 2S<IB3Vi:OIi-A.3SriDXJ3ii^. 
 
 To Hie Grace the Archbishop, and their Lord- 
 ships the Bishops tf the Ecclesiastical Pro- 
 vince of Toronto : — 
 
 We the undersigned members of the Catho- 
 lic Church, having read with astoniahnent and 
 pain an appeal from Senators Smith and O'- 
 Donohoe to your Grace, and your Lordships, 
 beg to approach your Graca and your Lord- 
 ships most respectfully, and as Catholics pro- 
 test against the dieingenious and falsely 
 oloured statements contained in the address. 
 
 We {Totest against the assumption of these 
 gentleman in calling themselves representative 
 Catholics, for neither in the Senate, nor as 
 private citizena are they in a position to say 
 truly that they represent the Catholic body. 
 Neither of them has been in any Uianner au- 
 thorized by bishop, priest, or any body of 
 Catholics that we are aware of to speak or 
 act for them as Catholics. Hence we repudi- 
 ate their claim of being in any sense true re- 
 presentative Catholics. 
 
 OBJECTIONS TO MARMION. 
 
 We will pass over, as unworthy of notice, 
 many of the political views presented by these 
 self-styled representative Catholics, and come 
 to the true history of the position taken up by 
 your Grace on the politico- religious question ; 
 the religious portion of which was very adroit- 
 ly left out in the " Mamorandum " of the 
 Senators. 
 
 By an oversight in the Senate of Toronto 
 
 University, as your Grace has already stated^ 
 Scott's " Marmion" was placed on the list for 
 examination in the University, and Collegiate 
 institutes. Catholic pupils attend these in- 
 stitutions in very large numbers and were ex- 
 pected to analyze the narrative and every 
 sentiment and incident in the poem. ,>. 
 
 There are many passages in the work con- 
 taining references particularly ogensive to 
 Catholicrf and Catholic morality, for example, 
 breaking of vows by a nun, who became the 
 Mistress of Marmion in the guise of a page 
 her subsequent immuring within the walls of 
 her Convent, and the constquently atrocious 
 conduct of the priests in tuirying her alive, 
 the inferred adultery of Friar John, his 
 sacrilegious masses, and carousings, and the 
 amours ff the King with Lady Heron, fec^ 
 &c., all of which are surely suggestive of im« 
 purity. 
 
 Your Grase in conformity with your duty 
 as protector of the morals of the Catholic youth 
 objected to "Marmion" not as a literary 
 work — for in that sense it has many excellen- 
 cies — but as unfit to be placed in the hands of 
 Catholic pupils as a text book, and especially 
 when it was to be closely analyzed. 
 
 In conjunction with others, your Grace ap- 
 plied to the Hon., the Minister of Education, 
 pointing out why the book should be removed 
 from the curriculum of studies. The Minis- 
 ter on consideration suspended its study, and 
 when this became known the Mail newspaper, 
 the recognized chief organ of the Conservative 
 party, abused the Hon. Mr. Crooki in the 
 vilest manner, oalliog bim a donkey, and 
 
other name* whioh no renpectable journal 
 woold use, and oallioij your Grace a donkey 
 driver, etc., etc. 
 
 This paper atatss that no C<itho1ios of any 
 inteili|ieoce ever made any objection to the 
 work. It haa aaid not a biahop, nnr prieat, 
 nor profrasor, nor teacher, nor educated lay- 
 man, of the Catholis Church, haa offered a 
 ainiile proteat againat ' Marmion ' during the 
 whole of thia cjutroveray." 
 
 CATHOLIC PRIVILEOKS. 
 
 Ynnr Grace, we presume, not wishinp; that 
 the Hon. Mr. Crooka bhould be calumnated, 
 acknowledged from the pulpit that you had 
 a^ked for its removal. Upon this being pub- 
 lished the " Mail " poured the vileat abuse 
 and Blander upon your Grace, impugning 
 even your moral character, and charged you 
 with "scenting" out immorality where there 
 waa none, aa if it required pruriency to see 
 immorality in the breaking of the vows of a 
 nun and in the adultery of priests. 
 
