CHEAT IN DEATH

'FtNf-<tl i.N A}f4A IT,
 The address of Father Noyatus of the Catho1ic church was an especially strong one in its tribute to the dead president and in it's arraigrment of a1- q ehy. Fathe- Novatus said:
 It is not without temerity that I ad- dress the f. ienEly and good people ot Phoenix on th1s sad occasion, wIen with sorrow laden hearts ws have sembled to pay our just tribute to our late chief magistrate, the great. able a nd a1niab b1e William Mckinley. Were it not for the fact that I deem it ny sol I:ln duty duty both as an American citizen ani as representative of the Catholics of this city to join with my fellow citizens Of the capital of Ali zona in expressing cur heartfelt so"- row both as citizens and Catholics il the tragic death of our late pr silent. | would be 10th to address you. feeling as | do my inability 10 appropriately express our grief over the loss waich we American people have sustained by the hand of vile assassin.

 As in life he was loved by friend and admired by foe. so he is now mcurno by all. At home and abroad his sad death has called forth the strongest eX- prezsicns Of condole1ce with the great stricken republic. made greater by the great president who was 9 peer of the greatest. and in s0ns respects greater than all I leave it to the orators Of the day to proclaim his temporal greatness and turn to view his death bed.
 Ii ds an established truth amply illus- trate1 by spiritual writers that no one car be g; at in death except he has been such in life. In all our sorrow W. have had one great consolntiJn-to sec our chief magistrate die like great and noble man. He has attained mon admiration and esteem by his death than by all h;E iiiugtIious deeIs- When at the summit Of his achievements he submissiveIy bows to the summons Of death: Tt is Gods way; may God's will be done" This is greatness; hum- ble submission to divine Providence.
 But wAile we lament the loss of our esteemed president, accompanied as it was by circuns tances that i'll with in dignatiol every civilized heart we can not find words to express our detesta- ton of a crime prompted by teachings directly opposed to divine authority. For there is no power but from Cod says the scripture. and the Lord said by his own mouth to the Roman gov ernor Pontfus Pilate. Thou wouldst ii-iNt .lO lBNEI ei-dlliSl AllE t-setHt IL were given thee from above" He, therefore. who raises his hand against authority, religious or civil. raises his hand against God. Long hence has the Catholic ol,urch warned against the dangers of the teachings that have lel to the deed which today has stricken the American people with ulspeakab;e sreef.

 Only a few days before th daStardlr deed at Buffalo had been comliitted. the pilot at the helm of the CathoI. tIuIch expressed his grief oyer the iD cr5 ase of anarchiSm. And on receiv- ing the sad news he said
 Modern s1cisty has never been so g.avely mena-ed a now: and the dan ger is growing. The duty of Catholics is to concentrate their lfforts il order to save the country from social catas tr0phe. They must net be dismayed by the apparent strength of the enemy, but face the situation with courage. Tn infamous attempt on the life of the American president ought to warn all governments Of the danger Of allowing excessive liberty to the forces Of sCc.al disorder. Anarchy is meIc ely q c0nple- ment Of socialism. In striking social ism w strike anarchy"
