Seymour, M(ary) A(lice):
(Germantown, Pennsylvania)
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Mrs. Jameson and other protestant art critics insist upon the fact that Raphael painted curtains on the canvas to give it pyramidal form, but Seymour says the picture was painted for Pope Sixtus, but it was the Vision of St. Barbara, which Raphael painted. Three years ago, Seymour wrote a serial for the St. Nicholas. It was considered too Romanish. Last year Seymour tried to find a Catholic publisher to publish it in book form, but they said they had no call for such books that their Catholic readers preferred buying art and musical stories from protestant publishers. She would like to send Hudson the first six and last three chapters, and if it would do for the Ave Maria, she might later publish it in book form afterwards.

O'Brien has just read McMaster's article, "Why the Irish Should Not Emigrate" and agrees with the opinions expressed in it. He has just returned from a trip in the South. While in Arkansas he found a town wherein people by the names of O'Brien, Welsh, and McCaffney, were Presbyterians instead of Catholics. In one place a Methodist Conference was held listing members by the names of Flanagan, Reilly, Ryan, and Hughes. In Hot Springs, Arkansas there are 5 newspaper establishments, one of them in the Arlington Hotel being conducted by a certain Murphy, but none of them offer a single Catholic newspaper for sale except the Irish World. This Murphy along with others, is from Memphis, Tenn(essee) but none of them are Catholics. O'Brien joins readily in exhorting the priests of Ireland to keep the Irish at home.

Kraus, Father F(rancis) X(avier):

to James A(lphonsus) McMaster:
(New York, New York)
In the last issue of the Freeman's Journal McMaster said the Archbishop of Baltimore is not primate of the United States. He is not primate in the sense in which Ireland has a primate. But his prerogative before the other American metropolitans cannot be denied. In "Acta et Decreta Concilii Baltimorensis II" of 1866, Kraus finds on pages 307-308 in the Appendix (Footnote in pencil in another hand: " paging of amended edition. An edition of 1868 is on page 343 numero XXXI) On the prerogative of place granted the See of Baltimore in an audience held July 25, 1858. He quotes the principal words: The most eminent and most reverend (Bishops) of the holy council have decided to grant a prerogative of place to the See of Baltimore so that in any Councils and assemblies the Archbishop of Baltimore may be granted for the present time precedence and principal place in sitting above any (quosvis) Archbishops of these provinces, whoever (si qui) may be present, there being no reason for promotion or ordination (ordinatio). Pius IX in an audience held July 25 of this year (1858) benificently approved this position of the Council and ordered the present decree be put in operation. So much for Baltimore. Respects.

Macmanus, F. E.:
Corpus Christi, Texas
to James A(lphonsus) McMaster:
New York, (New York)
In a letter marked "Private and Personal", Macmanus explains his delay in writing. He is delighted over the promotion of Bishop (D.) Manucy to Mobile, where he will find a more congenial field——for he was wholly out of place (in Corpus Christi). McManus does not know who will be the successor, but has a suggestion. Somewhere in the diocese of Lyons, France, in a monastery, is a priest named F(ather) Pierre de St. Jean, who was parish priest here before the Bishop's coming. He could do more than any other in spreading Catholicity throughout the region; it is owing to him that there is any spark of Catholic life left in a section dominated by infidel Jews and by money idolators masquerading under the name of Catholics, attending Mass, paying dues, but being all things to all men. F(athe)r St. Jean is a pious, wise, and discreet man with a broad knowledge of men and things. He remained for three or four years after the Bishop's arrival, giving up his own house to the Bishop, and remaining to keep order. He returned to France and probably had some misunderstanding with his family, shortly after which he retired to a monastery. Everything he has been writing about F(athe)r St. Jean, whom he loved dearly, is the truth. F(athe)r St. Jean left three years ago and has not been heard of, but a small legacy was left him nevertheless by a former parishioner. In political matters, Macmanus describes himself as an interested looker-on in the contest over the Brownsville Collectorship, in which a common, coarse, illiterate booby. John L Haynes, was permitted to defy the authority of Judge Folger. Haynes had previously compared the installation of the Bishop (Manuoy) to dancing the "bolero" at a "fandango". His term will expire shortly; Macmanus wonders if he could not be replaced by a Catholic. Mcmanus and his friends were pained during the Brownsville Collectorship contest that Eugene Kelly of New York supported Haynes' adjutant Calvin G. Brewster. If Kelly had known as much about the Rio Grande smugglers as Macmanus knows, he should not have joined them. Brewster is a cowboy with the rough edges rubbed off. Kelly, however, has been looked up to by all as a Catholic gentleman who was successful by honorable methods. Macmanus hopes the cost of Kelly's finding out the truth will not be too great. The Catholics in the region outnumber the Know-nothings by three to one, but count as a mere cipher because of the compact organization of their opponents. Occasionally a liberal and feeble Catholic is taken up by the opponents and publicized merely as a matter of policy. The only exception of which Macmanus knows is his friend J.B. Murphy, who was elected Mayor of the city, although the Catholics number 300 voters to the opponents 80. Macmanus would like a part in the campaign of the year, and believes a friendly hint from McMaster to one of the managers would be of help. He despises offices and office-holding, but he would like to earn the Brownsville Collectorship. He begs McMaster not to be angry with him for writing so long a letter. P.S. He asks that the "Freeman's Journal" be sent to Brownsville as well as Corpus Christi. He is going to Brownsville in a few days and cannot be without the paper.