 Bad Senators Smith and O'Donohoe ranged 
 themselves on the side of your Grace in con- 
 demning the introduction of what you 
 deemed objectionable literature into the 
 High Schools and University, then 
 indeed might they have claimed to be 
 on the side of Catholic interests in the 
 Senate. But how can we be expf^cted to 
 sympathize with these gentlemen who stood 
 coldly by, when they could have either pre- 
 vtnted the scurrilous abuse which was daily 
 poured on your Grace by their party organ, 
 or have protested against it The senators 
 complained of the abuse of the Globe some 
 twenty years ago, but not a word of complaint 
 of ^he scurrilous abuse of your Grace by their 
 organ, the Mail, for the last two months. 
 
 The "Mail" newspaper dragged the Catholic 
 question on the political platform, and at the 
 end cf every vile and abusive article proclaim- 
 ed th!.t "Mowat must go," "Crooks must go." 
 In other words the Liberal Government must 
 be put out of power in Ontario because it had 
 the fairness to listen to your Grace's 
 objections to the study of " Marmion " 
 as a text book and a Government must be put 
 in power, which judging by the Mail would 
 nut iistea to any remonstrances or suggestions, 
 however reasonable, from Catholics on the 
 subject of the education of Catho<io youth. 
 
 THB BASTARD CATHOLICS. 
 
 In the recent elections it became therefore 
 a test question with the electorate, whether 
 the liberal government should suffer in conse- 
 quence of its just treatment of the Catholics 
 in common with the other people of this 
 province. It is not to be wondered at then 
 that the Catholioa when so challenged at the 
 polls, showed that their Catholic consciences 
 were dearer to them than mere political party 
 allegiance, and the result has proved that 
 your Grace haa the entire sympathy of your 
 
 people in your efforts for their educational 
 
 rl^<hts. 
 
 Your Grace is falsely reported by the Mail 
 as having said that Conaervative Catholics 
 were ' 'bastard" Catholics. We are aware|that 
 what your Grace did say was that there were 
 bastard Catholioa who would sell their con- 
 sciences and relieion for place and power. 
 The Mail as the recognized organ of the Con- 
 servative party in this province is supposed to 
 represent the political views of that party, 
 and such being the case, it is quite reasonable 
 for Catholics to conclude that their just and 
 equal rights in educational and other matters 
 would be seriously endangered if the holders of 
 such views were in power, and it is but 
 fair to say that if the Mail did not express 
 the sentiments of the leaders of the Conserva- 
 tive party, it would have been easy to have 
 stopped its continuous and oft repeated abuse 
 of your Grace and Catholics in general. 
 
 Your Grace truly said that all tru 
 Catholics take moral teaching from their bis- 
 hops and not from newspaper writers. Your 
 Grace we are sure has never said that Catholics 
 should under pain or penalty, vote for any poli- 
 tical party. So far from this being the case 
 you have frequently said that it was quite 
 natural to see Oj^i holies en both sides of poli- 
 tico, and we konw that Catholics in the Local 
 Legislature are divided in party politics, which 
 might not ba the case if Your Grace 
 was a political pirtizan. 
 
 Catholips would not be true to themselves 
 in politics if t'lty would be content with 
 having a few members of their body in power 
 (and only a few can attain these positions) 
 who would be satistied to remaiu as subservi* 
 ent followers of » Government, and would al- 
 low the rights of the Catholic people to be 
 violated. 
 
 THE archbishop's DUTT. ^ 
 
 If Your Grace had sacrificed your consci- 
 ence as guardian of the Catholic youth of the 
 province, or — when you did try to have this 
 objectirnable book removed — had hidden 
 yourself behind the Hon. Mr. Crooks, and 
 permitted that eentleman to bear all the 
 odium sought to be attached by the Conser- 
 vative organ to a fair and ju^t act on the part 
 of the Mowat Government, and that liberal 
 ministrv, suffer for doing justice to all, then in- 
 deed Your Grace and Lordships would not 
 have been troubled with an address from 
 Senators Smith and O'Donohoe. For wbat- 
 ever measure of justice, Catholics as such have 
 received from either political party hitberto, 
 we have reason to believe that they are grate- 
 ful, but we think that they will not change 
 their conscientious political convictions, at the 
 beck and call of any set of men who happen to 
 be office-holders, however exalted may be the 
 position to which any government or leader 
 may have appointed them. 
 
