st. Charles church was again crowded
on Sunday evening last to hear Rev.
James M. Cleary. Under the title OF
"Gen. Morgan's Nightmare Continued" )"
Father Oleary dwelt at length on the
generals connection with Indian affairs.
The latter had resorted to insinuation, a
weapon Of dishonest men, only to be re-
pelled by exposing the basenees of him
who resorted to it. He said at Emmanuel
church that the Catholics we're plotting
against American institutions at the
Philadelphia meeting and almost in the
same breath complained because he did
not know what was being done at that
meeting. Father Oleary continued Gen.
Morgan and his two Baptist clerical
friends emerged from private room at
the Emmanuel Baptist church to the
platform, on the occasion of the vile IT,
rade against the Catholic church. I have
no knowledge of the subject of their con-
versation before that, and am not JUS
titled in suspecting them Of plotting mis-
chief, simply because am ignorant
of their doings. But would be more
justified in accusing them Of gloating
over the salacious tales, with which the
festive pastor of the Calvary Baptist
church might have been entertaining his
godly friends, Of his experiences in the
Minneapolis dens of vice.
"The patriotic pastor of Bethlehem
Presbyterian church is quite alarmed
over his suspicion that the priests who
have been exposing Gen. Morgan's mem
dacity are of foreign birth. Both were
born in these United States. It i'll be-
comes ranting preacher Of the national
church Of bonny SEQ land, with Nc to
his name, to allude to foreign origin or
foreign birth. The only reply to give to
the kind of assertions and suspicious
thrown out by this class of libslers, is
the reply given by one Of the Rev. Mr..
McCaslin's pious Presbyterian ushers to
q disturber at that place of worship last
Sunday evening. AS an evidence OF Mr..
Morgan's goodness and his claim for
credence now, this good Presbyterian
pastor tells us, that in his boyhood days
he was klovn by everyone in Hoosier-
dom, and tLi.t he was familiarly called
Tom So was one of the Younger fam
lily known all over the country as Bob.
"As for our Indian schools and the
policy of the government toward the red
men, such historians as Bancroft and
Parton, Protestants though they were,
have recorded in words of praise and
eloquence the deeds of the jealous and
self denying Catholic missionaries who
have redeemed Americas fair fame from
everlasting dishonor. Wisconsin, at the
suggestion of non Catholic legislator,
is preparing to offer its first gift to the
nations gallery ot, fame at Washington
in the form of statue of Father Mar
quette. who in 1873 explored our own
Mississippi river faom Prairie du CHEN
to the mouth of the Arkansas.
s'There were no well-paid Indian COM
missioners in those days, and no rivalry
among jarring seots for establishing
schools among the Indian tribes. The
Catholic missionaries had the field all to
themselves, and Baptist, Methodist and
Presbyterian alike are not on record as
having been at all envious. There was
q spirit OF Jesuitism about their work,
which had in it no attractions for the Or,
dinary modern maligner of heroic mo-
4ives and sanity men. When such mis-
chievous traducers of honest mon as this
mendacious Mr.. Morgan, and the vener-
able pastor Of the First Baptist church,
venture to tell their people what the
Catholic Church and the Jesuite do when
opportunity offers, why will they not re-
fer to, the pages OF our American history,
recording the unrivalled devotion of the
Jesuit missionary in the cause Of degrad-
ed dhumanity. While their dishonored an
cestors were hanging Quakers and burn
ing witches, and driving into forlorn ex-
lie the members OF the: fanatioal Ply
mouth colony, that ventured to express
an opinion Of their own. the Jesuits were
.civilizing his s4sage and planting the
knowledge of the living God in. their
hearts. But these misguided men with
