A Catholic newspaper in a parish is a
perpetual mission. Let ali who truly and
from their souls desire that Religion and
society defended by human intellect and
literature should flourish, strive by their
liberality to guard and protect the
Catholic press, and let every one in pro-
portion to his income support them with
his money and influence, for to those
who devote themselves to the Catholic
press we ought by all means to bring
helps of this kind. without which. their
industry will either have no results OF
uncertain and miserable ones

The Salt Lake Tribune is not pleased
over the fusion of Silver Republicans
and Democrats in Nevada at the recent
state convention. Once upon time
the Tribune was the recognized advo-
cate of such politics in this intermoun-
tain country. In its report of the fu-
sion convention, the nominee for gov
ernor (Sparks) is charged with being
a Gold Democrat and one who voted
for Mckinley and Roosevelt. What if he
did? Is it not clear that if the Demo-
Gratis hope to win, they must persuade
to their side a great many electors who
voted for Mckinley and Roosevelt?
