furDia OF John Joseph keane, late rectol
uf The Catholic University, the arrival cl
Mgr. MartiBclli ana departure of Cardinal
SatUlli from the office of raral delegate
to the United states, the assertion that
Sat,ill is responsible for Keane'S removal
with the counter statement that the .Iesuits
with Archbishop CorrigaH are at the bot
tom of il, together with the meeting last
night in honor of Father keane, furnish
''fuod for thought" ard conversation both
INSIDE and outside CattcIic circles anI an
unnsual diversion from political discus
sion.
The central event Of this series, however,
the blow Ia liberal Catholics III, may prove
not without effect in tie great political
contest now in progress. II rcvives To
some extent the force OF the American Pro-
tective Association which is icing used
in every direction for tie party that will
do most for that organization.
But above ana below and far beyond any
occasional partisan fight III politics, this
change, it is thought, viii open up Il trc-
mendous struggle. involving the entire
Catholic church. the NEST powerful single
Organization in the Christian civilized world
for more Than fifteen centuries.
SEVERAL GREAT QUESTIONS.
Incidentally. the Cat holic Total 4 abstinence
Society aud Its fight against tie SALOONS,
The American 81 ohOOl question, and the per-
sC;i;l rivalry of Archbishop Corrigan. Met
ropoltan of New York. and Archbishop Ire
land, The impetuous 4 American Catholicleadcr
OF The Northwest, enter into the play of Dp-
posing forces.
II is asserted that Cardinal Satolli is re-
sponsible fortlle retirement of Bishop keanc.
II is denied. Itis pointed out that Pope Leo
told Mgr. Schroeder last summer th5t
he knew all about the Catholic University.
ana he could have got itonly from his per
sonIl representative, Cardinal Satolli, and
the removal of bishop Keanc is the result
y :-ainst this is put Il story that the Jesuits
are responsible, and are shrcwdly throwing
the blame on the retiring ableSate. lie Is
alleged 10 haze successfully cut his stay
after his successors arrival from a month
10 fifteen days, TO five days, ami finally
to have gone the fourth day, bcca use Of
the odium attached 10 the removal of the
beloved rector and the injury TO the ami
versity
Against this, spoken of as a dust cloud
thrown up by the Jcsuits, it is pointed
out that CARDINAL Satolli came here with
Mgr. r'Conncli, till late president of the
American College at Rome, lived 1T the
university for time 10y O'Cunnell's adj
vice, was personally unfriendIy Ia Arch
bishop Corrigan, though obliged TO confer
and cooperate with him in many church
matters; that Mgr O'Connclrs loss of
influence at Rome and deposition was

Bishop keane's removal, while Mgr Mar
tinelli, as the new delegate, goes, out of
his way to praise Archbishop Corrigan,
and meets Cardinal Gibbons, ii friend OF
the university, and Vice Rector Garrigan,
with tbcuniversityf faculty only with formal
courtesy.
JESUiTS OPPOSED 1T.
In addition, it is argued, the Jcsuits, from
the first inception OF the Catholic University,
have opposed it. When they learned il
would be located at Washington, where their
most famous college was the leading iu-
they became furious. No stouc
was left uniurned to defeat the project.
When a great gift OF money assured its
success, they nevertheless continued a bitter
that was only intensified when
the university began work, drl wing to some
extent from their support.
At every point they met the university in
fuenoe with determined opposition. Was
the university liberal aud in favor of Arch
histtop Irelaud's scheme for getting the use
for Catholic children of public school funds
collected frcm Catholic parents? The So
c:ety of Jesus added its strength to Arch
bishop Corrigan in oppnsingit.
I.a f,,p
he Abstinence Society against SALOON in-
lueDce? The Jesuit Fathers would not
'cfutinize too closely a legitimate business.
+ the university was in The hands of the
rsh and French priests, causing anita gon-
sIn among the Germans, discord had TO-
mentors in the Jesuit ranks.
This is the gossip of those who say
Cardinal SatolIi is not 10 blam on the
,ther hand. Father Parlow, provincial of
he Society Of Jesus for New England and
he Atlantic States, was at the reception
o Cardinal Satolli on last Sunday night,
ma spoke as the recognized head of the

SUPPORTED THE JESUITS.
Words used by him then meant clearly
hat Cardinal Saiolli supported the Jesuit
POSITION in regard 10 public schools. This is
,riefly stated 10 bc that absolute igporancc
or Catholic children is preferable to cduca-
ion without complete control by Catholics
# every detail of the instruction given.
1t was Furthermore pointed out that Car |
linal Satolli was theologian of the turn Of |
he school men of the middle ages. He |
arried logic TO an exceedingly fine point, |
md was prone 10 disregard human syInpa- |
,r-l,,
themselves upon him as the truth of philos- !
'phy. He was inclined to look down upon !
bishop Keane as unlearned, because not |
graduate, and merely a popular |
'urvcyor Of necessary money.
Thcinjury to the university by the removal !,
4 the rector is conceded by all. Whether |
will be as serious as feared by Archbishop |
reland is questioned 1t is said that three |
rills have been changed in Washington alone |
incc bishop Keane went away, and the loss |
o the university by one alteration was $780, |
100, by another 100000, and by the
bird ST 30 900.
There is Il suggestion also that influences
ire at work in Europe, aud especially in
taly, against the success of an American
University. II is preferred there that Ameri-
ans should still come to Rome for the Ugh
st education. In this connection II It's pointed
'ut that the Catholic University of ireland,
ven with the great John Henry Newman
L its head, for seven years, was finally
'verthrown and made failure.
AS to the election OF a new rector for
lie university, forecasts vary. Conde B.
'ailen, editor OF leading Catholic journal
t st. Louis, says the pope would not stuItify
imself by reappointing Bishop keane. Mr..
