"Bishop Kahn has prohibited the West yir-
einia Catholics from taking the IRISH World
The above paragraph has been floating a
round in the papers for several days without
any statement rs to where the information
came from OF why the prohibition was made.
In bis Ieuton Pastoral Bishop Kain spoke
against papers whose rabid tone was injurious
70 the community, but he did not mention any
Of them by name. Ho did not hesitate to
give his reasons privately, or say that the prin-
cipal paper he objected to was the IRISH BOrld.
The reasons FOR taking the ground be does. are
that, the IlOrldS attacks upon the English
government are couched in such bitter invec-
tives, are SO incenliary in their tone, that they
serve to stir up and Increase the hatred OF
lrishmen for England in most scnseles man
uer, and are in direct opposition to the spirit
Of Christianity. Such attacks are cut OF place
in this age when the spirit Of religious tolera-
ton is stronger aud more liberal than ever be-
fore. Not only is the IRISH World malicious
toward the British Government. but tie Bish-
OPP SAYS it also frequently attacks the Catholic
Church, and publishes articles which are with
out truth, and injurious to the religious world.
We think the Bishops reasoning is good,
and his action 10 this matter is certainly com
mendabe.

Mn. EDITOR: Is it fact that the B. &. O
r. R. Company has in view the removal Of
| the work shops from MarIiusburg? Ihope the
report is not correct, as il would ruin the IN
terests Of that town, aud, indeed, # Berkeley
County. Q.
We are unpreparcd 20 answer the above
are not at all 10 the confidence Of that Com
pany as to any purpose it may have. We
join with you in the hope that any such rumoT
is uufourded. The material prosperity Of
Mlrtinsbure IS largely dependent on tie Rail
road. Our Senior was born there seventy
years ago, when tie population was less than
1900, aud he has joyfully witnessed the
growth aud prosperity, and attributed it ia
large measure to the maintenance there of the
shops BY the Railroad, the annual disturse-
monts being almos, equal to tue value Of the
wheat crop Of the County.
Keyser City is almost experiencing the
,hroes Of dissolution by tho change Of the 81
vision terminal Poin. from that place to Pied
mont. We do hope no such fate awaits Mar
