Vienna, (Austria)
to (Father Edward Sorin, C.S.C.):
Many times he thought of Sorin while viewing faith invigorating scenes. He describes at length the fervor of the people and the religious ceremonies he has witnessed. (Note: Apparently this is an incomplete rough draft of a letter probably sent to Sorin.)

Gregori, Fannie:
(Chicago, Illinois)
to J(ames) F. Edwards:
(Paris, France)
Little would they have thought that their next letter would be to offer Edwards sympathy for the affliction he has sustained in the loss of his father. What now seems a cruel separation is but the beginning of an eternal reunion in heaven. Her father (Luigi Gregori) is now hard at work on the pictures for Washington. A painting from Rome has arrived which was sent to Father (Edward) Sorin for his jubilee. It is a copy of part of a painting by Raffaelle, painted by her father before coming to America.

to Father D(aniel) E. Hudson, C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Jenkins thanks Hudson for inserting his advertisement in the Ave Maria. He was hardly the means for bringing Hudson and Father (Edmund) Hill, C.P. together, but he is glad that he had a remote influence in it. Jenkins's broken collar bone has not mended. He wishes Hudson's candid opinion on the progress of one year old Poor Souls' Advocate.

Edes, Ella B.:
Rome, (Italy)
to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
The Annuario Missiones Catholicae for 1889 has been forwarded to Mr. Kemper. Edes sends some articles for the Ave Maria. What canards newspapers in the United States get off; yesterday's mail brought New York journals of August 12-22 with the news of the Ecclesiastical Tribunal for the Church in the United States. They explain the statements of the liberal press in Rome relative to the row in the United States over the Ecclesiastical Tribunal presided over by (James) Cardinal (Gibbons) and Archbishop (Patrick John) Ryan, who are already at loggerheads over the decisions, while American Catholics are utterly disgusted and had petitioned the Pope on the subject. The tale is false, as is the story, or at least premature, that Father (Otto) Zardetti is to succeed Bishop (Rupert) Seidenbush. Mrs. (Eva) Mariotti, now in America, writes that she heard from Hudson. Her husband cannot decide if he would be able to find work in the United States as an artist. Things go on as usual, more fuss is made over the question of the departure of the Pope by foreign newspapers than in Rome. Coming back would be the rub. Had the move been made in 1870, probably matters would be right, but after nineteen years of dual sovereignty it would not have the same effect.

E(dwards), J(ames) F.:
Vienna, Austria
to Sister Aloysius:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
It seems a long time since he heard from her. The other day he received Holy Communion for her and his friends at Notre Dame. He leaves for Venice, then to Rome, to Ireland, and return to America in November. Since his early childhood all his deepest attachments have been contained at Notre Dame so it is only natural that any news from there should give him joy. It was Father (Edward Sorin's) wonderful enthusiasm which first fascinated Edwards' youthful imagination and made him long to devote his energies to the work he commenced.

It is the general impression that Myers is engaged to Fan Coates, but they are not although George would like to be. He sends his best to George Rhodius.

(Detroit, Michigan)
Health and strength continuing as now and no unexpected work being thrown on him, Wolff expects to place the paper in Brownson's hands before the 15th. He wishes to do so, for he wishes it carefully examined, that in his desire to do good he may not exceed the bounds of prudence and do harm. He will not only submit to but will be thankful for any corrections or amendments the committee may see fit to make or suggest to him to make. Therefore he is anxious to have it before the committee as soon as possible. He sends a copy of the Catholic Standard-marked on editorial page. He hastily gave the Episcopalian churchman a cuff which hits too— he is glad of it though he did not intend it——- some of the Catholic papers that are quibbling about the committee and the arrangements for the Congress.

Roles, Father Jos(eph) P.:
Chicago, Illinois
to (Henry F. Brownson):
(Detroit, Michigan)
In answer to Brownson's question concerning a paper on Socialism or the reciprocal duties of capital and labor, Father Roles without hesitation suggests that Colonel W. P. Rend of Chicago be entrusted with it. He is very public spirited, takes great interest in the labor question, was an arbiter in the great trouble between the mine owners and the mine laborers, is well read up in the relation of labor and capital, particularly in the past, is a fervent Catholic, likes public speaking, and is besides a capitalist and would not be considered a prejudiced advocate of the opposing class. There is in Braidwood, Illinois, a practical whom the late Bishop (John) Mc Mullen considered a very able and not a one sided debater on the same topic, a good Catholic, and with some suggestion and study might prepare an excellent paper. Father Roles is suffering very much from hay fever and is unable to study or think. He is writing to Mons. L'Able Aubin. Father (P. D.) Stone has just conducted and finished a very interesting mission in Father Roles' Church.

