not among the tombs = Yours sincerely,
Call, December %, 1895. JOHN VERTIN,
Bishop Of Marquette.
Are YOU not ashamed of your falsehood and
of your language? You call man at once
cur and a lepeT for exposing your pruriency.
What is the sense of calling any one a dog?
While on the question OF promises and con-
sistent conduct let me draw your attention TO
YOUR original position and subsequent course
of action. II you remember, you came at me
in your first le tiers like scalping Indian.
Your onset nearly scared the wits out OF me.
For some days l could see war paint and feath-
and scalping knives wherever l raised my
eyes. At night dreamt of all the Indian sto-
ries had ever heard or read. Your warwhoop,
as you danced around me, was ''put up or shut
up" l said: LET the public in to see the
scalping." You answered in Vanderbilt's la
comic words: "The public be anathema." But
finally. when C. A. Hubbell took your bet on
condition that proofs be submitted in open
court you said: "That suits me admira bly,"
We thought you. meant what you said, but
what was our surprise when FOote let YOUR cat
out by saying that you engaged him with the
express understanding that all be in private.
You made Foote your scapegoat. Perhaps he
is happy.
Besides, you ought to be brave enough to
meet me anywhere, seeing you have the whole
deposit of truth and religion on your side,
and have only lies an d forgeries on mine.
Again, let me "hold the mirror up to nature"
in the deadly parallel
YoRKE CONSISTENT. IYoRKE INCONSISTENT.
Talking ate For three months he
prove nothing. Put up has talked necessarily
or shut up" See THE through the press, and
CALL during December. through his hat" and
winds up by saying on
the Sth inst. that he has
proven himself right and
all else wrong.
What think you of two-faced person like
4" the mythical James? What think you OF de-
ceitful priest? What think you OF priest who
strives more for victory than for truth? Is he
under any circumstances God? Can he, with
ont moral sin, say ego te absolvo? Let me tell
you, sir, the lie which you uttered about
Becker, and which Bishop Vertin brings home
to you, will stay with you; 1t will be with you
pany. 1t Will stalk with you into the sanctu-
ary and stand beside you and the altar. II will
weigh your words down 10 earth, though your
face be turned to the heavens. 1t will stand
by your deathbed and dwell with you in eter-
nifty. The living God has declared that there
shall in no wise enter heaven anything that
maketh lie.
In your interview of Sunday, March 8, in THE
CALL you say: ''These old ISLANDERS against nv
church have been souareIy met and refuted;'
That sentence is worth looking at for mo-
ment. Who slandered your church? What
were the ISLANDERS? When did you ever meet
SQudrelN-eXcept q medlI
What have YOU refuted?
I know of no fewer than a dozen Roman
Catholic laymen in this City who have said
that you told iasehoods in your attempted re-
plies 10 my lectures. / know OF number of
Roman Catholics who have looked CD Schrader
and found out your willful fasehood about
the Syllabus. have read your hvsterical at
tempts to answer or refute turn aside my
proofs, as you tried to set Yourself right with
the public. But let me ask you what can be
an answer to my proofs? Let us see am
no inc tot
or the substance of il, in any Roman Catholic
publication: "In case of conflict between eccle-
slastlcaI and civil powers the ecclesiastical
ought TO prevail" Please note that your own

take this proposition rst because took
1t first IN the lectures, and since you give me
the choice between the statement or its sub
stance, choose to find the substance of it.
since it gives wide and clear field
PROOF. YoRKE's ANSWER
Pope Plus IN, in his "Ross ought TO sell his
famous syllabus OF De- Catholic books and buy

That quotation from the Jesuit Schrader is
clearly the thing you demanded from me II
is clear to any one who knows the English
language so perfectly rs you say you do that
since the civil law does not prevail whenever
1t may happen TO be in conflict with your
church the church law ought to and must pre-
vail.
Let me show in the deadly parallel what Won
asked me 10 find in substance and see if /
have not found it in this quotation. Let it be
understood that il is the Pope who saws the
state laws do not prevail when in conflict with
his church law.