 The presumptions lecture given Your Grace 
 aad Lordships on politics by Senators Smith 
 and O'Donohoe appears to ns qaite uncalled 
 
for. Wa feel confident that you will oontinae, 
 while taking a deep interest in the welfare of 
 ';ii!"..il our common country, to exercise a faithful 
 
 vigilance in protecting the ohirj^e enstrusted 
 to your keeping, and in guardins agaiuat all 
 itiproper iiiflucnces from the eduoatioo of our 
 
 children. 
 
 We also take this occasion to protest against 
 a circular issued by these gentleoien some 
 months ago addresbed to Catholics of the 
 Djminioo, and directing them hnw to vote at 
 the elections then peudins. We utter this 
 protest as C It holicn and citizens, recognizing 
 with much thankfulness that we labor under 
 no statutory disabilities in consequence of our 
 faith, but enjoy eq'ial rights with our non- 
 Catholic fellow citizens, and we look on such 
 appeals to Catholics as presumptious and in- 
 jurious, and]ik«ly, only to emanate from am- 
 bitious and vain men who desire to use the 
 Catholic name for party and personal pur- 
 poses. 
 
 CATHOLICS IN POLITICS. 
 
 We do not complain of any fair political 
 action on the part uf these gentlemen, but «ve 
 d<) firmly protest against the unauthorized use 
 of the Catholic name, by designing politicans, 
 wltose whole aim is the attainment of political 
 preferment and power. 
 
 Catholics whilst one in faith, miy not bo 
 of one mind in party politics, nor is such to 
 be expected except when questions arit'C in 
 the politics of tbe country which seriousy 
 affect Catholics as such, and in this couneu- 
 tion we cannot refrain from expressing to 
 Your Grace and Lordships, how much the 
 Catholic people of tliis province owe yuu for 
 your watchfulness over the educational in- 
 terests of their children, and your courage iu 
 maintaining your characters as "the watchmen 
 ou the tower" when the rights of our people 
 as a religious minority were assailed. 
 
 We subjoin herewith extracts* from the 
 "Mail" newspaper abundantly proving the 
 vile and scandalous character of the aktanks 
 which in this connection have by the leading 
 C onservative organ been made not alone upon 
 your Grace, but like^x'ise upon their Lordships 
 of Peterboro' and Kingston, and also upon 
 the Hon. Ministor of Education. 
 
 In conclusion, as children of the Catholic 
 Church, we beg to express to your Grace and 
 Lordships our feelings of profound veneration 
 and obedience, and we beg to add our great 
 sorrow that any person claiming to be of our 
 body should, without the slightest justifica- 
 tion, have 80 wantonly committed the un- 
 Catholic ac*; of accusing your Grace of being a 
 mere political partisan, and whilst recognizing 
 the right of every citizen to choose for him- 
 self whatever political party he may think 
 best for the welfare of the country, we are 
 of opinion that no political exigency can justly 
 so gross and unwarranted an attack on your 
 Grace as that contained in the document ad- 
 dressed to your Grace and Lordships by 
 Senators Smith and O'Donohoe, whosa pre 
 
 sumption we feel sure, finds no echo in tbe 
 breast of any true Catholic in the Dominion. 
 
 We have the honor to be, with the hii(hest 
 respect and veneration, your Grace and Lord- 
 ship's devoted,

 ANTI-CATHOLIC CRU3ADS OF THE MAIL. 
 
