will offering of the Catholic total alb
stainers of America to the great educa-
tional institution that is to be estab-
lished in the capital city Of the United
States and will remain forever as living
evidence of the fervent petition that
temperance principles may march hand
in hand with the higher intellectual de.
yelopment of the nation. In no way
can we better testify our regard for the
memory of Father Mathew, or our
loyalty to the principles he taught, than
by our contributions to this fund. Mr..
James Dillon Is the member OF the
general committee from our union, and
| had the honor to he elected as national
treasurer of tbs fund. Our sister unions
all over the the country are making the
necessary arrangements for paying in
their subscriptions previous to the
meeting of the national convention at
Cleveland, next August, and there is
no doubt our Minnesota union will GO
Der fall share in helping along the good
work. One hundred dollar subscrip-
tions have already been received from

hi ney, of St. Paul; James Dillon, OF
st. Paul; Peter Curley. OF Minneapolis
and John O'Brien, Of Saltwater, max
! ing total of six hundred dollars sub
scriped by members OF our union up to
date. I would recommend that lists be
opened in each society for the PERCEPTION
of one dollar subscriptions. and that
all moneys collected be forwarded to
Mr.. James Dillon, OF St. Paul, previous
to August l. The name Of each So
ciety and the name of each member
contributing to the fund, will be re-
| ported to the Cleveland convention;
and correct list OF all contributing
societies and individuals will be pre-
served in the archives IF our own and
the rational III ions, Undoubtedly
such lists will also be preserved in the

| MISCELLANEOUS.
The reports OF the secretary and
treasurer will exhibit to you the statis-
itcal aud fuarcial condition of the
Union. l need not urge that harmony
ar 4 fraternal fellowship should cbarac-
terize all the proceedings of this con
vention. Your past history assures
this. Let no qubblings over petty
technjcalities interfere with the proper
dispatch, IF the business Of this meet
ing. You are here, delegates, to legis-
late for the advancement Of the cause
of Catholic total abstinence. Let no
other mutove animate YOU. May all
selfish pride be covered out Of sight by
the high ambition of pleasing God and
dong only his will in the work we
have before us.

final term as president of this union, l
desire to extend to the officers and
