San Antonio Express.

It seems that the Express was mistaken
wien it stated editoriallya few DAYS ago
thst Gov. Roberts had joined other governors
of states in arranging tor day OF thanks
Giving and praise on account OF the recovery
of President Gaif We made the state
ment on the authority of an associated press
dispatch giving the states from which respon>
SEES to Testers had been received, Texas APP
pesripg among the others. Gov. RJberts,
however, declines to join in the movement,
giving as his reason thst he does not deem
il consistent with his position as governor to
issue proclamation directing religious GER
vices, where church and state ought
to be kept seperate in their
functions. 1t seems to as that 10
this matter the governor is disposed to
split hairs, and by SO doing shows that he
is not altogether consistent in his views
The proposed proclamation would be only a
recommendation, not mandatory, and while
it would prescribe no particular form OF
b4oorship it would leave each and every one
{ 20 to observe the day according to indi-
iusl dictates of conscience, or not observe
at all. There would have been not even
tie semblsce of an interference of state in
church matters. More than nine-tenths of
The people of Texas entertain a religious be-
ll6I bOmb hluu, uuu Whho VIZ ioiiSioeS
people of other states have, or will, sci
apart day for the special purposes indica-
ted, in Difference to that religious sen-
timent the governor should have joined with
the others in indicating the time. The
governor being so sensitive on tho question
of the relation of church and state, we are
surprised that he did not veto the Sunday
law on the same grounds that he declines
the proposition of Gov. Foster, of Ohio, for
bis position in that event would have been
mucn more tensble. This law is an interfer-
ence with the liberty of individual opinion
and action entirely foreign to the
preservation of the peace or the pc sonil OF
political rights Of communities, and 1t Is
mandatory snd carries penalty with IT. In
Difference to the religious sentiment OF one
class of people, therefore, the governor does
not hesitate to order restriction upon the
individual action of another class on Sunday
but deciiues to recommend particular dsy
as special occasion for q religious oeser'
vance on the part Of those desiring TO re-
coEnize it, because ii would be inconlis'en'
with bis ideas of the relations OF the church
and state. We certainly fail TO appreciate
the governors position.

EX-GOVERNOR HOFFMAN, at the Garfield
meeting of Americans in Paris, said sensi-
BILE word as follows: 'sTo me, as a citizen
of the United States of America, the great,
and I may say the only, consoling fact in
connection with the manner of the Presi-
dents death is the fact that the assassin was
not the instrument or representative of am
bilious men seeking power or of an oppressed
and discontented people seeking relief
The crime vas, therefore, Without political
significance. 1t was-and say it with de-
liberation--the act of an individual insane
enough to commit the great offence without
provocation, and yet, so far as now known,
sane enough to be held responsible for it.
Whether this last be so or not will be deter
mined not by arbitrary power or military
tribunals, but in the ordinary course of ju-
dicial proceedings, where vengeance will
have no place, and where the majesty of the
law will be asserted and the principles of ex-
act Justice vindicated."

The October number of Scribner's Monthly
is the last, for the November number will
be called the Century. II with peculiar apnro-
nriateness opens with an excellent illustrated
article descriptive of Old Yorktown. Charles

paper on primeval California, and the second
naper on the Coniferous Forests of the Sierra
Nevadas, is a good companion piece. Another
illustras ed article is entitled Bear Hunting ia

HARTFORD Courant: This drawing to-
gether of the great English speaking peo
pies, once so bitterly and-as it seemed
hopelessly a.ienatcd, is one of the most aus
picious signs of the times. One powerful
agency in bringing it about has not, per-
haps, been properly appreciated. The great
international religious gatherings OF recent
years-the Pan n-Anglcan synods, the Pan
Presbyterian councils and the ecumenical
conference Of the Methodists have done
much to make the widely scattered branches
and colonies of the Anglo-Saxon race feel,
and rejoice in, their Finship. They count
for much in this wonderful outflow of Brit
ish sympathy to us in our national bereav-
