FATHER ZIELENSKI RESIGNS.
End of the Trouble in Stevens Point
Catholic Congregation.


Catholic Congregation.
Stevens Point, Wis, Nov. 90
The trouble between Father lie
lenski, a rector of a Catholic -congrega-
ton here, and his flock has been ended
by his withdrawal from that charge.
His successor has not yet been appointed.
Bishop Messmer decided last week that
the only way to settle the difficulty was
for Father Zielenski to resign his posi-
ton. This view of the matter was
laid before him and was followed by
his withdrawal
About eight months ago an attempt
was made to burn the parsonage and
later the church and parsonage were
destroyed by fire. It was alleged that
enemies of Father Zielenski were back
of the plot. About seven weeks ago
someone fired a shot through the window
of the parsonage at the priest, but the
bullet was imbedded in a door. That
was the elimination of the trouble.

WHY IT WAS READ.

Advantage-"Cross of Gold' Meta
phor I'm Chicago Speech.
to Give nm Oh

TARRYTOWN. ~ Y, August l5.-Mr.
Bryan this evening gave out the following
statement relative to the preparation OF
his speech OF acceptance:
THE speech was written in Nebraska
From the beginning l expected to read IT,
but was almost persuaded TO abandon the
idea after 1 left home. Some insisted that
reading would be a disappointment to
those present. l appreciated the force or
the suggestion, but finally concluded that
it would be better to disappoint those VINO
listened than to risk an unfair or partial
report by the opposition press.
I'm writing the speech 1 did not pur-
poseiy follow the plan Of any former
speech, but made no attempt to avoid
arguments or Illustrations previously en-
ployed in discussing the money question.
My sole aim was to crowd as much mat
ter as possible into the speech without
making IL too long. and therefore / tried
to be brief in statement.
1T was rewritten two or three times,
as new points or new arguments sug-
gested themselves. one copy was brought
with me and one sent by express, to pro-
vide against loss. Two paragraphs which
occurred TO me on the train We're added
after l reached New York. only two per-
sons saw the speech after my arrival, and
they suggested no changes"
Mr.. Bryan further said that In future
editions of the Chicago speech the quota
ton marks would be omitted from the
sentence containing the metaphor OF
Gross Of gold" 1t was a mistake. he
said, to enclose the sentence in quotation
marks. as the words were not quoted from
any one else
