SUPPRESSION OF JOHN HAY'S BOOK.
ROMAN CATHOLIC influence or intrigue has suppressed the circulation of the late Secretary of State John Hay's book, "Castilian Days," in the public libraries of Buffalo, N. Y. At a meeting of the Brooklyn, N. Y., branch of the American Federation of Catholic Societies on September 17, it was reported that "the federation in Buffalo has been very successful in various undertakings, particularly in having the libraries of the city discontinue the circulation of the book 'Castilian Days,' written by the late Secretary of State John Hay, which it has been felt in Catholic circles was slanderous of Catholics and their customs." The report that the work had been successfully suppressed by the Buffalo federation was enthusiastically received by the Brooklyn contingent. This is indicative of the sort of work that may be expected of the Roman Catholic federation.
