Livroi.v , Nob. , Juno no. [ Special to Tun
Bun. I The third day's examination of Stew
ard Liveringhouso and Superintendent Test
of the Hastings Insane asylum was , resumed
this morning nt 10 : ! )0 ) o'clock The full board
was present , ns was also Governor Thnyor.
Secretary Allen asked for the vouchers
Which Steward Llvonnghouso hud promised
nt the outset. Several were banded him.
The governor nroso and stated tbnt ho
doslrod to have Gassier Leo , who had testi
fied on Saturday last , recalled , because ho
wished to propound some questions to him.
The witness took the stand and was nskcu by
the governor with whom ho had talked be
tween bis testimony In the forenoon and uf-
lernoon of the day Ii. question.
Leo I had no consultation with anyone
concerning tbo testimony. Why Is the ques
tion asked I
Governor That's for mo to decide.
The governor refreshed the witness' mem
ory regarding a meeting between thorn
which had tnkon place at the depot , when
tbo latter admitted that his excellency had
nsked him , among other tilings , for his ad
dress. Tbo governor then read Till" Bii't : )
report of Leo's testimony which showed that
Leu had said that his excellency hud offered
him a position nt the insane asylum nt NorfolK -
folK which Leo had declined.
Leo had been nn attendant at the Hastings
asylum mid bad testified to Ur , Test's irrecii-
luflty of visits , the profanltv of Attendant
Loofburrow , and the death from overdosing
/ieglor. .
The governor desired to bo sworn to make
a statement. Ho said In substance that four
or five \veoks befuro Leo had called nt his
ofllce ; that ho scarcely know him , but
was told who the young man w.1. . . , Leo hud
informed him that bo had left tb sylum
; that ho had resigned. Ho had been * dlssatis-
, lled. The young man , however , had made a
good impression upon him. Ho appeared to
bo candid and the witness had talked to him
and asked him what ho wanted
to do. "t told him , " continued
the governor "that theio might be
nn opening for him at Norfolk. . I snld It
however , only from the most friendly
motives. I never made him n promise of n
position there , 1 never had such a thought.
1 never intended to ask the superintendent
for a position for him. If the young man
'viintod n position , be would have to make
an application himself. Ho handed mo an
Rllldnvlt. I am not Hiiro it was signed by
Mr. Smith. I read it. I road it hastily. I
think both signatures were attached. It
didn't then occur to mo that I had heard of
the case [ tflcgler'sl ' boforo. I had already
investigated it. I had taken Dr. Stone's
statement. Ho said that the prescription
contained n proper allowance of the med
icine and that tha dose was a small ono ; that
no responsibility could attach to anyone for
the death of Zolglor. When I rend the
affidavit. I remembered the Zoigler caso.
Leo never said n word to mo about the
Improper language used by the attend
ant , Loofburrow. If ho had , I
would have Insisted upon Loof
burrow being suspended. In the second
interview , Leo showed fooling. Hu said in
substance that bo intended to get Loofbur
row out of there nnd complained of the treat
ment of Mrs. Slater. When he used some
threatening language I said that would do. I
next met him at the depot. I said to him I
wished ho would keep mo Informed as to his
I/ostolllcn address. 1 was about to Investi
gate the matter myself , when I hoard ttio
board had taken it up. I then suspended
operations. I told Leo I should want him to
go to the asylum In that event. It is evident
the Impression was made that to try to hush
blm up" I offered him a position at Norfolk. "
Vho governor then protested against being
tried. If bo had any testimony ho would
clvo It. Ho was not to be investigated there.
Why had ho asked Leohis postoftlco address I
llo Know what the purpose was of dragging
bis name into the business , because ho hud
heard of It through outside information. Tlio
occasion was not to bo made the vehicle to
accomplish a potty spite against him.
The attomy general then took n hand
asuing :
The young man loft an affidavit with you !
Governor Yes.
The affidavit was in substance tno same as
was told by the witness.
I think so.
Have you taken any steps to looic further
into the matter ]
I stated I hud looked into the matter , but
lately I have had no timo.
Did you Investigate the matter by examin
ing any of the employes !