 The following extracts are from the Mail 
 newspaper, the avowed and accepted or^an 
 of the Conservative party, not only in Ontario 
 but the Dominion of Canada at large. They 
 show tbe lengths to which that organ is pre 
 pared to go to make capital, reckless in doing 
 so whether or not it insult the Catholics of 
 Ontario, or heips the vilest abuse upon the 
 distinguished prelate at their head, provided 
 party (.urposes may be subserved. We make 
 no comment on tliese extracts for the obvioni 
 reason that it is entirely unnecessary.

 •• but to cover up the braying of the educa- 
 tional donkey which is called Crooks under

 " Mr. Crooks with his addled train has con- 
 trived to injure every portion of the educa-

 He is a flighty man almost iriesponsible &o. 
 "For his acts the entire Government is re-

 AN IDIOTIC ACT. ' 
 
 Mr. Crooks has interdicted "Marmion," 
 every form of protest is raised against the 
 outrage ; laughter and scorn and indignation 
 and suspicion are all alive against so idiotic an 
 act. Marmio3 is one of Sir Walter Scotts 
 finest poems, and we have read it again 
 and again without a thought of the 
 moral turpitude that migbt be found in it by 
 tbe ingenious seeker after evil ideas 7 We 
 have read of a Chinese people who burn 
 down their houses in order to roast their pigs, 
 Mr. Crooks is ready to sacrifice a great Scotch 
 writer all Scotch literature if it comes to that 
 iu order to further his ends.

 His Grace ocndemned the book on 
 Sunday and the Ulobe gave a oondensed 
 report of his remarkB upon the impropriHty< 
 of putting Buoh a book iu the hands of stu* 
 dents. On this the Mail ridicules the Qov> 
 ernment for being dictated to by Archbishop 
 Lynch, where his Grace only remonstrated, 
 and the Mail ooutinues "Mr. Crooks is e\ri. 
 dently not fit to control the educational affairs 
 of Ontario, when he is so manifestly under 
 the control of those who, however earnest and 
 pious they may be, have not been entrusted 
 with the guidance of the Mowat Government 
 by the people of Ontario, and for these reasons 
 it is obviously the present duty of Mr. Crooks 
 to resign and of Mr. Mowat to demand his 
 
 resignation."

 , r THE DONKEY AND HIS DRIVER. " " ' 
 
 Remarking on a letter of " Another 
 Catholic," in answer to the observations 
 of a Catholic, the Mail quotes "conferences" 
 from Father Faber, "to give scandal is a great 
 fault but to take scandal is a greater fault," 
 &c., and the Mail knew by a private letter 
 that the "Other Catholic" was tho Archbishop 
 himself. "We challenge anyeducated or even 
 commonly intelligent person whoso imac;iiia- 
 tion is healthy and pure to read them and say 
 that they oxcito improper feelings. Catholic 
 morality is far more robust than our corres- 
 pondent thinks it is and Catholic intelligence 
 comprehends the fact that tobnng thn Church, 
 as our correspondent does, forward as the 
 "authority for so novel, so untenable, and so 
 ridiculous a position as that of ' Another 
 Catholic' (the Archbishop) is to do it a great 
 injustice. Perhaps his Grace would not have 
 taken the position (condemning Marmion) had 
 he not felt disposed to give Mr. Crooks a taste 
 of his authority. When you have a donkey 
 that will go if you w)up him it is often very 
 tempting to give him a taste of the stick. 
 Mi. Crooks is the donkey that goes and his 
 Grace is his driver. The spectacle is one, 
 however, that is not palatable to the public. 
 Marmion is doomed beyond redemption,thank8 
 to the Archbishop, but what is to be said of a 
 department which, not content with the im- 
 morality of the text, rubs it in by salacious 
 reminders ! speaks of Archbishops cuteness in 
 finding out coriuption where there is none." 
 
 Sept. 28lh. 
 
 A QUESTION ASKED. 
 
 "In protesting against Marmion his Grace 
 was doing what he deemed his duty. He had 
 influence and be used it. He probably knew 
 the mental calibre of Mr. Crooks. . . . 
 How many High Sobool masters make an 
 Archbishop ?"

 " THE CATHOLICS ARE WITH US." 
 
