| what The BULLETIN thinks of Rev. Thomas
Masterson's letter. and whether it has
| pluck enough to give its candid opinion Of
said letter. THE BULLETIN has repeatedly
stated It's position upon the matters dis
cussed by Father Masterson, and failed to
see any necessity for reiterating what it had
thinks that Father Masterson's letter was
an able statement of the matter under dis
cussion viewed from his standpoint.
THE BULLETIN endorses Father Masterson's
letter in some particulars, in others 1t does
not. II is of the same opinion il has al
ways ocen with reference to the influence
of the marine office and station in their
present locations. II is also
Of the same opinion it has
always been with reference to the
good influences of the Infrnary proper,
and believes, with Rev Masterson,
and every citizen of Cairo that
departure of the Sisters from Cairo would
be calamity. Unlike Granny Argus, THE
| BULLETIN did not allow the first note OF
opposition to suppress ita voice

itary good of the community.
And now that The BULLETIN has gracious

infected and caused the disease to break

She will deny that she ever published