My Impression Is that Dr. Stone and Dr.
Test made statements.
No othorl
The statement by Dr. Stone was sntlsfac-
factory , I thought , and I dropped it.
What kind of medicine did you understand
had been administered i
I think they called It paraldahlde.
You say you had intended to give the mat
ter n more thoiough investigation I
I had intended myself to Inqulro into that
nnd other cases connected with t.
If you have any moro evidence In the cnj ewe
wo would llko to" have It , governor.
I said before I was going to investigate the
caso.
caso.Hnvo you any testimony In this y.loglor
case which the board bus not already hoard I
1 dcclino to answer.
I heard you say , governor , bore , that you
wanted a full inve&tlgatlon.
That's what 1 wanted.
The governor was then Informed that any
evidence ho had In his possession , the board
would bo glad to receive.
Leo then stated that when Governor
jtayor mot him at ttio depot and asked him
for his postofflco address , ! ' was either after
his excellency hud gone to Hastings to in
quire into the asylum difficulty or after the
officers of the latter had been requeued to
como to Lincoln to explain the mUunder-
itnuding. Furthermore , when witness asked
him at the depot whether or not he proposed
ttio matter contained In the affidavit , the
governor hud said that any person who did
not llko his way of Investigating the matter
could to to the other place.
Attorney Darnell then questioned Lee
whether he had not told Assistant Physician
Ilorell bbforo leaving the asylum that ho hud
never worked In nn Institution In which
patients bad been so well cured for.
Witness replied that that statement re
ferred oulv to Dr. Horoll himself and not to
Ur. Test ,
An attempt was made to show thut Leo
had loft the asylum because Matron Slater
had been discharged.
In roplv , ho said that Dr. Test had made a
rule that the attendants of the male and
female sldo should not , except on business ,
Visit the center ( the ofllcors' part ) . Witness
understood thut this order was Issued to pre
vent Mrs. Smith from attending the center
and thus reporting throughout the ivsvlum
the Irregularities which prevailed thoro.
Witness obeyed the rule. Ho did not think
tbo rule was Jnstlco to Matron Slater. Hu
thought , therefore , tio'd rather leave than
have her got into trouble.
He admitted again that Dr. Test had made
the rule , but It was not long before it was
broken , because employes , as before , hung
around the corridors nnd tha steward's oftlco ,
among tbo employe * being Tony Aelccrman ,
Curlylo and MUs Hattlo Smith , who did not
h > * vo permission. Witness admitted to Dr.
Tent ttiat the loungers did not bang around
his oftlco without permission ,
Mrs. Emnm Vanderpool then took tbe
land. She was ready to tell her tale , al
though the know she would be subjected to
croit-oxamlnntlon. Sbo testified that iho
C d gone to work at tbo aivluin as bead
loauutrou Augait 6 , ISf'J , nail left thcro
Mireh I , 1SW. Dr. Stone was superinten
dent and D. ' . Test his superintendent. She
was head seamstress. Hesignod her position.
Wits not discharged.
"Dr. Test , " tlio wltnois continued , "at dif
ferent times made Indecent proposals to me.
Ho used to sn > that I Whs nlco looking nnd
extended jympnthv'to mo hccauno I was a
widow. He wanted mo to be o warm friend
of his. There wore different tunes ho told
mo ho would llko to l.r.vo me visit him at his
rooms at night wlu'i o her people were not
watcliinp. Ho said that wo mlaht enjoy our
selves toirothor and that nobody would bo
the wiser for It. The only harm in such en
joyment was In being found out. If I would
consent to come to his room nt night , when
every other person was out of the way , ho
would knock on tha Mc.un pipe which ran
through his room nnd mine when the way
was clear. He also Indulged in little hints ,
Insinuations nnd llattery I resigned because I
was pro < sed so hard bj Dr. To t and Liver-
Inghouso , nnd Mrs. Livcringhouse , I know ,
was cold In manner toward me , and I could
glvo no .satisfaction If 1 remained. Besides ,
I would bo prostrated wltn nervousness.