Before he learned that (Seton) had bought "Tranent and its Surroundings" Dunlop had ordered a copy for him; he requests (Seton) to take a duplicate home as a momento of one of those episodes in his life which he will always look back on with regret that it was so short. He asks (Seton) to accept 3 articles he has written on China. In these days of the worship of gold, it is a pleasure to meet someone who places Mammon on a footing so inferior to the claims of descent from those who helped to make Scotland what she is. He is enclosing a letter to his cousin Miss Cathcart. Her grandfather Lord Alloway is buried inside the "Auld Kirk" of Alloway. If his cousins are home (Seton) will have a good Scottish welcome. Another cousin William Hamilton Dunlop is the proprietor of the next estate. There are still many things he would like (Seton) to have seen. He would like to drive him from Seton to Haddington via Redhowse Castle and back by the coast and Port Seton Harbor.

Shea is afraid a serious mistake has been made in adding his name to the committee on organization and especially as representing the Catholic press. His editorship is not three months old and may not last three months more. He took it up as the first thing offered and must give it up when he can find a position to support him. He is still unable to travel alone, and much as he would like to visit Detroit, he sees no possibility of getting on next month. If he manages to reach Baltimore next November it will be all that he can accomplish. With Brownson's note came one from (William J.) Onahan, and Shea was just on the point of writing to ask that his name be suppressed as reader of a paper on Catholic Congresses, Really he doesn't see how he can treat the topic properly.

Shea, John Gilmary:
Elizabeth, (New Jersey)
to Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
A copy of the Catholic Address will be sent to Hudson. Shea is able to get about the house on crutches. A party was formed against him and he was deprived of the editorial position he had held for 27 years. He has been offered the editorship of the Catholic News by H(erman) Ridder. The confusion and multifarious character of his work has prevented serious devotion to his history. Shea has much investigation to make at Baltimore, Boston and St. Louis and he is awaiting some documents from Rome.

Campbell, John H.:
Philadelphia, (Pennsylvania)
to Henry F. Brownson:
Detroit, Mich(igan)
After thinking over the contents of Brownson's letter, Campbell has concluded to accept the invitation to read a paper on Temperance. He does not believe in Prohibition either in principle or as a matter of public policy. He has assisted in the passage of the Pennsylvania High License Law and believes it to be an excellent measure although it is by no means perfect. Temperance should be treated not only under its moral and social aspect but also in connection with the action of state legislature. No Paper on temperance in America today would be complete without reference to legislation which occupies such an important place in the public mind. The Church today is suffering from intemperance in America, and there is no more important subject for the Congress to consider than the methods by which the laity can aid in carrying the decress of the Council of Baltimore. Camp-bell fully recognizes the fact that the temperance question has been but little studied by intelligent Catholics, and that the views of members of the C.T.A. Union may differ materially from those who do not belong to that body. At the same time they must avoid extreme language and bear patiently with the opinions of those who differ. However, be must not write his paper in advance.

He is enclosing the correspondence about Preston Cross from the "Scotsman." Seton will find the reference to a right of way to Seton in the letter signed "East Lothian," nom de plume of General Cardell of Cokenzie House. Seton may keep it if it interest him. He has copied out a few stanzas on Seton which were given him by a Mr. Mason who drew the sketch of the castle and the chapel in MacNeil's book. He also sends a copy of some notes extracted from one of his old note books in regard to Redhowse. 376 years today since the Lord of Seton fell with his king.

(Foy, Peter L.):
St. Louis, (Missouri)
to (Henry F.) Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
All's well that ends well, but the bishops came near upsetting everything and doubtless would have if Henry had not stood up so stoutly against their dictation. If (William J.) Onahan'sresolution had not been rescinded, Foy would have written no paper and would have resigned from the committee. Onahan was bent on reducing their committee to a shadow. Bishop (Richard) Gilmoursuddenly changed his mind in the right direction. The depressing thing about the whole business is that the bishops, and Cardinal (James Gibbons) included, did not know their own minds about it any two consecutive days. Their indecision continued to the last moment, or they would not have passed Onahan's resolution. Foy asks if it originated with Onahan or (Archbishop John) Ireland.He has ascertained that there is no hostility on the part of the Germans towards the Catholic Congress. He does not care what subject is given to (Conde B.) Pallen; if he does not get a paper, Foy will be blamed and it will render their social relations unpleasant. He thinks the decks are now clear for the main work of the committee — the papers. He does not think Brownson will get anything from (Terence V.) Powderlyas he is to give a series of lectures in st. Louis this fall. He is convinced that Brownson's remonstrance with the "big four" against the emasculation or deposition of their committee from its proper and appointed place, will have lasting effects, perhaps making it perennial. If the Congress were to meet only by sufferance of the bishops, they could put an end to it anytime simply by refusing to call it to meet. If they insisted on a rigid supervision of the utterances of the body, and of calling in only such (The letter ends abruptly. Letter incomplete.)

