A large party Of Eastern newspaper
men passed through Chicago this weel
on Western trip. No doubt the
are trying to emulate their Seutherr
brethren who recently took q rul
down into Mexico.
Chicago Irishmen are much in favor
of the Pope attending to his own spir-
itual business, aud paying less atten,
ton to the villsinOus ISLANDERS heapet
upon Ireland By English minions
The Pope should be made 70 under
stand that the IRISH are merely fighting
for those rights plundered from their
country by England, and that
if be interleres in the ty,
rants behalf be need no longer
count on 1rishnen as his most loyal
subjects. When the Pope's temporal
rights we're about to be trampled upon
few years ago, Irishmen were among
the first to rally to his standard Is
it because of this gallant action that
he now turns his power against them
when they are fighting for freedom
from horrible bondage? If so. then it
is time that Irishmen cut loose from
religious masters, and remain free
until their country Is emaucipated
from its present hateful bondage.
England has long since failed in her
cruel agitation OF the Orange and the
Green question. Irish intelligence
buried deep that infamous policy.
Now the 6end attempts to corrupt the
powers at Rome and prostitute the
Pope to her base purposes This
plan, too, will fail, if Irishmen will
promptly tell His Holiness to remain
neutral in the present fight. The
Pope should be made to understand
that when his rights were threatened
by the Italian government he was
quick to resort to arms to repel the
tyrant, and that o.day Ireland merely
occupies the same position he did,
only with the difference that her
wrongs are more grievous and her
tyrant master a cruel monster.
General Napoleon B. Buford, who
lately died in Chicago, was gallant
Union soldier aud officer during our
late brotherly squabble. In his will
he bequeathed his sword to Thomas
Buford Metyard, son of his old Adju>
tant General. 1t is strange he did not
leave it to his own son, Temple Bu-
ford. rr
The veterinary surgeons of Illinois
were in convention in Chicago this
week. The object Of the association
is for their mutual advancement and
protection, etc.
A Chicago vagrant the other day
paid his fine out of $50 bill. This
led to his detention. Soon it was
learned by the authorities that citi-
zen's house had been robbed the day
before, and that $50 bill was among
the things stolen. This will send Mr..
Hiram Rooney to the penitentiary.
Snow fell in Chicago Monday morn
ing. This did not surprise the ma
tives. The weather has been so
erratic lately that the people are pre-.
pared for the most extraordinary an
tics. Tonight it is cold aud raining

our coat and desires to sell US a pic
ture Of the falls. Away with 1T. What,
shall we leave the reality for the
shadow We want to daguerreotype
the reality on our minds and carry it
with us as we have seen it. So away
with the types and shadows of the
ceremonial law. Now, in the realiza-
ton of Christ, HIS death broke down
the wall Of partition between the Jew
and Gentle that previously existed
for 1000 years, which kept US from
visible access to-God. We we're aliens
and strangers, scorned By Jews and
despised, not allowed to enjoy even
the typical presence OF God. The veil
of the temple was rent and all diVis-
ions we're broken down so that all
men could come to God through
Jesus Christ. Christianity knows no
sacrament. Jesus Christ is the only
high priest and mediator and has done
away with priestcraft, attorneys and
sponsors in Christianity.
We must not come into the church
or throught it to Christ; that would
put the church before Christ. The
Baptist central doctrine is the blood
before water, but some would have the
water before the blood. We do not
prosecute otbe,s for differing from US.
1t is their right. Baptism is not es
sential to salvation, but salvation is
essential to baptism"

ExlRAVAGANCEIN THE NINTH
WARD.
A Lavish Outlay OF Money for
improvements.

EDITOR LEDGER: see that from
the tone of the morning papers we
have Just cause for complaint in the
Ninth ward. 1t seems that somebody
has been complaining that we don't
get anything done in Chelsea. |
would like the best in the world to
find out who he is that dare tell such
falsehood, right here in daylight
Why, we have had a ditch filled up
on Safarans street that cost $50, and
Seventh street rounded up that cost
about $75-and Second street was
worked on this spring. Ir exon that
the fixing OF it cost as much as SlOO;
SO, you see, we have had about $205
worth of work done in Chelsea this
year, and that fellow says we don't
get anything done. Why, he ought to
be ashamed of himself to tell such.
And that is not all. We are going
to have bridge over the bayou on
Third street that will cost as much as
$1,000. Why should they spend all
the money they get in the Ninth wardP
Just think how much is spent in
Chelsea about $500. No wonder
that they cant go on with the Second
street pavement; all the money was
spent in the Ninth ward.
Just think. They can't pay but
$4,000 for a culvert in South Mem
phis. because all the money was used
10 the Ninth waid. Just look at the
curbings that have been put down in
the Ninth-about $50 feet on Fifth
street. / forgot; we had some work
done last year. Why. the; gas works
bridge on Front street was repaired.
but south Memphis got stone bridge
on jackson and Main as an offset.
Our bridge cost about $500, the other
about $1,000.
We may be forgotten some times,
but not always, for there is time
when the taxes are due that we are
remembered; but as soon as they get
them then they say that's all we want
with you until the next time. So
time rolls on and nothing done in the
Ninth, and some one said that we had
plenty of police. So we have, but not
in the Ninth. | will bet you can take
walk above Chelsea and you can't
find policeman or a slop cart.
Just let US look back and see how
much paving has been done in
Memphis. and how much Of that has
been done north Of Winchester street
and how much south:
South-Vance, from Wellington tc

The Catholic Standard, oil Philadel-
phia, has an article on Finerty, who
proposes to boycott the Pope, saying Of
him:
"As to his Irish patriotism it is of
the loud, blatant, surface type, that
shows itself principally by the use OF
such language as demagogues delight
in, and which by its silly extravaganoe
leads captive mobs, and illustrates the
wise purposes OF good men and true.
Such language is very cheap, the kind
OF language with which the Oareys,
Normans, Kavanaghs,an and other heart
less government spies charmed their
unsuspecting victims into the tolls OF
the British lion"
AGAIN:
"Heraves in the style Of thorough
Protestant or Freemason about the
policy OF the Vatican and Leo Kills
intolerable impertinence and unholy
intervention, the Italian lash, the
Irish race bulldoz,d into slavery by
the bayOnets of England and the
thunders Of Rome"
Suppose, the Standard says, the
Pope's revenues could be reduced by
the blatherskites-
1T only means that so far they would
be instrumental in iDIuring the Church
as TO her temporal means OF upholding
religion and its interests everywhere
throughout the world. Peter pence
do not go to help the Pope individu-
ally nor his court, but to serve religion
everywhere. The Irishman therefore
who. to punish the Pope. Withhllds
his Peter pence, is furnishing not the
Pope, but his destitute Catholic
brethren in missionary lands and des
olate places throughout the world"