(Seton), Harry:
Fort Spokane, W(ashington) T(erritory)
to Monsignor Robert (Seton:
Jersey City, New Jersey)
He received Robert's present of books two evenings ago, and the letter of the 1st last night. The fort is situated on the confines of civilization: beyond it is nothing until you reach the British provinces 140 miles to the north. If Father (Urban) Grassi, (S.J.) ever gets this far Henry will make him a most welcome guest. He is anxious to hear from Emmitsburg as the papers say that area has been visited by severe earthquake shocks. With God's good grace, he hopes to come east in 18 months. It is time that Jack (John Foster Seton) was thinking of turning his hand to something as he is still backward in his studies.

to Richard H(enry) Clarke:
(New York, New York)
Shea is glad that Clarke is encouraged to continue the Lives. They will have to get together to see if Shea can help Clarke. The affair yesterday went off; but Shea sees nothing to prevent a spontaneous tribute by some of the half million Catholics of the diocese. A medal with the head of Cardinal (John McCloskey) on one side and the cathedral on the other could be gotten up for $250; copies can be made for others. He suggests a simple legend for it.

Tardivel, J(ules) P(aul):
Quebec, (Quebec)
to James A(lphonsus) McMaster:
(New York, New York)
In answer to McMaster's letter of Jan. 6, Tardivel sends the brochure asked for and hopes McMaster received it. He heartily wishes that McMaster would "meddle" in their affairs since it may be of some help in extricating them from the mire into which liberal and Masonic intrigues have placed them. It may even be a duty in charity for McMaster to write something which will be read in Rome and which may be instrumental in curbing a state of affairs which threatens to ruin the cause of religion in this once, most Catholic country. There are several difficult points in the question which McMaster may not understand. Catholic liberalism is strange mental disease peculiar to Latin races, and the thoroughly Latin inhabitants of Lower Canada are affected by French Liberalism. This liberalism varies from the vagaries of M(onsi)g(no)r Dupanloup and M. de Falloux, to the aggressive hate of Gambetta, Jules Terry and Paul Bert. Certain Cardinals of the Propaganda, deceived by the confusion raised by the Canadian Liberals, make the mistake of assimilating the liberalism of Lower Canada to that of the so-called Liberal Party in England and the so-called Reform Party of the Dominion. This deplorable confusion makes strangers believe that they are carrying on nothing but a political party warfare whereas the Reform Party, also called liberal, has nothing to do with the Lower Canadian liberalism, which has invaded not only the Liberal Party of the province but the Conservative Party as well. Quebec enjoys the privilege of home rule and since the great majority of the population is Catholic, the province is goverened according to Catholic doctrine, but nevertheless, those papers which speak of the danger of Protestant persecutions are uttering falsehoods. The protestant minority is, and will be allowed to enjoy their present privileges such as separate schools. Under the pretense of avoiding persecution we are drifting into political atheism. It may also be enlightening to McMaster to know that Quebec possesses a nest of liberal priests, some belonging to Dupanloup's school and others who are more advanced. From their strong hold in the Seminary of Quebec and Laval University, they exert a tyrannical sway over the Archbishop and his conferees, and encourage the lay liberals in the war on everything that is not tainted with liberalism. Monsigneur Zitelli is their confederate in the (College of) Propaganda in Rome and he uses his intrigues to obtain from the unsuspecting and pious Cardinal Simeoni, decrees which are based upon facts of their own creation and which only confuse existing