LIES IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

In his Historical Researches" for
October, Martin I. ]. Griffin contra
diets and colrects some statements
made by G. Wilfred Pearce in the Bos-
ton Pilot of Nov. 25, 1895, concerning
Jesuit priest named Father Robert
Harding, whom the writer called ''the
Peter THE Hermit Of the American
Revolution" because as early as 176S
he preached dn Boston against the ty-
ranny of the British government. Mr..
Griffin says that Father Harding never
preached against British tyranny in
that year or at any other time and
quotes the Rev. Jacob Duche, chaplain
of the Continental congress, as saying
Of him that he was attached to Eng
lish liberty. Mr.. Griffin adds that he
was numbered among the American
patriots by John Culinary Shea, simply
because the Catholic historian was ig
norant of the priests death, which was
on Sept. 1, 1872.
Mr.. Griffin also denies that the news
Of the surrender of CORVALLIS was
brought to Philadelphia by a courier
of Washington's army who was men,

Henri Watterson, of the Courier

A Catholic Winter School.

The Benedictines of st. Johns Uni
versity, Collegeville. Minn., have is
sued the following circular letter to
the clergy in reference to the winter
school to be opened by them next
month:
Rev. and Dear Father:
AS there is large class of Catholic
young men who are anxious to sup
plement their common-school educa-
ton by course in higher Catholic
school, but whose circumstances do
not permit them to attend during
full term at a Catholic college, we
have decided to introduce at our insti-
tuition Catholic Winter School, in
which both preparatory and CONNER
cial courses will be taught. This win
ter school will be in session from No
vember 9Th to March Goth. The ex-
penses for board, tuition and laundry
ing are fixed at 500 for the entire
session.
We shall be pleased to mail circu-
lars and catalogues free. Believing
that an enterprise Of this kind will
meet with your hearty approval, we
venture to suggest that you kindly
recommend this Catholic Winter School
to the young men of your parish and
their parents.
Thanking you in advance for the
favor, we remain
Most respectfully yours,
ST. JOHNS UNIVERSITY.
REV. BRUNO DOERFLER, o. 8. B..
e-President.

1t is reported that President Roose-
welt is using his influence with the
European powers to stop the Anglo
Boer war. The American Transvaal
League, with headquarters in Chica-
go, is circulating postal cards ad-
dressed to the president as follows:
,"Please stop the shipments of horses
ana mules from New Orleans to Cape
Town, if possible, and make England
fight fair in South Africa" Perhaps
that postal card has induced Teddy to
open negotiations with the continental
powers of Europe. In our opinion.
England does not require much urg-
ing at this time to withdraw her
troops from the South African veldts.

endearing name by which he is known.
Mr.. Griffin asserts that such false
history as that given by Pearce is
eagerly printed by the Catholic press
and that it is ''the stuff our papers
like" We beg to assure Mr. Griffin
that he is mistaken if he thinks Cath
Ollie papers like to publish historical
lies. They do not OF course, 1T is
natural that they reproduce articles
purporting to be based on historical
facts which reflect credit on the church
they represent, but how is the ordinary
Catholic editor to find out whether
Pearce is telling the truth or not?
The Catholics in Revolutionary days
were loyal to the American cause and
contributed their share to the achieve
ment of liberty. That is all the Catho-
lies claim. Strange as it may seem to
Mr.. Griffin, the Puritan historians do
not give due credit to the Catholics of
that period for their fidelity to Wash
ington. Take UP Bancroft, Mr.. Griffin,
and what do you find there about John
Barry. the first commodore Of the
American navy. whose history you have
written yourself? Can it be that his
name is entirely omitted simply be,
cause of his religion and nationality?
Other distinguished men of the Catho-
Lie faith are completely ignored in
American school histories of the pres
ent day. How much is said in them
of Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, and Of
his brother. the archbishop, who accom-
panied Franklin into Canada to keep
the people there from supporting King
George? Where do you find in them
that through the influence of Archbish-
op Carroll two regiments Of Canadian
Catholics fought ON the American side
during the whole swar?
Where is it mentioned that the Gath
Ollie Indians of Maine, under THEN
chief, Orono, took up the cause of the
colonists when the unchristianized red
men were killing them in England's
service with tonlahawk and scalping
knife? The st. Regis Indians on the
New York border fought with the
Americans, and they, too, were Catho
lies. Where do you find mention of IL
in the New England school histories?
The omission of such information may
not be historical lies," but "suppressio
veri, suggestio fala." The compilers
and publishers of such histories do not
desire the American youth to know
what an honorable and patriotic part
was taken by Catholics in the estab-
lishment of the American republic,
We want no "lying history" in Cath

ing compelled Miss Kelley, an ironer, to
work two hours overtime According to
her testimony she did so the first night,
but when asked to do so a second time
answered that she could not stand the
strain. She was discharged and refused
overtime Another employee of the laun-
dry and Commissioner Blackman sub
stantiated Miss Kelley's story.
The jury found Knudson guilty and a

BRITISH GOVERNMENT POLICY
TO TREAT BOERs AS BRIGANDs.
Mr.. ChnmberIain's Statement in Re
gard to Present War support
ed-Boers to suffer Death Penalty
-Leniency N Thing of the Past.

New York, Aug. 5.-Commenting
upon the latest announced policy of
the British government in dealing
with the Beers, the London CORE
spondent of the Tribune says:
The statement made by Mr.. Cham
berlain in the house of commons re-
Gently with regard to the war in
South Africa was received with loud
cheers from his supporters. The
prompt action of the government in
telegraphing General Kitchener that
all Beers guilty of killing natives en-
ployed by the British forces were to
suffer the death penalty is generally
approved, although some people al
feet 10 believe it will lead to further
barbarities by the Beers toward any
white prisoner that may fall into their
hands.
In any case, the policy of leniency
on the part of General Kitchener has
become a thing of the past, and
armed Beers will in future be treated
as brigands. There is much bitter
discussion in and out of parliament
but the most reasonable view is that
the guerrilla warfare has reached the
state of decentralization where Boel
commanders can not be controlled by
either General Botha or Mr.. Kruger
1t has been expected from the outset
| by South Africans that the final stage
of the campaign would be character
lied by acts of desperation on the
Boer side. So intense is the desire
to have the campaign finished tina
even the atrocities would be welcomed
by many if they could be convinced
that these were signs that the end o
a deplorabe war was in sight.
