Catholic Marriages In Nebraska.

Omaha Bee: Archbishop Elder, of
Cincinnati, has notified the congregation
worsh;ping in St. Peters cathedral that
marriages will be solemnized only in the
morning. The rule has been adopted,
the archbishop says. for the reason that
it is more Catholic for marriages to occur
during the morning hours, and that the
custom of afternoon and evening we'd
dings is one which fashion hus dictated,
and it divests the ceremony OF much OF
its sacredness. AS q consequence the
vows are often lightly taken, and
divorces have multiplied. This rule has
also been promulgated by Bishop
O'Connor, of the vlcariate of Nebraska,
but in somewhat different wording, the
matter insisted on being that all marri.
ages of Catholics take place at nuptial
mass, the ceremony being part OF the
mass, and the couple partaking of COM
munion. As priest, groom and bride
must necessarily under the circumstances
be fasting, it is not probable that nuptial
masses in the afternoon would become
very popular.

The Convention Apportloument.


VolRa Tribune: At the territorial con.
vention held at Grand Forks two years
ago, Brookings county was allowed
twelve delegates, and at the convention
to be held at Pierre on Sept. 18th, we
will have but nine, thus cheating this
county out Of three delegates. As will
be seen by the proceedings of the terri.
torial central committee in another col.
umn, the representation was apportioned
to the different counties on their total
vote cast for delegate to congress at the
last general election without regard to
whether that was republican or demo.
cratic. This action cannot but be con.
demned by all thinking men, as being
tho first piece of jobbery in the
campaign which is just opening. This
apportionment gives the advantage tc
the democratic counties as giving them
q representation on their democratic vote
in republican convention. The action
of the committee does not bear upon its
face even the shadow of right, as every
person who will give the matter {
moments thought will agree.

There is in the minds Of the people of
Yankton an almost settled conviction
that the coal discoveries on the Jencks

value. Geological opinion assures US

What Captain o,Beirn, Saw,

Washington, Aug. l-Your correspon.
dent had another short conversation with
Captain O'Be,rne, a prominent New
York Irishman, who is very active in be-
half OF Blaine and Logan. He expressed
the belief that most of the Taumany
people would eventually support Cleve-
land, although in half.hearted way
that would show no enthusiasm. He
thought that later John Kelly would de.
clare himself in favor of the ticket, but
unless he got what he wanted he would
not try 70 lift very hard. Kelly is for
Kelly, first, last, and all the time, and al.
ways wants his price. "But," he con-
tlnued. "the action of Tammaay, which
is purely political organization, will
have no influence with the workingmen.
Few of the latter are controlled.
The Tammany crowd, outside of
few swallow.tails, who control it, is
largely composed of saloon keepers,
bummers, and heelers, who make their
living out of politics in one way or
another. The real laboring men have
nothing to gain from such an organiza.
tion. This year they are showing 8
greater spirit of independence than ever
before. They are tired of hanging to the
skirts OF the democratic party, which
cares for nothing except their votes to
enable them to get the official spoils.
They have been the democratic catspaw
long enough. Actions speak louder than
words, and the difference between the
acts of the democrats and their smooth
promises to the workingmen is fast

1t comes out through private channels
that Ordway made strong effort,
through his personal friend, the secretary
of the navy, to secure re.appointment
as governor of Dakota. He has stated
that he did not want the place and would
make no effort to secure it, but the fact
is that strong pressure was brought to
bear in Ordway's behalf. The secretary
of the interior positively refused to en-.
tertain any proposition looking to his
retention in Office and this is how it hap.
pened that Dakota was rid of the official
presence of the most unpopular man
