HOW TREMENDOUS was
the influence of Bishop
HugheS! Not a single de-
fender, however impetuouS,
moved against the NativistS.
On the other hand, the sight
of the determined Sentinels
quelled all plans the agitators
may have devised. No incl
dent of any kind took place
in New York during May,
1874, nor again after the Sec
ond bloody outbreak in Phila-
delphia during the following
July.
This rock-like determine
ton of John Hughes was not
a sudden impulse. Born in
Ireland of good family, he had
not permitted a financial dis
sster to thwart his ambition
to become a priest. On com
ing to America he had taken
any kind of job to earn his
tuition in the seminary.

ed for the Diocese of Phila-
delphia, he led in adopting
various methods to quiet the
storm of ti-Catholicism.
Reminiscent of the path fol-

from the Episcopal ministry to
the Catholic Church, he has
founded a Catholic Tract So.
ciety in 1927 to publish book
lets explaining the Faith.
In these years debates be-
came more popular than
pamphlets. In 1882 Hughes
accepted the challenge of the
Reverend John Breckenridge,
a Philadelphia Presbyterian
pastor. 1t was agreed that
each contestant would pub
lish articles alternately in
The Presbyterian and in a
Catholic paper.
THERE BEING NO Catho-
lie publication all all in the
Pennsylvania city, Father
Hughes raised the money
himself and commenced the
Catholic Herald in January
of 1888. Opinions of comment
ators on the outcome of the
debate varied much accord
ing to prior inclinations, but
undoubtedly the energy and
ability d e d by
Hughes contributed to his
selection as bishop in New
York.
Particularly in New York
City the new bishop found
that the King James version
of the Bible was being read
TO public school pupils, usual
ly followed by a commentary
abusive of the Catholic
Church. Moreover, the text
books used not only were
highly sympathetic to Protest
antism but blatantly ridiculed
Catholicism.
HUGHES REASONED that

large number of people who
had gone to church the pre-
vious day to thank God for
having been preserved from
harm during the riots. Into
all churches, we should have
said, excepting the Roman
Catholic. In obedience to
the orders of the Bishop they
were not opened for public
worship"
Bishop Francis Patrick Ken
rick had sought sanctuary in
the home of a Protestant
friend. Notwithstanding, dur
ing the riots he had issued
the following bulletin to the
Catholics of his diocese:
II earnestly coni0re you all
to avoid all occasion of ex-
element. and 70 shun all pub
lie places Of sssembIage, and
to do nothing that in any
way may exasperafe. Follow
peace with all men, and have
that Charity without which
no man can see God"
Not only were level-minded
Philadelphians of every creed
shocked by this debacle; the
entire nation was Mortified.

end of the total acceptance
of the teaching of Jean

silence of the tomb when COM

Nativists converged on the
Church of st. Philip Neri in

suburb like Kensington. De-
tered by the arrival of the
military from taking any &C

again the following day. But

thing more than sullen

actual warfare broke out, with

replying with their muskets.
BY the lowest estimate Is
people were killed and more
than so wounded. Thousands
of Catholic families fled
Philadelphia, and martial law
was in force for weeks in the
city.
PUBLIC INDIGNATION and
horror was widespread at the
anarchy of the Nativist riots
in Philadelphia. But a similar
revulsion had taken place
after the burning of the
Charlestown convent, and yet
the mob spirit had not been
quenched. Actually bloody
barbarities had increased;
why were they TO end at
Philadelphia? 1t was Bishop
John Hughes Of New York
who shored up a solid founda-
ton upon which public opin-
ion could stand mistaken.
When reports of the first
riot in Philadelphia's suburb
of Kensington reached New
York, Nativists there lit the
fires for similar action. A
huge mass meeting was call
ed for Central Park. Bishop
Hughes was not inundated.
WHEN Napoleon in 1912
reached Moscow the retreatint
Russians burned the city as
they left. Referring to this
method of defense Hughes
publicly declared: IF a single
Catholic Church were burned
in New York, the city would
become a second Moscow" His
quick investigation revealed
New York state law provided
no compensation for churches
burned by rioters. The bishop
then warned the mayor that
Catholic property would be
protected.
Actual self-preservation
Hughes did not leave to
impromptu action, but quickly
stationed up to 1000 armed
men around each church.
Realizing that such measures
we're dangerous in themselves,
the Bishop utilized the Free
mans journal and Catholic
Register to rush Instructions
that no Catholic was to strike
the first blow. Ii attack came,