 " But Mr. Crooks and his organ, for a poli- 
 tioal purpose, has submitted to an absurd 
 demand. The Catholics in this case are, we 
 venture to say, with us by an overwhelming 
 majority. They recognize the fact that a 
 great mistake has been made. They do not 
 agree with the denunciation of the poem in 
 question. There is not, we venture to say, 
 an educated lay Catholic in Ontario, and very 
 few even in the priesthood, who would not 
 endorse every line that has appeared in the 
 Mail on this question." 
 
 Oct. 5th. 
 
 AND MOWAT MUST ALSO GO. 
 
 "The first part of the price (of heeding 
 Archbishop Lynch'a remonstrances) is the 
 deposition of Mr. Crooks. He must go ; the 
 second part is the dethronement of Mr. 
 Mowat who has been led by Mr. Crooki. He 
 too must go." .,_! ^ , . ., 
 
 Oct. 4th. 
 
 AN OUTRAGE ON "CULTURED LITERARY TASTE." 
 
 "The Roman Catholics never made any 
 dem.-xnd for the withdrawal of Marmion. The 
 solo protest was that of the Archbishop, that 
 and nothing more. The proteat was unten- 
 able by any argument tit to be addressed 
 to any intelligent minister of the crown. 
 It is a protest we feel sure is not joined 
 in by any considerable number of the 
 priesthood or the people. During all the 
 controversy not a single lay Roman 
 Catholic has endorsed the Archbishop's 
 opinion. We protest against the interdiction of 
 Marmion as an outrage on cultured literary 
 taste, as an outrage on Walter Scott. It is 
 an insult to the University, Senate &c. We 
 de-.iy that Catholics generally object to Mar- 
 mion, and we assert that they are humiliated 
 at the assertion that they do object. We 
 indignantly object to Mr. Crooks, because he 
 is so openly ruled by an Archbishop, not 
 elected by the people to su3h a position over 
 Mr. Crooks. Mr. Crooks must go."

 THE SCOT'TIlH AMERICAN SAYS SO, TOO. 
 
 From the Scottish American, quoted 
 hv v.ne Mail : " To some illiberal 
 Catholics, Marmion is not very acjeptable, 
 though it ic a martial poem. It incidently 
 portrays convents, monks, and priests, in a 
 manner too truthful to be pleasing to them. 
 They cannot say, that they are purely 
 imaginary places and beings that had onlv ex- 
 istence in the poet's fertile brain. Their 
 realities are to be met with and therein lies 
 the bitterness of Marmion to many liomau 
 Catholics."

 THK AKCHBISHOP SHOWS THE EXTREME 
 PKURIENCY OF IGNORANCE. 
 
 From the Sprinafteld Republican, 
 quoted by the Mail : " It is the extreme 
 of pruriency of ignorance to condemn Mar- 
 mion. From the "Christian At Work." "It 
 has remained for the Roman Catholic Aroh- 
 bishop Lynch of Toronto, to discover for the 
 ' first time that Scott's great masterpiece 
 Marmion, is an immoral poem, and unfit for 
 use in the Ontario Higa Schools, . . . Now 
 in |the name of all the virtues and in the 
 interests of all the oouscious prudishness that 
 ever caused a modest Archbishop to blush, 
 we should like to know what there is in this 
 incident to arouse the wrathful falminations 
 of a Roman Catholic primate. What is there 
 that is calculated to imperil youthful Catho- 
 lic souls or shako the dome of St. Peter's, 
 that the Archbishop aroused from his sweot 
 serenity should denonunce one of the sweetest 
 a;jd loveliest of poems that ever crystalized 
 from off a poet's pen ? 
 
 THE HIGH MINDED LYNCH. 
 
 And if the pure high minded Lynch cannot 
 euduie the bliaking and winking in Marmion, 
 how can he tolerate the story of David or 
 iluth and Naomi in his Bible ' How can 
 he endure Shakespeare ? How can he give 
 Homer a place in his library, or scan a line 
 i^t the a-Eaeid. And it is r lastinji; shame and 
 disgrace to the Canadian education officials 
 that they should have listened to this pre- 
 latial priest, who finds, impurity where the 
 pure have not found it, and banished Marmion 
 from the schools. A great many fools have 
 passed away in their day and are as insensate 
 and dead as the mossy marble of their graves. 
 