'
This attontlon'of Dr. Test was very annoying
to mo , and when ho spoka tj mo I told htm
1 wa.s n virtuous woman and asked If ha did
not think I was. Ho said'Why , child , yes ;
1 know you aro.1"
Llveringhouso , she said , had treated her
In about tlio same , yet n somewhat different
manner. He Insulted her , not by means of
flattery , but through tbo guise of a friend.
She was asked If she know that Liverinit-
house had sold his own butter to the asylum ,
and roplled that .sho did.
"Ono night at supp r there was no butter
for the officers and employes , " she said , "but
there was for the pitients , Liveringhouso
told mo ho had sent to Ins creamery for but
ter. " Ho had told her ononly and said that
the state know ho was furnhnlng butter to
the institute.
The witness was then cross-examined , nnd
to'd ' wlioro she had resided , Detroit , Chicago ,
Cedar Hiplds , Hastings , Hotdrege , and Lin
coln , in all of which places she hud earned a
livelihood In dress making. She had secured
her position at the asylum without inlluonco ,
because she was without friends in Hastings ,
knowing only a few business men. She reit
erated that Test had snveral times made im
proper proposals , and that Liveringhouso had
gone to her room nnd tried to embrace her
and put his arms around her , but she wouldn't
allow him. The last two or three months she
was in the asylum the officers dropped her en
tirely. They were not friends of hers so long
ns she was n friend of Dr. Stone's. She was
thirty-six years of age , and thought Dr. Test
was forty years old , especially in the morn
ing when she thought he had been dissipating
the night before.
The number of years with which she cred
ited Dr. Test caused the board to laugh , and
oven made the doctor himself smile.
The cross-examination then endeavored to
ascertain who it was induced her to como to
testify and succeeded in learning that Mr.
Bcatty had visited her nnd spoken to her
nbout'thc matter , nnd that the gentleman re
ferred to and his wife were friends of hers.
She was asked why she hadn't told Dr.
Stone about Dr. Test's advances and replied
that the former was u high ollicor and would
uot believe her if she should have com
plained about Dr. Test. Llveringhuuso pretended
tended to bo a friend of hers , but In little
tilings acted in an underhanded manner and
wanted to have her discharged. Dr. Test
wanted her discharged because sno bad of
fended his dignity. She did not want to
leave the asylum when she was Insulted be
cause It was winter and she had no friends.
A picnic given bv the employes was then
referred to. The defense sought to show that
the witness had attended with a gentleman
and that it was after 1 a. m. when she re
turned to the asylum. She showed , however ,
that she had returned with tbo rest of the
party. This Information she imparted in n
series of emphatic ncgativo monosyllables to
the suggestive queries of ttio defendants' at-
tornovs.
The next witness was n young woman
named Mrs. Lena Whoeland , who is now
acting as head nurse in one of tha divisions
of too homo for the friendless In this city.
She wont to the asylum in November , Ibtj'J ,
and left there September , 1890. She had
charge of a private patient , Mrs. VanCott ,
and had been engaged to attend her by the
lady's son. This toitlmony was badly broken
up with questions on both sides , but In sub
stance is as follows :
She had formed a dlsliko for Dr. Test from
the start. Dr. Test was a young man and
tbo lady attendants were young women. It
was necessary for thorn , therefore , to bo cir
cumspect in their conduct , unless they
wished to have themselves talked about. Sno
had noticed Dr. Test's ' conduct with others
and concluded the loss she had to do with
htm the better. She thought she bad reason
to complain agulnst him.
"Tbo doctor , " she said , "culled mo to his
office ono day and told mo If I was not good
to him ho could have me discharged. It was
in his power to discharge mo , and if I wished
to remain in the institution I should bo what
ho termad good to him. Ho claimed to mo
that when ha cumo upon the ward ho could
scarcely got cordial recognition from mo ,
scarcely moro than 'good morning.1 Ho was
supposed to visit the wards every day , but ho
didn't do so. Ono time ho ordered mo to glvo
my patient an injection , nnd said bo would
send mo an Instrument with which to do it.
