In conclusion the speaker applied his principles to local affairs, discussing and criticizing incidents with which thousands of San Franciscans are familiar. Nor did he eglect to condemn the abuses of the | power which the priest in politics wields. The first part of the lecturer's theme | was historical. He traced the priest in | politics from the time that Moses stood in disgrace before the civil authoritles until now, when from Ilurking shadows and tongues that are cowardly comes the | sneering charge that the priest is spot- ting his garments, degrading his exaited | | station, mingling In the mire of politics | | and interfering in affairs not his own. | “In politics as in religion,” he sald, | 3 | 1s worth a cartload of syllogisms, | when vou shout ‘reason has no place.

That Over- | A P. It | to particulars? Must he discuss individual | in Civil Affairs. Thousands Listen to an Address Replete With Dra- matic Réferences and Criticism of Passing and Local Events. Rev. Father Peter C. Yorke delivered a brilliant lecture last night on “The Priest in Politics.” The | reverend gentleman made an eloquent defense of the right of all exponents of the moral law to participate in | civil affairs, of the priest to teach the law to the statesman, to warn, guide, admonish and criticize. In all ages and all lands this relation of church and state has existed. It is from the time of Moses, the priest in “The Roman empire was not a gigantic A. written in Latin. It was a tol- erant Government. Christlans were not persecuted because of their religion, but | because they protested against the oath of allegiance, because they refused to do what everybody else did, because it was once more the priest in politics, and the | priest suffered the vengeance of the poli- ticlan. But principle will triumph o\'er’ power and policy, and with Constantine | cume the triumph of the Christians. And | with the triumph came new evils. The | priest was not only in politics, he was the politician, and as Clirist is not Caesar, so the priest is not the politician. A tre- mendous protest arose against the priest in politics. Courtler bishops thrived ‘and evils thrived. “In feudal times the priest was more deeply in politics and louder grew the cry. The contest was between the church and the state, each having its own duties which the other could not perform. Then | came the Protestant reformation, a move- | ment political and not religious, in which the primary .effort was to cut off from Catholics that appeal to a power outside of the church, the Pope, the greatest priest {n politics. In Protestantism the priest is in politics, but he is a managed priest, a censored priest, a priest without power to perform the functions to which he has been ordained. *“The advocacy of the temporal power of | the Pope is again the priest in politics, the advocacy of free speech, the demand of honest priest with no dictating, whis- pering king, emperor or politician. It is the demand for a free Pope at liberty to act and speak within his own dominion. And such a Pope all Catholics insist upon having upon the papal throne. “In all ages, in all !ands, you have the | priest in politics. You have had him even | here before the United States was a na- | tion. You have had your Father John | Carroll, your Bishop Hughes. And was | there ever a time in San Francisco when you didn’t have a priest in politics? They led blameless lives; they walked well in the path that God had madc for them. They went out to battle for the right, for | the weak and for the poor and the op- | pressed. And vet there have been those | who were priests by accident and poli- ticlans by nature. “And now has the priest a right to be in politics? Will we say as a priest, no; | but as a citizen, yes? If a priest wants to g0 to a primary and vote for himself and some of his friends must he take off his Roman collar and leave his priestly robes in the sacristy? Emphatically, no. To do so would be uncatholic and cow- ardly. A priest has influence only as a priest; he cannot conveniently dividehim- eelf into priest and citizen. When a priest goes out into the world he is a priest. In | politics he is a priest. Has he a right to be? ““If the state is bound by the moral law, and it is, then the priest, the exponent of | the moral law, must speak to the state. | He must tell the state as well as the in- dividual its duty. But must he descend THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1900. THE PRIEST AND THE POLITICIAN Brilliant Lecture Delivered by Rev. P.C.

But the mean- est, the most despicable act that a man can be guilty of 1s to accuse a priest, a minister of God, a man who has given his labor, his life, his best thought and his best work in the service of his heavenly master, of inducing the dying to bequeath to him their property. And that has been done in our courts of jus- tice and the lawyers point to the ‘spot on politics. ! “The priest is in politics because there ! aresnot enough laymen in it. The priest is In politics because there are wWrongs to be redressed, because there are solemn | dutles to perform. He is in politics to pro- test against offenses which Catholic lay- | men, who live by the Catholic church and on the Catholic church, dare not condemn. | ‘What Cathollc layman dare protest ! against the injustice of giving to Stanford University what is not given to Catholic schools? What layman dare expose the evil of exempting Stanford In its riches | from taxation and compelling Catholic | schools in their poverty to pay? | “We have seen that for ages the | priest is in politics and why. We now ask | 1s it always expedient for him to be? It is neither right nor expedlent for the priest to be a partisan. He should not use his influence to favor candidates or parties when neither partles nor candi- dates offend the moral law. The priest has no right to use his cloth, to say ‘we must stand by our own people’ when he knows all candidates have a right to fair- ness. And the priest should be no hunter of jobs. “The priest {n politics is commanded by God to fight for the right against the ‘wrong, to struggle for justice against in- | justice, to battle for the poor against the rich; to be the watchman upon the tower, the sentinel to warn the people of God's law. And who but the priest shall spea' for that unnumbered multitude who have no politiclan to speak for them; who are pitted in uneven warfare against the acts of life? It is his solemn duty to do strong and the unmerciful ?"* coat AMERICAN DELEGATE HOLLS TELLS OF PROGRESS TOWARD ARBITRATION Pictured Opposite Is One of the Smartest, Results REDERICK American deleg; MOLLS, one of the ates to the Inter- Peace Conference at last year, is at the Palace Hotel.

This evening he will speak in Met- ropolitan Temple on political issues. Mr. Holls said last evening: “I think that the conference materially advanced the work of inducing the na- tions to submit differences to the inter- national court of arbitration to be formed. It should not be said that we went to The Hague to abolish war any more than a sanitary congress proposes to abolish disease. Nations will accept or reject me- diation as they think best. What has been gained 1s the consent of all nations of the earth, with the exception of those of Cen- tral and South America, to try the experi- ment of arbitration.

Organization will be effected next spring. Indeed, it has al- ready begun, for a house at The Hague has been secured. ‘“There are about fifteen cases ready for consideration. The arrangement is that each litigant nation shall appoint two Judges and the court will appoint the fifth. The first case to be tricd, so I have heard, is a controversy between Roumania and Bulgarfa, on account of an island that was created by the changing of the course of the river Danube. Interpreta- tions of commercial treaties will be con- sidered. President McKinley has recom- mended that the question of damages owing to the outbreak in China shall be taken up. If that course is pursued tHe case will be a long one.” Mr. Holls said that New York will give a majority of 100,000 for McKinley and that Illinois will do about the same. Indiana is debatable ground. West Virginia and Maryland are about sure for McKinley. Congress will be Republican by a fair working majority. The movement toward McKln]e¥ throughout the East is very strong. If there was a prospect of a land- slide toward Bryan within two weeks of the election, that fact would be known to some leaders of the Republican party. All that Mr. Holls had talked to were con- fident of the re-election of McKinley. Mr. Holls had expected to deliver several political addresses on the coast, but he nas received a dispatch that calls him home and he will go as soon as he has flllecil( the engagements of the present week. ois; pleasing, | ——— - = nelw and n‘;bbv INCIDENTS IN POLICE COURT. colorings. . v 2255 ingin 1e o ¥ ohb Harry Davis Threatens to Kill T.
