when she bumps against fshing-smack,
and the inherent supremacy of state insti-
tutions would have remained to bless the
simple cattle-herdcr when he retired to rest
with six-3hooter on his hip. But
there is another probability. Per
haps this conscientious official saw
danger ahead in his party. He might
be politically wrecked if he undertook to
cram religion down the throats of that vast
Democratic majority, and hence concluded
to steer clear of tho trouble. The Governor
has made himself and his state, so far as he
could commit it, ridiculous. The appoint
ment of thanksgiving day in this coun-
try is mere matter of form. When the
time arrives there is no squad of militia or
police to drive us to church. He who wants
to 90 fishing can do so without subjecting
himself to prosecution. Let it be said to
her credit that Texas has shown more sense
than her boss

THE WAY of the Hcathcn Chince is
made very hard out West. In an Oregon
town, a Celestial mother piously and con-
scientiously bandagcd her daughters feet,
but the little Americanizcd Chince, having
inhaled the atmosphere of liberty, rebelled
against ancient tyranny and yelled accord
ingly. The ncighbors cxpostulated in vain,
and at length the tcnder-hearted and
chivalric miners bombarded the house, seized
the child, cut off the bandages soaked the
suffering feet in some Yankee patent lini-
ment, and roundly swore that ifthc mother
ventured to renew the process, they would
consider themselves bound as American
gentlemen to take her out and hang her.

WHENEVER THE Hon. Roscoe CoNK
LING feels like collecting obituary matter
for the use of his biographer, he can learn
something to his advantage by going into
any well-rcgulated newspaper Office, accom-
panied by pair of shears, and asking the
privilege of cutting out pertinent articles
from. the exchange pile. He can be accom-
modated with touching illusions to his
august parsonage, ranging from three lines
long to yard and a-half, and may pick up
n few valuable hints

SOUTH AMERICA has also the great good

TINE BRINGS about strange revenges
The day once was when England put to
hazard honor and reputation in defense of
King Cotton, and now when that dethroned
magnate has by a freak of fashion found a
lucky streak of fortune, the wool interests
of Britain can make up the peeresses of the
realm to enter into leagne with royal
princesses at their head, to fight the fashion
of cotton gowns and induce all the world
to dress in robes Of English wool.

THE ANNIVERSARY of the battle of StOn-
ington is to be celebrated near that place in
the old family mansion by gathering of
the Palmers. 1t will be strictly private, as
only about two thousand of the six thous-
and members of the family are expected to
attend The great forefather of the clan
was Walter Palmer, who settled in America
in 1929. This worthy was the parent of
twelve children; one Of his daughters is re-
ported as the mother Of dozen, and this
family popularity is sufficient explanation
of the announcement that the present gen.
Grafton numbers about six thousand. Cen
cral Grant is invited to attend, as tracing
his blood to this common ancestor, and it is,
perhaps, from this Palmer lineage that our
great hero derives his remarkable proclivity
to pilgrimages.
Gov. ROBERTS is quite too tenderly con-
stitutional. He loves the immutable laws
of republicanism too much, quite too much
for the boss of State like Texas, which is
composed in about equal proportions of cattle
thieves and thugs. His profound soul led
him to doubt the propriety, that is, the
high constitutional propriety, of allowing
himself to weigh anchor and drift out into
a sea of doubt and storms where said con-
stitutional principles might be ship
wrecked with himself and the great
seal of the State ON board. Hence
he issued ukase stating that he did
not feel at liberty to confound the relations
of Church and State by appointing day ol
Thanksgiving for the Presidents recovery
He hoped his beloved subjects would take
the business into their own hands as private
individuals, for his heart was in the cause
