Romanism and the School Fund in New York.
THE school moneys ($218,000) of New York City were recently distributed. The Hebrew schools, or societies, received $6,000; the Protestant schools 32,000; the Roman Catholics received $180,000! Three papal schools alone received $32,500 (being $500 more for three Catholic schools than for all the Protestant schools combined!). It is well known that the masses of Romanists pay but a very small portion of the school-tax, and the $180,000 which the Romanists received was mainly paid by Protestants. There is papal justice and equality for you! No wonder they want a division of the school fund in Indiana. Under the operation of the “Charity Bill,” which recently passed the legislature of New York, a million of dollars have been donated, or appropriated, to benevolent institutions, a little over two-thirds of which (in exact figures $686,750) has fallen into Catholic hands!—Lafayette Weekly Courier.
