THE GERMAN CATHOLIC SOCIETY.

The Meeting at Milwaukee Denounces tho
Prohibition Movement rs Erroneous, I'm
wise. etc.
Milwaukee. Sept. 26-The national
German Roman Catholic central society,
in to-day's session disposed of large
amount of routine business OF an unim-
portant character, which took up the
greater part of the time. The following
resolution will be reported upon:
WHEREAS. The agitation for prohibi.
ton has reached nearly every section of
the union; Therefore, we, the delegates
of the national German Catholic benevo-
lent societies of America,
Resolued, That we believe in being
temperate in all things, drinking includ-
ed, and practice and recommend the
same course; that We consider erroneous
aud unwise the condemnation and pro.
hibition Of the gifts of wine and other
beverages secured from fruits and grain;
that we consider that the present prohlb.
ltion agitation is mental epidemic,
lacking logical and moral educational
principle, and that we especially protest
against the prohibition declaration that
the poor-houses and jails throughout the
country are filed through the effects Of
the license system. Maine is prohibi-
D.
insane and criminals than any other
state. The real cause of Q great deal of
these troubles is due to the fact that q
great portion of the American youth is
reared without proper moral influences.
We refer the American people with pride
to our German Catholic elementary
schools, at which not only reading, writ.
ing and arithmetic are taught, but the
main principles Of honest actions, so that
the children became aware of the OBJ.
jecta of life, and to be obedient to the
reasonable government of their parents
We'are Of the opinion that the attacks
OF the prohlbitionists upon personal lib
erty endanger the stability of our owr
institutions. Whoever wishes to sup
port the latter should oppose prohibi
ton.
l During the meeting q cablegram va,
received from the pope, thanking then
for the donation sent him, and conferrinf
the papal blessing upon the labor of thl
; central society.
On the 9th the following resolution
was adopted: "All members of the cen
tral society are in duty bound to sent
their children to Catholic parochia
schools only. It is the duty Of ever,
Catholic to contribute to the crganiza
tion and maintenance Of the parochia
schools and colleges of the Catholi
church. Ali Catholics should assist th
clergy in providing for the Catholic edu
cation of their children, 80 that . genera
!. ton of Catholics may be raised who vii
,, iealously guard their rights and priv
! leges."

Of the climate contribute largely to the
popularity Of Dakota, as . place to find

emigration flowing into the Territory
bears upon its current the rich and poor,
the banker and bankrupt, the capitalist,
and laborer, all seeking to improve their
condition. This uninterrupted rush is
felt in all the channels of trade and is
apprecisting the value of the great and