to Henry F. Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Shea is afraid a serious mistake has been made in adding his name to the Committee on Organization, and especially as representing the Catholic press. His editorship is not three months old and may not last three months more. He must give it up when he can find a position to support him. He is still unable to travel alone, and sees no possibility of visiting Detroit next month. Reaching Baltimore in November will be the most he can accomplish. With Brownson's note came one from Mr. Onahan, and Shea was just on the point of writing to ask that his name be suppressed as reader of a paper on Catholic Congresses. He does not see how he can treat the subject properly.

While Shea was laid up some insidious people prompted by dislike to him as a Catholic succeeded in getting him removed from his editorship at Leslie's. Shea was left without resources and in no trim to look for employment. He has often thought he would like to write an article on the saints in London and visit the churches where they have been. They have demolished the house in which Archbishop Carroll was born. No notice was taken of Shea's suggestion to have a chair made for Cardinal Gibbon's from the timber.

He notices in Church News that the subject of the relations of labor to capital has not been assigned to anyone yet. He would like to see another New Englander on the list and would suggest Stephen O'Meara, editor of the Boston Journal. If he would not take this subject, perhaps he would write on some other theme. He is a very able gentleman and would add breadth and strength to the Congress. Is the next meeting to be on the 6th or 16th? Harson would like particulars on what was done at the last meeting.

Roles, Father Jos(eph) P.:

to (Henry F. Brownson):
(Detroit, Michigan)
Father Roles delayed replying to Brownson's last letter until he had recovered a book, "Souvenirs d'un Journaliste a Rome," which he was anxious for Brownson to read, but he has not yet regained it. Brownson must not rely on him for any cooperation, in his labors to procure papers and readers for the celebration in Baltimore. His hay fever rages with unusual virulence and it is impossible for him to give his attention to anything which demands the thought he possessed. When Brownson reads the "Souvenirs" he will understand, though Father Roles sympathizes with his views—the impossibility of saying or doing in ecclesiastical matters anything not in accordance with the programs cut and dry emanating from the base of the Rock of Peter. Has Brownson read the "Life of William George Ward"? It has interested Father Roles wonderfully. The copy is expensive and he will send it to Brownson, if he likes, so that he may practice a virtue which he understands he only partially does—-economy in the purchase of books.

Father Hudson trusts the papers are not to be printed before being publicly read. If he could have it before the Congress begins, O.K. His object in writing this early was to secure the paper—he knows it will be the best of all—for first publication in the Ave Maria. It will surely lessen interest on the Ave Maria. It will surely lessen interest on the Congress if opinions can be passed on what was said before it actually adjourns. Keep up expectation as long as possible. He agrees that the invitation to Judge (Edmund F.) D(unne) cannot now be withdrawn. His paper will be creditable, and the truth about him can not be generally known. Those who know him well easily excuse the selection, and it may have a good effect with him.

However, if it must be ready by then, he will do what he can to have it ready. A good deal might be done to Americanize Catholics if they were willing to be criticized, but Seton knows—and of course Brownson knows—what his father (Orestes A. Brownson) went through for daring to criticize. A Bishop once threatened to crush the Review if he did not change his tone. If Brownson can write again a line or two, Seton will be obliged.

Stoddard requests a copy of "Troubled Heart" be sent to F.M. Somers of Current Literature.

Stoddard sent him a copy of the "Molokai" booklet.

Rend, W. P.:
Chicago, (Illinois)
to H(enry) F. Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Brownson's invitation to read a paper on the subject of capital and labor before the forthcoming American Catholic Congress arrived during Rend's absence from the city. He sincerely thanks him for the compliment, but as business obligations are now pressing heavily upon him and as it is doubtful whether he can find time to attend the Catholic Congress, he would prefer that Brownson select some other gentleman to prepare a paper on this interesting and most important subject. In case his engagements permit, Rend will try to be present at the convention, and if so, will be glad to give his views on the topic. He feels it would not be proper for him to accept the invitation while uncertain as to his ability to be present on the occasion.

