Tho Iloman church wa a terror to them In day gone by( For offending it they expected to wuko up next morning with a knlfo through tholr heart or bo Urtureif to death at tho tako.

Hot ween 11 and 12 o'chx'k on Tuesday night, a well dressed, middle aged man ambled into tho Central police station in this city, breathless with haste and anger, and flushed with liquor. lie was attired In a prlnco AUiort coat and black trousers, and wore a priest' col lar and cravat, llo stated to tho officer In charge that ho had iioon roblsid and demanded to so a detective, llo was referred to Detective- John Campbell to whom ho stated that ho had madu the acquaintance of a woman whom ho had accompanied to a saloon at tho corner of Ilrusli and Macomb st reets. Hero ho claim that ho drank lcr and was robls'd, by tho woman, of JNO. Upon Isdng pressed by tho officer in charge ho admitted that tho woman in ques tion was a negro. Detective CamplHill quickly succeeded In locating tho woman at 1111 Hasting street. She Is known a Lizzie Person, and is a notoriously bad ncgress of most pronounced typo. When brought to headquarter she stated In tho presence of tho complain ant that tho latter had stated to her that he was a Cathollo priest, which ho himself did not deny in her presence, Sho stated that tho priest accosted her upon tho street and suggested that they should go to a saloon and get somo beer. Tho woman then went on to relate a conversation that teok place between tho pair toovllo to find a place in tho lowest typo of newspajK-r. The well mated pair then returned to Dtmter's negro dlvo at tho corner of Macomb and Hrush and drank lioor, Tho priest eventually partly divested himself of hi clothing and shortly afterwards, tiKin leaving tho pliie discovered that ho hud boon robbed of 10. He rj the complaint and arrest. Tho priest stated at firM that hi name wu Muoux and that tif raided at Oak harbor. Later he bd-vorcd to change hi namo aod lated that ho camo from Kalorfiaaw. When ho first went into tho station he wore hi clerical collor. When im returned in company with tho woman it had disap peared. Upon being questioned he said that he had thrown the collar away a it wa lolled . Suspecting that possibly the mtoslng money might still be upon tho jiertton of tho complainant the officer In charge prixweded to search tho jsx ket of tho man. In vain tho priest endeavored to keep the officer from hi hip isxskct. They would not 1) denied and a moment later fished from the hidden depth thereof a complete rosary, crucifix, mlnature Christ and the remainder of the priestly paraphernalia. "For God' sake don't give mo away," cried tho now trembling priest. "It will ruin me." Ho pleaded hard to havo tho matter hushed up on ac count of hi sacred vocation. "I havo nothing to do with tho newspaper, I merely do my duty hero a an officer," sii Id tho officer in charge. Tho priest refused to mako a complaint and the money wa returned, but tho woman placed in custody. Subsequently tho criminal reporter of the Detroit tet. l'r(M and Tribune ascertained the fact in the case and gavo the reverend blackleg tho roasting he deserved. The copy however, in at least one case never passed the night editor but found an abiding place amongst the MSS. of tho Protestant contributor of the waste-paper basket. Commenting upon the above the ' triotfc, American says: If anything were needed a a terrible warning to husbands and father against committing the honor of their wive and daughter to the keeping of the ,4 t I I. l In ,..'

Today, In all probability ho Is at homo, and within a few day will Is) listening to tho confession of some pure woman and poisoning her ears with Ills devilish insinuations and sug gestions. Think of it, father and mother think of your pure children In the hands and power of such lecher on wretches a these tit whom tho low est forms of vice are not vicious enough, but that they must needs dlvo in the slough of immorality in order to aj 'ase their priestly apatites. If this were a solitary case it should Iks a sufficient excuse to cither banish celibacy from tho prlesthoisl, or else banish the entire race from the fuco of the earth. Who can tell how mahy yearB that this demoralized blackguard has boon pursuing hi double life of roue and priest? Who can tell how many pure women he has corrupted how much of innocent purity ho has blasted how many tiny feet diverted from the pathway to God lo tho hell of hlsowndiseuHod morality? Ono cannot dabble in mud and remain clean. And what can bo said of a press so venal that it will consent to suppress these iniquities ut tho bidding of tho priest hood? It is a sad commentary upon tho vaunted power of the press of this coun try when a clerical scoundrel of thl strlpo can break tho laws of God and morality and yet retain hi power of evil. Well may American cry "We have no, press but Homo's" when such scoundrel aro permitted to go uncostl gated. Of tho many ease of this kind that aro dully hushed up by tho news paper of tho country tho above I a fair sample and but for the existence of the Patriotic Anurlcun, which will not llo and cannot Ixj bribed, this last instance of priestly depravity would havo boon buried In tho past with it follow. I'ttlriolk Amirlmn. Papal "Claim" Arraigned. If there were no other reason for American distrusting tho Hotnan hie rarchy a sufficient ono would lie because of Its false pretenses. Claiming to bo tho primitive church, directly founded by It great head, tho Savior of tho world, that church, a It exists today is but a series of creations by various sim and council of varying epochs, so that the original church has Ismn utterly overshadowed by such numls-r of outgrowth as to havo utterly lost its pristine character, Tho original church now believe In tho worship of "saints." That practice camo In many year afterwards. About (UK) A. 1). the use of tho Latin language in tho service was intrcslucod and pretty sixm tho papal notion' of su premacy wa set up. In another hun dred year or o tho worship of images wa enjoined. Then tho "saint"' were canonized and they begun to Ikj wor shipped. Then oomo the baptism of bell named after the saints. Then and not until then wa tho dixjtrlno of tran substantiation et up and tho mass, a it 1 held today, duly organized a the church ritual. The uo of bead or "rosaries" used in counting tho number of prayer said began about thl tlmo, a well a tho rule of priestly celibacy: Thl celibacy 1 only a church rule. Any priest will tell you o, and that they do not claim it a a Bible doctrine. About tho year 1,000 tho sale of In dulgencie began, which grew to uch excesso four hundred year after a to lead to tho reformation, with Luther at it head. Purgatory hadn't been thought of yet. Hut that and the wor ship of tho Virgin Mary, and half a dozen more dixjtrlnos, were formulated by tho council of Trent in l."03 and put to the world a tho creed of Piu V., and everybody who didn't swallow it whole wa tobe-dummcd. Thedoctrino of papal infallibility camo within the present generation. All thl goe to show that pope and priest who sanction tho claim of tho iloman Catholic church being the mother church when it is but a collec tion of men's dicta tacked on at inter val to Christianity, are not tho kind of men American want to put in control of things.
