wanton Attack unon Catholics.

Under the heading Anti Clericalism
in Spain" the London Catholic Times
says: Reports gradually coming to
hand show that the disturbances in Bill
bao were more serious than at first
appeared. There is now no doubt that
the republicans, aided by band Of
irreiigious sectaries. made a deliberate
and wanton attack upon the Catholics
while engaged in a procession through
the town. Maddened at the sight of
the fervent faith of the people, they
seized and broke up images of the
saints, some of which they cast into the
rivers others they burnt. They at
tempted to force an entry into churches
and converts. Several priests were as
saulted and injured seriously, and it
was only when the police exerted their
strength that the riotous invaders were
finally quelled. Scores of arrests have
been made and no doubt the law courts
will deal with the rioters as they de-
serve. But the whole episode inspires
misgivings. For long time now ii
has been known that the anti-c clerical

Death of Sir Gerald pease.

The death took place at the Abbey.
Celridge, on Sunday, of Sir Gerald
Dease. and the news was received with
general expression of regret in the
district in which he was so well known.
Though he had been i'll for the past
fortnight, his death was not expected.
However, despite all the resources of
medical skill, he passed quietly away
about noon on Sunday The first pub
lie announcement of his passing away
was made to the people of Celridge on
Sunday just before last mass by Fa-
Their Russell, who with visible emotion
conveyed the sad intelligence that he
had left the dying bedside of Sir Ger
aid Dease, who only a fortnight be-
fore had been the leading figure in
their congregation. By his death
Catholicity is the poorer by the loss of
one of its most earnest and practical
professors, and the poor of Selbridge
have to mourn one who generously yet
unostentatiously always minister TO
their wants.
The late Sir Gerald Dease was born
in 1881 and was educated in Stony
hurst college. He was chamberlain to
the lord lieutenant. and was a director
of the G. S. & W. Railway company.

There are no indications on which to
base a prediction as to who will be
appointed archbishop of Milwaukee,
but the choice undoubtedly lies be-

Bishop Messmer The Polish clergy

Messmer is assigned to Milwaukee,
there is a liability of a Pole succeed

Too Little Zeal.

Catholics hide themselves and bury
their doctrines from our eyes. We
Protestants are more or less directly
given to understand that you do not
want US; that we have no concern with
Catholic doctrine. Politeness is dis
played toward US. but not zeal.
While Protestants of the best class see
Catholics sinful, it will never come into
their minds to imagine that the religion
of those people is divine
These plain words were addressed by
a Protestant gentleman of more than
average intelligence to a missionary in
the south. The gentleman was one of a
group of earnest inquirers who gath
cred about the priest after the close of
nonr-Catholic mission, and who re-
manned until midnight pouring out
questions, misunderstanding difficult
ties: expressing gratitude for the light
they got. The priests own comment
on the words will approve itself to all:
The coming of the kingdom of God is
hindered and delayed and frustrated
because we have too little zeal. Ave

churches of the city and Waterside a
letter was read from his lordship, the
Most Rev. DR.. O'Doherty. referring re-
gretfully to the revival of hurley-play-

against a practice out of keeping with

party in Spain was determined to force
a conflict between church and state.
The condition of the country, where
wretched economic conditions are fos-
tered by indefensible land laws, has
brought the peasants to a state of mis-
cry which they find unbearable. To
this must be added the unrest among
artisans in the towns, and when we add
still further the everlasting political
troubles which affiict Spain, we shall
have before US a picture the lines of

that the clergy and religious have a

Pope Loves the Parish Priest.
Plus Y was for many years par
ish priest He loved his work and still
has prediction for his early sacer-
dotal avocations. On a recert Sunday
afternoon, the people Of five Roman
parishes were admitted to the vatican.
The pope greeted them and preached
TO them on the gospel of the day. A
Rome correspondent says: There
was the same simple argument as on
the two previous occasions of the same
kind, the same enthusiasm among the
people, the same eloquence from the
Holy Father and the same profound
impression created by his words. Ine
pontiff had $1,000 auditors. He spoke
on the duties of parents to children and
children to parents. He naturally loves
parish priests. A short time before his
election as supreme pOntiff, a canonry
fell vacant at St. Marks. Cardinal
Sarto urged the appointment to the post
of a hard working parish priest. The
cathedral chapter did not see their
way to comply with the patriarch's
request. In fact, they claimed that they
did not know the ecclesiastic recon-
mended by the cardinal. He was an
obscure priest and more than half his
life had been spent in an obscure par
ish. No sooner was the patriarch of
Venice made pope, than the unknowr'
parish priest was made auxiliary bishop
of the vacant see. The canons of St
Marks will have an excellent oppor-
tunity of forming his acquaintance.
