Bad News for Many Who Invested in
Telegraph stock.

Elias +. Bowen, receiver Of the Great
Western Telegraph Company, recovered
a verdict at Chicago on the 29th for 1915
against A. J. Hoagland, stockholder in
the company. This verdict will effect
1000 other stockholders, who will
now be proceeded against as rap
idly as possible. 1t is the outcome
of litigation which has been GO
ing on since the company became
insolyent in 1874 The receiver found
the assets less than sufficient to satisfy
claims and application was made to
Judge Tuley to fix the stockholders
liability. After considerable figuring
the receiver was authorized 70 sue each
stockholder for 80 per cent. of the par
value Of his stock. HOagland's was the
first case tried, and the receivers at
torney feels confident OF success in al

Republican victory, the prospects of
which grow brighter every day, can be
imperiled only by lack of unity in coun-
ell or by acrimonious contest over men.
The issue of protection is incalculably
stronger and greater than any man, for
1t concerns the prosperity of the present
and Of generations yet to come. Were
ii possible for every Voter of the
republic TO gee for himself the
condition and recomPense of labor
in Europe, the party of free trade in
the United States would not receive the
support of one wageworker between
the two oceans. 1t may not be directly
in our power as philanthropists to ele
vate the European laborer, but it will
be a Lasting stigma upon orr 5tatesti1aii
SHIP il we permit the American laborer
to be forced down to the European
level. And in the end the rewards of
labor everywhere will be advanced if
we steadily refuse to lower the standard
at home. Yours very sincerely,

THE IRISH BISHOPS.
A Document Giving a Qualified Approx
al of the Rescript.

The document of the Irish bishops,
which has reached Rome, admits the
right of the Holy See to interfere in
matters of morality. The plan of cam-
paign and boycotting, therefore, come
under the jurisdiction of the rescript,
which they receive with reverence.
The bishops are constrained to remark,
however, that the Holy See has been in
correctly informed in regard to the acts
condemned by the rescript, and that
the circumstances which give rise
TO those acts as means of defense and
legitimate resistance ought to be consid-
cred. The document adduces a num-
Der of statistical data to prove that the
disputes between the landlords and the
tenants have a political character and
have nothing to do with matters Of
morals or religion. 1t concludes with
renewed expressions Of devotion and
respect for the decisions of the Holy
See. 1t is now reported that Mgr. Per-
sico, the papal envoy, was opposed to
the publication of the rescript as inop-