But I never received tlio Instrument. "
Cross-examination brought out the cir
cumstances under which the witness lost her
position. Her employer , Mr. Van Cott living
near St. Paul in this state haj given her two
months' vacation. Sun had teen taking n
course In shortlnnd and her teacher thought
she could complete her knowledge by taking
a series of lessons In un Omaha college. She
went to that place , but found she did not
have money enough to keep nor during ttio
period nt college. At the expiration of her
vacation , she had written Dr. Test stating
she was ready to go back and received a reply
that thcro was no position there for bur or
words to that offoct. The defendant's at
torney sought to show that Mrs. Whoeland
had not done htr duty nor treated Dr. Test
respectfully , but the witness replied in the
negative at each attempt.
An effort was alro made to show that sbo
had been Induced to testify against Dr. Test
by Mr. Boatty , but the attempt was not suc
cessful.
The attorney also tried to find out what
aho bad told Tun BII : : man who had called
upon licr at the homo for the friendless in
this city. But this was also without success.
In the afternoon the number of auditors
was Increased by tlio shlrt-sleoved form of
Judge Ma ou , who expects to tuko a httnd In
some way In the case before It comes to a
close.
Mrs , II. B. Smith was first put upon the
stand. Nearly an hour was consumed and
but little elicited. The witness know some
thing , but It was of such a nature that col
umns of prefatory matter had to bo antici
pated before the loud could bo struck. She
was finally abandoned by the bourd. She
kept a few simple drugs In her roam , but
never administered them without nn order
from a physician. The amount of wine , bcof
and iron supplied to tbo females would bo
about throe bottles In two weeks. She had
asked for a vacation for certain reasons ,
which reasons Dr. Test did not scorn to be
lieve. The doctor > vas then only a subordi
nate and she and bo hud quite a lively talk
on tno subject ,
Witness could not toll whether she bad
over been paid Interest on the money which
was owing to her as a consequence of the do-
flclt.
flclt.Mrs. . Sinter next took the stand and was
sworn. She claimed that she considered her
self to bo matron of the asylum , altnough sbo
bud been atkod by Governor Tlmyer to ab
sent herself on vacation for ttvo months. She
know nothing about the death of Belle Brigham -
ham , although she had hoard
that the ulrl bad boon found
dead ono morning either In bed or on tha
ttoor. She did not think she had received
any Interest on her deferred wages. Dr.
Test had frequent sick spells and Mrs. Llv-
eringhouso would attend him , to whloh
"Mr. Llveringbousovery sorlouslv objected. "
She did not know that thcro bad ever boon
any wine supper at tbo asylum , but. Judging
from clrcunuiancos. she thought there hud
been. When the officials had bcoa reup-
pointed a company of gentlemen called and
remained until ! i o'clock tha next morning ,
when there was iiulto a number of glasses
and empty bottles In a strangu condition ,
Witness then stated that Llvoriughouso
had tried bard to break up the closa relation
ship between Dr. Test and Mrs. Llvcrlng-
house , and the doctor bad told her ho would

yards wide , and the stream is about ono
hundred yards wide Around the island the
'
stream is'seven miles wide. The current is
not yet cut through the "gumbo. " As long
as this thin crust stands the point is safe ,
but should the current cut through to the
alluvial soil below it would bo only a matter
of a row hours until the great volume of the
river would bo passing through a now chan
nel.
Between Atchison and Ilushvlllo the Han
nibal & St. Joseph and the Kansas City , St.
Joe & Council Bluffs tracks are covered with
water In several places. The Hnnnib.il truck
is not safe for trains and the Kansas City
will have to abandon theirs if the situation
grows any worse. Between Itushvlllo and
the river not loss than twenty-five farm
houses nro surrounded by water and the
farmers nro out in boats trying to rescue
shocits of wheat that are yet above water.
A St. Joseph special says : The river is
stationary at this point standing eighteen
foot eight Inches above low wat&r mark , the
sumo us at noon yesterday. The water has
overflowed the low lands about Lake Contrary
and that body of water Is now a part of the
great flood. Fears are expressed that as the
water recedes n channel will bo cut , draining
the lake , leaving hotels and bout bouses sur
rounding an unsightly mud bolo.

CAllENSLY'S ' LAST MEMORIAL ,
Another Chapter on Catholic Emigration
to tha United States ,
DIVIDING AMERICAN EP.SCOPAL . SEES.