Foy, Peter L.:
St. Louis, (Missouri)
to H(enry) F. Brownson:
Detroit, (Michigan)
Foy has received the newspapers he asked for and read the report of the meeting of the committee and bishops. The October meeting is a virtual impossibility because the papers will not be ready by that date. He would advise Brownson to proceed at once to change both date and place. Instead of October 15th and Detroit, the date should be November 4th and the place Baltimore. Brownson cannot fail to make Bishop (John S.) Foley see the propriety of this and to get him to write to the other bishops to agree to the changes. It is necessary that Brownson and Foy be in Baltimore some days in advance of the Congress and thus may as well have the papers judged there as in Detroit, because the bishops will also have to be in Baltimore, and they may as well come early as late. The fact is Brownson and they have no choice in the matter, for the papers will not be ready by the 15th of October. Foy encloses ( ) Pollen's acceptance; it is handsomely worded. In the report of the proceedings Foy notices his name in connection with the work of women and children— a printer's mistake, he supposes. He has had and will have nothing to do with that subject. There will be very little time for the reading of the papers. The committee on organization will take up one whole day at least and (James) Cardinal (Gibbons) a good part of the other. They must try, however, to have them published.

Bishop (John Joseph) Keane told her Hudson looked worn out. Illness has reduced her to an invalid. The stole of Father (Joseph) Damien (DeVeuster) that Hudson has worn threw her into a panic because of the fear that he will contract leprosy. The alternation Dorsey wishes to insert in her contract is to reserve the royalties on those of her books in the uniform edition, which never appeared in the Ave Maria, and those which by arrangement with Father (Neal) Gillespie, she was allowed to publish in book form before they appeared in the Ave Maria. Nellie (Ella Lorraine) Dorsey has a desk in the Scientific Library and is engaged on Russian patents. Her stories are delightful. Is there a chance that Hudson will come to Washington or that Father Edward Sorin, C.SC. will come to Washington for the opening of the Catholic University?

At a meeting of the Committee on Arrangements appointed by their society for preparing a program for the proper celebration of the centenary of the hierarchy in the United States to be held in this city under the auspices of this society, Brownson's name was urged as the proper person to be invited to prepare an historical or essay pertinent to the occasion. The program consists of a poem, orations, and an historical paper. Brownson's name as well as that of his eminent relative (Orestes A. Brownson) is so well known and so eminently appreciated by all intelligent Catholics as well as by others that it would insure at once the success they desire. A paper treating the subject historically of about three fourths to one hour in length, to be read by Brownson himself, or if that be impossible through other engagements, through his deputy, would be a great compliments, through his deputy, would be a great compliment to them and a treat to all. They will celebrate on November 6; the Baltimore celebration begins on the 10th. As Brownson no doubt will visit Baltimore on that occasion he could be in Philadelphia by the 6th. Reuss hopes Brownson will give them a fair and favorable consideration.

His instructions were not carried out or Brownson would have been notified much sooner. He would like very much to comply with Brownson's request, but he is kept far too busy to properly attend to his legitimate duties and thus could not, in justice to the great subject proposed, the occasion, or himself, undertake at this time to write the paper for Brownson, and therefore asks to be excused.

Shea, John G(ilmary):
Elizabeth, N(ew) J(ersey)
to Henry F. Brownson:
Detroit, (Michigan)
(M. J.) Harson has kindly sent Shea references to some articles on the Catholic Congresses in Europe, but they were rather conventions of societies such as Americans have had and as the Catholic press might hold if it chooses and when it chooses. The gentlemen who meet at Baltimore are rather a number of Catholic Laymen who meet to propose combined action, rather than delegates representing bodies or dioceses or states. In planning a paper less space should be given to Congresses in Europe and their local work than to the American position, the relation to the Holy See, and the necessity of outspoken expression: Catholics' relation to the United States government in its treatment of Catholic Indians, Catholics in Army and Navy, and its recent attempt to make a national school system, essentially anti-Catholic in character and sure to lead to infidelity; then in relation to state governments' necessity of legislation to obviate constantly recurring Catholic wrongs; as a body to make a clear, broad declaration that Catholics wish to abridge no rights of any citizen but do not wish their own to be infringed; Catholics' Indian and Negro work; the necessity of telegraphic news from Rome not manufactured by Reuter. The various local topics to be treated in the Congress could then be touched on as an announcement. There is one thing an outspoken Catholic Congress can and ought to do: that is to petition the Holy See in the ecclesiastical cases at Rome arising in this country to check and suppress the enormous latitude allowed the ecclesiastical lawyers there of assailing the character, life and actions of American bishops with a grossness and personality that would not be tolerated in American civil courts. Their arguments are printed and from time to time even translated and circulated in this country to the infinite scandal of Catholics, who after reading some of these things conclude that the Pope puts over them the most hideous monsters he can find. This is of course a delicate point; but it is a terrible and growing evil and the Pope should be asked to stop it. Shea is working up the paper, and will send it before long.

