vidual wealth was great, and the danger tnat
in that struggle the far more important IN
terests OF the people might be forgotten, was
but too imminent. He thought that mncn
might be done to save American youth II
wholesome religious instruction and the true
principles of honor and rectitude were laugh,
them at their schools, and this he DeleVeu
could alone be impaired in schools super
yised by their religious teachers. He thought
that Catholics in this country might nave
such a system, and that the great ana gene
rous American people would regard such
system in its proper light. In the meantime,
Catholics must be satisfied 70 pay their taxes
for the support of the system as II 49, Is
their duty, for 1t is the law, yet 1t IS not ue
MED them by some self-sacrifce to do mucn
for themselves in this direction, much that
may tend to save their children from IRE
ligion and infidelity. The learned gehtiie.-
man then spoke of his visit to the Calhono
Reformatory and OF the remarkable success
of that institution under the care OF the
| Christian Brothers, educing this as evidence
of the beneficial effect of the daily minister
| ing of religious and secular instruction, lie
then proceeded to cestigate in the most
severe manner the system OF proslytizng
children, which he understood was pracuceu
to a great extent in this city. Children, he
had learned, were gathered up upon INC
streets, taken into these homes lot hV.le
wanderers, and when their unfortunate,
drunken, debased, yet still loving parents
came to seek for them, they were lost to
them forever, their names changed, and they
sent far away into the West. lie relaleu
several stories of most painful character II
illustration of the fanaticism, If it even dc
served that title, to which the men WERE
animated who perpetrated these foul wrong
in the name of religion. Having merclless
ly handled this kidnapping system as an un
, worthy institution of great city like NeV
York, he concluded by making an earnes
. appeal to the audience to protect these un
r happy waits, these children of brutalized an
unfortunate parents, victims Of poverty an y,
: sin, from almost worse than death the DC DC
+ ing dragged away nameless to home &C
where, however well it might provide io
i them, they were taught to despise the meme
e ries Of their unhappy parents, This tue
Il could do by giving up their means ste to .,
