the GLOBE. And fast upon this the wish
was expressed to know what success had at.
tended his trip and representations in the
East. Bishop Ireland was not at leisure
just then to relate the results of his mission
but graciously said he could accord an inter
| view at later hour.
At 7io'c]ock GLOBE reporter was ush-
| cred into his presence, and from long and
pleasant conversation the following can be
summarized: t5H5E
COLON1ZING THE WEST. 81!
The Bishop introduced the subject OF
colonization by declaring he wished to re-
move any Misrepresentation by saying he had
not been East especially to represent Mime
sofa or in furtherance of the colonies already
established in this State, but aa a represen-
tative of the Irish Catholic Colonization as
sociation national affair.
The explanation was further given that
this society was the one formed in Chicago
the inducement of Irish Catholic emigration
to Minnesota, but to Kansas, Nebraska and
other Western States as we'll.
BISHOP sPAULDING.
But you can rest assured smilingly OBJ
served the bishop, II conscientously urged
the advantages of Minnesota as an asylum
for the hard driven working classes of the
East
He then went on to relate that in this mis-
sion he had been accompanied by Bishop
Spaulding, of Peoria, Ills.
THE ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION OF THE PROJECT
IN THE EAST.
During the sojourn in the East, it was de-
clared that much interest had been aroused
over the project. The subject had been pre-
scented to capitalists first to induce th EN- to
take stock in the scheme. Then mass meet
ings had been held and the people informed
of the advantages likely to accrue to them
by a removal to the farm lands of the West.
In this way no little interest, even bordering
on enthusiasm, had been awakened among
both these classes, rich and poor, and those
charitably inclined.
Just here the GLOBE man interposed to
learn if anything had been accomplished.
'sThat can best be learned from this circu-
lar.' And thereupon a circular of the q. S.
I. G. G. association was handed the reporter.
AS stated, the object is to induce emigra-
ton from the East to the West. For this
purpose the society has acquired means by
stock subscriptions to help the emigrant.
Homes will be fitted up for him, and his
land broken. and ample time !, extended
him to repay the outlay made for his future
prosperity. s.,Nl .o,,,E..
Bishop Ireland stated that 100000 had
already been taken; $1,000 of the sock had
been placed in the large cities, with the en-
couraging prospect that it would be readily
taken, and Immediately thereafter $4,000
more would be put upon the market. The
bishop felt encouraged to say that the assoc
citation was virtually on a sound basis now.
He supplemented this by, declaring that
preparations had already begun to introduce
the first emigrants to the West. ,r.,t. f5
Then he added that the first experiment.
would be made in MINI, sofa. aL

In tho general colonization scheme.
Bishop Ireland observed that
generally the prospect Of coming West was
joyfully accepted, under the favorable aus
pices off cred. There was much prostration
in business in the East though q partial re-
vival was evident. But this, however, was
not such as to inspire q belief that it was
permanent. The opinion was confidently
entertained that
