Kain, John J., Bishop of:
Wheeling, W(est) V(irgin)a
to W(illia)m J. Onahan:

Before replying to the enclosed letter from Dr. Wingerter, the Bishop awaits Onahan's suggestion as to what point he would like Dr. Wingerter to treat.
Enclosure:1893 Jan. 25
Wingerter, Charles A.:
New York, (New York)
to John J. Kain Bishop of:
Wheeling, W(est) V(irgini)a
Wingerter feels honored to be asked to prepare a paper on "The Social Question" for the Columbian Catholic Congress, as a representative of the diocese of Wheeling. He is not certain which of the subjects under the topic he will choose, and asks the Bishop for a suggestion.

Kernan, Joseph A.:
N(ew) Y(ork), (New York)
to W(illiam) J. Onahan:
(Chicago, Illinois)
Kernan accepts the task of talking for the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, at the (Columbian) Catholic Congress, but distrusts his own ability. He shall endeavor to do his best. The subject is intimately connected with the "Social question" and mission of the Society, which is not well known, even by the clergy.

Mahony, Martin ( ):
to (William J.) Onahan:
(Chicago, Illinois)
Mahony asks Onahan's opinion on an enclosed article, as an "effort to spread the Light." If Onahan knows of any better, he should tell Mahony, to save him the cost of fixing the above mentioned. Onahan is asked to put in a good word for the Manifesto. If possible, Mahony will come to Chicago. The thing commenced in these Catholic manifestoes is the best done for the spread of Catholic truth and smothering anti-Catholic slanders since B(isho)p England's Catholic Miscellanies. Onahan should give the Catholic press the benefit of his thought. (No enclosure.)

Anna Sadlier shall endeavor to fulfill Onahan's request and prepare a paper on the influence of Catholic women in Canadian History. If not confined to America, women of the Middle Ages or of the Renaissance would be of interest. She asks Onahan advice on these subjects.

Riordan, Patrick W., Archbishop of:
San Francisco, Cal(ifornia)
to William J. Onahan:
(Chicago, Illinois)
The Archbishop declines to participate in the (Columbian Catholic) Congress. He may not go to the Archbishops meeting, nor any place else unless compelled. He fears that the Congress might cause another newspaper war. He says, "Let those who love the vulgarity of demagogery give expression to their liberal view on social questions." He has out loose from such gatherings. He is disgusted and sees no hope until new men, who have an idea of the dignity of their position, are in authority - men who shall emulate the great Bishops who laid the foundations of the Church. He does not know what to think about the Pope's Encyclical, - a difficult question to treat without incurring hostile criticism. It is not expected that a great Catholic Congress will sound forth the appeals to the mob and denunciations of the rich. There will be a number who will be delegated as interpreters of the Papal Encyclical.

Hyde, John:
Chicago, (Illinois)
to (Henry F.) Brownson:
Detroit, (Michigan)
Hyde sees that Brownson's book of selections from (Orestes A. Brownson's) works has been published, but no copy has come to The New World. It ought to have a large sale, though trivial stuff seems to be the most popular with the people. The New World subscription list has passed 25,000, and more than a thousand new names are added each week. Hyde hopes Brownson is in good health and that he has not been scandalized by the late "conspiracy". All Detroit must be congratulating the editor of the Michigan Catholic on his acquirement of a second wife, with money. He asks how Jim Randall's libel suit against him is going.

Barry, K. W.:
Chicago, Ill(inois)
to Henry F. Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
It is the purpose of the Catholic Educational Exhibit (Chicago, Illinois) at the World's Fair to have a complete collection of works in English, by Catholic authors. Brownson is respectfully invited to aid this object by contributing one each of his publications and if possible one each of the late O(restes) A. Brownson's works. No adequate compensation can be made for this generosity, but Brownson will have served the cause of Catholicity and a similar opportunity will not in all probability again present itself in the history of the world. The Exhibit will form one of the most interesting features of the World's Fair, and will cover an area of forty thousand square feet. (Written for Bishop J(ohn) L. Spalding of Peoria, acting President.)

