BUFFALO, N. ", Oct. 5.-Siuce the mur.
der of DR.. Cronin at Chicago friends of
Rev. Patrick Cronin. of this city, who, as
editor of the Catholic Union, has been
particularly severe in his denunciation
of the conspirators, have known that he
was marked man. In this weeks issue
of the Catholic Union Father Cronin edi-
torially announces that he has been in
receipt of threatening letters, some
anonymous, others signed, though la
beled mot for publication" Continuing,
he says:
We have not been reared in the cowardly at.
mosphere OF Irish secret society mummery and
so are not accustomed to tremble at the threats
OF the high muck-amucks'' OF such organiza-
tions. For over a score of years, through good
report and evil report we have up
held the stainless banner OF Ireland. Does
any miserable creature OF a murderous
conspiracy imagine that we Will finch now, or
abate one iota of just ind gnation against

cago. The development of the tralA are such
as to make one wonder whether this is Ameri-
ca and this is the Nineteenth century. Men
are condemned to death in q secret conclave of
irresponsible and thevsh scoundrels and the
Government of the greatest republic of history
is able neither TO protect the victims nor
avenge their slaughter. Are the people of
America dreaming, or is this in truth a
CHASTITY rawhead and bloody bones reali-
W. Do the consprators or their sympa-

relatives imagine that any decent journal will
be dplom ltic in dealing with such infernalisms 7
We know not what other papers may do, but
for our part, in season and out Of season, We
will raise our voices in demanding that the lur-
ing villains who wrought Cronin's foul assas-
sination shall be hunted of the face of the
earth on which they are carrion and pollu-
tion. And for those who would endeavor to in
timidate us, we have only pitless contempt.
This is our reply to the threatening and insult

explicit enough? If not. we will have some

Alcohol and ApopIexy.

Tho Irish World presents to its
readers the following wholesome les
son concerning alcohol and apoplexy:
1T is the essential nature OF all
wines and spirits to send an increased
amount of blood to the brain. The
first effect of taking a glass of wine or
stronger form of alcohol is to send the
blood there faster than common.
Hence the circulation that gives the
red face 1t increases the activity OF
the brain and it works faster, and so
does the tongue. but as the blood goes
faster than common to the brain it re-
turns faster and no immediate harm
may result. But suppose man keeps
on drinking; the blood is sent to the
brain so fast in large quantities that
in order to make room for it the arter-
les have to charge themselves. They
increase in size. and in doing so they
press against the more yielding, faccid
veins which carry the blood out of the
brain and dimipish the size of the
pores, the result being that the blood
Is not only carried to the arteries OF
the brain faster than is natural or
healthful but is prevented from leav-
ing it as fast as usual. Hence double
set of causes of death are in operation.
Hence a man may drink enough bran
dy or other spirits in few hours, or
even minutes. to bring on a fatal at
tack of apoplexy. This is being liter.

FROM THE NORTHWEST.

Dire Effects of the Drought Along the In
ternational Boundary-Stock Suffering
for Food and Water-A Poor Chance
for Smugslers to Operate.
WINNIPEG. Man., Oct. Ar eports from
ranching districts along the Internation-
al boundary indicate great scarcity of
food and water, and stock is suffering in
consequence. Owing TO the unusually
dry season the amount of hay put up was
small, and immense stretches Of prairie
have lately been burned over. The out
look is so discouraging that some ranch
ers offer to give their cattle away, know
ing that death from starvation is almost
certain.
Hon. McKen zie Dowell has returned
from a trip along the International
boundary from the Red river to the
Rocky mountains, the object of his jour.
ney being to ascertain from personal OBJ.
servation the best means of preventing
the smuggling of horses, cattle and
whisky Into Manitoba and the Northwest.
The entire distance-over 800 miles-is
patroled twice a week by mounted police,
and there being no settlements, the
chances for successful smuggling are
very small.

The London Lancet recently gave a
series OF tables, showing the death
rate, between the ages OF % and 65, OF
men engaged ia occupations that put
before them constant temptation to
drink, and those who were not thus
exposed. These showed that for
every 397 deaths from liver diseases
in the former class, there were but SO
in the latter; and that to 1872 deaths
from kidney diseases among the
former, there were but 107 among the
latter. And in the cases OF deaths
from diseases Of the heart and of the
circulatory system, All died OF the
former class to 250 of the latter. That
is, the death rate from diseases OF
these three great organs is more than
twice as great among the classes ex-
posed to the temptation of drink as
among those not SO exposed.
There is a long train of other
troubles due also to the liquor habit.
Inflammation of the lining membrane
OF the stomach. resulting in dyspepsia
In its most distressing forms; various
nervous affections, due to the in
furious effect of alcohol upon the deli
cate structures of the brain and
nerves, and many minor evils, which
we lack space to describe fully.
Enough has been shown, however. to
convince any thinking man that alco-
hol in any form is simply a poison.
and that indulgence in it, in any way,
largely increases the liability to the
gravest disorders. Nor will it escape
| the attention of the observant reader
that the diseases of the three great
organs of the body, enumerated above,
resulting from the use Of intoxicants,
are all of them of most dangerous.
and often of necessarily fatal, char.
acter
The law lays it heavy hand upon the
sale of all other poisons, and hedges
but the sale OF alcohol, in its myriad
seductive forms, is unrestricted in any
such way. Yet more men die of this
poison per annum than of the aggre-
gate of all others for score of years!
This is fact that is we'll worth the
attention of every friend of Temper
ance. Why this broad distinction in
favor of one poison? Simply because
there is an enormous profit in its sale.
The rum power battles against all
legislation aimed at putting this sale
under proper surveillance from the
purely selfish motive Of sordid gain