 THE ARCHBISHOP THE GEBATESr OF LIVING 
 FOOLS, 
 
 but of all living ones we should judge the pruri- 
 ent Archbishop bears the palm, unless, indeed 
 his folly is surpassed by the foolishness of the 
 Canadian official. It will be a grand result 
 of this affair if it shall send back an army of 
 readers to the pages of this preat poet, who 
 will be read so long as the English literature 
 endures, and who in imaginative power is 
 second to scarcely any writer except Homer 
 and Shakespeare."

 NICE READING FOxv CATHOLICS. 
 
 In a letter from Vincent Clement he quotes 
 Sir Walter Scott's note to canto II, stanza 
 25. "It is well known that the religeuse 
 who broke their vows of chastity were sub- 
 jected to the same penalty as the Roman 
 vestals in a similar case. A small niche suf- 
 ficient to enclose their bodies was made in the 
 massivd wall of the convent, a slender pittance 
 of food and water was deposited in it, and 
 the awful words " Vade in Pace " were the 
 signal for immuring fiho criminal."

 THE ITNIVBR8ITY VOTE. 
 
 "The University, by a vote of ten against 
 eight, continued Marmion on their books. So 
 there were eight noodles in the University ; 
 amongst them, Dr. Wilson, the president of 
 the college, the vice-chancellor. Dr. Mnlock. 
 He calls on Mr. Crooks to resign his ofhce."

 HIS GRACE IN A NEW role. 
 
 Rails at the back-stairs dictation of the 
 Roman Catholic Archbishop.

 HIS GRACE LACKS LITERARY CtJLTCRB. 
 
 " His Grace's conduct, indeed, has been 
 so indiscreet, so partisan, so unfair, so regard- 
 less of learning, culture or refinement, and so 
 dangerous to the true interests of the Catho- 
 lic Church in Canada, that we venture 
 frankly to recommend the consideration of his 
 Grace's conduct to the Ecclesiastical Council 
 of the Province. But we will challenge his 
 Grace or any other citizon of Toronto to point 
 out anything in the Mail since the beginning 
 of this controversy which has been unkind, 
 unfair, untruthful, ungenerous, or that has 
 not been a legitimate literary argument 
 decently used, and repeat that not a priest," 
 &c., &c., 
 
 AND STANDS ALONE IN THE DISPUTE. 
 
 "His Grace is actmg quite alone, without the 
 sympathy or support of the hierarchy, the 
 priesthood or the people, and it is this which 
 makes his conduct the more reprehensible 
 and indetenaible." 
 
 EVERY SCHOOL-BOY LAUGHS AT HIM. 
 
 His literary position is laughed at by every 
 school-boy in Canada. He has brought for- 
 ward the Catholic Church, which prides itself 
 on the healthy purity of its teachings, as the 
 patron of a charge of impurity which every 
 refined and pure mind rejects and which is 
 accepted only by those whose imaginations 
 are too easily excited. Literary citicism 
 refuses him its aid, purity of mind shrinks 
 from the association." .... (The rest 
 is exceedingly offensive.

 THE '.' MAIL " APPEALS TO AN ECCLESIASTICAL 
 COUNCIL. 
 
 "Are we not fully justified in saying that the 
 Ecclesiastical Council of the province should 
 take some action, if for no other purpose than 
 to save the interests of the Catholic Church 
 from being sold ? "

 HIS GRACE DEMORALIZING HIS PEOPLE. 
 
 " We venture to insist that nine-tenths, at 
 least, of all educated Roman Catholics look>n 
 the action cf the Archbishop as hasty, indis- 
 creet, unfortunate, and lamentable ; on his 
 oonduot in the pulpit as undignifiedand ha- 
 
miliating ; and on his demoralizing barter of 
 their volea to Mr. Crooks ai a degradation 
 they have no means of adequately reaenting."

