Whnt the Cutliolie Church has Do no for the Spiritual Welfare of llutl People. Editor Press and Uamier r In lust week's issue of your paper there was an article headed "Foreigu \r:^cinn? " in which th? Catholic; re ligiou and the Catholics of Mexico were attacked ill a very unfair and uncharitable manner. .Being a member of that faith, may I be permitted to enter a protest against the article and present some facts to show how misleading such statements are? There seems to he an impression abroad in this land of ours that the Mexicans have no one to look after their spiritual welfare; that the Mexican clergy are steeped in vice aud crime, and neglect, the people. I know no better way of refuting these oft-repeated charges, in such a necessarily limited space, than by juoting from the testimony of a fairminded Protestaut gentleman who has lived in Mexico many years, and speaks from personal knowledge. Mr. W. F. Guernsey, the Mexicau correimindpnt nf the Boston Herald is the gentlemen referred to, and the letter to )e quoted from, and which was printid in that paper Jess than four jears igo, is as applicable to the situatiou low as then. This wrirer would wish hat it were possible to quote the letter n full, but as it is quite lengthy, I will lave to be content with extracts. Mr. Guernsey's reasons for writng the letter to his paper, as given by limselt, are as follows : Several read(rs of the Boston Herald have sent me he following extract from a letter >rioted in a paper which is published n one of Boston's most attractive subirbs : "Many are living together as nan and wife in Mexico because the >riestly marriage fee is so high, and or the same reason many of the poor >eople are buried without religious services. Civil marriage is now provided or by law, but it and those who avail hemselves of it are denounced bv the oercenary priests." Here are the same old charges. Let dr. Guernsey answer from personal , knowledge?not hearsay : "Not hav- : ug taken a brief for ttie Cath- , die Church in Mexico, I hardly know i vhat to say in reply to the implied [uestions of the readers of the Herald, j U1 one can speak of with authority is hat which passes under his personal i lotice, and I frankly assert that the ( Jatholic clergy, whom I have the hon>r to know, are devout aud earnest, ut- i erly incapable of a base action, as , ;ealous as the best protestant pastors , n Boston, or any New England town. "I have heard of lazy, and careless, j ind even greedy priests, but in a somevhat extended acquaintance with this 1 :ountry, both here in the capital and ( hroughout the interior, I have had , inly the good fortune to see priests of " loble and devoted lives, doing their >est to minister to their humble Hocks. , . . The other day I had occasion o go to an ancient church in the heart >f tbis city, a venerable edifice, recenty piously re-tored by a wealthy Spanard. I found the three priests who odi>e in rooms there living in real >ovesty, their bed frames of planks on vbieh a few coarse blankets aid duty or mattresses and coverings as well, rheir breakfast consisted of dry bread ind chocolate, their suppers of tbe he same, and their dinners infrequenty of meat, but usually of soup, rice ind a stew, with a tiny cup ol coll'ee o finish ott' witb. i "1 kuow personally of the habits of hese excellent and zealous men, for luring several years I lived in a large Id-fashioned mansiou, back of the ihurch. . . . Other priests at the ame church lived like poor men, ! church mice', I used to call them. 3ut tbey were ready to give of what ; ittle they had to tbe poor Of (heir parsh. . . . "I call to mind, now that the Cath- ' >lic clergy of Mexico are depicted as i jreedy and luxurious men, some sublrban clergymen hereabouts, frugal ivers, uever properly fed, their homes nost plainly furnished, indeed scantly, aud not fit for men of culture, lueh as they. . . . "One clergyman, a young Spauish jrlest, short, thin and phenomenally ictive, has ten little chapels to look af- i er; in five years he has been unable o get enough money together to buy urnself a horse, and has to depend on ill sorts and conditions of nags thaf ire lent him for bis parish work. . . k most sensible, earnest and noble ('oung priest wljom it is an honor to snow, ne goes as do the clergy geuerilly, to the homes of people sick with nteetious diseases; he is ready to answer calls for his spiritual services at iny time of night. . Another young priest, a sample of the lot, is ministering to the people of a small town I know very well. He has been several fimps spiiI on missions to thn State of Uuerrero, to a point notoriously miasmatic, and came back finally shattered in health, but after a rest asked to be sent back to labor among the poor and savage Indians. .... And he is one of a band of young priests who visit not rich men's houses, who fare plainly, and who in times of scarcity deny themselves meat for months to give their ration to the hungry poor. This I know. . . . ' In a large suburb there is a band of Passionist Fathers, who literally work among the poor and degraded. They wear the coarsest clothing. . . If you give them money or clothing they will not keep it, but hand it to the poor. Eager to do good, sparely fed, poorly lodged, these are men of culture, men who have known refined homes, who have been accustomed to the luxuries of life. How they can so deprive themselves of the comforts of life, seemingly the due of all good men, I cannot comprehend. Their philosophy of life is too much for me. Hut human angels they are, and their bright example in a sordid world warms the heart and inspires a belief in their sincerity. Sincere? Of course they are. Nobody plays that part in life for show, or in the hope of winning the applause of men. When I see them walking iu the rain, wear ing coarse garments, their faces alight with the sunshine of an In visible heaven, I am sure that most of us are pretty poor specimens, and do not merit heaven or its remotest environs. . . Now as to marriage fees. In my town, a suburb, tlie parish priest, the head of the Carmelite order in this country, a venerable and saintly man, always marries the poor withoul asking a fee. If they give little it if the same as if they were provided witli the right amount And every little while there come oul our way mission priests who marrj everybody gratis, who preach evaU' gelicallv to the poor, and they get the well-to-do families to aid them in clothing the naked