Archbishop Purcell in Financial trouble

Archbishop Purcell I'm Financial Trouble
lii reported from Cincinnati that Arch
lisrop Purcell has become financially en-
iarrassed on account of the failure oil He
aaaa, the German banker, with whom he
had kept his accounts. The Archbishop,
ike most prelates Of his church, is the de
Iository OF an immense amount Of money
IN small sums, placed in his bands by his
church people for safe keeping. This
money draws interest and is used for car
rine forward the operations of the do
Cese, such as church, school and
charitable buildings, and is geneF-
ally represented by large amounts Of
neal state. The Archbishop's embafrass-
nent is therefore, We presume, more ap-
parent than real, for, as his brother
Edward says, the church has too much
property 10 allow depositor to suffer.
They will get their money. in the end: In
addition to this security. II is suggested
lhat there are many wealthy members OF
The churchwh would doubtless come for
varl to aid the Archbishop in his trouble.
1t is said that the venerable Reuben
Springer, whose magnificent donations
TO the Cincinnati public and to art
in Cincinnati have made him famous, has
declared that the Archbishop shall not
suter financially, even If it costs him q
roand million. 1t is asserted that Mr..
Springer had already handed to the Arch
bishop check for $4,000. Mr.. srinGer
is devoted Catholic, childless, and a
Sidover. lie is able to command several
millions in cash, on short notice, and It Is
hANlly probable he will allow the church

THE cost of shipping nails by the car
load from this city to San francisco d
about 81 % per hundred against about 50
cents by way of Philadelphia and the sea.
The costof shipping pork from Chicago
to San Francisco is s. 95 per hundred, and
hence 800 barrels were seat for that city to
New York the other day, and thence by
sea. The Chicago Tribune has very in
,lignant article on the subject, speaking OF
tas an infamous outrage that the people
Of the Northwest, with direct road, built
at Government expense, to the Pacific
coast, are compelled to ship their product
to the East and thence thousands OF miles
BY sea in order to escape the extortions OF
d gigantic monopoly. at is infamous, !"
says the Tribune, that ''the railroads built
on public money should be so managed as
TO deprive the public Of the facilities they
were designed to provide" This eondi-
ton OF things is the fault OF Congress
which has the right to regulate the charges
Of these Pacific roads, and which ought to
proceed to do so. There is rumor in
New York that the Pacific railroads have
concludeda pooling arrangement with the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company which
will even defeat this natural protection
against the extortion of the roads. It is
only question how much longer Congress
will Try the patience Of the people byre-
insins a remedy which is at its disposal,
Or, rather, a question how long before the
people will begin to resent the imposition
in such manner as to compel Congress to
do its duty.
