CINCINNATI, Dec 14-The ceremony of
comforting the pallium, sent from Rome by
Pope Leo XIII by special messenger, upon
archbishop Elder of this archdiocese, occurred
at the cathedral. At 10 o'clock the procession
of officiating and visiting clergymen in full
caronicals, marched from the Episcopal resi-
dence TO the cathedral, entering the
main door, and marched up the centre isle,
while the organ played a suitable air of joy
full salutation and took their place behind the
sanctuary railing. Pontifical high mass was
then celebrated by Right Rev. McClosky,
bishop of Louisville. At its conclusion
Bishop John Watterscn, Of Columbus,
Ohio addressed the immense audience.
Meanwhile the pallium had been placed at
the foot of the altar. At the conclusion of
the services, Bishop McClosky and Arch
bishop Elder advanced toward the altar.
The latter repeated his confession of faith.
while the other laid the sacred emblem upon
his shoulder. The ceremony was very simple
and brief, but nevertheless filed with inter
est. After comforting the pallium the party
retired to the Episcopal residence and
partook of dinner. Among the distinguished
guests present were Bishop Dwenger, of Fit,
Wayne; Biship Spaulding, of Peoria; Bishop
Janses, of Natchez, Miss; Bishop La Rey, of
New Orleans; Bishop Gilmore, of Cleveland
and many others. Fully 1900 witnessed the
ceremony

The London Times on ParneIrs sreech

LONDON, Dec. l4.-The Times says: There
was never more uncompromising defiance
flung in the face of the English nation
or the government than when Par
nell, in his speech III the ro-
tunda at Dublin on Tuesday even
ing, declared war upon constitutional prin-
ciples in connection with England and Ire
land, 1t is impossible for the public men of
England to regard this renewal OF the Irish
warfare with indifference or contempt. The
situation is serious, and will tax the ability of
English statesmen to the utmost"

CHICAGO, Dec 14-The Rev T. De Wit
Talmage was cornered by reporter just as
he was shout to leave in prosecution Of
short lecturing tour, and after literally de-
nogncirg both political parties for being cor.

ends he said in respect to
NJ rmon question: 81 hold decided views.
In brief, believe that there is only one way
to avoid bloodshed in the extirpation of Nor
monism, and that is the uprising of the
United States government with such over
whelming front that Mormonisn will see it
is impossible to maintain itself. With
half an4-haf legislation Mormonism is only
irritated, aroused and exasperated My
opinion is that nothing but the
surgery of the sword viii take this cancer
out. War is not necessary to put Mormon
ism down; simply the exercise of great
police powers would have every polygam-
Gus Mormon considered a vile culprit, and
would have the whole question treated in an
inexorable fashion. 1t needs an Andrew
jackson kind of man to settle the entire
question in six months Both parties next
year should have in their platforms a plank
antagonistic to Mormonism, and the
candidate of each party should
stand upon it. believe in
the largest liberty for religion, and would
not have interference with Q man if he wor-
shipped Brigham Young or Joe Smith, but
polygamy is a crime against the family and
the government, and should be assaulted and
driven out as crime. President Buchanan
had it in his power to drive it out,
but the idea of a treaty came in, and his
opportunity was lost. He sent out two
representatives as a matter of amity to treat
with Mormondom, and the latter declared it
would stop its opposition to the government
if the troops were withdrawn But the Nor
mons threw down stones on the troops as these
passed through some of the canons, and
some of the soldiers were killed, and Buchanan
thought he had better withdraw his
troops My opinion is that the Nor
mons of the Mountain Meadow mas
sacre displayed the same spirit as the Nor
mons of to-day feel and the only reason they
stopped their butcheries was because the eyes
of Christendom were intently set upon them.
One of the chief difficulties in suppressing
MOrmonsm is that the MOrnons mollify with
their theories ubic men that visit them, and
it is very difficult to contend with a man
after you have received his courtesies"

gentleman, however but referred to the fact
that the newspapers throughout the country
opposed him. In consequence thereof they
considered it bad policy to place his name in
nomination. They also maintained that Mr.

ing on the selection of Chicago as the place

were the chief bidders for the Republican
national convention. Messers. Plat and
JuGson wanted it in Saratoga because it
would aid the committee to raise more money

Cincinnati, because Ohio was doubtful, and
if she was lost all would be lost Mayor

Republicans would lead forlorn hope. For
reasons why Chicago was chosen inquire of
Mr.. John A. Logan. The Republicans evil
