LENT.

We extract the following from the
circular letter of Archbishop Leray of
the Catholic church.
l. On account of the stringency of the
times and the difficulty for many per-
sons OF obtaining lenten diet, the use of
meat is permitted for every day during
Lent, except Wednesdays and FRIDAYS
and the three Ember days. Those who
fast, ought, on those days, to eat meat
at butOne meal. Those who are dis
pensed from fasting may use it at every
meal.
2. Every day during Lent the use of
fish is fobidden at any meal where flesh
issued.
8. Those who may have reasons for
being dispensed, wholly or partly, from
the above regulations in regard to fast
and abstinence, ought to consult their
pastors or!confessors and act upon their
advice only.
4. The period accorded for the per-
Torrance of the Easter duty will com
mence ON the first Sunday of Lent and
terminate Trinity Sunday.
3. During Lent there will be, as far as
possible, in every church, Instructions
calculated to enlighten the faithful as
to the duties of a christian life, and we
earnestly eXhort all Catholics to assist
faithfully atthese instructions so that
the graces which God has prepared for
them herein may not be lost to them.

Sheriff Duson of St. Landry Parish,
La, was in town last week. Capt.
Duson is the gentleman who killed
Euclid Curtis and captured Charlie.
He, is a shrewd thorough going man,
and makes good sheriff. IT the South
had more such sheriff in her counties
there would be less crime. By the
shrewdness and ingenuity Of Capt.
Dus0n with the assistance of orr eff
Gent city marshal Mr.. Walter Steel,
two men who had committed one OF
the most damnable murders on record
were checked in their ''early career"
Euclid Curtis convicted and sentenced
to imprisonment for life. All who
know the particulars of this case thor
ough!y agree with us. We understand
that sheriff Dnson received a very good
reward for his labor, all of which he
deserved and it would be nothing but
just that Mr.. Steel who took such an
active part in it should be compensated.

Father Stack Sues Bisbou O,Hara.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. ga new suit has
been brought in the courts of this city by
Father Stack, a Roman Catholic priest,
against Bishop O'Hara, because Of the
bishops continued refusal to reinstate the
priest in a professional Office. The present
suit created much surprise, inasmuch as it
was supposed the former difficulties had
been settled at Rome about year ago, when
Father Stack visited the propaganda and was
recognized in his priestly capacity by being
permitted to celebrate mass in Saint Peters.
However, after his return to America the
bishop still objected to giving him an ap-
pointnent unless he would sign an apology
for having sought redress in the civil courts,
and renounce all right TO invoke their aid in
the future, and also retract the positions ad-
vanced in controversy. This was declined
by the priest The subject at issue has been
twice before the supreme court Of the state.
The parties have been contesting the case
for more than twelve years.

Franklin Mac veagh on Cleveland.

Especial Telegram to the Globe.I
CHICAGO, Sept. 26.-While on an eastern
trip, from which be returned few days ago.
Mr.. Franklin MacVeagh availed himself of
the opportunity to call ON Gov. Cleveland.
To representative of the GLOBE this
morning Mr.. MacVeagh recounted some of
his impressions of the Democratic candidate
for the presidency. 81 found," he said,
''after a few moments conversation with
Mr.. Cleveland that all my favorable impress
sions of the man were fully confirmed. He
is all and more than has ever been claimed
for him. The contrast between him and Blaine
is remarkable, almost picturesque. You
can't escape from Blaine's Overwhelming
personality. In the atmosphere surrounding
the Republican candidate there is hardly
suggestion of the eountry's good, or even of
the party's Understanding but Blaine
and his ambitions. But to see and converse
with Cleveland you would hardly suspect
that he was a candidate. Cleveland rises
above personal feeling in the matter-he
actually does. He is calm and confident,
but does not seem to look upon
his election from a personal point OF view,
except as circumstance which brings him
instead of some other man into a position
where it is possible to do much for the coun
try. 1t seems to me that Cleveland's sense
of public office being public trust is just
about perfect. In conversing with him on
public matters you don't seem to be listen
ing to politician or candidate for Office, and
lose sight of the fact that you are
talking to man who will probably
be our next president. He has interesting
and instructive ideas on the subject of good
government. His political convictions are
as firmly grounded and clear cut as possible,
and every letter. every speech or other utter
ance bearing on public matters proves how
consistent he is in living up to those convic-
| tions. His idea of his duty toward the
public whom he serves transcends every other
consideration. 1 consider Cleveland the best
fitted man for the occasion of any nominee
of either party since Abraham Lincoln. So
we Independents have not only the motive
of putting him against our own candidate
which is sufficient motive-but the desire
of supporting a man whom we feel is in
every way fitted for the position. There is
an augean stable to be cleaned out. Cleve-
land is the hercules of present public life. "
