CATHOLIC FINANCES.

ICincinnati Special to Chicago Tribune.1
report gained currency here to-day that
the venerable Archbishop Purcell has written
to the Pope asking to be relieved from all
active church duties, and that this action was
the result of the troubled condition of the
financial affairs of the Catholic church in
Cincinnati. Investigation proves that the
archbishop has asked from Rome for the ap
pointment of bishop. with cardinate pow
ers to share with him the labors and respon-
sibilities of his high Office. Should the re-
quest be granted, the archbishop will retain
his pr, sent titles and authority, bnt will be
relieved from the burden of managing the
financial interests of the church, which have
grown into large proportions. Archbishop
Purcell is - years old, and began his labors
in Cincinnati when there was but one Cath
Ole church in the city. In regard
to the reports of the financial
troubles, which have been freely cir
the archbishop, this morning made
the following statement: There has been q
run for several days by depositors which the
church managers have been semewhat en-
barrassed TO meet. There have also been
some losses-one Of S6O,OOO-by the Slevin
failure, but the church has large and
valuable property, which IS ample security
| for her liabilities. A financial failure would
be impossible, and depositors are gradually
coming to understan this, and are qnieting
their fears. It may be stated in explanation
! that the authorities of the church have for
many years received from the Catholic peo-
pie their savings, giving notes bearing inter
est in return. This money has been reloan-
ed to the Catholic church and schools, hos
pltals. and individuals, at a higher rate of
interest. Thus an ecclesiastical savings
bank of very large proportion has grown up.
The same causes that have affected other
savings banks have effected this system, and
serious embarrassment is the result. Within
the past few weeks five OR six of the most
valuable pieces of Catholic property have
been mortgaged for heavy sums, and the
proceeds paid over to the anxious Geposi,ors
There is no doubt whatever that the people
who have committed their earnings TO The
care of the church will receive every cent
back, but the present situation is none the
less embarrassing to all parties. S. d
