CLOSING THE PULPIT AGAINST TRAMPS, The Stratford Tines is severe on one of its local contemporaries and tramp moralists:— The pimps' orgau wishes to know why .the, Times don't attack the Catholics, and, answers the question with the remark that it darn not, The reason is plain. In the fir case the Catholics of Stratford, as a body of religionists, don't meddle with other people's business. They don't push their ideas forward on public platforms and make them obnoxious to those who differ with them. They don't allow their pul- pits to be occupied by brazen -faced, unsexed females, and rag -tag -and - bob -tailed converted frauds, who live and fatten on theft, scandal, falsehood, and the credulity of their hearers. These are some of the principal reasons why they do not come in for public censure. Once let Dr. Kilroy throw his church open to scalawags like D. I. K. Rine, Marvin Knowlton, and the score of similar frauds who have hold high carnival in too many of the Stratford churches, mad it would not take long to bring him and his church into disrepute, and ho would have to run the salve gauntlet which the Tinter has thrown to Veeragava Roy, ex -Monk Wriddows, Baron do Carvin, etc., eta, and those who bowed down to such disreputable wretches' The Times is no respec- ter of persons, not even of Catholics, if they drop into the habit of' pro- mulgating their doctrines by means of low -lived tramps, frauds, thieves, and women whose tongues should bo employed singing lullabies to infants Lather than lecturing men old enough to bo their husbanrla, fathers, or even grandfathers I --Mr. C.