Appointment of lilxlinps f.ir tlie

IlnuMN , Juno no. Copies of tbo full text of
the second memorial presented by Herr Cu-
hensly to the papal seoroturv of state , Car
dinal Kumpohi.lmvo been put Into circulation.
The utmost Importance h attached to the
memorial. If , as It Is hoped , the holy see can
bo induced to follow out Its rocominond.Uloiii
and appoint n largo number of Ucrman cler
gymen ns bishops in the United States , the
German influence across the Atlantic coun
try will redound directly to the growth of
the homo Gorman government in American
affairs.
C Herr Cahensly Indeed appeals for aid to
other foreign Oovcrnmonts Italy , Austria ,
Spain and Canada promising thorn In return
a duo share of the prestige which will como
from n division of the Episcopal sees of
America among the representatives of the
different classes of emigrants. It is felt hero ,
nevertheless , that the lion's share will full
to ttio lot of the empire. The war on the
Irish bishops "in America" will bo proso-
outcd with vigor. It will bo no fault of llerr
Cuhonsly It ho falls. Hero is the text of the
memorial :
Most eminent lord , wo como to humbly
submit to your eminence some considerition.s
upon the subject of emigration to the United
Slates of North America. This great
question nftects interests that nro of
very great importance , whether they
bo regarded from a social or from a religious
point of view. The current which Is carry
ing away to Aiiiencn populations of different
nationalities is already formidable ; in the
future it Is likely to become Irresistible. As
is proven by the table of statistics appended
to this memorial -I'J.-IOJ ! ! Catholics left Eu
rope for the American continent during ISbtl ,
and of this number 1T8UOO wont to the
United states. The some country received
moreover thousands of emigrants from Can
ada. Mexico , Brazil and ether countries of
Latin America. Calculations based upon the
most authoritative statistics go to show that
Catholic emigrants and their children ought
to constitute in tlio United States a Catholic
population of ' . " ( i.UOO.OOO. But the fact is that
the number of Catholics in that vast country
scarcely exceeds 10,000,000. Catholicity ,
therefore , has up to the present dito sus-
tainou a net loss of 1C.,000,000 in the great
American republic. The following are the
chief causes of this desertion ou the part of
the Catholic forces :
1. The lack of sufficient protection for the
emigrants at the time of their departure from
homo , during their voyage , and on their ar
rival in America.
S. The Insufficiency of priests and parishes
of their own or different nationality of emi
grants.
it. The pecuniary sacrifices , often exorbi
tant , that are exacted of the faithful.
4. The public echools.
5. The Insufficiency of societies. Catholic
and national associations of mutual aid , pro
tection , etc. , for the laboring classes.
tl. Tbo want of different representatives of
the different nationalities of emigrants in tbo
episcopate.
When about to cot out from tbo fatherland ,
emigrants stand in need of information , ad
vice and assistance so fur as to know what to
do , whom to opplv to In preparation for their
distant journey , what route to follow , etc.
Before re-embarking and while on the deep ,
special cure , both temporal and spiritual , is
needed. On their arrival in America the
poor emigrants i land In need of aid and di
rection , of information as to where they will
flnd their fellow-countrymen , work and the
comfort of religion , of which they stand In
such need In countries full of dangers to
their faith. The Saint Uaphaol societies for
the protection of emlirrunts huvo the noble
and beautiful mission of attending to
these different , needs of tbo immigrants. The
high protection of the holv see Is indispensa
ble to the Saint Haphaol societies In order
that they may develop , increase in numbor.ox-
tondto all countries from which immigration
takes place and to which immigration is di
rected and realize therein the full measure of
good that is rightfully expected of thorn. The
holy see would exercise this protection very
efficaciously by Inviting the Episcopates of
the different countries to encourage the faith
ful to organize Saint Haplmel societies where
they do uot exist , to increase their number
and to strengthen them where they have al-
reudv made their appearance.
