neighbors. Inscribed on the bell is his
name, that of his wife and the amount

The following item from the Litch-
field Saturday Review gives an account
of the death of Mrs. D. German at Litch-
field last week. Mrs. Gorman was q
daughter of MIR. and Mrs. Richard
Knights, formerly of Buffalo: "Isabel,
wife of d. German, died at about 10
o'clock, Tuesday evening, of typhoid
pneumonia, after an illness of about
week. She was taken sick on Tuesday
of last week and grew rapidly worse un-
til she died. Her mother and sister were
sent for and we're with her when she
died. She was conscious most of the
time until the last, and just before her
death, bid her husband, little children,
and other relatives good bye. She leaves
a heart-broken husband and three little
children, who have the heartfelt SYM
pathy of the community. Mrs. German
was kind and loving wife and mother,
and was needed in her home to care for
her children, but the allwise God called,
aud she had to 60. Deceased was born
in Ascot, Quebec, May s, 1862, and came
with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Richard
Knights, to Minnesota in 1871. On May
8, 1882, she was married to- Mr.. Gorman,
and has since made her home in this city.
The funeral was held at the Catholic
church on Thursday at 10 o'clock, and
was conducted by Rev. 2. J. Boland."

Bishop Marty states that the publica-
tion of Father Stephan's report twas
withhold by me, not because the charges
it contains are not important enough, but
because it seems that the moment
Catholic complains against manifest in
justice at the hands of the present adj
m1nistration, a cry is raised of making a
religious issue in politics. Because OF
such an anticipated misrepresentation
Catholic work in behalf of the Indians
has suffered in silence, even though Mr..
Morgan's methods have persistent|y
aimed at crippling our educational work
and practically destroying our property,
amounting to more than two millions OF
dollars in the various missions. Now
chat others have published some of thesa
facts, I do not find that delicacy requires
me any longer to conceal them, and it is
| we'll that the public should know them.
Finally, scharges against Mr.. Morgan,
| made in the report, by no means COM
prise the statemen of all the wrongs IT,
wards Catholic Indians during that gen,
| tleman's term OF Office. The substantial
charges can be multiplied ten-fold. In
deed. it seems time tn ask whether any
government official is above the American
constitu tion, can repeatedly violate the
| God given rights of parents and can con-
tinue to dare to take children forcibly
from their parents, and, in spite OF them.

instructing agents to continue this out-s
rage. until forced to let go by writ OF
habeas corpus. This infamous act, com-
mitted year ago at the Santee agency
regarding children at the Grow Creek
mission schools in this diocese, was re-
newed not long since by Mr.. Morgan's
agents in New Mexico, and was again re-
peated When, but few weeks ago, he
disregarded the tears and prayers OF
parents and children, and refused to
allow the latter to return to the Crow
Creek mission schools. The sooner the
wrongs continued for four years be made
known to the public the better, even
though the initiative in the matter has
been taken by friends Of the administra-
tion. Upon them must now rest the re-
sponsibility Of their publication
