France, 452; Italy, 257; other
The whole population of the
city of New York is one million,
and its convicted criminals in a
single year are 81, 655. Its native
born population are half million,
and its criminals are 1870.
its foreign born Irish pop
ulation are two hundred thousand,
and It's criminals are 23,S91. One
fifth of the population, and al
most one half of the criminals are
foreign born Irish. But this is
not all; the native born children
who are criminals, of foreign
born Irish parents, should be tax
en- from the American account.
And this is the showing made by
Catholicism and whisk Y!
Ireland is the paradise of Ro-
man Catholic priests. We will
not give our children into the
charge of these reverend fathers;
therefore our schools are goddess,
and we are q set of heather. But
then these true shepherds of tn e
flock gently lead their lambs
by safe paths to sweet waters and
green pastures. There the seed lie
sown, we reap the harvest
harvest of crime, of drunkards and
drunkard-makers. But let us
make another extract from this
most interesting and instructive
report of the aboard of Police
Judges of the City of New York"
CAUSES OF CRIME.
"The offence which mostly en-
crosses the attention; and most
frequently calls for action on the
part of the magistrate, is intoxi-
cation. Upon this charge, includ-
ing cases where the offence was
accompanied by disorderly con-
duct, there were arraigned 36,091,
of whom %, 1856 were males, and
IL .305 were females. Of this
number there were convicted and
fined 1927, or about 68 per cent,
of whom 15,S4S were males and
$500 were females. About one
half of the total number of cases
considered were cases Of intoxica-
ton, and it is estimated that these
and other cases which are directly
and Indirectly due to the use of
Intoxicating liquor constitute
from IS to 80 per cent. of all the
business of the police courts"
and seventy-five per cent. of all
the saloons in the United
State are kept by Irisemen and
Germans!
But the majority of German
liquor dealers are not Catholics /;
neither are they Protestants.
They take no more interest in any
religion than they would take in
the orgies of New Zealand canni-
balls over the body of q roasted
missionary. Germany is the
home of the highest culture.
The religion of Jesus, or rather of
Paul, belongs to a lower order OF
civilization, which Germans have
outgrown and laid aside as the
garments of their childhood. The
Bible, being only fable, is fit only
for children and ignorant people
When Americans become more
cultivated they will lay aside these
old fables too"
'HaeckePs holy doctrines will
permeate mankind and make then
better, wiser and humaner. Oar,
win will once govern the world
as the gospel now does"
And so it comes to this, thai
Germans, coming from the ''home
of the highest culture" and hav.
ing outgrown the Bible, (which is
only fable and fit only for child
rem and ignorant people," and
bringing with then "Haeckers
better, wiser and humaner doctrin
es," follow a trade that yearly
murders sixty thousand men,
breaks the hearts of wives, makes
children orphans, brings down the
gray hairs of fathers and mothers
in shame and sorrow to the grave,
and fills the land with bankruptcy,
pauperism and crime!
The truth is, Americans re out
growing the business of liquor
dealing. Much as they desire
riches, they shrink from the infa-
my that falls ON the man that
coins money out of the signs and
ears, and paupeisms and broken
hearts of women and children.
