NORTH DAKOTA.
Bishop Shanley, bishop OF Jamestown.
called on the secretary OF che interior
the other day and protested against the
action of Indian Commissioner Morgan
in abolishing one day scboo! and one
industrial boarding school at and near
the Turtle Mountain Indian reservation
ia North Dakota. .Bishop Shanley
strongly protested against the arbitrary
action of the commissioner in this mat"
ter. It was clearly shown in the recenk
Senate discussion over the Indian ap.
preparations that the schools conducted
bv Catholics were less costly and mora
efficient than either the governments
schools or those conducted by non
Catholic bodies. The government saves
more trouble and expense and provides
better for the education al needs OF its
Indian wards by patronizing Catholic
schools already in existence than it can
hope to do under any other arrange
rnent. These, facts have been clearly
brought out in Congressional debate On
the subject and have won for the Cath
oiic schools the practical indorsemens
Of the National legislature. But Morgan
does rot propose to be guided by tina
sense Of Congress in the conduct Of his
bureau. il he can help it; hence he i'm"
proves every opportunity to injure the
Catholic schools. when the doing so
does not involve the risk Of official GEN.
sure. In decreoing the abolition OF che
Catholic schools at Turtle Mountain
Reservation the reverend commissioner
evidently did not anticipate the public
exposure which the Dakota prelate'g
course has given his act. The Secretary
of the Interior promised to take the
subject under advisement.

out Of the state by the yig1lantes foF
stealing chickens from neighbor. OH
we know him."
