But while / knew that Lucien johnson was

themselves would so soon proUe ii on him.
You will see from the circular that the
negro priest advertised to preach in the
suburbs of Mobile, is to preach to the qOhites,
as well as to the blacks.
1t is but a step from preaching to the
whites, to hearing the confessions of whites.
He has as much right to do the one, as to do
the other.
Isn't it enough to make your flesh creep to
think of negro man exercising the priestly
right to ask a a0hate q0ife aohat takes place
6etaoeem her husband and herself, in the
sacred bed of lawful wedlock?
Can you imagine deadlier danger to NOR
ais, than to admit negro men into the priest
hood, when the inmates of clustered converts
are taught that the priest cannot sin? That
to yield to him, is a sacrifice acceptable to
God?
Suppose negro man were to go around, in
the South, preaching Mo7monasn2, what would
our Catholic neighbors think of it?
Mormonisn is bad enough, Heaven knows
but popery is the worst of all things.
Much as [ antagonist the extreme tenets
of the extreme socialists, [ am bound to say
that Socialism could never sink our country
and our civilization to such profound depths
of degradation as p0pery azooays has done,
when the priests ruled both the Church and
the State.

We are not told what the Saint meant to
do with the fishes after he had converted
them. Possibly, he meant that each should
become a foreign missionary, and repeat the

Brother Norris, let me give you a piece of
advice:
Use your own common sense. fearlessIy, on

Guilty Of Smuggling Con-
spiracy in Court.

His Brother, Both M Whom Pay
$4,000 Fines-lllncss Taken into
Consideration by Court.

New, York. Feb. 4.AFormer Con-
gresham Lucius N. Littauer and his
brother, William. were fined $4,000
each and sentenced to six months in
jail for smuggling. The court, how
ever. suspended the Jail sentence but
severely arraigned both the defend
ants and declared the fact that Lucius
served ten years In congress, and a
Glove manufacturer had benefited by
the protective tariff, aggravated, rath-
er than mitigated, their soffenses.
Judge Thomas, in suspending the
jail sentences, warned the offenders
that this would not be his policy in
the future.
IF any distinction Is to be made,
said Judge Thomas, sit appeals to
me that It should be in favor Of the
uneducated person. For an ex-con-
gressman so far to forget his oath
taken flve times, and knowing SO we'll
the provisions OF laws he. helped
frame. seems to me incomRrehensi-
Bile.
I'm cases like this the humiliation
must he punishment enough for the
Individual. but 1t will not serve for
others similarity inclined. Money
penalty Is no punishment at all for
those unable to pay, 1t is a traveety
on 'ustice.'
The 'ndee added that the fact that
the defendants pleaded guilty, made
full restitution of civil liability by the
payment to the government Of $14.-
900. and also the i'll health Of LuciWa
Littauer. had heen taken into consid-
GRAFTON in dealing with them.
