ANTI-ROMANIsM IN AUSTRIA.
THE MOVEMENT NOT FAVORED BY LEADERS on
PROTEsTANTTsM. AND rs A POLITICAL ONE.

THE MOVEMENT NOT FAVORED BY LEADERS OF
PRoTEsTANTrsM. AND is A POLITICAL ONE.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Referring to the editorial in your issue Of
to-day upon ant-Romanlsm in Austria. ] would
call your attention to the fact that Austrian
Protestants have no welcome for the political de-
serters from the Roman Catholic Church.
DR.. Johanny, the well-known evangelical minis
ter Of Vienna says in one OF series of newspaper
articles this subject:
The Evangelical Church can have no share in ef,
forts which. under tine motto of Emancipation OF
nG n'O pppssbe tSst an
Austrian can look In sympathetic manner upon
a movement so unpatriotic and irreligious In It's
origin.
Again. the "Christlche Welt" publishes an article
from prominent Protestant divine In Austria. who
alleges that the agitation is purely political In its
origin. and says that in Austria the present
ment has support among the real leaders in
the Church.
In singular agreement with this is noteworthy
Catholic testimony. The special Austrian corre-
spondent OF THE Catholic Times" OF Liverpool,
England has made study of the trouble. II is
racial quarrel between the Germans and the Slavs.
wrought up by the bill the Czech language.
wherein the official preference given to that lam
guage meant the ruin Of the German interests in
Bohemia and in Slav quarters generally. The So
called Catholic party, under Baron de PAUL..
worked against the Germans TO the great natural
indignation Of the latter. Then the Radical wing
OF the Austrian Germans raised the cry OF Away
from Rome" They dared not shout Away from
Austria to the German nation" That would be
high treason. and punishable by law. but they as
serted a religious movement. on the ground that
Protestanism is identical with GeTmanism
Says the correspondent OF THE Catholic Times
Herr Schooner and Herr Wolf. the leaders OF the
movement boosted that by Easter ten thousand
would have become PrOtestants. but the prophecy
has been ignomnious failure. Much was made
OF the fact that there have been thirty-two per-
verts in the Catholic Tyro but on examination 1t
has appeared that only two of the thirty-two are
Tyrolese. all the others being natives OF other
provinces
The unanimous verdict is that those who have
fallen away from the Catholic Church were ami
mated by no religious motive whatsoever. and that
they Indifferent merely nominal Catholics

THE point which correspondent empha-
sizes was already we'll known TO u.s. and indeed
