should not be allowed to rest under this dis
advantage. The bishop expressed it as his
belief that no State afforded better ield to
the agricultnrist than our own. in soil and
stability of climate. He was willing
to have it stand the test against any other,
with the confident assurance that in all re.
spects our State was supreme. Firm in this
belief, and feeling that all residents shared
it with him, he could not but feel that our
people did not do their State justice by rep
resenting 1t abroad. This could be- repaired
by inviting visitors to the State. In further
ance of this, tho bishop had invited, and
received a favorable response, over
thirty prominent men of Boston, Philadel-
phia and New York to visit our State. They
would be here in month, and it was the

In this connection, the bishop deemed it a
wiser policy if the railroads would inaugur.
ate series of excursions, and thus flood the
country with visitors, and every one would
take home glowing account of Minnesota.
THE BISHOPS ENTHUSIASM
was sincere, begotten of familiar acquain-
lance with the subject and theinature of the
country of which he spoke. And in this
way he intmated. he had talked to eastern
friends and audiences. In this con-
nection he stated that over
10000 copies of the State Catholic Colonial
ton Bureaus pamphlet had been distributed
in the East, and they had not been circulat-
ed at random, but with an eye to serving q
good and immediate purpose.
In conclusion, Bishop Ireland epitomized
his remarks in the one word, ADVERTISE.
ARCHBISHOP PURCELL, OF CINCINNATI.
In the course of the conversation reference
was made to the lamentable financial diff
culties embarrassing Archbishop Purcell.
In response, Bishop Ireland gave an &C.
count of the meeting of over thirty bishops
at the residence of His Eminence Cardinal
McCloskey, where plan was
devised for the venerable prelate's relief. A
full statement of the archbishop's liabilities
were made and embodied in an address to
the church, asking. that contributions be
made to assist in this great aud commenda-
BILE charity. No church is laid under obliga-
tons to contribute, but all are expected
for the honor and welfare of Holy church
to como to the aid of the venerable and I'M
fortunate archbishop.
Bishop ireland stated that in this diocese
papers would be circulated at once for sub
scriptions. Following this, general collec-
tions in all the churches would be taken ND.
The bishop was free to confess that he hoped
generous response would be made to
this call in behalf of SO
venerated dignitary of the church, who
in the nobleness of his nature and little ac-
quaintance with business details had.fsllen
into great and distressing embarrassment.
ST. PATRICK 'ssCATHEDRAL.
Allusion was made to the ceremonial of
the conservation of st. Patrick's cathedral
in New York. Bishop Ireland was there and
took part in the ceremonies, though not
as one of the celebrants. He
mentioned the ceremonial as grand, impress
ing, beautiful and solemn; and spoke of the
church as an edi6ce marvellous in it's
architectural appointments and imposing
beauty. With some further remarks of
general character, the int resting converse
ton closed, and the GLOBE reporter reluct-
antly departed.