conditions even more. In September, 1875, the Bishops issued a joint Pastoral condemning Catholic Liberalism, and when it was praised by Pope Pius IX, the Quebec ecclesiasticals at once attempted to have it set aside. Cardinal Franchi, then Prefect of the Propaganda and a staunch friend of the Liberals, sent out Bishop Courey in 1876 to have the Bishops counteract their former statement. This move was successful and resulted in a new Pastoral being signed in October, 1876, but since then the Bishops have been divided amongst themselves and conditions have gone from bad to worse. Bishop (Ignatius) Bourget, (of Montreal), and Bishop (L.F.) Lafleche, (of Three Rivers) have held fast to the teachings of the Church on liberalism But the former was forced to resign and the latter has had his poor and small diocese almost cut in two by the forgery of his enemies. Difficulties have arisen from the persistency of Laval (University) in not allowing Montreal to have a separate university and in only allowing the Diocese of Montreal to have a branch of the liberal institution in Quebec. Laval (University) undertook to destroy the Montreal University of Medicine founded by Bishop Bourget because it coveted the success of the school and forced the Bishops of Montreal, St. Hyacinth, and Sherbrooke, to excommunicate the professors and students of the school. This scandal raised such a protest that Cardinal Simeoni became alarmed, and telegraphed Bishop Bourget of Montreal, ordering him to suspend everything. The intriguers then had M(onsi)g(no)r Smeulders sent to Rome to patch up things so as to save Laval (University) and her confederates. Bishop Lafleche obtained the Holy Father's assurance that M(onsi)g(no)r Smeulders would inquire into only two or three points. A petition was then signed throughout the province asking him to investigate everything, but the liberals accused the petitioners of rebelling against the Pope, and the Reverend H. Lejare's sermon was supposed to stifle all efforts at investigation. But the outcry in the liberal press, I'Electeur, le Canadien, and others, against the brochure on Freemasonry showed that not all was well. He asks McMaster to forgive his long letter. He hopes McMaster will be interested, and will help him. If McMaster needs further information, he will furnish it gladly.

Dorsey is now well on with her story for the Ave Maria. She will need over $100.

Dorsey prophesies as to the future of many European countries; among them are Spain, Italy and Germany. Dorsey feels that Mgsr. Capel is a worldly priest. His methods of winning sheep are new indeed. Many question him as to his faith. He is genial and his answers are very reasonable and logical. He is winning many to inquire into the truths that he points out.

Carrier, C.S.C., Father Jos(eph) C.:
Montreal, (Canada)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Carrier speaks of two errors that appeared in the Ave Maria concerning Lasserre's latest work. Carrier requests that the letter be handed to Father (John) Toohey whom he believes to be the translator of Lassere's work. Toohey's translation of the "Wonders of Lourdes" was far superior to the wretched attempts made by the Baltimore Mirror.

By the letters McMaster encloses the addresses will see that Richard A. Clarke, who has vowed he will run the projected Cath(olic) Hist(orical) Society, has caused Dr. (John Gilmory) Shea to be crowded out. Clarke is an ass, and the Hist(orical) Cath(olic) Soc(iety) will prove a humbug, out of the which Clarke perhaps hopes to get some money as well as a clerkship for his stupid son, the ex-Jesuit scholar. McMaster sends this as private information. He will take an early occasion to explode the humbug in the Freeman, but will have nothing else to do with the project. (A note at the top of the letter instructs the addressee to return Clarke's letters.) (First draft of letter, in McMaster's handwriting)