Covington, K(entuck)y
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Stoddard saw (Edward) Clifford's book on Father Damien in all the book stalls of England. Stoddard is certain no book published by a Catholic house in the United States can be a success.(Maurice Francis) Egan is know by critics and by Catholic readers of taste but had he published his books under a Catholic imprint he would have fallen flat. So it would be a blessing if all Catholic publishers in this country were to pass out of existence. He agrees with Egan when he says American literature should begin to look beyond narrow space, walled by provincial works filled with goody-goody stories which no clever young person dreams of reading. Stoddard always believed that as for the socalled Catholic novel that is constantly in demand, it would not be read by the people who cry out for it. The average Catholic reader is a bigot, who exercises an abnormal right of private judgement concerning all things Catholic and non-Catholic. Hudson hit the nail on the head when he wrote in the Ave Maria concerning the Washington University, Catholics have been its worst enemies.

He has just returned from Ballymoyer House 12 or 13 miles from here. He received a telegram from (Mark Seton) Synnot saying that he would be delighted to receive him. Old Sir Walter (Synnot) is buried in the protestant cemetery in Rome. His wife, Jane Seton was a woman of great taste. In the house Robert saw a dozen crayon sketches by herself including a likeness of the widow of John Seton. A small stone building of her design was erected on the bank of the stream where she used to bathe. As Agnes Synnot remarked she made herself comfortable for the chimney place shows that she used to have a fire there. Robert leaves tomorrow for Drogheda and hopes to be in Dublin on Saturday afternoon. After writing to will last Sunday at Ayr, he went to the head of Loch Doon to the ruins of a castle which Sir Christopher Seton kept for Robert Bruce. On Monday Robert received permission from Lord Eglinton to see his family portraits. There are some ugly stories about the Eglintons. Robert is sorry because they are Setons in blood although Montgomeries in name. Sir Alexander Seton who became Lord Eglinton was a very bad fellow. Many of the Seton pictures are only copies. He saw none of the family. At Dumfries, Robert called on the Bishop who told him to visitTerregles house and told him of a chalice given by a Countess (Elizabeth Maxwell) of Winton with date 1677. The Maxwells, Lord Herries family, are Catholics. Robert found only Mrs. Maxwell and Mrs. Captain Pilkington but was so kindly received. Robert arrived at Armagh yesterday.

He arrived in Dublin this evening having left Armagh this morning and seen everything in and around Drogheda. They have a letter from a certain James Seton written about 1796 but there is now no one of their name in that city or county. He has twice written to Cooke in Paris but has not received Wil's letter or any answer. They are a common lot. Wil writes so vaguely about Robert Ray Hamilton's affair. Robert will not write another line for the Freeman; not a single copy has been sent to him. He could have written something interesting about Lulworth Chapel and Bishop Carroll's consecration. Wil is to write Liz to thank her for her letter; he is sorry to hear of the robbing of the church. She is to tell the priest that Robert will give a lecture for him anytime he wants. Robert is sorry to hear that scandal about their cousin. Wil is to remind Robert to tell him about the Eglinton scandals. Wil is to tell Sally that he has fine photographs of Terregles House and Seton House and is to have a lot about Ballymoyer which Agnes Synnot, named after Agnes Berry has promised to send. Wil writes that Miss Leahy is now quite a "swell" at Newport. She has been a "swell" there for twenty years! Robert is getting to be quite a Radical. Was it Thackeray who said "An Englishman must be a snob." He hopes Tom won't take offence. Tomorrow two weeks Robert will be on the ocean homewards.

Gardiner, J(ames) T.:
Woodstock, M(arylan)d
to W(illiam) J. Onahan:
(Chicago, Illinois)
In the absence of the Rector, Gardiner states that even though Woodstock is called a college in the Catholic Directory, it is only a Scholasticate in which only members of the Society of Jesus are educated. In view of this, it will be impossible to send delegates to the coming Catholic Congress.

