UlilUbU I. tidbit i FROM Rheumatism C. H. King-, Water VaUay, Mi3S., cored by Ayer's Sarsaparilla "For five years, I suffered untold misery from muscular rheumatism. I tried every known remedy,, consulted the. best physi cians, visited Hot Springs, Ark., three times, spending $1000 there, besides doctors' bills; but could obtain only temporary relier. My flesh was wasted away so that I weighed only ninety-three pounds; my left arm and leg were drawn out of shape, the muscles sted up In knots. I was unable to self, except with assistance, and coidti only hobble about by using a cane. I had no appetite, and was assured, by the doctors, that I could not live. The pains, at times, were so awful, that I could procure relief only by means of hypodermic injec tions of morphine. I had my limbs bandaged in clay, in sulphur, in poultices; but these gave only temporary relief. After trying everything, and suffering the most awful tortures, I began to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Inside of two months, I was able to walk without a cane. In three months, my limbs began to strengthen, and In the course of a year, I was cured. My weight has increased to 165 pounds, and I am now able to do my full day's work as a railroad blacksmith." 'The Only World's Fair Sarsaparilla. A YEWS 1'ILLS cure Headache What la tlie A. P. A. Fortress? To the Editok : I would not think it worth while to notice Dr. Grant's reference to me in Wednesday's Chronicle, but for one thing. After the doctor had given some particulars concerning the origin of one of the monstrous A. P. A. frauds I had exposed in The Chronicle the day be fore, he added : "It is of such material Mr. Gourlay makes out his case. He doesn't attack our fortress." It is some- xning, men, mat i navo "maae out my case," but in heaven's name what is this "fortress?" It must be my mis- luriuue. x presume, out never listened to an A. P. A. lecture which did not contain one or more of the falsehoods I attacked in my letter, and some of these lectures contained other matter so abso lutely false and vile that their import cannot even be hinted at here. .For years I have read everything in the line of A. P. A. literature that has fallen in to my hands, including forged "Jesuit Oaths," fraudulent "Encycli cals" and "Instructions to Catholics," garbled and false quotations, cruel and uncharitable insinuations, which Bhowed abundantly that though their authors were dead set upon lying, they had not the horse sense to lie with decency and decorum ; but I have never, it would appear, been able to find out the citadel and fortress of the A. P. A. faith. If Dr. Grant, who disavows all connection with the A. P. A., weans by "fortress" the Catholic religion, I have nothing to flay. I am not a Catholic, and would not attempt to defend that religion for a moment; but when Dr. Grant, or any other man, attacks the rights that are guaranteed to every citizen by the state and national constitutions the right to enjoy all the privileges of American citi zenship without the imposition of of any religious test, I have something to say, and I have a right to say it. This viru lent and offensive recrudescence of Protestant ascendancy must be stamped out as a vile reptile, as a pernicious weed, as a miserable and hurtful exotic that can have no congenial home in a "nation conceived in liberty, and dedi cated to the proposition that all men are created equal." "It is of such material that Mr. Gourlay makes out his case," eaya Dr. Grant. Ah! Brother Grant, it is of just "such material" that I am compelled to make out my case. I could not notice everything in a short newspaper article; lie I might have pointed out that even your address in this city lacked the candor becoming your profession and ability. When you quoted from Dr. Doellinger you might have informed your audience that Dr.. Doellinger was outside the communion of the church of Rome when he wrote the works from which you quoted. When you quoted from the "Shepherd of the Valley," you might have added that Dr. Bakeman, the editor of that periodical, who is still living, has put it on record, over his own signature, that the extracts in question never appeared in the "Shepherd of the .Valley" nor in any paper over which he ever bad editorial control. When you quoted Bishop Hughes' fulminations against the free schools of New York you might have explained that bis attacks were against what were - strictly sec tarian, Protestant schools, supported from-the public treasury, and that eo successful was bis attack that the present non-sectarian schools were established a short time after. You might have ex plained that the same Bishop Hughes, on November 1, 1841, a little before the New York legislature abolished the sec tarian school system against which the bishop had fought, published a card in the city of New York in which' he said : -'Bishop Hughes does not permit him self or any of the clergy to meddle in the business of politic?. He does not ask for sectarian schools, nor did he ever. He does no( ask that any of the public money should be given to his denomin ation, nor did he ever. Any system of education which does not interfere with the rights of any denomination will satisfy him. The present system is not of this description ; it insists on giving what is termed 'the legal quantity of religious instruction.' It has many op ponents in this city on constitutional grounds." Nor would it have injured the cause of truth, however much it might have been out of h'armony' with the spirit and in tent of your lecture, if you had added, that when the fate of the nation hung trembling in the balance, and the im mortal Lincoln had all the United States to choose from, it was this same John Hughes he selected as ambassador, to lay before the nations of the old world the true iseuea involved in the contest, in order to prevent the baneful effects of a recognition of the Southern confederacy. Bnt enough. 1 cannot close this letter without asking space for the insertion of an extract from an address delievered in Washington, D. C. last Sunday, by Archbishop Ireland. Every sentence of. it is a protest against the assumptions of Dr. Grant and his A. P. A. admirers, that Catholicism is at war with loyalty to the state, and that Catholics owe allegiance in political matters, to the head of the Roman church. Who knowe but this assumption may be the "fortress" that Dr. Grant claims I have have never attacked? Archbishop Ire land said : The most positive precepts of the (jatnouc cnurcn go to tne building of America. She prescribes loyalty to the state, purity of personal life, charity to fellow-men. The church recognizes, as her own species, faith and morals; she possesses and claims no mission in civil and political matters. If the church, en croaches upon the sphere of the state, we should bid her be away. If the state enters into the sanctuary of conscience, the proper empire of tbe'ehureb, the ap peal is to God, and the state is ordered to hold off its hands. With the separa tion of church and state, as it is in America, the church and the state re volve freely in their separate and dis tinct spheres; Catholics fall behind none of the fellow-citizens in 'admiring it and demanding its continuance. The (Jath olic church wishes no aid from the state in the preaching of the gospel. But lib erty from the state she wishes and clamors for as a sacred and inalienable right; liberty in its fullest sense under tne common law of the land. I am a Catholic, I am a priest and a bishop: but I am an American citizen, and I must be debarred from no rights and privileges accorded to other citizens be cause I am a Catholic. My words betray no fear for the future. - Americana are a people of sincere religious convictions and of profound common sense, and thev will know how to keep church and state separate, and yet give liberty its fullest sway and guard religion and morals. Sentiments like these and they are the common, everyday, expression of representative Catholics ought to level to the flat earth every "fortress" that has any relation to American citizenship.