Decker, (Father) M.J.:
Erie, P(ennsylvani)a
to (James Alphonsus McMaster):
New York, (New York)
(Father) Decker says that in the Jan. 26 Freeman's Journal he found an incorrect statement which he wishes to correct in the interest of the Alumni of the Secular Clergy of St. Vincent's Abbey. Under the heading "Credit to Whom Credit Is Due," the "Freeman's Journal" had held the Lake Shore "Visitor" mistaken in giving Messrs. Benziger credit for having made the Crozier and pectoral cross presented to (Rt. Rev) Arch-Abbot (Boniface) Winner (C.S.B.) on his Jubilee, (Father) Decker states that the "Visitor". was not mistaken, for it did not say the crozier was made by Benziger Bros., The pectoral cross of which the "Visitor" speaks was not the one made by F.X. Dutzenberg, of Crefeld, which was ordered by (Father) Michael) Hofmayr (of Allegheny, Pa.) on behalf of the monks subject to Arch-Abbot Winner, and has neither diamonds nor amethysts, is not of gold, and has no gold chain. The cross presented to the Jubilarian was altogether different. There were two pectoral crosses. The credit given by the "Visitor" to Benziger Bros. was in its right place, for (Father) Decker ordered the Alumni cross himself. (He encloses a clipping from the Lake Shore "Visitor", in which) in a letter written by him to the "Visitor", dated Erie, Jan. 26, 1884, he states that the pectoral cross and ring presented to Arch-Abbot Winner on his Golden Monastic Jubilee were not manufactured by F.X. Dutzenburgh, of Crefeld, nor purchased from Messrs. Fuchs Bros, but were manufactured by and purchased from Messrs. Benziger Bros. By way of proof (Father) Decker holds the receipt of Benziger Bros. for the articles in question. If any other such articles were presented to the Arch-Abbot, the Alumni of St. Vincents had nothing to do with and knew nothing of the presentation. The Lake Shore "Visitor", in commenting on the letter, states that the New York "Freeman's Journal" did not make the correct inference, and the "Visitor" in the first instance gave credit where credit was due.

Hiplius, (Father) Edw(ar)d:
Averill Park, New York
to (James Alphonsus McMaster):
New York, (New York)
In a letter marked "Private" (Father) Hiplius explains he has been asked by his friend Father (M.J.) Decker of Erie, (Pennsylvania) to answer a statement published in the "Freeman's Journal" of Jan(uary) 26, 1884, page 5, column 2. He asks that his communique be inserted in the next issue, since it is designed to correct the erroneous statement which is calculated to reflect on (Father) Decker who was secretary and Treasurer of the Alumni. The cross which was furnished by Dutzenberg is not half so valuable, materially and otherwise, as the one made by Benziger's and Father Decker would appear in a queer light if the statement ascribing the cross to Fuchs Bros. were not corrected.

(Richardson) Muir, Marion:
Morrison, (Colorado)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Muir expresses regret over the bitter way that she spoke to Hudson recently. If all Catholics were like Notre Dame people then her opinions would undoubtedly be different. Muir says that in her youth the superstitions of the Church cut her off from marriage. Its counsels were ruled by men without feeling for women. She speaks of her disappointing love affair. Her Catholic friends helped her in time of need. Muir thinks very highly of Notre Dame men. They are king and thoughtful even when you disagree with them. One Catholic man would have shared a fortune with her. In spite of everything, she is very grateful to Hudson for his kind aid.

Muir thanks Hudson for the "Life of Haydn" that he sent to her. Miss. (Eleanor) Donnelly, she feels, may have good intentions in her writings but Muir feels that she has gone amiss. She thinks that American Catholicity cannot grow into stabilization until we have priests who are "white men." By that she means they must be brought up in America, and not under foreign despotisms. Muir feels that the cross no longer holds the power that it once held. She thinks that it is the day of the Spirit that Christ himself foretold would come. She remarks that she is only saying what she thinks and that a mistake is possible.

She thanks Hudson for the "Life of Haydn." She is glad he has taken Gill (and Co.) for his agent. She is now empowered to offer Hudson on the part of Dr. John Baptist Guidi, a translation of his work, "Berufung einer jungen Protestantin." Dr. Guidi is now secretary to the Nuncio in Lisbon, Monsignor (Vincenzo) Vannutelli, and accompanied him in a visit paid to their convent. He knew many places and people Sister knew and finally asked her to translate the book. Guidi offers the book and also most interesting letters which his brother, (Father J. Guidi, S.J.), writes of his missions in the Rocky Mountains. Dr. Guidi accompanied Vannutelli to Russia; the fear and constraint is intolerable to a foreigner. One of their Fathers, Dominican, will revise the book as she writes. This delays "Olderico." Sister wishes some one would translate "Frei Luiz de Souza." It is founded on fact: D. Magdalena de Vilhena become a nun in the Sacramento Dominican Convent in Lisbon; D. Manoele became a monk in the same order. He published the "Lives of the Saints of the Dominican Order."
