IIE report made by our West Virginia
Fish Commissioners to the Governor, and
by him submitted to the Legislature, is an
inierestin. history of an important ex-
pertinent in the matter of supplying the
waters oi this State with an abundant sup
Piyo! palatablr aud nutritious fish. Al
ready The Commissioners have stocked
our va,e-s with good supply of several
rhoicc varieties, and among the appropria-
tiaas asked for from the Legislature is q
continuance oi the uid heretofore extend

CARDINAL MANNING AND THK 1Esu1rs.
Cardinal Manning's hasty departure for Rome
is due to dispute between the Enclish Roman
Catholic Bishops and the religious Orders, es-
pecia1lv the Jcsuits, who have carried their quar-
rel to headquarters, where it is under the con-
alteration OF the Congregation of Bishops and
Regulars, the ecclesiastical department charged
With the arrangements Of Z tuodus yiYcudi be-
tween the clcrics OF religious Orders anu the
Bishops. The highest cpiscopate claim full con-
troll over the Jcsuits, and per consequence over
the Benedictines. Passionists, Oratorians, aud
all others in matters which the ''Orders ~
declare should only be subject to the coustitu-
ton OF their societies and their duly ap-
pointed Generals. The Jesuits arc fighting the
battle of all the Orders; and that able
Bcncdictine, Bishop Ullathornc, Of BIRMINGHAM,
but for whom there would be probably
no hierarchy In England, Is with them in
their contention. The Cardinal. vino is not the
author OF the in.6reglio. is gone as I forlorn

'<These constant disagreements lead naturally
to the question, What causes them! Why IL
there more trouble in this country between
Bishops and priests, between ono priest and his
brcthren7 They are produced by the same
cause that creates troubles in everyday life
namely, money; the greed of it, ind the want
Of it. In no other country in the world are the
priesthood as we'll of financially as they are
here. When the Church is poor or oppressed 1t
is pure; when wealthy it presents many exccp-
tions to purity. When riches are readily ac-
quired By almost every priest and the field of
pccuniary profit is full Of golden prizes what
wonder TINT the scramble Tor lat livings
should present repulsiye features? 1ncompe-
tenance and ignorance hold grimlv On to every
venal advantage gained, and the new corners
camor aud caba( for the places Of the old.
Decency is shocked by the diatribes with which
further food Of Mammon is exacteQ from the
poorest congregations. Amid all this greed,
these everlasting squabblcs among the priests,
and appeals for more money and still more to
the laymen, what is the chance for the souls OF
the neglected thousands In almost every parish!

JOHN HENRY NEWMAN.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF THE SEwLT-cREArED
CARDINAL.
Ne1 Yurk Herafd.
The official list Of the Cardinals to be created
at the next ConsistorY includes, as we are in-
formed by telegram from Rome dated March
5. the name of Dr.. Newman. The elevation Of
Father Newman to the rank Of Prince OF the
Roman Catholic Church is an event which has
long been expected. 1t is q deserved tribute to
rare personal merit and exquisite literary at
tainmcnts. By this step Pope Leo XIII. has
proved himself superior to the trammels which
the Ultramontanes have sought to impose upon
him, and England has gained second resident
Cardinal, who, like his colleague, Cardinal Man
ming, belongs to the highest type OF the a.istoc-
racy of worth aud intellect
Father Newman is the elder brother OF the
distinguished Prof Francis William Newman
late Of University College, who, after long Sc
cession from Christianity in any form, has late
II become devout member of the Unitarian
Church. They are tue sons Of John Newman.
