ent Protestants continually. If Father
Chiniquy believes this, he is fool and
an idiot; if he does not, heis contempt
ible knave. Probably there is aa admix-
ture of both elements in b s composition.
That mountebank should endeavor to
recruit his purse by the propagation of
lies and ISLANDERS is bad enough, though
100 common to excite comment, but that
churches should open their doors to men
of this description is shame and a dis
grace to religion. No more loyal citizens
can be found in the United States than
Catholics and everyone is we'll aware that
a Catholic whether in Germany, Great
Brita or the United States, imbibes
! loyalty with his religion. Libels and
| falsehoods do not hurt the parties they
are aimed at but they do the churches
| which allow their influences 10 be used
to propagate lies It is the cause cham
pioned by Chiniquy and Golightly Mor~
rill that suffers, as every cause must
suffer that is linked with lying, rasca)ity
and knavery.

tiers OF Grand Forks county, was burned
to death at his farm. He was widower
and lived alone with only a hired man.
The man awoke in time to grab his
clothes and escape. The portion OF the

Governor Burke, of North Dakota, has
appointed Col Charles a. Morton, Of
Fargo, receiver and treacnrer for any con-~
tributions offered for the starving Rus
slams. After giving, in a huraane and
Christian spirit, his reason for the appeal,
he closes in these noble words: "It is be-
coming that our thanksgiving to God
whose favor we enjoy in such marked DE-
gree, should be manifested IN large gifts
to His suffering children in less PROS
pered lands He gives twice who gives
quickly. They are dying while we delay"
