(1885 or 86) (Aug. )
to (James Alphonsus McMaster):
(New York, New York)
A weekly newspaper which claims to reflect Catholic ideas an to be the organ of the organ of the Cardinal (James Gibbons) is being published in Baltimore. It is issued by the Baltimore Publishing Company, which is composed of five members—two of whom are Episcopalians, one is a Presbyterian, and two (William J. O'Brien and H.P. McElrone) are Catholics. The paper is beginning to show its cloven feet. Last year it abused Mr. Keiley when he was appointed Minister to Rome and Vienna, and it has assailed him ever since. It has also attacked Secretary (of State Thomas F.) Bayard, questioning his motives in this week's issue of August 14. In this same issue the Freeman's Journal was attacked. The paper makes a great show of a letter of the Pope's approval which it received from Rome recently. But in Baltimore the Catholic Community does not know who the real owners are, for the Corporation was made up secretly. The paper copies its local items from the daily press, without comment or correction of the errors committed in Catholic matters. The writer feels that the publishers of this paper deserve a severecastigation from McMaster, and the public should be acquainted with the fact that the owners of it are Protestants.

Starr, Eliza Allen:
St. Paul, Minn(esota)
to (Richard Henry) Clarke:
(New York, New York)
Starr thanks Clarke for his letter in praise of her biographical sketch (of Bishop John McMullen). Clarke should use it as he thinks best. It would be easier for him if she had given detached facts. She will send the information concerning the diocese of Chicago, but he does not wish to be too communicative. McGovern does not want Starr to have the full truth so long as so many are living who were connected with it. Starr believes that a perfect expose would be harmless. But after he had promised some papers he withheld them under advice. With all of this ecclesiastical prudence Clarke will have the items concerning Bishop (Anthony) O'Regan and Bishop (Thomas Patrick) Foley. Ever since Clarke's first request, Starr has been under a special pressure of the classes and work that wins the bread for an extensive little house, but Clarke can depend on what Starr had promised. If she is not ill when she returns, she will have time for that purpose. Perhaps McGovern complained but he is still friendly to Clarke's scheme; if Bishop John McMullen comes out well, Clarke could command him, for McMullen held a sway over the best men in the diocese. They will judge Clarke by his life of McMullen. Clarke can do this without taking Starr's manuscript verbatim. Starr sees the difficulties of his plan. Bishop (Martin John Spalding) Spaulding's words quoted in the manuscript are ringing words. Starr thanks Clarke for the interest in her book, and thanks God it is out of prison and bodily and literally in her own house. The cheap edition is selling. Archbishop Patrick A. Feehan and Father (P.J.) Conway have been most kind to her. Her debt is to the Archbishop so that she was not annoyed—only it was a heavy debt to carry. What Clarke said of the Historical Society in his historical paper seems painfully true of the general public and her. Starr confesses that, although she is a member of the Society, she has been in such absolute poverty the last year it has been impossible for her to send the money. Starr asks Clarke to keep her membership open as she is likely to retrieve herself this year. Starr encloses a card of the lectures the Sisters are getting up for her. She hopes to be right with the world—not with her book or the diocese—in September. Then she will be able to vindicate her regard for the Historical Society and its absolutely necessary work and her self-respect. She is leaving Aug. 27 for her brother's in Durant, Ill(inois) and will stay until middle of September. (P.S.) The Superiors of St. Joseph Sisters, both here and in Minneapolis, are Bishop (John) Ireland's own sisters and a cousin, all women of extraordinary zeal, wisdom, and character. They proffered the lectures for Starr. The Bishop, as also Bishop (Thomas) Grace, is most kindly disposed.

New York, (New York)
to Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.:
Notre Dame, Indiana
Cannon noticed recently in the New Orleans Morning Star and in Catholic newspapers verses entitled "The Cross and Bead" credited to the Ave Maria. No doubt they were published without knowing the name of the author who is Cannon's father, Charles J. Cannon. Orestes Brownson said of Cannon's father: "If he had written without any reference to the Catholic or non-Catholic public and kept himself wholly within the range of the natural order, he would long since have occupied a high position in the ranks of Americal literature." Cannon relates the incident which prompted the "Cross and Bead", (an incident related by) Colonel G.T.M. Davis.