and in teaching the elements of their religion to the ignorant. . . . I am speaking in this letter of what I have seen and actually know. No hearsay about it. . . "And so, by keeping one's eyes open, it becomes clear that the Christian religion is not dead, that good people are still following their Master, and that sometimes Catholic clergymen are slandered and depicted as sordid, grasping knaves. It is awful and regrettable bigotry which prompts these unscrupulous attacks on a body nf nipn for the most oart sincere and laborious. Men who love ease of life are not confined to the Catholic priesthood, nor is sincerity exclusively pertinent to Protestants. I have no reason to defend the Catholics, not being of their communion, and rarely entering their churches; but so many good and noble people have I seen among them in this country, so sweet are the Mexican women, so charming the homes of the Catholic people of Mexico, that when any one attacks them I am ready to tell the truth about them. It is a cheap and silly weapon, this of slander; it is never employed by men and women with the love of God in their hearts." Mr. Editor, as these quotations speak for themselves, I have no comment to offer. J. L. Roche. INSURANCE COMPANIES Complying with Hie I,nw ? Comptroller General Jones Has ItevolutiouIzhI lll? anscnmmciiln on IliiilUinK mill I.uiin Com limiicN. fTh? KtntP^ Hon. A. W. Jones, the comptroller general, hasrecetvtd returns of the property of the bulldiug and loan companies In all of the counties except Richland, Charleston and Spartanburg. He is anxious for all to be Kenl In so ihat his cilice may get the matter ended. rhl? has been one of the most surprising actions ever taken by the lax department, but It will no doubt result In good, lor Mr. Jones is not at all arbitrary In his declaration.that ill property must be taxed for Its proper value, and the attorney general's office has advised him that this Is property. The opinion of the attorney general was sought on iccoum ol the fact thai a number of companies which bad been paying taxes complained that there was discrimination In the way In which the law was being administered. The new way of getting at these companies will put ail ou a common looting. There is another matter In which the comptrollers oftlce has taken a very decided Ntand recently, the matter of requiring fire Insurauce companies to put a valuation clause on each of their policies. To a circular issued recently by Mr. Jones there have come many protests Irom the fire insurance companies. Hut the comptroller general stands by his determination to euforce the law and the representatives ol companies who have been sent here to see him have conceded that the comptroller is right at theac lion he has taken, and the agents of the oomDanles doing business In this State are re celvlng Instructions to attach the value daunt) lo Hi 1 policies, and If policies have been sent uut without the clause bo attached, these policies are to be recalled and put In proper shape. Tbe effect of tbe valuation clause Is that the lusured and tbe company nnittt bave a JelluHe understanding as to the value of the property, so that In case of lose tbe policy must be paid dollar for dollar. Iu speaking ol this matter yesterday, Mr. Jones said: Inquiry has been several times made by tire insuran-e companies r.t tbe o.tlce of the comptroller general hb to tbe necessity of Incorporating in tire Insurance polioies h valuation clause as required by the laws of South Carolina which provide that the value of tbe properly in-tured whall be slated.in tbe policy and also the amount of Insurance as fixed by tbe Insurer and tbe iusuied. For any violation ol this chapter the comptroller general is required forthwith to revoke and recall the llceuseor authority of the company, or association, or partnership, to do buBiuess lu this State; and alter such revocation there shall be no renewal of license or authority for three years. It also provides that upon conviction of any such violation a fine of $500 shall be paid. "It Is thus seen that Are Insurance policies on property In this State must contain a valuation clause, and that (allure to embody nuch a clause in the policy renders tbe company liable to revocation ol Its license, and pay a due."

At a meeting of Southeastern Railway Land and Industrial Agents' Association, an organization composed of the heads of the Laud, Industrial and Immigration Departments of the railways south of the Potomac aud Ohio i Rivers, and eust of the Mississippi | reiver, held at Miami, Florida, March AI( (>, 1903, the following resolution was adopted : "Resolved, That appreciating the *iv "great value that an exhibition of the "products of the several States within "the territory of this Association at "the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, \ "to be held at St. Louis, in 1904, would />) "be in inducing immigration to those ! x "States, we would earnestly urge upon I U "the people of those States the importance of early and active effort to se- i "mire sufih exhibition bv leeislative "appropriation, and would suggest \ "that such effort be made through I "Boards of Trade and other local or- LiiM "gauizations. In this effort we pledge . "our earnest support and co-operation.'' I Tlie objects of this Association, and (1 all the ellorts of its members, being to I develop and build up the States within 11J our territory by increase of population and industrial enterprise, we especially realize how much good can be accom- ( plished in this direction by an exhibi- ??? tlon of the prodccts of the "several States at the St. Louis Exposition, 1 S where it would attract the favorable I J attention of hundreds of thousands of I II people of the populous Northern States UU from which we must hope to secure immigration. It is for this reason that we urge upon the people of the several ? States within our territory, who should be equally interested with us in our vk-'x work, the importance of taking active and immediate steps toward creating a /j\ popular sentiment that will demand of yK the Legislatures of the several States "I* "? tvw\ lr/\ OIlflfiniAtlf lllill I 11 ."Mill 11 IIIUI\C OUlllUCUb apjJIu- f|^ priation to defray the expense of mak- juL ing such exhibits as will reflect credit *0 upon the States making them.

The time is short in which iiv to make preparation ; work should begin immediately and be continued uu- tus til the object is achieved. [ From J. \V.
