| Quite an unpleasant breeze was raised
a lew days since, concerning the removal
| of the remains OF Mr. Joseph Schniidliii
from the Sisters Hospital. The facts
| are simply these: Alr. Schmidlin died in.
the morning, and the Sisters REQUESTED
| the removal of the remains, lis they have
| 10 place to keep Il dead body over night.
| The body was removed, accordingly, IN
| the evening. For this they received
some eensure from persons not knowing
| the facts og rules of such Institutions.
We have good reasons tor believing that
| this breeze was more of a manifestation
| against the Catholics of this city than
| the action of the humble Sisters for tifeir
act of drawing $1,000 annually from the
| City Treasury Tor supporting the Cath0-
| lie schools. No other city in the West
| comedies them like favors. Moreover, it
is charged that this singular appropria-
| ton was brought about by undue iniiu-
ence of Catholic members in the City
| Council.
