The Catholic lrishmen claim to own
the ely of New York. They parade

project them. On the anniversary of
Father Matthew'S birth, they parade by
day AID get drunk by Dignt. The city
projects them, Golmans parade in hon.
or Of their holidays or the great victo-
ries of the Fathcrland, and they arc
pr O.ectcd.
Negroes parade and are protected.
Sabbath.Schools parade in procession
aud arc not molestcd. Civic societies
parade New York aud have been pro-
tected. But when few hundred Or