Elliott is obliged for the official call and programme of the (Columbian) Catholic Congress Onahan sent. He is interested in the subject of "Public and Private Charities" and remarks upon its importance. Elliott mentions the development of Charities, and mentions several prominent men associated with them, who could contribute valuable information. He would like to explain his views - especially on the burial of the poor.

to Henry F. Brownson:

He thanks Brownson for his reply of Feb. 1st and sympathizes with his condition. If it were not for the debts on their establishment, it would afford Huebscher the greatest pleasure to aid Brownson materially for the completion of his text book. With so many institutions in which philosophy is taught it is a wonder more voices are not heard as to the need of an English text book of sound, fundamental principles. Hill's work seems childish to him. He shall endeavor to advertise (Orestes A. Brownson)'s work and will send for another set for the student library as soon as he possibly can.

The coming of Brownson's book reminded him of his intention to write. He means to dip occasionally into the wise sayings of Brownson's illustrious father. He has ordered a little book of his own to be sent to Brownson. He is still hard at work, writing, writing, and trying to get printed before his death as much as possible of his stuff. When Brownson went from his house he left a fond savor of himself. His son, (Father) Lucian (Johnston) was ordained a priest last June in Rome and is now with them on a short visit from Cumberland, where the Cardinal placed him.

Monsignor Gadd acknowledges thankfully receipt of the "Official Call" of the Columbian Catholic Congress. He would like to accept the invitation but must wait for permission from the Bishops who shall meet in London. Even though Cardinal Manning, Monsignor Gadd's greatest friend, has died, he feels that he might be chosen to go to America. Cardinal Vaughan will also use his influence for the Monsignor, who was his former secretary. The Cardinal had secured the promotion of the Monsignor, who has "so many titles" he does "not know which to use."

Messmer, Bishop S(ebastian) G(ebhard):
Luxemburg, Wis(consin)
to Archbishop (Michael Augustine Corrigan:
New York, New York)
Messmer thanks (Corrigan) for his confidence and assures him of his sympathy. There are not 10 priests in the diocese who are not heart and soul with (Corrigan) in upholding the Church in America, and Catholic schools. They pray that the Spirit of Truth may enlighten the Holy Father. Messmer fears things will go further. Pope Leo XIII is an arisocrat and will not accept opposition. Messmer's only hope is that by reports from each Bishop, Leo may understand more clearly the true condition of the school-question. In that case, he would not hesitate to undo the harm done. This would also remove danger of the "red hat" going to St. Paul. Nothing is being done in regard to the creation of a new diocese in their province. Archbishop (Frederick F. Katzer) is afraid of an Irishman. Bishop (James) Schwebach does not like a big slice off LaCrosse. Bishop (John) Vertin and Messmer favor division. A new diocese with a Bishop of sound opinion able to speak English, German and French would help in the present battle. Their province was the main point of attack. One more suffragan would bring more respect. Messmer does not dare to write to Cardinal (Miecislas) Ledochowski. He places great confidence in Cardinal (Lucido) Parocchi. Father (John S.) Braun is acceptable to Messmer. He is sincere in his doctrine and above nationalism.

McQuaid, Bishop B(ernard) J(oseph):
Rochester, N(ew) Y(ork)
to Archbishop (Michael Augustine Corrigan:
New York, New York)
From the "Catholic News" it appears that things are likely to come out all right before long. The Holy Father is beginning to find out that he has been deceived and misled on the School Question and on other questions. No doubt Rome's account of Msgr. (Denis J.) O'Connell's snubbing is accurate. The other conspiracy is stirring up Archbishop (John) Ireland's party. They find that duplicity does not pay. Father (Edward J.) Hanna had not much to say about his visit to the University. It seems Msgr. (Francis) Satolli submitted Father (Edward) McGlynn's statement on the land question to four theologians of the University and they felt it not contrary to the Catholic faith. McQuaid feels Satolli will be recalled to Italy soon and given a red hat. (Corrigan) is blamed for all sorts of things. University people are determined to oust Msgr. (Joseph) Schroeder. Somebody told Satolli something McQuaid was reported to have said about the ( ) O'Flaherty affair. McQuaid removed the suspension at Satolli's request. Should the other fact about Cardinal (James) Gibbons become public, there would be evidence of clear deception. P.S. They are having a hot time in Buffalo. The Germans are after Father (Patrick) Cronin.

