Know-Nothings OF Long Ago
(By James A. Rooney, LL.D1

(By James A. Rooney, LL.D)
Are we Catholics not making just a
little too much of certain unspeak-
able publication that is getting thou
sands of dollars worth of free adver-
Using in our Catholic papers? Per-
sonally 1 have never seen nor have 1
received through the mails or other
wise a copy of the vile output, but l
have several good Catholic friends
who, noting mention of it in our do
cesar papers, have sent and paid for a
copy through sheer curiosity to see
what it is like. And are we not max

space to certain anti-C catholic organ.

who are now practically extinct, and
having lived their brief day of vituper-
alton and outrage against the Church
and everything Catholic, have died
the death such organizations, often
sive even to decent Protestants, must
die.
The recent abortive attempt of one
of our modern anti-Catholic organiza-
tions to prevent the celebration of the
annual field Mass in New York Navy
Yard on Memorial Sunday and the in
tangible influence they exerted on the
authorities, State and national, pre-
sent striking contrast to the open
and successful antagonism of the
Know Nothings of old and the awe
they inspired among Catholics as we'll
as on public officials while perpetrat-
ing their lawless acts. In the days
referred to the Know Nothings were

to-day, and against which our peace
loving, law-abiding Protestant fellow
citizens would be among the first to
protest.
What would these Protestant fellow
citizens of ours and the American pub
lie think and what would they do if a
distinguished Catholic visitor to our
shores were subjected to-day to the
treatment extended, for instance, to
Archbishop Cajetan Bedini, Apostolic
Nuncio to Brazil, when as a represent
alive of the Holy Father, he arrived in
New York June 80, 1853, as noted in
our Catholic Chronology. During his
stay in the country of more than half
year he was subjected to the gross
est insult and continuous persecution
and was even Threatened with assas-

TELLING THE TREE BY ITS FRUIT


There is no more convincing proof
of the quality of a persons religion
than the course of conduct he follows,
An eminent American prelate once
wrote: eff you want to know the
value of mans religion, do business
with him" But there is distinction
to be made between the value of the
religion itself and its value to the pos.
SCISSOR of 1t. 1t is certainly hard to
comprehend how anyone knowing and
protesting the actual truth of Catho.
licity should ever fall short of upright
conduct. When such one fails to act
right 1t Is not the fault of his religion
but of himself. The only reason that
he fails is because he does not get the
value that he should out of his religion.
His religion is full of value. The lack
of value is in himself. There is no
more binding Christian duty than that
of acting up to the faith protested and
of having 1t perfect and purify the
character ever more and more. When
this is done consistently and perpetu-
ally, a course of conduct will ensue
that will be the rarest fruit of Chris
tian living. Our actions must acquire
the character Of our principles. They
must illustrate what is right. We
must be known as good by what we
do. We have the solemn duty of pro-
ducing good fruit by upright conduct.

sors down through the ages.
From the East to the West, and
from North to South, the bearers OF
the Gospel have journeyed, until to.
day they are dispersed over the whole
universe. Speaking all tongues, they
rec1te only one doctrine; respecting
all forms of governments, they have
only one spiritual Chief-him who is
the legitimate successor of st. Peter.
How many apostles has the Cath.

Records give an exact answer. On

PAPALIzlNe SAN FRANCISCO.

PAPALIzING SAN FRANCISCO.
''The American Citizen" an A. P. A.
organ is much wrought up over the
action of the San Francisco Fair au-
thorities in scratching the name of
the Patriotic League Voters" from
their calling list. They are out with
the demand to force the restoration
Of their day at the Fair. 1t will be
remembered that the plan of the Pa
triotic League to make San Francisco
the great rallying point for the bigots
during the summer, was thwarted by
the authorities when they realized
that it was serious mistake to al
low an organization whose sole pur-
pose was to malign the good Cath
olics of San Francisco and the coun-
try to hold a meeting in the exhibit
ton. The A. P. AS have determined
on a boycott; they declare that Rome
must not be let win in the case. The
date of the bigot's convention has
been cancelled. Their exclamation
Is that the exposition has been papal-
lied.
Recently the number Of special
guards were reduced at the Fair
Grounds, and among those dismissed
were some of the bigots. This &C.
ton again seriously provoked the Pa
triottc League, who learned that the
Chief of Police, who was called upon
to furnish patrol men for the Fair
Grounds, is Catholic, and a Knight
of Columbus.
All these things coming at one
time seriously offended the Patriotic
League; made them realize that their
much ado about nothing" has neither
been able to produce results for them
selves, or hinder the success of the
San Francisco Exhibition.

from city to city, delivering addresses
OF the standard Know Nothing type to
lnname his hearers against the Church
and to provoke them to acts of vio-
lence. There was nothing secret
about the methods of the Know Moth
lngs; they had the public authorities
intimidated and they held their meet
ings In New York in the public
squares and on the City Hall steps.
They got SO bold that the sturdy
Archbishop of New York warned his
people to be careful to avoid even
the appearance of offense in measures
That might lead to a collision" But he
oy no means counselled a cowardly
submission to insult or illegal acts,
for he concluded his circular by say
ing: But if in spite of your forbear-
ance, should 1t come, then it will be
lawful for you to prove yourselves
worthy of the rights of citizenship
with which you are invested, by no.
BILE defence of your property, as the
same is declared by the laws of your
country"
The most violent outbreak occurred
in Cincinnati. On Christmas Day of
1853, Archbishop Bedini was the
guest of Archbishop Purcell and Off
ciated at the Cathedral. "That night"
to quote the New York Herald of Dec.
20, 1853, "the mob, 600 strong, planned
an attack on the Cathedral and armed
with clubs, knives, swords and pistols
marched towards the residence where
the Archbishop was staying, some
with torches to set fire to the Cathe-
dral and with ropes with which to
hang the Nuncio." The police, how
ever, had been warned of the contem.
plated attack and they broke up the
procession and arrested fifty of the
rioters. But SO powerful was the
Know Nothing political influence that
the prisoners were let off and the DO
lice who did their duty were repri-
manded and discharged from the
force.
The license permitted the Know
Nothing mobs throughout the country
kept alive the anti-Catholic agitation
in New York to such a pitch that
when Archbishop Bedini was prepar-
ing to take his departure, by the ad-
vice of the city authorities who feared
riot and their own ability to pre-
vent it, he kept in retirement and
boarded his steamer on which he
sailed from the "land of the free and
the home of the brave" from a pri-
vately hired tug boat which took him
to the vessel off Staten Island.
Would anyone deem it within the
bounds of possibility today for any
anti-Catholic organization to success
fully attempt any such proceedings.
They have no influence and no stand
ing against an intelligent public opin-
ion? Then why dignity the atom by
magnifying it? They are only making
a little noise. Vox ct preterea nihil.

They found that the waters had been
dashed into such terrible state that
huge whales were lying upon the

who remember this terrible wind say
