O'Rourke, Father W(illiam) F. M.:
Cincinnati, Chio
to Henry F. Brownson:
Detroit, Mich(igan)
Father O'Rourke orders the 20 volumes of Brown son's Works in cloth and asks about freight and payment and whether these volumes contain all of (Dr. Orestes A.) Brownson's writings from the time he ceased his Review in 1864, until he resumed it in 1873, and from 1876 to his death, much of which he wrote for different publications and did not attach his name. Father O'Rourke has been a priest for nearly a quarter of a century and has spent most of his spare time in the study of philosophy and theology and even now knows nothing; but he thinks Dr. Brownson the greatest man that ever lived, at least for him personally. He longed to see him and to ask him about six questions which give him great difficulty. One pertains to the question of "thought" in his "Essay on Atheism", and he can find no answer, not even in Father DeConcilio's "Pantheism". He prays for Brownson and remembers him at Mass.

Paris, (France)
to Father Dan(ie)l E. Hudson, C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Yesterday Stace reported to the Commissioner General. The sea voyage did not appear to do Stace much good. The cold winds of England and travel on the English and French railroads did him harm. Paris seems to agree with Stace. He asks Hudson to tell Father (Alexander) Kirsch that he hasn't presented his letter of introduction yet, because he is not well enough to visit. The churches of Paris are beautiful, but the Cathedral is not as large as he expected to find it.

At first Sorin was not clear about the approbation (of the rules of the Sisters of Holy Cross) but now he sees better. Father (Thomas E.) Walsh (C.S.C.) made a great speech in town on the 30th. Brother Felix has charge of giving the boys the books from the library. Bishop (Caspar H.) Borgess (of Detroit) visited Notre Dame for a few days.

Janssens, F(rancis), Archbishop of New Orleans:
New Orleans, L(ouisian)a
to (Henry F. Brownson):
(Detroit, Michigan)
The Archbishop thanks Brownson for his good wishes and is sorry that he cannot come and talk about old times. In regard to the proposed Congress the Archbishop suggests that a protest against spoilation of Rome would do little good for the Holly Father and would increase the Prejudice of the Protestant American people. This he knows to be the general feeling among the Bishops and of (James) Cardinal (Gibbons). Also the suggests that since the Public school question is ill understood among non-Catholics and would arouse strong feelings, he believes it is the sentiment of the Bishops and Cardinal to leave this question to the quiet agitation in each diocese, since circumstances differ vastly and cannot be discussed and handled in the same manner in each diocese. What is good for one might be detrimental for another. However, he will speaks to the Cardinal, thought he is convinced that these are his sentiments. However, in his opinion, a Catholic Congress would be beneficial, provided a program be selected which in moderation and prudence would discuss these burning question.

The Cardinal wished to know all about the University of Notre Dame, He expressed his astonishment on learning the size of the place, the student body and the faculty. Manning offered Edwards free access to the Westminster Archives and gave cards of introduction to several ecclesiastics of position. He spoke freely about the injustice of England in her relations with the Irish. Edwards visited Lulworth Castle and its chapel where Archbishop (John) Carroll was consecrated father of the American episcopacy. The Welds received him most cordially.

In Father Van der Eerden's letter to Archbishop (Francis Janssens) of New Orleans, requesting him to write to (James) Cardinal (Gibbons) about the Catholic Congress, he suggested that the temporal power of the Pope and the education question might be good subjects. In reply the Archbishop opposes a protest against the spoliation of Rome and discussion of the public school question, but approves the idea of a Catholic Congress if a program is selected to discuss the burning questions with moderation and prudence. Father van der Eerden thinks this answer very encouraging, and will try to speak to (William J.) Onahan on the subject before he leaves Chicago.

