his letter of March 81, complained
that employers do not treat their help
justly. Tenants may make the same
kind of complaints. Interview the
thousands of tenants in Chicago and
you will hear many story of petty
tyranny and denial of justice on the
part of the landlords.
The fact is that there can be no
equity in a forced business relation,
when one of the parties is financially
weaker than the other. We see ex-
emplifcations of this in the relations
between employers and tn employed,
landlords and tenants.

REPLY TO FERGUSON.

]. T. Ferguson decries the injection of
religion in politics because it contra
venes with our national constitution.
But after assimilating his narrative
it seems to me the chief concern to
our correspondent is the fact that a
Catholic holds Office, and if too many
are indicted into Office that, of
course, collides with our constitution.
Does Mr.. Ferguson know that the
constitution of the U. S. DEGREES that
every citizen shall have the unim-
peachable prerogative and freedom to
practice his religion regardless of his
sect? That there is no amendment
clause prohibiting Catholic from
ascending to a public Office? That
when he exhibits such a discriminat-
ing spirit against Catholicism and
moves to incite insurgency against
this sect he violates that section of
the constitution referred to above?
He intimates that when a religious
denomination assumes proportion
of Vastness the people in general
should initiate against it. Then we
are to infer that any nation, COM
monwealth, corporation, family or
individual elevating too highly should
be opposed so that it's progress be ar
rested. If this were the case, what
q pitiable world this would be-?

He concludes his articles by assail-
ing citizens who fail to send their
children to public schools. And he
would disfranchise any voter who
fails to do so. Obviously he purpos-
es to adopt a constitution of anti
Catholicism. wonder if he pauses
to consider what an extra burden
would befall the taxpayers if they
were constrained to educate the thou
sands of children now attending pa
rochial schools And the knowledge
CLEANED there is not to be disparaged.
And the religious training received in
conjunction with other studies is a
golden asset. A God-fearing man is
a benefit to the community and not a
detriment. The Catholic church and
its devout adherents do not incline to
interfere with other sects, not alone
the governments, and they do not
wish to brook interference.
Because one or certain group of
Catholics who ascend to political Of
fees prove recreant las is the case
with persons of other denomina-
tions), the Catholic church, its fun
damental principles and its devout
adherents should not be the subject
of an unjust TRADE. Bigouy should
be relegated to oblivion. - John A.
