The letter comes at the right time and is
DANGER signal warning us of the storms
which threatens us and which, If disregarded,
Will involve us in national ruin.-Appleton
In prefacing his letter the reverend gentle
man urges that he speaks entirely as a cit
lien without, warrant from his eccleSiasti-
cal position, and in closing admits that he
may be wrong. Catholics are therefore I'M
der no relative obligations to accept his
opinions on the question, but should vote as
their God-given reason dictates. = Renville

The lengthy letter of Bishop Ireland in
favor of the gold standard and the election
of Mckinley, published in Mondays st. Paul
and Minneapolis dailies, will not create sur
prise in Minnesota, except that it may
seem to be an attempt to exert priestly in
fuence upon what is wholly secular and
partisan Everybody in this state who has
known the bishop has been aware for many
years that he is an ardent Republican, and
it will be remembered that in the presidential
election OF 1892 he issued a manifesto in
favor of Harrison but Cleveland was elected
