to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):

Spalding has read the clipping from the "Sun" with interest. It is again announced that Archbishop (John) Ireland is to be made a cardinal. He would be glad to see him made anything that would keep him silent. He feels sorry for Father (Walter) Elliott, (C.S.P.). Father (John A.) Zahm, (C.S.C.), talks of running over to Peoria. Can Spalding not induce Hudson to come also?

Father John Talbot Smith has just finished his course of lectures and left for Chicago. In all probability he will visit Notre Dame as he promised Spillard that he would do so. Smith was a great success in New Orleans and was Spillard's guest. Smith will appreciate the compliment if asked to talk to the students at Notre Dame. Rumor has it that Father Morrissey has gone to Ireland and that Father French is ill. Holy Cross College is booming. They will be compelled to build one of their projected wings if the boom lasts.

to H(enry) F. Brownson:
(Detroit, Michigan)
White thanks Brownson for the check for $36 and asks him not to put the bill of (John) Jordan into the hands of a collection agency until White advises him further. Jordan is the city editor of the Truth, is the brother of the I. I. Jordan, who, with Eugenia Barrett, owns the paper and the building in which it is published, and they all own fine residences. John owns some very valuable tracts of building lots, and though he may on this account be short of funds, White thinks he is perfectly safe; he is a first class book buyer and always pays up.

Maes, Bishop Camillus P(aul):
Covington, K(entuck)y
to Father Daniel E. Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
The Catholic on the committee is to present a list of books, slipping in as many Catholic books as he can. Hudson has more of a Catholic instinct than those prominent Catholics have. To know the human personality of the Pope is always a drawback to faith in his divine office. Did Hudson see how Archbishop (John) Ireland makes the Pope's letter the text for a "Gratias agamus"? He thanks him for condemning the idea of Americanism foolishly conceived by his detractors and for upholding Americanism such as he understands it. The Bishop Joseph Rademacher episode is only a tiny drop in the cup of woe.

Bonnet, Father Joseph:
(New York, New York)
to Archbishop (Michael Augustine Corrigan:
New York, New York)
Bonnet encloses (no enclosure) a letter from a distinguished priest who is going to publish a book on Americanism. He intends sending (Corrigan) a copy. (Corrigan) was right in thinking Archbishop (John) Ireland was safe at the hands of the Holy See. He received a strong lecture. Bonnet feels grieved at the stand the Paulists have taken that the errors condemned by the Pope are not to be found in the original life of Father (Isaac) Hecker. Bonnet could not bring the Sun to publish a list of quotations for the sake of fair play. In the secular press there is a purpose to conceal the true import of the teachings of the Pope. The Catholic press is also very cold. They have reached a crisis in the American Church. Father (Walter) Elliott should follow the example of Ireland and Abbe (Felix) Klein.

to Bishop B(ernard) J. McQuaid:
(Rochester, New York)
(Corrigan) received McQuaid's telegram in response to his letter. The collective letter to the Holy Father went by this morning's steamer. The general idea was one of thankfulness to the Pope for his zeal in meeting the error of Americanism and that he would be spared to see the fruit of his labors. He has learned in strict confidence that the Pope wanted Archbishop (John Ireland) of St. Paul to leave Rome but if yesterday's papers are correct he is still there. (Corrigan) has also learned that Dr. (John A.) Zahm has been summoned to Rome where he will be required to retract and repudiate the doctrines in his books, or they will be condemned by the Holy Office.

Doyle, W(illia)m T.:

to (Henry F. Brownson):
(Detroit, Michigan)
Doyle thanks Brownson for his kindness and promptness in answering his letter. He has tried to get a copy of St. Anselm's works, but at the (Marquette?) College there is only a mutilated copy of his Monologium. Father (Henry W.) Otting, S.J., wishes to start with ens as the first element of thought since it is ens in genere which is presented to the mind. Doyle explains the quotations given in his last letter, and explains the controversy with Father Otting on the soul of man. He has been reading Charles Maignens's "Father Hecker, Is He a Saint?" and asks what Brownson thinks of it. There is a great deal of careless speech indulged in by certain ecclesiastical dignitaries, as careless as Doyle's first letter to Brownson in 1883 or 1884. He asks whether Brownson has read Wilfred Ward's "William George Ward and the Oxford Movement" and "Ward and the Catholic Revival." Christian Doctrine in his List of Cardinal Wiseman, but he does not give (Orestes A. Brownson)'s name. A statement on page 128 of Maignen should be corrected about his entering Catholicism with a difficulty, the solution of which he would not seek. Doyle asks whether Longmans or Scribner could not advertise Brownson's life better than Henry is able to do.

The edition of 1878 of Newman's work on the Development of Christian Doctrine has some changes in text, and Doyle offers to make the corrections for Brownson. He will look up Dr. ( ) Forbes's letter and forward it.

