Francis V. King.
Editor Of the 81. Mary's Beacon.
My dear Sir regret very much
that any words of mine in my letter
to your paper should have appeared
to YOU offensive TO the Roman Catho-
lie citizens of st. Mary's. The only
words to which you can aIlude must
be the following: the churches of
southern Maryland. which are hem
med In by the aggressive forces OF the
Church OF Rome.
Now. my dear sir. surely the
forces OF the Church OF Rome are
agressivel They ought to be. The
forces OF the Episcopal Church, if
they do their duty, are aggressive
also; but neither in an offensive sense
necessarily; and surely, also, the
Episcopal churches OF Southern
Maryland, small and weak as they
are, are as matter Of fact surround
ed and hemmed in by the stronger
more numerous forces OF the Church
OF Rome. Nothing was farther from
nv thought than to write anything
that could would. aud l can only
express surprise as well as regret
that my words should have been so
interpreted.
Thanking you for your kind words
in regard to myself, l an, my dear sir,
Weary truly yours.

The opinion Is regarded as q victory

The opinion concludes as follows:
We hold that the State has not con-

cate the debts set up against II for
liquor sold to II, nor has 1t consented
that 100000 Of fits public funds held