Dunne, E(dmund) F.:
San Antonio, Fl(orid)a
to H(enry) F. Brownson:
Detroit, Mich(igan)
Confidential. Dunne has done the best he could to justify Brownson's selection of him to treat the education question. If Bishop (Richard) Gilmour is to be one of committee of bishops to pass upon papers, he will not be surprised if he raises objections to his paper. Dunne beat him in that case of the Grey Nuns in Toledo, about the asylum property, and he does not like to be beaten. Father (P. F.) Quigley was counsel of record but Dunne got up the defense and wrote the brief, and the Bishop saw him in Father Quigley's house in Toledo at the time and doubtless knew what he was there for. Besides Father Quigley and Dunne are cousins and Father Quigley downed the Bishop again lately in Rome. So Dunne hopes Brownson will not let Bishop Gilmour have anything more to do with his paper than he can help. He suggests if Bishop (John S. Foley) of Detroit is one of the Committee that Brownson get the paper before him as soon as possible and let him examine it; and if he should find anything he thinks ought to be changed that Brownson advise Dunne promptly so that he might get it in by October 15. Also he had set his time of leaving here October 7 so as to stop at St. Mary's College, North Carolina, where his two boys are, one sick. At that time he did not know of this bishop censorship, and now he must wait to hear from that. So as soon as their action is known Brownson is asked to telegraph Dunne. It is just possible that the bishops may want his paper read in full before the Congress, in which case Brownson is to wire "approved to be given in full"; but if they let Dunne condense, he is to wire "approved for 30 minutes". He wants to have a talk with Brownson in Baltimore, for he has many things to say to him and some questions to ask. He hopes every thing will go all right.

Dunne, E(dmund) F.:
San Antonio, Fl(orid)a
to H(enry) F. Brownson:
Detroit, Mich(igan)
Dunne sent Brownson yesterday his paper for the Congress. His experiences with the Express company is that it is a little slower than mail, so if Brownson does not receive the paper within about four days, he should wire Dunne for another copy. He judges by the fixing of October 15 for examination of papers by the committee of bishops that 15 days of grace are given to the writers of papers, but he hastens to get his in, so as to get as early consideration as possible, as he is so far away that he ought to have early notice if any change is desired. He would like to say a word to the bishops in explanation of his paper. 1) The subject was not of his selection. Brownson put before him the whole subject of education en bloc. Dunne asked him to particularize and he replied that he would like to have a distinct declaration of the respective rights and duties of the state, the parents and the Church. This was if anything making the subject larger than before, but Dunne cites this to show the bishops that he did not rush into the consideration of the grave questions of the rights of man and of the Church of his own choice, with the confidence of an expert in these matters. He merely took the task set before him and did the best he could with it; and it took him into a field with which he does not profess to be very familiar. Indeed he found he had to pick his steps very carefully and if he had missed the path more or less he will be glad to be set straight. Also he was given a lot of ground to go over and found he could not do it in 30 minutes; but he sends it in as it is, thinking that if the paper is to be printed, all the arguments to justify the conclusions ought to go in, but in presenting it before the Congress the people there will not care to have the whole argument in detail but will be satisfied with its substances and conclusions. By skipping a little here and there he can put it before the Congress in 30 minutes. Although he affects to treat the matter of allegiance lightly, he knows that is the most taking argument used against Catholics and has felt more anxious about that than any other part of the paper. Still, he leaves the paper to the Bishops in entire submission. Let them strike out as they deem best, only if therebe changes, Dunne wishes to be advised as soon as possible.

Foy, Peter L.:
St. Louis, (Missouri)
to H(enry) F. Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
It would be highly improper to determine the plan of the permanent organization of the Congress in Detroit. Foy has no objection to Governor (John Lee) Carroll as permanent chairman and prefers him to (William S.) Rosencrans whom he knew here during the war as one of the most extreme radicals in America. Carroll may be and doubtless is a politician but he is a Carroll and a Marylander. The permanent committees ought to be formed by the delegates of each state naming a member. That is the rule in all conventions. The chief theory is to get control of the committee on permanent organization. If the rule referred to cannot be carried out from one cause or another they must be prepared with another expedient—say to elect by ballot. Evidently (William J.) Onahan intends to figure as the great and leading character of the Convention. That matters little, if he were endowed with either light or leading. If he is to have his way the Congress will be the last as well as the first of its kind. He has no fear of its becoming a political machine but if it be localized in Baltimore, that will be the end of it, and that is what Onahan and the bishops mean to do. Brownson at the forthcoming meeting should put in a strong demand for money to publish the papers. They will make a pretty good-sized volume. Foy would withhold such as Brownson may receive from any inspection on the 15th next. There are cogent reasons for this, as Foy will show Brownson when they meet. Another thing he ought to insist on is the privilege of writing the cablegram to be sent to Rome as soon as the Convention is organized. Of course he will promise to submit the draft of it to the episcopal censors and the present and other authorities. He should prepare his draft and send it to Foy for revision. He looks on this as a very important matter. Brownson should claim the privilege for his Committee. He asked if Brownson knows they have the privilege of increasing its membership and if there are not two or three Detroit men who would stand by Brownson against Onahan. He could allege good reasons for putting them on because his correspondence must be very heavy, and no body but persons living in Detroit can lighten the load. Foy is not surprised at the reluc-tance of persons to write on capital and labor. It is a thorny and perilous subject. Yet he will have to touch upon it in his paper, since he has been shifted from charities to philanthropic movements. Temperance is one of them undoubtedly but what are the others called? Missions to the heathen are purely religious. Brownson ought to know, for he has spoken of them frequently. The Indians will have a paper devoted exclusively to their schools and missions. Certainly Catholics ought to participate to a greater extent than they do in the annual meetings of the Association of Charities and Correction, but it will do little good to say so. P. S.: Foy has the glimmering of an idea which may turn out of practical value; that is to get proxies from states that will have no representation on the floor of the Congress. If voting should go by states, proxies would come very handy.