Cummings, Cook County, Ill(inois)
to Henry F. Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
He acknowledges with deep gratitude the receipt of "Literary Scientific and Political Views of Orestes A. Brownson" and congratulates Brownson on his selections. The work answers in a small compass the burning questions of their times and solves the political and social problems of the century. Society must be based either upon Christian principles or socialistic despotism. All that is good comes from Christian truth and morality. Reason demonstrates the utter failure of an atheistic state either to give or preserve human rights. He feels lonesome since J. J. Fitzgibbon died. Since his demise all conversations upon literary or scientific matters in his circle have ceased. He invites Brownson for a visit.

Jannes, Claudio:
Paris, (France)
to (Henry F. Brownson:

It was a happy thought to issue the "choice bits" of the works of Orestes (A.) Brownson. He enjoyed rereading the thoughts of a great man on all the great questions of the time and anything in this volume can now be pondered although it was written thirty-five years ago. It is the mark of genius! It is the same in Europe for Joseph de Maistre, a contemporary of Brownson's. He pays much attention to the problems of Catholics in the U.S. The English Catholic has become great — it was inevitable that he would prove equal to the test. He will not be able to go to the United States. The Exposition in Chicago should be magnificent but his work piles up and also family reasons keep him in France. In 1894 he may be able to make the voyage and visit his daughters.

to Archbishop (Michael Augustine Corrigan:

Ryan regrets he could not see (Corrigan) before his leaving on Tuesday morning. Ryan spoke to Cardinal (James) Gibbons about their being invited and he desired it heartily. Gibbons said that if (Corrigan) would say a word to (Charles) Dane of the "Sun" that paper would be gentle. Ryan had intended to see (Corrigan) and Gibbons together. While Ryan spoke to Gibbons the Freeman's Journal came with its article "Satolli the most Conspicuous Ecclesiastic in America." Gibbons feels overshadowed. The fact that Archbishop (John) Ireland alone voted for a delegate has weaned Gibbons somewhat from that party. The feeling on Father (Edward) McGlynn's restoration is intense. The note of Msgr. (Francis) Satolli inviting McGlynn to the University shows how little Satolli appreciates the real issues. (Corrigan)'s name was received warmly by the members of the Catholic Club here. Ryan was glad to hear his speech pleased (Corrigan) and may do some good. (The letter is marked) "Private."

There are well known ladies notably in general literature. A "Woman's Day" would tend to produce "cranks and pushers."

Modena, (Italy)
to (Henry F.) Brownson:

Tarducci wrote to the historical committee of Venice announcing the coming English translation in America of his work on Cabot. They have asked him to warn the translator not to forget to mention that the Italian edition was edited by the R(oyal) Committee on National History. The Committee wishes to have 2 or 3 copies of the translation; they could be sent direct. Perhaps as a consequence Brownson would be named the Committee's correspondent in America.

Walker, John Brisbane:
New York, (New York)
to (William J.) Onahan:
(Chicago, Illinois)
Walker would gladly read a paper before the Columbian Catholic Congress were he permitted to choose for a subject, "The Part Which the Church should Play in overturning the Evils of our Existing Social System." He also protests against the censorship of papers before presentation at the Congress as detracting from the value of original opinion; and states that such a practice would put both audience and speaker in an undignified position before the public. Men selected by the committee should have its confidence. He presents this view only on request of Archbishop (John L.) Spalding, who is a member of the Committee.

"Women's Congresses" will be done to death by the "Women's Auxiliaries." Some of the Catholic women that shall figure in them are not big fish.

Huebscher, O.S.E., Father Leo:
Mt. Angel, Marion County, Or(egon)
to Henry F. Brownson:
Detroit, Mich(igan)
Having been called to visit several of the Missions of Benedictine Sisters he was unable to answer Brownson's letter as soon as he wished. Brownson makes him long all the more for the appearance of the contemplated text book. Would it not be possible to interest some Eastern Maecenas? The terminology of the book should be in English. It was always painful for him to see the 'Professors of Philosophy' butcher the "ens ideale" until they got a 'made up' "ens ideale" independent of the former. That the philosophers of their schools do not go back of reflective thought and do not pay sufficient attention to objective evidence is another fundamental calamity. In consequence of this Kant's Criticism of the proofs for the existence of God still hold good. They declaim continually in the same old strain and would fain call the Kantians fools but nobody, except the credulous will believe them and scepticism gains ground. He orders a set of the works of (Orestes A.)Brownson.
