the Negroes have all the privileges

and democratic of the city council, pro- |
posed that bis party elect this Negro |
market master and pledged him their |
vote and full support. (He would need |
but two more votes to elect him. hut |
he would have nothing tn do with it
no not him; the proposition originated |
among democrats and hated Catholics, |
and he would never ba p candidate

Y4a. I believe, that the Holy Father,
LEO Nil, IS the Vicar OF Christ on
earth. and confess Is is the ardent de-
sire Of all Catholics that all protesting
Christians will be embraced within their
fold But not in this article will I dis
Cuss questions Of faith. It has abs0-
lutely no place mere, 1t is no part of the
issue. For these purposes It might all
be admitted, though it ia not. 1t does
but prove that the entire body Of Cath
Olics of New York City do not In any
sense represent what the Church is; it
is Rome alone that speaks for the
Church; and when Rome speaks, moth
ing further is said.

Postmaster Baker, and that the Magic |
csse is good law, but it is insisted that |

IN the case Of Justic Field, the Depart
ment Of Justice knew of the threats |
against him, and tat Terry was dan

Such knowledge was not had. My broth
