NO N0BLER DEATH.

The foul murder of Father Leo Heinricks IN
St. Elizabeth's Church, Denver, by demoniac
man. is one of the greatest blessings that has de-
scended upon society since the assassination of
President Mckinley. The assassination of the
president was the expression of conspiracy or
ganzed for the destruction of the state; the muir
der of the priest the protest of the same con-
spiracy against religion. Between the assassina-
ton of the president and the murder of the young
priest there is striking resemblance The presi-
dent approached under the guise of friendship
and foully sain the priest invited to his death
by the plea of sacramental devotion. In both in
stances the assassins exulted in the success Of
their murderous mission. We have no sympathy
for the priest rejoice III the manner of his tax
ing off, and thank God that he was slain at the
foot of the altar His murder is the apotheosis Of
crime, the glorification of sin. His death was he
death of the martyr and, like his Divine Master,
he an innocent victim slain on the altar erect
ed by demons and demonized men for the alteration
of lawessness and lust This man Guarnaccio was,
like the assassin of the president, of a low order
of intelligence, who, from his childhood, was sat
urated with sin till his nature was perverted his
heart hardened, and his brain diseased few
more assassinations of presidents and few more
murders of priests, and the commonwealth will
awaks to the sound of the tramp of the hosts
marching to the destruction of society. In that
awful social catac ysm, to be known for all time as
the French Revolution, ," the slogan of the in
furlates was Let us strangle the last of the
kings with the bowels of the last of the priests"
War was then declared by the demonized hosts on
mi who stO for ha o,,d
petuity of law, order and religion. Now, how are
these devils, like Guarnacco and the murderers of
our presidents, developed, manufactured and turn
ed loose on society Well, read this taken from
an editorial of NJ. Cornely in de Matin," Paris