All nationalities which nro Ignorant of the
English language are placed In the Impossi
bility of practicing their religion if on their
arrival In America they do not llnd priests
who can speak their language and glvo thorn
Instructions. Besides , emigrants go to Amor-
loa in order to earn their dally broad , and not
for the sake of learning now lungunges. The
United States have become well aware
of this fact. They aUo leave
to every nationality tbo power
of retaining the use of its
own language. No doubt in tbo course of
years tbo emigrants come to speak English ,
but to wait till they nave 'earned ' that lan
guage before having them practice tholr re
ligion is to run the risk of finding them no
longer disposed to live after a CbrUtiau
fashion. Tbo oxpericnco of the past proves
unfortunately that such is almost always tbo
case. As every nationality has its own char
acteristic ! ) , Its own habits and customs It Is
imuortunt also that the priests should not
only speak the language of the Immigrants ,
but that they should bo nf the sumo nation.
Hence It is desirable that every nation and
group of emigrants shall bo organiiod Into n
distinct parish , with a priest of its own na
tionality. Some uro of the opinion
that the language cannot bo kept boyonu the
second generation and that tha grandchildren
of the immigrants will certainly spook noth
ing but English. The facts of experience
offer triumphant objections to this opinion.
Lot ns call to mind some of thorn. ( The
memorial then cites tbo case of the French
Carnets In Louisiana , the German In other
sections and the Canadian-French ) .
Experience , morovor , teachoa that the Im
migrants and their descendants who forgot
their language likewise forget their religion.
The language nnd religion are Inseparable ,
more especially In Immigration countries. To
glvo up one is'to forfeit ttio othor. Of course
the different nationalities of Immigrants
must , may wo bo pardoned the expression ,
Americanize themselves.
But what U meant by Americanizing one's
self I To Amorlcai'Uo ono'b bolf moans to be
come a citizen of the United States or an
American citizen. In order to become nn
American citizen It is necessary to accept
the constitution or to do what it wills and to
respect what It respects. Now ttio constitu
tion recognizes the right of every nationality
of Immigrants to retain Its religion , its
language , Its character nnd the like. To
Amorlcanlzu one's self , then , Is llrst and
above all to accept and respect this right that
the constitution guarantees to all the dif
ferent nationalities that llvo under Its pro
tection and that constitute their diversity of
nation. To ask thcso nationalities to forget
their language and their country In order
to Americanize themselves , Is to pursue a
work thut Is nntl-Arnerlcnn , n work directly
opposed to the constitution and the very
essence of the nation. It belong * peculiarly
to every nationality to take the Inltl-tlvu of
Americanizing itself. Wo would think It u
gross pretension were onv purtlculur na
tionality to arrogate to lt elf tbo mission of
Americanizing the others , for this would bo
to luy claim to i > esc ( slng greater A raorii-un
genius , to being better Httcd to servo tha re
public , to being Invested with priority and
to violate the rights of others.
Tbo memorial then uuys tbo holy sea will
know how to act under tha circumstances ,
It thuii dlscujjus the fact that tno t of tUo
Immigrants nro poor nnd little nbli " stand
the exactions of many of the parlst Iu thl
country , which fact is believed to ' > many
of them fiom tlio church. Tlio ni . .Uatlo'u .
of puhllo sc'iools Is Mich as to Icai : ) earo-
le < nn si In church duties. Tim - rocuinl
sel.ools have been c.stnbMshed by ' ' to , but
many parishes do not realize the I irtance
of Ruch school1 * .
The organization of benefit nnwr so
cieties is believed to bo n danger to Catho
lics , for they cause the regulation of all lives
without any consideration of religious duties.
It then discusses the pernicious secret so
cieties.
After speaking of the great Inlluenco of the
bishops the memorial says : "Upon this
question depends the solution of the greatest
problem of the present times , the problem of
the immigration of nations. First , the sal-
vutl m of souls is herein concerned. Bishops
who are ilr.ingers to the spirit , character ,
habits and customs of other nations
cannot in the required measure ndopt
their virtues and knowledge and up-
prociato nnd effectually attend to ttio
wants of those nations Again , the concord
between the different tuitions Is affected by
this ( iiiestlon. If the episcopate bo handed
over almost exclvsively to one single nation
ality to the detriment of the ottiors , a fooling
of uneasiness , of general discontent is cre
ated among the latter ; a feeling which as
sumes the proportions of Jealous national
rivalries , a feeling wounded and shocked in
every suc-ed right and Interest belonging to
thcso nations. The want of Justice Is in
pressing ns tlio want of bre.ul. It Is desired
that concord nnd harmony should reign
among the different nations that go to m.iko
up the churches of the United States.
