Scope and Contents

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. :: I-2-g Lincomplete 3pp. 12mo.