Elliott, Richard R.:
Detroit, (Michigan)
to Professor J(ames) F. Edwards:
Notre Dame, (Indiana)
Since some historian may seek light on the history of the see of Detroit and Sault de Sainte Marie during the years 1853-57, The Catholic Vindicator of Detroit gives a fair outline of those years. Elliott has paged and indexed these volumes and placed them in the (University) of Detroit College, conducted by the Jesuits. Elliott encloses a copy of those indexes for the Catholic Archives of America. (Elliott adds a brief account of his connections with the Catholic Vindicator). Because of the anti-Catholic crusade in 1852 it was desired to have a Catholic newspaper in Detroit and Father St. Michael Edgar Evelyn Shawe, the pastor of the Cathedral, was instructed by Bishop (Peter Paul Lefevere to carry out the project. Not finding funds in Detroit, Shawe made arrangements for (Daniel) O'Hara of Chicago to publish it with payments from the subscribers. The business management was given to Richard F. O'Bierne. The first issue announced the death of Shawe. Lacking English cleargy the paper was taken over by Captain E.P. Scammon of the Army and O'Bierne. Gardner Jones of the University of Notre Dame became editor. The next year the paper was printed in Detroit in a shop set up under (James F.) Ballantyne for $1,500. The Bishop gave also $200. O'Hara asked for his $1,500 so that a Catholic Institute was incorporated and stock sold to meet the costs. Elliott, when the Vindicator was up for sale to pay O'Hara's mortgage rights, had his attorney, John S. Newbury, bid in the lowest sum, $1,000 for the paper. Dr. William Hassett of Cincinnati replaced Jones as editor but was indolent and convivial. Father James Hennessey, Thomas Chase, and Elliott, with the assistance of O'Bierne got out the paper. In the election of 1856 following the Catholic Telegraph of Cincinnati and Father Edward Purcell, the Vindicator supported James Buchanan for the presidency. There were 16 Catholic weeklies and one Catholic daily, the St. Louis Leader. (Thomas) D'Arcy McGee's American Cel was neutral. The Bishop was not consulted and he favored McGee.The Bishop from his pulpit on August 24, 1856 denounced the Vindicator. In the issue of September 6, the Vindicator announced that it was no longer a diocesan paper. The Bishop advised the subscribers that they did not have to pay their subscription dues and interdicted the paper from Catholic families. The subscriptions increased. Elliott thinks Arch bishop (John Baptist) Purcell called upon the Bishop to explain his conduct. Placed in this false position Elliott sold the paper to Cornelius O'Flynn for $2,000 but was never paid fully. Elliott thinks that the paper did good work. When Buchanan made Governor Cass his Secretary of State, he made O'Bierne his secretary and that caused Elliott to give up the paper. This note is signed Detroit, September, 1893. (The indexes are in four little booklets totaling 8, 7, 11, and 19 pages).

Brandi, S.J., Father S(alvatore) M.:
Rome, (Italy)
to Archbishop (Michael Augustine Corrigan:
New York, New York)
The Osservatore published last night the letter (Corrigan) addressed to the Holy Father. Brandi knows that the Holy Father was pleased with it and said so to those around him. Brandi can assure (Corrigan) that it has been read by all with satisfaction. The substance was good but the form might have been better. The Voce della Verità published it this morning and Brandi will republish it in their next number. (Archbishop John Ireland) of St. Paul has been away from Rome for some time. Before going to Naples he tried his very best to prevent the publication of Brandi's article. He wrote to the Cardinal Secretary of State who was glad that the article was already printed and could not a be changed. Anticipating some abuse the Holy Father has addressed the Civiltà a magnificent brief signing it on the same day that the article on Americanism appeared. There is no doubt about the decree of the Holy office condemning Father (John A.) Zahm's "Evolution and Dogma" but it has not been published because of the intercession of his superiors in France who have promised to get Zahm to repudiate the work and to submit to the same retraction that Fr. Leroy, O.P. did in 1895. Brandi has been informed that such a retraction is to be signed in Rome before the Holy Office by Father Zahm. There everybody laughs at the telegrams sent from Rome to London or New York concerning great doings and red hats and the like of certain American prelates. It is worth noting that their reclamè in Rome is exclusively by anticlericals, protestants and masonic newspapers. The Pope, while not fully recovered, is doing quite well and attends to business with lucidity of mind.

Doyle was the messenger on St. Patrick's Day but was ashamed to make himself known. He encloses Forbes's letter, though it is of little moment. He did not anticipate Brownson's having any difficulty in procuring a copy of Newman; but the edition he is using is the 10th, published by Longmans, Green' Co. in 1897; be includes a list of annotations for Brownson's use. He wants Brownson to read (Charles) Magnien's "Father Hecker" in connection with (Orestes A. Brownson)'s articles on development. He mentioned Wilfred Ward's life of his father because in his opinion Ward and his father were both tarred with the same stick, as is also "Romanus," whom Magnien castigates. So many of the Jesuits have spoken highly of Newman's Essay, notably Father (Leopold) Bushart, S.J., and Father (William B.) Rogers, S.J., that Doyle is inducing Father (Henry W.) Otting, S.J., to read Brownson's Essays.