There was no excommunication in Waterloo. (McQuaid) deprived (James) Krelly and (William) Dempsey, leaders in the Father (Louis A.) Lambert party, of Church priviliges until they repair the scandal of inviting an excommunicated priest to lecture in Waterloo. Father (Edward) McGlynn's lecture was a failure as far as the audiences went. They went to New York for advice and no doubt got it from Father (Richard L.) Burtsell. They claim two prisests in Auburn advised resistance. Their retreats begin this evening. St. Andrew's has 39 students.

Stoddard Knows Serino Bishop the editor of the Friend of Honolulu; he wrote a disparaging article concerning Father (Joseph) Damien (De Veuster). It may have instigated the attack in the Congregationalist. The writer is a broken down puffed up clergyman, son of one of the old missionaries. His attack on Damien is the last kick of the expiring missionary stock. Stoddard has letters from Armstrong the son of a missionary and from Mrs. H.A.P.

Since the receipt of Brownson's letter of the 16th, Rend has been absent most of the time from the city. Although he has written for the press and has spoken in public on several occasions upon the subject of the relations between capital and labor, he does not, however, feel warranted in presenting an essay upon this subject before such an assemblage as that which will be convened at Baltimore without giving this subject much careful thought and study. An article worthy of such an occasion would require in its treatment a searching analyses of many of the various complex factors connected with this most intricate problem. For this preparation and study, Rend must plead a present want of time. As he is overwhelmed with the duties, cares and responsibilities of his personal business affairs, he can find little or no time to engage in literary matters. He hopes, therefore, that Brownson will excuse him from writing for the coming Catholic Congress.

He noticed the article in the Catholic Mirror about Episcopal censorship. His role to Brownson accompanying his other paper contains a good answer to that, which he may use if he likes.

Malo, Father J( ) F.:
St. John, North Dakota
to Henry F. Brownson:
Detroit, Mich(igan)
The enthusiasm among Catholics over the Congress is a sign of the progressive and youthful condition of American Catholics. He lists the subjects that the Congress ought to take up; another subject should be "Catholic Colonisation in our great and wonderful West." The Provincial Council of Cincinnati, Ohio a few months ago issued a decree on the subject. The Catholic Colonization Society has had encouraging successes. It is a sad fact that thousands of Catholic families have gone astray and are lost to the Church for the lack of proper information or direction in their eager searches of land for a home. He suggests the founding of a Catholic Colonization Bureau in every diocese, to give information about lands and homesteads. The Swedes, Norwegians, Bohemians and Poles come in caravans. The French, German and even Irish stroll alone on the prairies. He describes the colonization activity to the north (in Canada?); colonists are never sent out without a missionary to lead them. He signs the paper "Jean Baptists Radisson" making his own signature confidential. Brownson might have the letter read or get (William J.) Onahan of Chicago to speak on the subject at the (American Catholic Congress.)

Ryan, P(atrick) J(ohn), Archbishop of:
Philadelphia, (Pennsylvania)
to (William J.) Onahan:
(Chicago, Illinois)
Ryan thinks Onahan acted rightly in applying for representation of the Ancient order of Hibernians Society. He sends the following names as those suitable to represent the diocese at the Catholic Congress: Stephen Larrelly (President of Catholic Club), Dan(iel) Dougherty, and Charles Hardy. Ryan wishes success to the Congress. It is important to select the safest writers and speakers, and then leave them free. The selections are good and can be trusted. He fears that unless full liberty is granted in treating the subjects, it will weaken the influence of the Congress among the laity, Catholic and Protestant. He is convinced that the Advisory Committee will see to this.

His paper on the Catholic Periodical Press is finished except for a paragraph or two. He asks for more time, since work and illness have hindered him. He gives an outline of his paper. He has abstained from all attempts at rhetoric; his criticisms are not directed to any particular paper, and he quotes Leo XIII, and the Third Plenary Council— in effect, therefore, it is "they" and not Wolff that criticize the press.