Hewit, C.S.P., Father Aug(ustine) F.:
New York, (New York)
to (Henry F.) Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Father Hewit has received Brownson's letter with the consideration its importance deserves. A congress of all English-speaking parts of the Catholic World was announced some time ago under the auspices of (Henry Edward) Cardinal Manning, but it seems to be given up. Perhaps an American Congress would be a good thing if undertaken under the sanction and direction of the hierarchy, although priests and laymen might take the most active part in its management. He believes in an active participation but that independent action even of the clergy would be dangerous, especially in this country. Several bishops, especially Archbishop (John) Ireland and Bishops (John L.) Spaulding and (John J.) Kenae, would be likely to take an interest, and the approbation of (James) Cardinal (Gibbons) should be secured. A committee of preparation of a dozen or more distinguished clergy and laymen to arrange everything orderly beforehand would be necessary. He cannot engage in anything requiring exertion and there are none of his. Congregation to whom he would entrust the work of taking the initiative. They are entirely subject to their Archbishop and cannot act autonomously. Besides, no religious society should be given particular prominence, and the clergy who take part should do so simply as such, associated with lay-men an equal terms and numbers, as in European congresses. Two or three of his order might take part, but beyond that they cannot go; in fact a congress called and directed by Paulists woudl be just as obnoxious as one directed by Jesuits. Let all combine on common ground, if possible, and care be taken not to have a fiasco.

The Crescent Club orchestra is to play for a Strawberry Festival to be held in the Senior Reading Room under Brother Paul. Most likely Edwards heard about the fires in Sorin Hall. Pat Tosney who took care of the steam house was suspected and discharged by the faculty but the boys thought it was wrong and presented him with $20. Since then it has been found out that the faculty was right. Edwards mentioned about his missing the Crescent club orchestra boys. They appreciate the compliment.

Chicago, (Illinois)
to
Onahan calls attention to the project of a Congress or meeting of Catholic laymen of the United States to be held in Baltimore, November 4th and 5th, on the occasion of the centenary of the Catholic Hierchy. The latter event will be celebrated under the auspices of His Eminence (James) Cardinal Gibbons and will undoubtedly be an occasion of special interest to Catholics of this country. It is believed that a meeting of Catholic laymen would be most opportune and fitting to demonstrate the cordial union and entire harmony subsisting between all orders in the Church and to unite more closely the laity and to stir into greater activity the Catholic laymen in works of Catholic interest, such as lay action in the Church, social questions, charities—private and state, religious Catholic literature, temperance work, Negroes and Indians, Catholic education, Catholic organization, immigration and colonization, etc. The approbation of the Cardinal has been given to the project and warm interest is expressed by many members of the Hierarchy. At a preliminary conference held a few days ago in Chicago, at which Archbishop (John) Ireland assisted, a program, date and place, and a committee of arrangements were agreed on. This committee, of some twenty gentlemen from different parts of the country, will meet in Detroit, Wednesday, June 5, to complete the preliminary arrangements and to issue the call for the Congress. ( ) has been name one of the committee and it is hoped can attend the Detroit meeting. The importance of the project and the desirability of carrying it to a successful result will carry weight and enlist cooperation. Please notify Henry F. Brownson, 25 Seitz Building, Detroit, Mich.

to Henry F. Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Brownson's letter of March 25th about the Carroll Centenary was forwarded to the Bishop in San Francisco, but he was there only two weeks and returned for Easter, since being very busy. He lives too far away from the civil and ecclesiastical center to know much about what is doing there, and Brownson's letter is the first and only intimation of such a Congress. He likes the idea very much. If some few will devote themselves to the fit preparation of men and matters, it will do great good, if they have a safe guide and one who desires to see the good done and not merely a volume made. He is a recluse, tilling his sparsely planted garden and shunning as much as he can all publicity.

Please obtain for personal use the reports of the National Conference of Associated Charities, which is much the same as the plan needed.

Bishop Spalding sends his thanks for checks for stock and dividends. Onahan's circular, which he returns, embraces all that such a meeting could concern itself. It would be wise to take up two or three points rather than many and to present a practical and businesslike method of dealing with the interests implicated. Talk is cheap and nearly all our gatherings begin and end in words. Take lay cooperation and devise some means by which laymen may really take part in Church work. It is not necessary to say anything about Indians and niggers and colonization. Take a stand in favor of prohibition and let temperance societies gently slide down an indefinitely slopping plane. It was not his attention, however, to make any suggestions further than to say that phrases are no longer needed. Let us cease to pretend to wish to do what we really have no intention of doing.