 ' ^ AND BARTERIKO THEIR BUrrRAQES. 
 
 ' " The Archbishop made it clear that the re- 
 putation of Walter Scott and the merits of his 
 nnest poem were to be offered up asasacrific* 
 by Mr. Crooks to the Archbishop's pansion for 
 dabbhng in |iublic affairs ; while His Grace 
 was ready to barter away the dignity of iiis 
 position, the sacredness of his pulpit, the re- 
 presentation of his people, and the serene 
 purity of his Cburoh in aid of the vulgar Qrit 
 oombination in Toronto."

 <> BISHOP JAMOT ABUSED. 
 
 After questioning the correctness of his let- 
 ter to the Archbishop and «aying that 4ie 
 would put him through a critical examination 
 " he must excuse us," said the Mail, " if we 
 ask if logic was taught in his college, and if 
 charity enters largely )into his mental charac- 
 teristics. Id j I St one sentence Bishop Jamot 
 has Btartod half a dozen of untenable argn- 
 mentB,evtiry phrase is inaccurate, almost eveiy 
 word misleading."

 AND BISHOP CLEARY LACKS CTTLTITRE. 
 
 " We are accnatomed to associate with the 
 titlo of a bishop the greatest of public onliure 
 and the dignity and scholarship uf an hiatorio 
 office. In the lecture as reported these ar« 
 omitted. Mure thaa that, he has gros"iy 
 otfendeu against prupriety by omitting every 
 semblance of logical argument."

 HOW AJICRBISHOP LTNCH LACKS WIT. 
 
 "A reverend prelate who had not wit enough 
 to keep Mr. Crooka' secrets of office, and not 
 discretion enough to keep a brother bishop's 
 letter private, should not be rash enough to 
 question the soundness of any other person's 
 wits. There are hundreds of people in various 
 lunatic asylumus who lie under the impress- 
 ion that all the world is mad ; the number of 
 the unwise is infinite. If His Grace does not 
 mind be may bave to go a-tramping in conse- 
 quence of so recklessly exposing bis partners' 
 bands." 
 
 And so g:es on the Mail, the avowed organ 
 of the Conservative party* heaping abuse 
 and contumely on the veneraHe bead of the 
 man of all others the Cath.i..os of Ontario 
 hold dear, the man and the men respected 
 universally e\en by Protestants, until one 
 has to turn away in disgust. His Grace the 
 Archbishop of Toronto has not the intellect 
 of a poodle-dog, he is a "booby or bad mind- 
 ed" if he does not condemn the action of Mr. 
 Crooks, as are all Catholies who do not endorse 
 
 the uqeof Marmion as a text book. He is the 
 " nominal head of the Catholics." The Bishop 
 of Kingston is devoid of culture, the Bishop 
 of Peterborough lacks logic. The Mail says 
 so, and the Mail is the acknowledged organ 
 of the Conservatives of Canada. As we have 
 remarked in the introduction to those ex- 
 tracts from the organ, comment is unnecessary.

 AND MAKINO A SPECTACLE OF HIMSELT. 
 
 " As to Archbishop Lynch. The nublic ob- 
 ject to his using the pulpit of his cathedral as 
 a political platform. He took the swiftest 
 step he could take to turn into a political onn- 
 trovers}* what had, up to the time of his pul- 
 pit stump-speeobes, been a purely literary 
 question. If there is anv politics in this dis- 
 cussion, the fault is his and Mr. Crooks'. If 
 there is any "bigotry" awake, the fault is 
 pre-eminently his alone. He had no more 
 business to assume that Mr. Crooks represent- 
 ed a whole party than he had to ansume that 
 the Mail's action was taken for political rea- 
 sons. Mr. Crooks may and probably will h^ 
 driven out. Mr. Mowat may not be even 
 sustained in the conriinfi; S'^ssion. Bat Arch- 
 bishofi Lynch flung him«ielf into his pulpit., 
 raised a cry of "Orange " persecuiion, iuRnU 
 ted Proiestant feeling, outraged Conservative 
 Catholic feeling, and made a spectacle ot him- 
 self."