Harson, M. J.:
Providence, R(hode) I(sland)
to (Henry F.) Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
Harson has not seen last week's Universe but has read editorials in the Mirror and one or two other papers which he assumes are in the same key as the article referred to. The Jerky, faltering, incompetent treatment of the proposed Congress by the Catholic Press is amazing. He has always been a warm advocate of the Catholic press, urging a liberal support, exalting its good features and minimizing its deficiencies; but its late general exhibition of incapacity has grieved him deeply. Scarcely an editor has given evidence that he grasped the idea of a Catholic Congress and not one has written a line to indicate that he had any knowledge of the Congresses that have been held in Europe during the last 40 years. As to the advisory board, Harson sees no reason for objection. It was appointed at the request of the committee and its members will do all in their power to further the interests of the Congress. Mere interference on their part as is suggested by inference in some of the papers, is an insult to their manhood and intelligence as well as to us. This is to be a Congress of the Catholics of the country, not merely of the laity. (H. W.) Cummings has been too sick to give a definite answer. He would be pleased to write a paper and asked Harson to wait until the 1st next, as he hoped to be sufficiently improved in health by that time to agree to undertake the task. Harson is quite sure he will be able to give an affirmative answer. He has written to ( ) O'Meara and should receive an answer in a day or two. He hopes to be able to attend the meeting of October 16th.

Stone has gone to see Archbishop (Michael) Corrigan and several pastors. He will go to Boston to see his aged mother.

O'Brien, William J.:

As Brownson has doubtless been informed, a committee of arrangements for the Catholic Congress in Baltimore has been organized. (James) Cardinal Gibbons is chairman of the general committee and Ch(arles) J. Bonaparte is chairman of the Executive Committee. O'Brien is Chairman of the Press Committee, which is made up of the editors chiefly of all the daily papers and the agents of the Associated and United Press. He has been authorized to open correspondence with Brownson's committee so as to secure copies of all the papers to be read at the Congress at least one week before the opening day. This they think necessary in order to secure full reports. He would be pleased to hear from Brownson on the subject as soon as possible. It has been agreed by the several representatives of the press that by placing them in his hands there will be a proper distribution to all the journals at the same time, as O'Brien will have them in type and will furnish proofs.

Foy, Peter L.:
St. Louis, (Missouri)
to H(enry) F. Brownson:
Detroit, (Michigan)
Foy got (Conde B.) Pallen to write an editorial in Church Progress based on Brownson's letter to himself after the last conference. Pallen takes the ground that the Mirror was misinformed and that the Congress will be entirely free. This is contrary to the published report of the proceedings in the last conference which says that no paper shall be read which has not previously received the approbation of the bishops. Nevertheless, Pallen's is the only safe ground to take. Foy will go in for a general revision when the committees meet in Baltimore. The article in the Mirror has done a great deal of good and has given (Henry J.) Spaunhorst a dull thud in the abdomen from which he will not recover until he kisses some bishop's ring or is stuffed again by (William J.) Onahan. Foy had a visit yesterday from Lincoln Balle, a coadjutor for (Daniel A.) Rudd and also a forerunner for him; for Rudd is to be here in a few days to lecture about things which he saw and learned in Europe. He went to Switzerland to attend (Charles-Martial Allemand) Cardinal Lavigerie's convention-international jealousies prevented its being held-and is full of the subject, for he interviewed more than one personage on the fate and hopes of his race. If Brownson wants anything about the Arab slave drivers and the slave traffic, Rudd is the man to furnish it. When they discussed him before, Foy had no idea that he would ever get so near the fountainhead of information as he did get. It was really a splended adventure of his to cross the seas to participate in a movement for the amelioration of the cruel destinies which still overshadow his African brethern. Foy will not be able to attend the meeting of the 15th. The best thing to do is to adjourn over to meet in Baltimore at an early date in November.

She was very much pleased to hear from Seton again. If he will look at the extract of the pedigree that she sent him, he will find the name, Ann (Seton), her grandmother, who was the only child of George Seton, eldest son of Charles Seton, son of George, fifth Earl of Winton. The ring Catherine has belonged to Margaret McKlear, wife of George Fifth Earl of Winton. She hopes Seton will be able to see that she and her baby are descended from the same Seton family as he; the Seton of Parbroath were a branch of the same tree. One of the greatest pleasures she has experienced since returning to England was meeting Seton in Bambro Churchyard. He is the only descendant of the Seton family she has ever met and really and truly a gentleman in every sense. She thanks him for the blessing he sent her babe and will try to bring her up to be an honor to her middle name. Catherine's mother joins in best wishes for a safe return.

To Shea's knowledge there is no facsimile anywhere of the United States Constitution adopted by the Convention of 1789.

He has a partially completed paper for the Ave Maria. It is sketches of holy personages in Canada and the United States, whose canonization is in hand.
