be in reaching the people and arous-

Of pieces of literature must be

be secured, so the work must begin

that a national convention be con-

are dishonest; while the majority

INQUIsITION IN NEW ORLEANS.


The Philadelphia Public Ledger of
September IL printed a long article
showing how Spanish monk in
1888 arrived in New Orleans with a
full outfit to establish the papal In
QUESTION in this country. He called
upon the Spanish governor Don Els
tevan, of Louisiana, who was wiser
than the monk, and who saw what
the result would be. The writer of
the article says:
The monk had but arrived, and
had fastened to pay a visit Of re-
spect to Don Estevan. From the ship
that brought him over the various
instruments to be used in carrying
out the sentences of the Inquisition
were being brought ashore. So soon
as he could make such inquiry as
was necessary to inform him fully as
to the exact situation in New Orleans,
as to the degree of guilt Of those
who had offended, he would be ready
. to begin operations. He, of course,
would act with the greatest caution
and secrecy, and when the proper
time arrived to make arrests and
bring the prisoners before the Inqui-
sition he would call upon Don Este
van to furnish such soldiers as we're
required
Don Estevan received the monks
statement with graciOusness that
brought a glow of pleasure to the
Capuchins eyes. No one could be
more courtly than Don Estevan, and
no one, the monk declared, was more
worthy to represent his royal master.
''The monk arose and left the pal
ace, the governor, brave in his silks,
his satins and his gold and laces,
holding wide the door and bowling
deferentially to the churchman in
ragged brown cassock, sandaled feet
and broad-brimmed hat. His one
article of adornment was his rosary
with wooden crucifX
But once CH0 uOOT ClOS0u UCuIIlu
the ascetic, Don Estevan's manner
changed The mask Of diplomacy
was thrown off. Tears came into his
eyes and he threw himself dejectedly
into his chair What would the fools
do next? he asked himself. The In
QUESTION would ruin the colony, rob
Spain of one of it's richest posses
siOns bring the government into dis
grace and drive the people from the
church instead of winning converts
to it, Don Estevan was a good
churchman and a loyal Spaniard and
as such he considered his duty in all
its bearings. He reviewed in his
mind the conduct of Spain in Louisi-
ana, from the ceding of the territory
nearly thirty years before by France
how hard it had been to win the
French colonists to look with favor
on Spanish rule; how the massacre
of Don Alexandra OReilly, the Span
ish captain-general, of five of the

leading cOlOnists, whose Offense was
the love of France and their protest
against the transfer, had aroused a
spirit Of hatred against the Spanish
that only year the most patient
and kindly conduct by O'Reilly's sue
cessors, first Unzaga, then Gaivez
and next Don Estevan himself had
softened; how the French colonists
were won at last to look with COM
placency upon Spanish rule. A new
and fearful danger menaced Spain.
''The American War of Independ-
ence had turned loose upon the Mis-
sissippi Valley country a vast horde
of those adventurous men of the
North, hardy, resolute spirits, who
claimed possession of the greater part
of the valley of the Father of Waters
and who were coming into New Or
leans in larger and larger numbers,
and who were proclaiming openly
that the river should be opened to
commerce. These men paid the tar
if charges and the Spanish taxes with
i'll grace Some refused to pay and
bloodshed had resulted several times
when the officers of Spain sought to
carry out the laws. Thomas Jeffer-
son, prominent statesman of the
new nation known as the United
States of America, was declaring that
Louisiana was the only place on the
continent the possessor of which was
natural enemy of the United States
Only by the most careful handling of
the multitude of questions that were
arising and we're sure to develop later
on, Don Estevan knew could Spain
maintain its hold on Louisiana or
could avoid war with the United
States.
Don Estevan, like Padre Antoine,
acted with a fair amount of secrecy
and caution. One night, soon after
the monks visit to the palace, file
of soldiers wrapped with their mus
kets on the door of the cell in which
the good father was sleeping.
1T is very kind of Don Estevan,'
said the monk when he opened the
door, but tell his excellency l am
not ready to begin. You may return
with the blessing of God. l shall no.
tify Don Estevan when you are
needed
Padre Antoine was astounded
when informed that he was under ar
rest.
What be exclaimed, you dare
to arrest a commissioner of the In
QuisitiOn?'
'The captain in charge of the SOL
diers knew only one authority, Don
Estevan, and without any further
parley the Capuchin was taken out,
put into a boat, taken aboard ship
about to sail for Cadiz and, when the
sun arose, was on his way to Spain.
The same ship that carried Padre An
