And they are now bombarding the Govern
nacat to compel 1t 70 DESTROY the LIB
ERTl' or THE PRESS.
You can tell all the truth you know on the
Baptist church, and no Baptist will mind it,
You can publish all the truth you know on
any other non popish church, without getting
into trouble
But you must not publish anything against
Italian popery, whether true, or not.
1t you say that their priests make God out
Of bread, and that the priests then breaks up
this Cod, for the kneeling Catholics to eat it
makes them all furlously angry.
Why so? That's exactly what they say they
do
Ii You tell of any other childish superstition
that popcly imposes on grown men and
women, they kick up an awful racket
Why so! Ii groWD-ups want to continue to
believe IN Santa Claus, why should they lose
their tempers when I laugh at them?
If the bloated priests can make sensible, So
bcr men believe that the witches ride the
horses at night, and that the only way to put
Il stop to it, is by paying the priest to pray to
Saint Whoop-a-D iddle, where's the harm of

Dear Sir: In reply to your letter of the 5th
inst, have again looked for the article on
heretics about which received inquiry some
days ago. and find that i'm the Thrice-A-Week
World, of November 4, 1895, there appeared am
article headed, !'TEN HERETICS BURNED" 1t
first appeared in the daily World, Sunday, Novem-
Der g. 1895.
Our reply to our other inquirer was correct.

I'm the Year of 1895, The Catholic
Priests Were Burning Men,
Women and Children
IEa Mexico.

- lished the names of Mexicans who were
burned to death at Texacapa, at the instig}-
ton Of Catholic priests, after they had been
tried under papal law and found guilty Of the
capital crime Of not being Catholics
This horrible deed was done in 1895, while
Diaz was Dictator of Mexico, and while his
bigoted young wife, ruled by her confes5or,
was dictator of Diaz.
The facts were reported in the New York
World, and [ made note Of them for future
use.
Recently the course of events has brought
the Romanist issue rapidly to the front, and
the popish phase of the Mexican question is
particularly acute.
Therefore, + used the facts that had been
jottcd down in the old scrap-book.
A friend of ours in the Northwest showed
the editorial to friend "a Catholic presuma-
Bly, and this gentleman wrote to the New
\ ork World, inquiring whether such an item
of news had been published.
The World wrote that the paper for Nov.
5, 1895. had been searched, and the item could
not be found
OF course the Catholic thought he had me
In hole, and Of course my friend out there
was embarrassed.
But | wrote to the World myself, stating
that the item must be there. else never would
have made that memorandum in the old scrap
book
My character for truth was at stake, and
| urged the World to make careful
search.
Within a few days came the reply which is
given in full.
The item was found, in the Sunday World
of Nov. 3, and in the Thricc-n- WceA World
Of Nov. 4th. (By some unaccountabe mis-
take, the date appears In my scrap-booll as
Nov 81
Now consider the bearing of those facts on
present conditions in Mexico.
In 1895, the devilish Spanish priests 2rcro
burning Merican8 to de01h, for not being
Catholics.
Have Villa and Carranza burned any
priests to death for being priests?
Have Villa and Carranza burned any nuns
to death for being nuns?
Have the Masons caught up men. women
and children in Mexico, and tied them to the
stake, and set fire to them. because they were
not Masons?
Cardinal Gibbons knew of the doings of
the Mexican priests in 1895,
Did he protest and howl?
No. Why not? Because the lar Of I10I;an
p0pery cni05mS ~pon Catholics The duty Of
p2ttting nom Catholics TO death.
Cardinal Farley was the head Of the New
York Catholics in 1895. Just as the boated
brute, O'Connell, was the head of the Boston
Catholics although they were not ''Princes,7
then.
Did Farley and O'Connell make any noise
about the Mexican "outrages" in 1895? No.
indeed.
1t was strictly popish for the devilish Span
ish priests to burn Mexican men, Mexican
women and Mexican child, as q punishment
for net being Catholics. but it is inhuman for
the MeXicans to resent it and drive the
devilish priests out
