The Marquette Statue.

1t is the part of wisdom to prevent.
by the exercise of prudence, an express
sion of religious intolerance that, if
famed by opposition, is likely to lead
to disgraceful scenes of violence. In
this view it was wise to dispense with
the elaborat tie ceremonies with which il
was intended to unveil the statue of
Father Marquette in Statuary hall of
the national capitol. While it is not
easy to see how the. figure of the priest
could be made historical without his
sacerdotal robes, the offending initials

been left out of the inscription without
initiating against the fact that the
statue was the gift of the state of
Wisconsin," or that James Marquette,
with Louis Joliet, discovered the Mis-
sissippi river at Prairie du Chen, on
the 18th of June, 1873" The robes in
this instance are a designating part of
the man, without which, even by the
aid of the statue and it's exemplanatory
inscription, il would perhaps be diff
cult to find the place of James Mar
quette in history.
1t is understood that Wisconsin pays
this tribute to Marquette's memory as
to that of an intrepid explorer who,
more than two centuries ago, with the
companion Jointly honored with him in

made.
After all, however, 1t is a small thing
to make a fuss about, and furnishes an
antism that it would be difficult for
Romanism, in the present age, to sur
pass. The country is fortunate when,
by concession at the proper time,
public exhibition of the unreasoning
quality of ecclesiastical zeal and its
counterpart in ecclesiastical antagon-
ism is forestalled.
All can honor and should honor the
memory of James Marquette as an ex-
plorer. His achievement in that line
was possibly only through persistent
endeavor and a rugged quality of en-
durance that, each in it's way, is ad-
mirable But IL is unreasonable to ex-
pect that all will honor him as a Jesuit
missionary, working under the direc-
ton of the Society of Jesus" or look
with awe, or even with favor, upon
his priestly vestments. But, since IL
would have been difficult for a statue
to mark his place in history without
its presentation i'm these vestments
there can be no objection to them that
would not lie with equal weight against
the acceptance of the statue itself by
the national government. The feeling
that has grown out of the matter
