Statehood, to watch the effect Of this
startling discovery upon the cere-
monies which are already in course
OF preparation for this celebration.
DIR. Mccarthy, the Knights of
Columbus Professor of American His
tory at the Catholic University, con-
tributes a noteworthy article on the
Attitude Of Spain during the Ameri-
can Revolution. This is without
doubt the first time Spanish aid in
our independence from England has
been given it's rightful place in
American history; and the readers of
the Review have in this article an
additional sharp weapon against the
attacks which have been made upon
Catholic loyalty and patriotism. Had
the Spanish Captain GalVez not sue
ceeded in driving the English out of
the Mississippi Valley in 1880, it is
impossible to predict what would have
been the future of the United States
without access to the West.
In his entcrtainingly written col
umns, Notes and Comment, DR..
Guilday gives us the benefit of one
of his original discoveries in the
Archives at Rome-tbe story of Felix
Dougherty, of Philadelphia, the first
American to be send to Propaganda
to prepare for the priesthood. DR..
delivered by Felix Dougherty, on
Pentecost Sunday, 1896, before Plus
VI, in the Sistine Chapel; !.
and he follows up Doughertys life
from his baptism in Philadelphia in
1774 to his return to America in 1891.
To create Catholic instincts of love
and veneration for the religious past
of our country is an ideal any scholar
or group Of scholars might we'll con-
slider fitting for a lite work. We are
the preservation of ali the materials
which will one day go to make UP the
history of the Catholic Church in this
country; and every one Interested in
this work of preservation must rejoice
at the excellent way in which this
group of Professors at the Catholic
University i'll succeeding in arousing
a countrywide interest III Catholic
history. The Catholic Historical
Review has begun its task with the
full appreciation of the difficulties it
would encounter, and from one end
of the United States to the other has
had a response far in advance Of
their most sanguine hopes. Their
success thus far is an indubitable
proof of the existence of the profound
love for American Catholic history
which has lain long while under
meath the surface of the material prog
ress Of the Church in the United
States.

CATHOLIC HISTORICAL REVIEW
A SUMMARY OF THE MORE I'M
PoRTANT ARTICLES IN THE
CURRENT ISSUE.

It is almost thirty years now, since
Archbishop Troy, of Dublin (1786-
1899, was charged by our great Cath
Ollie historian, John Culinary Shea,
with constant meddling in the eccle-
siastical affairs of the United States.
DR.. Troy's policy was not without some
unfortunate misrepresentation on his
part of the condition Of things in Ire
land; and from the traditions which
Shea has crystallized in his pages,
the eminent prelate seems also guilty
of an unwarrantcd interference in the
rise OF the hierarchy in this country
It is not pleasant thing for Irish
Catholics to read,-this story of his
alleged high-handed methods in the
appointment of the first Bishop of New
York, Richard Luke Concanen, and
Of the first Ordinances of Richmond
and Charleston, the latter of whom
was the celebrated Bishop England.
Any pen, which could throw light upon
this unsettled problem in our history,
would naturally find welcome in the
scholarly pages of the Catholic His
torical Review. And it is very
gratifying to read in Father O'Daniel's
article,-Concanen Election to the
See of New York 1808-10D, in the
current April issue of this new publ
cation, what amounts indeed to a
complete vindication of the. Dublin
metropolitan. AS Father O'Daniel
shows, beyond cavil, Dr. Troy had
not only no idea of his friends cleo
ton to New York, but had also had
no communication with Rome for
nearly ten years previously, owing to
the Napoleonic wars. Father
O'Daniels mastery biographical
study of New York's. first Bishop is
the second on this subject, and with
these researches before him, the
future ecclesiastical historian Of New
York will have definite and assured
statement of facts which will enable
him TO approach this problem of Irish
interference with far less prejudice
than has hitherto been possible
The leading article of the April
number will undoubtedly cause some
controversy. especially among those
who believe that Kansas was The
scene of Father Padilla's martyrdon
in 1912; but Father Michael Shine has
proven conclusively from the origina
sources themselves that the famous
Lost Province of Quiyira was il
reality in Nebraska and not in Kan
sas. It will be interesting, in view d
| the coming centenary Of Nebraska

middle place, there remained the word
"Nezoraios,1 IN the third line was
"Nezarenus," and the two first letters
of the word Rex
A remarkable feature of the Greek
and Latin Inscriptions is shat they
were written from right to left. This,
as every one knows, is the usual way
of writing Hebrew, and it is supposed
that the same method was adopted
with the Greek and Latin, in order
to have the words correspond.

lied to direct the liquidation OF the

hope that the committee will begin
the actual liquidation soon. The UNI
secured creditors are anxious to know
what requirements will be made OF
them by the creditors committee.
Later the plans will be printed and
distributed among the unsecured cred.
itors.
Unsecured creditors say that the In.
terest and taxes on Thompson's hold
ings amount to about s2,177, 500 a year.

Thompson holdings by Julian Kennedy

land. at an average price OF $3.50 an
acre.
Should the creditors committee be
successful in selling 10000 acres
yearly, all of the Thompson coal hold.
ings would be disposed OF in 10 years,
and would yield less than S1S,000,000
above the yearly carrying charges for
distribution among the creditors.
The secured claims against Thomp-
son amount to $2U,0o0,000, and the un.
secured claims, s14,50O,o00. According
