THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.

1t would be easier to write the history OF the
Catholic denomination in the city of New-York
after $50 than prior to that date as the Church
has been wofully lax I'm the keeping of records
This may be attributed to two causes: First.
the non-toeration, unde~ the Dutch. Of any
religion but the Calvinist and. second. the pro-
scripton, under British rule, with the exception
of the period of the Dongan administration, of
Catholicity and Catholic worship under penalty
of the law. Other religious bodies were subject
to certain intolerdnt rules during both admin
istrations and, as has been told in the short
histories Of the denominations. members Of them
were punished for the infraction Of these rules.
but statute law existed prohibiting the en-
trance into the colony Of any other sect but the
Catholic
As far back as 1913. twenty-eight years after
the settlement was founded. it is recorded that
the Dutch ransomed from the Mohawks one
Father Isaac Joques, who had been a slave in
the tribe for nearly year, and brought him
20 their settlement, and that there he found two
of his own faith; that after the departure of
this priest for Holland. another. the Rev Francis
Joseph Bressani, who had also fallen into the
hands of the Indians. was rescued by the Dutch
and brought to New-Amsterdam. No record ex-
lists. however. Of either having performed priest
~ functions.
in 1864 no person who professed Christianity
was 'to be nlolested, fired or imprisoned for DIFF
fering in opinion matters OF religion and
the new colony was opened to the Catholics,
but few Of the sect were i'm New-York to avail
themselves Of the new order Of things. In 1914
Governor Andres arrived, and with him. as Lieu
tenant Governor came Anthony Brockholls a
Lancashire Catholic. The Lieutenant Governor
interested himself i'm the affairs Of his religion.
and sought to increase the number OF its wor-
shippers in the colony Through him n few
Catholic settlers arrived, and petitions were
made to the Jesuit missionaries the Chesa-
peake 70 extend their mission to New-York.
which they did for a time. With the advent Of
Governor DOngan, Catholic. in 1888, religious
liberation still further extended and a
Catholic mission was organized. consisting of
Father Henry Harrison and Father Charles
Gage. with two lay brothers. They were to min
lister to the Catholics In the province and to re-
place the French missionaries among the Ind
ians. For the use Of the Governor and his
household and the small body OF Catholics in
the city a room fitted UP n chapel in
his house in the fort. and here the first worship
took place. In 1851. the grounds now occu-
pied by Trinity Church. a Latin school was

some OF the greatest ladies speak the Idlom OF

Only frenzied fool would make such
an exhibition of his littleness.
In his Naval War Of 1912" volume
page 1913 he says that Thomas Jeffer-
son was perhaps the most incapable
executive that ever filled the presiden-
tial chair. Listen to the rawlings of this
political megalomaniac.
But the claim made by some Repub-
licans that the Bryan Democrats will
support Roosevelt sounds rather anus
ing. No Republican stump orator in
the last national campaign used Ian
guage so Incorporate, so intolerant, Sc
extravagant, so unprecedented, so un-
dignified and so bitter against William
j. Bryan as did Theodore Roosevelt
He said that Bryan believed in free
and unlimited rioting and referred to
him as repudiator, agrarian, anar-
chist and windy demagogue.
The Democrat and especially the
Bryan Democrat who will vote for
Roosevelt in the face of all this must
have a serious grudge at his politics.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1904-08-26
Excuse Us from Voting for Ted

dy."
1t is reported by some Republicans
in authority that throughout Stark
county there are many Democrats
who are friends of Bryan that will
vote for Roosevelt. In order that
they may vote intelligently it will be
the purpose of this article to let them
know how this man, who occupies the
White House today by reason of an
assassin's bullet, loves Democrats, the
Democratic party, and more particular
ly William Jennings bryan.
When he was on the civil service
commission in New York City he pur-
posely and deliberately issued an or
der by which 1000 Democratic police
men were to be sent SO far out of their
bailiwicks the night before election SO
that it would be impossible for them
to get back in time to vote. It was
done under the pretense Of giving the
people in a certain section law and
order, but an idiot could see the mo-
tive. AS soon as it was discovered the
other members of the commission had
the order rescinded and Roosevelt was
thereby halted in his diabolical at
tempt to rob Democratic policemen of
the greatest privilege they had. An
official who by word or action deliber-
ately trys to prevent legal voter CT
opposite politics from exercising the
right of suffrage is as bad as ballot
box suffer be it Theodore Roosevelt,
John Y. McKayne or anybody else.
AT the dedication of the st. Louis
exposition in 1903 Roosevelt, being
president Of the United States, was Sc
lected to deliver the oration on the
Louisiana Purchase. He delivered the
oration but never once mentioned
Thomas Jefferson's name, and yet the
Louisiana Purchase was effected under
Jenersons administration. 1t cannot
be claimed for him by his friends that
he forgot 1t, for Jefferson's name is
SO linked and intertwined with the
Louisiana Purchase that only a studied
genius could compose speech on the
Louisiana Purchase and leave out JEFF
ferson's name.
A man who Is so stepped in political
prejudice in this age Of learning,
science, progress and liberality, is too
infinitely small to be elected president
of the United States for this great re-
public.
At the unveiling of the monument at
Antietam last year Roosevelt was again
selected as the orator of the day. In
the course of his remarks he mentioned
every Union general and referred to
nearly every Rebel general, but never
once mentioned George B. McClellan's
name, and yet Mcclellan was the
commanding general at that battle.

Ward, of New Jersey. is the tennis
champion of the United States. In
tn finals today Of the tournament that
has been on at the Casino here for
several days past he defeated w. ].
Clothier, of Pennsylvania, in straight
sets after a bitterly fought contest.
The scores were 1913, GA and 81.
Ward played brilliant tennis
throughout but had his work cut
out for him to defeat the steady and
careful play of Clothier.

The county treasurers of the state
are making a howl because the new
system Of accounting makes them more
work. They will in some instances
have to hire an extra clerk. In other
words, they will have to keep books up
to date instead OF letting the auditors
keep accounts for both. They can
apply little of the interest they are
drawing from private banks on county
funds to pay this extra clerk hire.

Minerva is wet for the first time
in fifteen years. 1t is said that many
persons who are naturally in favor
of keeping the saloons out voted wet
for the reason that certain persons
in the drug business were getting rich
too rapidly. This goes to show that
when reformers win a victory and
then fail to hold up to their privil
eyes they lose what they have gained
Two or three saloons can now be
looked for in that village within a
short time. The people will then have
an opportunity of comparing the two
situations.

there have been light frosts.

A lot of miscellaneous war pictures
are being used to represent the fight

When II is considered that the simple
accounts of the battles cannot be
smuggled out through the censors, il
is easily believed that these pictures
are purely imaginary, as neither army
would allow any photographs to be
taken, much less sent out of the coun
try.
