ST. PAUL, Mimi, Jan 31.-When
Archbishop Ireland was shown the
dispatch from St Louis stating he
would succeed Mgr. Satolli as papal
delegate to this country, he was at
first inclined TO consider IL as too i'm

eral public would be interested in u
definite statement of the subject, he
said;
"When Mgr. Satolli shall be recalled
he will have successor and that sue
cessor will come from Rome. 1t is de-
cidedly the policy Of the pope that no
bishop occupying any see in the
United States could be the dele
gate TO this country. The reason
is very plain. The bishop himself-any
bishop-may himself have cases TO be
adjudicated upon, and no one member
of the hierarchy could be presumed to
be-as delegate should be-abso-
lutely above all bias, personal or local
interest in the decision which should

church. This is positive and final, no

Farmers do not sell their farm products

farm products to feed as many people
as now reside In Dickinson county,
Kansas, They had plenty Of money
with which to buy these farm products
because Mr.. Carnegie was able to pay
them good wages. He could pay them
good wages because he found a market
in this country for all these FIVE thous.
and laborers could produce. When II
became known that the Wilson bill
would allow the products which these
five thousand Homestead employees
were producing to come into this

which Mr. Carnegie sold his products,

who was appointed commissioners OF
pensions by Grover Cleveland, and who
is now Democratic representative
from the State of Illinois. They were
spoken In the debate on the Wilson
bill. They we're intended by Mr..
Cleveland's former pension commits

Every workingman and every work
iDgman's wife in America should read

least twice as high here rs in England
and many times higher than in Asia,
The purpose of the Wilson bill hat
never been stated with greater clear
ness. In striking down the Mckinley
tariff the Democratic party, under tbs
dictatorship Of Grover Cleveland, pro
poses to repeal these laws which
make wages higher" in the United
States. In urging the passage Of thu
