the Holy Father, and the respective Do
ceses of Boston, Philadelphia, Milwaukee,

TO tho Metropolitan Rank. Boston will
have as Suffragans, Hartford, Burlington,
VT, Portland, Springfield, Mass, and
Providence. Philadelphia will have as
Sutfragans, Pittsburgh, Erie, Harlisburgh
aud Scranton, in the State of Pennsyl-
vania. Milwaukee will have as Suffrage
Lacrosse and Green Bay, in Wisconsin
st. Paul and the new Nicariate Apostolic
in Minnesota. Naturally, we may coujec
ture also, the two Dioceses in Michigan,
but what is the use of conjecturing If
the checking of Catholic immigration is
not followed by a fearful loss of the child
rem of Catholics already settled in parts of
the North West Chicago and st. Paul
also, will, before many years, be each a
Metropolitan See.
The creation of Santa Fe as Il Metropoli-
tan Church ia, we hope, one of those in.
stances in which "the Wisdom of God is
stronger than men, That region of New
Mexico is hallo~ed by very sacred traditions,
little known, in our day. Humanity speak
ing, it seens 10 lie in IA barren waste,
equally isolated from the prodieious de
velopment going on in Texas-which will
seek its centre OF activity towards the
Gulf of NJ, xico, and the chain of future
States stretching from Kansas westward,
through regions in themselves not natur
ally inviting but artifcially stimulated.
