Mr.. AIrer and the London Times.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuS-Sir: Gen. Alrer
must have forgotten the record OF the London
Times. otherwise he would have contempt
uously refused to notice the false charges
affecting himself which have recently appeared
in the columns OF that most malignant and
vituperatlve Of newspapers.
1t is a matter Of history that. in a British
court OF law less than a dozen years ago, the
Times was mucted in damages to the amount
OF $4,000 for having recklessly published n
series OF forgeries with the undisRuised object
OF running the reputation OF Charles Stewart
Parnel the Irish leader Gen. Alger should
bear in mind the significant fact that many ex-
cellent men have considered 1t an honor and
distinction TO be abused and vilihed by the
Times. When that unrvaled mistress OF jour
naistlc billingsgate, unconsciously lapsng
into something akin to good nature. printed
a few kind words concerning Daniel O'Connell
In the old days, that great Irishman indig-
nantly exclaimed that he was at loss to know
OF what reprehensible act he had been guilty
to have earned the infamous praise OF such a
vile newspaper.
1t may not be out OF place to point ont here
the fact that during the Crimean war hum
dreds, II not thousands. Of British soldiers un-
necessarily perlshed OF hunger and cold in the
trenches before Sebastopol. the criminals in
tho case having been the incompetent officials
and corrupt contractors who controlled the
English War Department In those hideous
days OF national shame and disaster. What
action did the London Times take in exposing
the stupidities and rascalities which led to the
Crimean horrors OF 1854?

Ecclesinsticnl Heads of tho Province OF

Milwaukee Write to the Pope.
Among the last letters received by the pope
from the Bishops here. in acknowledgment OF
the encyclical on "Americanism." appears one
from the Archbishop and Bishops OF the eccle-
sastical province OF Milwaukee. The letter is
signed by Archbishop Kntzer OF Milwaukee.
Bishop schwerbach Of La Crosse. Bishop Mes
mer Of Green Bay. and the Very Row. Frederick
Els. Apostolic Administrator OF the vacant
diocese OF Marquette and Sault Ste. Marie.
The writers OF this communication to tho
Pope aver that they were instigated to indte
the letter because their long silence upon the
question OF the Pope's encyccal had been mis-
interpreted The letter in part Is as follows:
While thanking your Holiness from the
depths of our hearts for your kind and fatherly
thouehtfulness in calling the erring back to
the right way OF thinking by your condemna-
ton OF error. We cannot but express our sor-
row and Just Indignation that not few are to
be found among our countrymen. and chief
among these many Catholic writer's for the
press. who. though declaring that they repro
hate and reject the said errors. yet do not hes
itate to initiate the Jan senists BY procaimine
that tho Holy lee, deceived by false niorma-
ton. has been merely beating the air and. so
