Prof. Swing on the New Catholics.

To the Editor OF the indianapolis Journal:
Professor Swing. of Chicago, preached an
able sermon on the 4th inst. on what he
chose to call the new Catholics, and it
would have been very timely if it were at
all applicable to existing conditions. It's
central thought is that the Catholics of to-
dav are no more to be judged by the Cath
olcs of the middle ages than the Cal
vinists and Others and that therefore it is
not necessary, when dining with Catholic,
to fear poison in the coffee or to carry a
pistol i'm ones dress coat. Now. Dr. Swing
is not the discoverer OF this TRUTH and it
was hardly necessary TO send a liberal
synopsis of the sermon through the Assoc
ciated Press to the whole country or to pub
lish it in full the next morning in the Chi
cago papers. The fact is, Or. Swing con-
structed a huge man of straw and then
pommeled II numerically.
The occasion of the sermon was the unrest
now pervading the city of Chicago growing
out of the practical monopoly of the offices
by Catholics. The preacher apologies for
this by saying: IF the Catholics are seek
ing political office they are so far pursuing
their path of political right. They would be
a peculiar kind of American if they were not
running for office. our Nation must be just,
and il cannot be just If il denies a Roman
Catholic the right of holding any office
within its confines: This may we'll be en-
titled straw effigy No 2. for not one Protest
ant in a thousand ever thinks of ostracising
any man politically. socially or CONNER
cially on account of his religion if otherwise
he is worthy. PrOtestants readily concede
that during the late war, though the num-
Der Of Catholic private soldiers was not
propOrtonate 10 the number of Catholic
votes there were thousands of Catholics
truly patriotic in the ranks as ever marched
TO the music OF a drum. and though the
number of field officers was greater proper
tionately than the number of privateS, no
one ever called in question their ability or
their love of country, and none live in the
hearts OF loyal Americans more than such
OF these as proved themselves worthy and
we'll qualified. Catholics have honored every
political position from the Supreme Court
of the Nation 10 the humbest employee of
the city or State. and no Protestant has
ever objected. When. Is the case to-day

the real issue 1t is not because Protest
ants are opposed to Catholics holding office
nor because they fear that in office they
will become cruel or oppressive. but be-
cause they want fair divide. Protestants
are American, too, and have the Amerl-
can instinct for office, but it is the unequal
divide which is causing the political unrest
in Chicago which the inspiration of
the sermon, and the unrest will not be
quieted because the gifted preacher so skill
fully sought to raise an issue where none
can be found.
When that committee of Democratic lead
ers from Chicago called in person upon
President Cleveland few weeks ago and
requested him 10 make no more Catholic
appointments for their city at present they
Catholics. but only sought the good of the
Democratic party They simply said there
might be too much of a good thing. as
would be suggested by a partial list of pres
ent Catholic ofhceholders-the Mayor, the
postmaster, the chief of police, the chief of
the fire department. the city treasurer the
county treasurer the clerk of the Criminal
Court, the clerk of the Circuit Court, the
clerk of the Superior Court. the clerk of
the Probate Court and a majority of the
% per cent. of the police force, ~ per cent.
of the fire department, 50 per cent of the
school teachers and nifty of the sixty alder
men and nearly all the subordinate en-
ployes in and about the several offices and
on street work under the control of the city.
III is said that the President agreed to hold
up for awhile 1t will be seen from this
partial list that there is nothing un-A nerican
about Chicago Catholics. They run for
Office and usually get there. and the gifted
readers away from the real issue and plead
for the new Catholic as entirely worthy OF
confidence will not succeed. L.. L. SEE.

SAFETY BOARD MATTERS.


Police Removals Not contemplated.
President Ruckle and Mr.. Conner, of the
Board of Public Safety, said yesterday that
they had heard nothing of the resignation
of superintendent Powell and did not be-
lieve it would be rendered the board. Presi-
dent Ruckle said Captain Campbell had
been instructed to take steps for the clos
ing of "Bilr' Irons pool room, which has
been running on North Illinois street in
open violation of the law. The board has
decided that ii would be useless to make
an arrest and bring Iron before the Police
Court for the reason that he would imme-
diately appeal the case to the Criminal
Court. President Ruckle says the police
will seek to gather sufficient evidence to
present to the grand jury upon which to
demand an Indictment against Iron and
bring the case into the Criminal Court in
board also said that the board did not con-
template making any removals in the fire
department. Such members of the depart
ment were brought before ii for drunk
enness or other offenses against the rules
of the department would be punished and,
upon q repetition of the offense would be
removed. AS regards the police force, he
said there would be no wholesale removals.
The board did not intend to remove men
from the force unless they were shown to
be incompetent or negligent in the perform
ance of their dutY

The BeIle-street Sewer.

A. II. Kemper, William F. Wright, of the
Brightwood Town Board j. V. Confer. en-
gineer. and Joseph Healing, attorney for
the Town Board, were before the Board of
Public Works, yesterday afternoon. for the
purpose of making some sort of arrange
ment with the city by which Brightwood
shall join with the city in the construction
of the Belle-street sewer. The surface water
from Brightwood drains naturally towards
the city and must find an outlet through
the city sewers. The Brightwood trustees
desire to build sewer extending east and
west across the town and connect with the
Belle-Street sewer at Rural street. The
Board of Public Works is willing that the
suburb should join with the city in the con-
struction of this sewer, and City Engineer
Brown will prepare the estimates of the
cost of making the proper connections.