Production of gasoline

to await the drilling of
the first successful oil

sylvania. 1t would seem that
some had been made in ad-
vance from the flash-fires of
anti.Ca catholicism which flared
after The burning of Massa-
chusetts' Ursuline convent in
1885.
Once the stopper has been
jerked from the jug of mob
violence, the inSidious fumes
are almost impossible to con-
troll. "Reminiscences and APP
~eals go UNDECIDED because
the action had even its be-
ginning outside of the law.
CONCERTED ACTION
against the Church, however,
awaited the formation Of the
Native American Party, which
is believed to have begun at
Germantown, Penn, in 1887.
Its declaration of principles
demanded that all public Of
fees should be limited to ma
tive Americans only. The real
objective of the party in at
lacking Catholic immigrants
may be readily recognized
from the epithets used in
their newspapers: Irish Pap
lists" and the degraded
slaves of the Pope"
BY 1874 the Nativist Party
was known as the American
Republican Association. Early
in May Philadelphia members
were notified to meet in the
suburb of Kensington, heavily
peopled with Irish. Under
such provocation, of course,
trouble broke out. Several
were killed, scores injured,
and IS to 30 homes of Catho-
lies were reduced to ashes.
THOUGH MILITARY AID
was called, the next day two
Catholic churches were burn
ed TO the ground. George
Washington had contributed
to the building of one of
them. Saint Augustine's. A
school OF the Sisters of Char
ity was likewise destroyed by
flames.
Almost exactly II years be-
fore, the Board OF Guardians
of Philadelphia had framed a
resolution of thanks to other
Sisters. The bravery and
goodness they had shown in
caring for cholera victims, the
resolution declared, "entitle
them to the warmest thanks
and gratitude Of the whole
community. which has bene-
fitted by their labors." Now
the appreciation had been
shown by burning a Sisters
school to the ground.

children from even solidly
Catholic homes would be
shaken in their faith from
constantly hearing repeated
such a phrase as 'deceitfuI
Catholics" to quote one of the
least offensive terms.
Though he was promptly
labeled as an enemy of the
Bible, the Bishop sought al
location of the school funds
for construction of separate
Catholic institutions. If that
would not be granted. he
asked that Catholic pupils
study the Douay version "a
Catholic translation of Holy
Scripture.
HUGHES WAS excoriated
so Soundly that neither polit-
ical party would promise re-
lief of any kind. The bishop
then took the bold step of
entering a Catholic ticket in
a school election and its vote
was sufficient to cause the
Democrats to lose. Neither the
city nor the state legislature
ever accepted the proposals
Hughes had made. Neverthe-
less, victory in part came
when the reading of the Prot
estant Bible was dropped in
many municipal schools.
AS recently as this past
summer a popular national
magazine compared John
Hughes unfavorably with 9TH
er Catholic prelates who later
obtained national distinction
similar to his. That this Bish-
OPP Cater Archbishop of New
York was a vigorous and
fortnight individual is alb
solutely true. But suavity and
JUNCTION would have made no
impress on either the. leaders
or the mobs who in his days
were violently anti-C Catholic.
A time comes when force
must be met with force and
John Hughes had the courage
and simplicity to use it. Their
appetites whetted by the
blood spilled in Philadelphia,
the agitators who rushed to
New York in 1874 would nev.
err have listened to words,
however persuasive. But the
armed resistance of the church
guardians whom Bishop Hugh
es had marshalled slowed their
malevolent rush to a sedate
walk.
THIS sMokE-BLAcKENED
decade for American Catho.
lies had commenced with the
destruction of the Charles
town convent. 1t ended abrupt
ly with the burning of the
churches in Philadelphia. 1t
ceased so quickly because
John Hughes from his cup of
American citizenship had
drunk deeply the. invigorating
red wine of American cour-
age.