Nothing Is moro desirable , nothing moro
essential. The solo and only way to attain
this end is to eivo to every ono of
these nations bishops of tholr own , bishops
belonging to each , who will represent their
respective nations in the Episcopal body
Just as these nations nra represented among
the parochial clorg.v and cmoug tbo faithful.
As the dioceses are formed of Catholics of
different nationalities there Is no question of
demanding the division of thtso dioceses
according to nationalities. What is expected
of the holy see is that bishops of the dif
ferent notions will bo placed In the Episcopal
body so that different nations will bo
represented by ono of their own people
in the Episcopal , In .the ecclesiastical pro
vinccs and in the councils. Thanks to tills
prudent measures of tlio church in the United
States , being composed of such different na
tions. will have a character of universality
like the nation itself.
Next the spirit of the constitution of the
United St.itos , which grants equal and im
partial protection to all the nationalities liv
ing under it , is herein concerned , for to con
stitute the op'.scopal body by taking Into
account the different national element which
form the eh n roll as well as th national of
the great republic would bo to act In direct
accordance with the American constitution.
Besides has not the church everything to
gain by favoring the spirit of tno
constitution of a country , when that
spirit Is good and just , by adding
the support of her co-operation , for Instance ,
to the protection which n great state , a gic.it
nation , grants to the diff'-ront nations which
como to ask of it the rigbts of citizenship.
Moreover , this question affects the inter
ests of the countries from whicti immigra
tion takes placo. Through their Immigrants
the nations are acquiring In the great repub
lican influence and an importance of which
they will one day bo able to rnuko great
pro'lit. These nations are so well aware of
this that they are doing everything in their
power 10 have these of their nationali
ties sottlcd in the United States de
velop and strengthen themselves in
every respect. The tlmo has coino
when governments can no longer
remain Indifferent to this grave and import
ant question. Far example it Is a matter of
no consequence to England , Ireland , France ,
Germany , Italy , Canada , Austro-Hungarv ,
Spain and other governments that they num
ber in a thoughtful country and otio full of
prospects millions of fellow citizens , forming
part of the natior. and taking an active part
In industry , commerce , politics , social Ufa
and public affairs. It must not bo lost sight
of tbnt the American nation the peonlo of
the United States Is not a people of ono
rucn only , but of all races and of all nation
alities. Every race , every nationality may
tuko its place in this , the sunlight. Pro-
ciselv owing to this fact and because
religion is the cornerstone and the keystone
of every social edifice. The nations have an
immense interest In their emigrants being
represented in the Episcopal dioceses of the
United States by bishops of their own. And
therein lies the ren on why all the nations
whoso populations are emigrating to the
great republic nro oxpcotlnir from the holv
see bishops whom their dearest Interest call
for. Finally , the holy see is interested in
this matter.
The memorial then argues that the ap
pointment of bishops for the different nations
would brincr thorn closer to the holy see and
thereby beln the prowth of the church , it is
signed by the officials of the Huphacl society
and accompanying it uro immigration statis
tics.
ProjjreHR of the Vcw T.tilH Murder

defense rested , bcltoving it was unnecessary
to examine the full score of chivalrous
knights of dime novel fame. According to
the testimony every nnimuto object seen in
that vicinity nt the time old Few Tails was

sober thinking citizens are loth to bcllovo
many of the blood-rurdllng stories told on the

who was detailed to earry mall between Fort
Mendo and the Ctioyonnu camp passed near
where the fight occurred , testified as to hav
ing loft bis route to follow a bund of twelve
or fifteen hostlles nearly a mile before they
fired upon him. Homo of ttie stories nro n lit
tle less than miraculous when ills wellknown
that during that late unpleasantness the
people In the vicinity bordering on the reser
