4 few weeks ago the Germans resident in
New York and in other cities Of the Union
celeb atea the victories q, Germany over
France by immense professions and other
signs of rejoicing, but to-day oar native
Americans are intersic4ed from celebrating
in New York through fear Of giving offence

inquire. viii il be allowable for Protestant

streets of New York if the intolerance OF
Paddy is not checked Ii is but step
from this occasion to that. The spirit

would forbid the sunday school gathering
tomorrow, because it offends Catholics
The more enlightened of that denomina-
ton see the danger upon which they are
rushing, but it is unfortunate that their
warning have not been needed. Let them
look to it while there is vet time that better
counsels may prevail. There are far more
cities and towns in the United States that
have Protestant than Catholic majorities,
and in all of the latter there are not want
ing those who would be glad of the oppor-
tunity SO retaliate upon the Catholics in
their midst for the intolerance exhibited in
New York. The greatest evil now threat
ening the Catholics is the close adhesion
of their voters to the democratic party in
New York city. Free political opinion
and action is what is needed there among
the Irish. Blind subserviency to democ-
racy is leading them to ruin. Another
step in advance like this of to-day would
be like powder to the magazine.
