CATHOLIC.
The Roman Catholics of Illinois seem to b.
i'm as much trouble as the Episcopalians will
their ecclesiastical regimen. The two dioceses
Alton and Chicago are without bishops, through
: | the death of one and the insanity of the other
, and their affairs are in the hands of provisiona
: | administrators, neither of whom appears to b
| in full sympathy with the Irish portion of hi
/ | flock. Consequently, in sending out pastors
the churches the wishes of the Irish majority i
: | the churches are sometimes disregarded, an
the people refuse to receive those who are Anne
$ rican born or not Irish. The Alton admlnistrI
II tor says:--
n "Ths argues anything but spirit of Chrlsta
o charity. We are Catholics, and we have in lrelan
', both French and German priests and Irish priest
