it is expected that Rev. John Gardner
Murray of St Michael and All Angels
will be brought forward in connection
with the position, as he has been acting
for some time in the capacity of an assist

mood, none having made an active cam
paign for the position.
There is every reason to believe that a
Baltimore man will be chosen. but any

State Of The Church.
Cardinal Gibbons Says the Spirit of Freedom in
America Is Preferable to Union" in
European Countries.

Catholics in Washington and in all parts
of the country. will read with interest an
interview granted recently in Rome by
Cardinal Gibbons to a correspondent Of
the Corriere d. Italia in which the head
of the church in America compares the
conditions Of the church here with those
in the Catholic countries of Europe-the
balance being entirely in favor of Amer
lea.
The cardinal ascribes the f1ourishing
state Of the church in the United States.
humanity speaking, to three principal
causes % the separation of church and
state. CO the activity OF the clergy and
90 the economic organization of the
church in America. by which the people
themselves and not the government con-
tribute directly to the support of religion.
With regard to the first point, the car
dinal is careful to explain that he is not
at all speaking about the theory Of union
what he means is that the state of free
dom enjoyed in America is infinitely pref
cradle and more fruitful for religion
than the kind of union which prevails
today in the Catholic countries in Europe.
The cardinal declares that while the gov
eminent in America leaves the church
free, it does not ignore IT: on the con-
trary, the government looks With SYM
pathy on the success of the church,
knowing that thereby the forces of Or
der are strengthened. He quoted some
instances to show that the civil authori-
ties are always willing to show their re-
spect for religion, and he declares, as
an example. that although there is no
formal law against atheism, the mere
fact that a man is an atheist is enough to
exclude him from all public offices in the
United States.
He then pays a glowing tribute to the
zeal and the exemplary conduct of the
clergy Of the United States, and declares
that no small share OF the prosperity of

there seems to be no redress from 1t.
From a journalistic standpoint the
fault does not often lie with the reporters.
They have TO go where they are sent and
do what they are told, and the majority
of them are intelligent and honora BILE
men. The chief trouble comes from ire
sponsible correspondents who make up
sensational stories and telegraph them
entirely for the money they make out
of it.
Underlying much of this terrible injus-
tice is fallacy. namely, that the people
have right to know. The general public
has right to hnow every individual 5

United the people have right to know
only what facts are brought out at a due
and proper trial. This idea that the
police, or any other authorities, have a
right to publish their theories and sus-
picions. no matter how many honorable
men and women they may dishonor. how
many hearts they may break and how
many lives they may ruin by their igno-
rant or malicious imprudence, is mon
strous. and the intelligence Of the Ameri-
can people should be able to devise some
way of furnishing such offenders

signed principally to relieve the bishop
of an increasing mass of work.
The convention is to be held in St
Peters Church. Druid Hill avenue and
Lanvale street. About $50 delegates are
expected to be present. This number Is
equally divided between clergy and laity

the same Identical weight. The larger
portion of the churches in the diocese Will
have only two delegates-One lay and one
clergyman. or his proXy-but a number OF
the larger congregations will be entitled
to additional representatives. These addi-
tional delegates will represent one clerical