Harson, M.J.:
Providence, R(hode) I(sland)
to (Henry F.) Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Harson is greatly pleased to learn that the initiative has been taken with the view of holding a Catholic Congress next November; it is a movement he has been hoping for some years to see undertaken. The conventions of the C.Y.M.N.U. have been an indifferent amateur attempt at something of this character. He has hoped to see new strength added to the National Union, from which might come the beginnings of a Catholic Congress, but this strength has not been acquired. Brownson's action makes it unnecessary for Harson to present the subject to that body when it meets in Providence August 15th and 16th. As to the utility of a Catholic Congress, there is no question in his mind as to the great amount of good it will accomplish. It will be impossible, because of engagements, for him to attend the meeting on June 5; and his services can easily be dispensed with. The movement will be well directed in the hands of (William J.) Onahan, (Henry J.) Spaunhorst, Archbishop (John) Ireland, Brownson, and such others that are able to be present, and he does not doubt the excellence of their plan of arrangements. He has a business trip to Europe between June 26th and August 5th, but after that will be free to do anything that will contribute to the success of the Congress. As he is in New York and Boston every few weeks, he can confer with gentlemen there who are interested in the movement. Since November 4 falls on Monday, it would be better to arrange the dates for the 5th and 6th, thus giving all the delegates ample time to get to the opening of the Congress. Harson supposes the Congress will be shaped somewhat on the lines of the German and Belgian congresses, though he cannot recall their methods of representation, he suggests that the supreme officers of all Catholic organizations, German and French Catholics, representatives of each Catholic newspapers and periodicals, and the faculties of the colleges and an undergraduate from each be invited. He has ventured these remarks for the sake of having something to say. The plans which Brownson has in mind and which will be matured on June 5th will unquestionably meet all requirements. He expresses his deep sense of obligation for his appointment on the Committee.

Milwaukee, (Wisconsin)
to Henry F. Brownson:

Dwight, Thomas:
Boston, (Massachusetts)
to Henry F. Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Dwight regrets that it is impossible for him to attend the meeting of arrangements for the Congress of Catholic Laymen. He sympathizes entirely with the plan, but he has just returned from a European journey for his health and cannot do any work in the matter. Under the circumstances it will probably be best to resign from the Committee, but in this respect he is prepared to be guided by the wishes of those in charge.

Hoguet, Henry L.:
New York, (New York)
to W(illia)m J. Onanan:
(Chicago, Illinois)
Hoguet's present condition of health will not permit his going to Detriot on June 5th. He took cold at an open air address to the Protectory Boys, and must beg to be excused from taking part in the proposed Committee of Arrangements. He hopes he will be able to attend the Congress at Baltimore and give all the attention possible to the subject of Catholic Education with the view of profiting by the experience of such zealous workers on this interesting subject.(In the Henry F. Brownson collection).

Notre Dame, (Indiana)

Fulton, S.J., Father Robert:
Boston, Mass(achusetts)
to (William J.) Onahan:
(Chicago, Illinois)
Fulton had arrived at Boston the previous night, and found circulars for a Dr. Derby and Mr. Donnelly, and one for himself. He is puzzled since Onahan has made no previous mention of Fulton being on the Committee. Since this information was of such short notice, it will be impossible to come to Detriot on June 5. He asks that Mayor Brownson be notified, if necessary.

Kehoe, L(awrence):
New York, (New York)
to Henry F. Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
(William J.) Onahan has sent Kehoe a circular about the proposed meeting of Catholic laymen, and tells him that he is chosen a member of the committee to meet in Detroit June 5th, and that he is to communicate with Brownson. He is sorry that it is not convenient for him, but he has had a bad attack of rheumatism—the first in his life—and cannot get around very well. He is heartily in unison and in spirit with the promoters of the meeting and will do all he can to help the cause.

Straniero, Mgr. G(ermano):
Rome, (Italy)
to (James F.) Edwards:
(London, England)
He was glad to see Father General (Edward Sorin, C.S.C.) in Rome. He will dine with him at St. Brigita on Sunday after which Sorin will go to Lyons. Because Sorin does not remain here long, Straniero thinks it impossible to try to let him name a bishop. Probably Edwards can do better when he comes to Rome.

Foy tells him he is going, and he will be on hand. Some of his German friends are asserting that the German Catholic Convention is thus interfered with. He supposes he can never please everybody. Like Dave Crockett, "Be sure you're right, then go ahead". Of course Onahan will be in Detroit Wednesday.
