Arizona weekly citizen., 1894-05-26

ran created a sensation last night at the opening of the Catholic Educational Hospital in the Grand Central pslsce here.
 After Archbishop c rrigan delivered his address Cochran began to speak. He was evidently excited. "To de- clare," said he, "that the Cathollc church is hostile to the republic is to declare the mother hostile to her off spring. Those who tell us that the Catholic church and its educational system is hostile to this government must speak falsehood' We cannot have it otherwise. What the church is doing today in its parochiRl schools is [ just the same as she did ages gone by | I believe the time will come when the Catholics will assert themselves and say that they above all others are the men whose training and faith compel them to love the citizens of this re- public.
 Then came a sensation. Cochran speaking of the loyalty ot Catholics to the republic. Turning toward the archbishop and advancing with his foreinger Outstretched, he declared with impassioned eloquence he accepted the teaching of the church from his grace with utmost reverence, "but if the day should ever come," and here MT. Cockran's voice rose until 1t echo ed through the big hall, making the rafters ring, and he was now so close to the archbishop that the outstretched forefnger almost touched his nose, when from the Catholic pulpit you utter one word hostile to the integrity of this government. I tell you that if such lsn- guage falls from your lips, it will be heretical You will be false to the re- public and false to the church that placed the consecratod oil upon your hands for the blessing of your child ren."
 A subdued muamur of astonishment ran through the ball, quickly followed by great burst of applause.
