Show f ST. PATRICK'S, EAST ST. LOUIS. We understand that the unfortunate troubles that have upset St. Patrick's parish East St. Louis, for some months back have been practically adjusted. This is glad news indeed, for the conditions con-ditions prevailing in that parish threatened threat-ened to entail severe loss to the church. It is understood that Bishop Jonssens has made such arrangements as will prove satisfactory to the people of the parish and that the school and . church will be reorganized without delay. As we pointed out previously, the remedy for the whole unfortunate affair af-fair was in the Bishop's own hands, and that he has seen fit to use it shows that Bishop Jenssens is a man of duty as he sees it reflected in the wel- I fare of those committed to his charge, , and not in the selfish mutterings of those who would make him believe that j his episcopal authority was paramount to the souls of his flock. Bishop Jonssens, in adjusting the difficulty in East St. Louis will receive the plaudits of all fair minded men. . |
