with their neighbors. arguing that they cannot
remain passive spectators of systematic attacks
on the church. The Bishop has also addressed
a pastoral to the parishes thus deprived of
priests, in which he explained what has happen

themselves. and asked for prayer that peace may
soon be restored to the church.
In the Chamber of Deputies, to- day, NJ Goblet
explained that he had deprived the twenty nine
priests of their stipends on account of their be-
havior in the elections. He said he would up
hold the church, but he would exact of the cler-

answer expected would be, "Customs, internal
revenue and sale of public lands;" but if the can

sugar." he would be credited with answering the
question correctly. Congressman Baker. the

''Mr. Commissioners, that reminds me of the

Bayard's Opposition to Hanna.

Special to the INDIANAPOLIS journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15-It is asserted that
Mr.. Bayard will use his influence as Secretary
of State against the confirmation of Mr. Bayless
w. Hanna as United States minister to the Ar
gentine Republic. Mr. Hanna's course as a dip
Tomato has not come up to the standard of dig
nifty set by the &ustere Secretary Of State, hence
his desire that the Senate should reject his name.
1t is scarcely credible that the American Prime
Minister could be guilty of such duplicity, and
yet the assertion comes from some of the most
stanch supporters Of the administration that he
is disposed to look with favor upon the fight
that has been inaugurated against Mr.. Hanna.

Monday evening at 8 o'clock. he
preached a special sermon for the
colored people at the Opera House,
and every seat and quite nll the
standing room was occupied by q

was plain, direct and pointed. 1t
dealt with the evil practices and hab-

The number of conversions and
