Wiiuravsrorr, Pa., Jan. 3, 1972, ‘The more one looks into ths celeprated issue be- $ween Bishop O’Hara and Father Stack the moro hopelessly involved do his reasoning powers bo @ome. Logic, law and equity ure ail at sea, There are apparent reasons for velleving in the justice of the defendant, and just as weighty ones for post- tively asserting the correviness.of the views of the plaintid. The controversy was brought about by Bisho © Hare removing Fainer Stack from the chure! over whicn he presided. Stack, “Mr. Stack,” as Bishop O’Aara now persists in calling him, did fometbing almost anknown In th annals of the Catholic Charch in tni3 country—ne rebelled! Ae ealled the civil conrts to lis aid, and cited his Su- perior to show cause, a thing nover hefore attempted in America, Whether the Bishop can be made to explain his feasons and toa civil court, is the great question— ® question on whicn ninges many of the preroga- fives of the Bishops, in America atleast, if notin Burope, Father Stack claims the Civil Ovurt has jurisdic. Hton—Bishop O’Hara deaies it; andere, Ina fow words, Is tho case, It has besa geverally admittea that the Bishop had causes for removing Stack, but It 1a not the practice to g:ve a reason, When @ riest is Ordained he promises to “obey and revere.” is not his place to ask qnestions any more than It wm vhe privilege of the priv ite soldier to question the orders that bid him to the ficld of carnage; and Father Stack, in his present attitude, stands singly and aione the first rebel fe Church has known for many a day. Many vears ago a priest in Philadel\hia after baving been suspended continued to atminister his Office in his church for eirhteen months, but a grad- al witharawal of the rympathy of former friends nd abso'ute refusal of ail priests to near his con- feestons finally preyod on bis mind to such an ex- feot that be abandoned everrthing and went to Beme In search of absolution, which, a(ter various ces, Was wranted, and he ultimately died in favor with the Pope, Stack's case ts far differ- ent. He goes-to a court of law and prays for its in- terference in 8 matter of ecclesiastical concern, and ‘which, it 1a claimed by the Bishop, is a matter for adjustment by an ecclesiastical court only, if any, AN INTERVIRW WITH FATHER STACK. Your representative recently sought the parties to Me case, snd hada lexgtny interviews with both. Pather Stack was found at the Colonnade Hotei in Philadelphia on Sunday evening, anda request for verbal information touching nis case was most gheerfally complied with. He nad, he said, written the HeRaxp, not for pablication, but for the purpose of guarding it against a false view of the merits of the case. He was much elated atthe course the Jadge (Gambie) had taken in his favor, and was evi- Gently well pleased with the prospect of being *in- serviewed.” As he pointed to a chair and removed his‘hat I had ‘a2 opportunity to stady his “make up.” Age about tuurty, he presents the appearance ol one who has lived tomperately, as becomes the priest, and forces on you the impression that he <lesires to be consid. ered gooa-natured. His physique ts good and his features regular; thick, black wavy hair and sharp Piercing eye, which iast he uses to good advantage I take it, for he takes one in at @ glance, then his features relax into calmness and bis heart whis- pers “all right; I have otphered you,” and he is Feady to talk or listen. “Father Stack,’ I said, ‘I desire to ask youa few questions with regard to the legal proceedings at ‘Williamsport, in which you are one of the inter- ented principals.” JURISDICTION OF BISHOP O'HARA.

CorResronDENT—Do the bishops in America re- @ognize the canon to any extent whatever? Father 8raok—They freely recognize it to the ex- tent of securing their own class rights and powers. a do they not fully recog- Father S8rack—The extension of canon law to secure the rights of priests would diminish the pre- Fogatives of the bishops, and break up thelr arbre wary a ConnEsroNDENT—Why do they dare ignore tire Tights of priests? Father Stack—I might answer you} by ‘another question—"Why aro men swayed by the lust of Dower?” as De Maistre says, CoRRESPONDENT—Are not the priests discontented and less efficient under such a state of things? Pather Stack—Certainly, The best talent is com- paratively obscured, and the best energies lost to ‘we Churoh by cramping their manhood and sinking ‘their individual character. CoRRESPONDENT—Be more explicit, please. I do ‘mot yet understand your meaning.

Belore this Legation Brent, by virtue ' of a power of attorney, that ouly empowered him to prosecute the case directly against the govero- ment of Pern, brought the claim of Consul Weile aud fixed the damages at $50,000, Sejor Lavien 0.

They were in @ bad way. Much machinery had to be greased, there was no oil, and things looked hopeless, but with the advent of Hovey arrangements were made to set apart $10,000 for the claimant whose good friend the writer, Brent, had agreed that all above the sam named should go to pay expenses, He counselled the claimant to be a good boy and sav notning naughty, as many better claims had been thrown overboard fur want of oil ta grease tne mixed machinery, ‘Iho Amer- jean _ Commtssioner Vedat would stop at Guayaqgall, to which post the Consul had been transferred alter his mistreatment st Tumbez, and give him further information, Consul Welle took alarm at the character of this communication, and at the remarkable umission, which could not have been unintentional, to inform him what exact sum a ie ne | o= Woich he was invited to draw had been used for lubricating purposes at Lima. He accordingiy wrote directly to Secretary Fisit, at Wasniugton, ree questing to be notined of the amount awarded nina by the mixed commission, and ot the inanver ia which he was to collect tt. In tnis tetter he alsa revoked any power of attorney given to Secretar: Brent, and asked that tue legation of the Unite States at Lima-be so informed. Hts answer came from Assistant Secretary Baucroit Davis, advisini request that Mr. Brent may be informed of the re- yocation of the power conferred upon him tn the premises, upon the ground that it was not the province of tue State Lepartment to interfere in the private affairs oi its citizens, The claimant nad not requested the State Depart. ment to communtcate with Mr. Brent atall, but With the United states Legation, Nor was this re. quest at ail necessary in @ lezai point of view, as the fourth artucie of the convention with Pera ex- pressly stipulated that ali sums of money awarded should be paid by the one government to the otner.
