"'S' f'shbaek Taken to Task for Calling on the
Christian People Alone.

Gov Fishback Taken to Task for caIllino a., +hs
Christian People Alone.
Gov. Flshback has issued the follow
IN Thanksgiving proclamation which
according TO history is the shortest
document of the the kind ever is
sued:
In acknowledgement of the good
ness of God, in obedience to time-hon-
ored custom, and in duty to christian
people, l hereby request the people of
Arkansas to set side the 30th day of
November as day of Thanksgiving
and praise.
Given under my hand as the chef
executive, and attested by the seal of
the state of Arkansas, at Little Rock,
this 9th day of November 1898.
w. NJ. FIsHBACK,
Governor.
In letter to Little Rock daily Rab-
bi Rubenstien calls the Governor to
task as follows:
" His excellency, Gov. hback, used
certain phrase in his Thanksgiving
proclamation which lays him open, l
think, to some criticism. hope he
will not construe into lack of respect
for.him as governor if l point out that
the reference to a particular religion
was out of place in such PROCLAMATION
issued under his official hand and seal.
He requests the people of Arkansas to
observe a Thanksgiving day in ac-
acknowledgements of the goodness of God
and in obediance to a time. honored
custom, reason than which none can be
greater. He adds, however, as furth-
er reason "in duty to a Christian peo-
ple." In my humble judgement 'in
duty to Christian people is no reason
tor issuing his Thanksgiving procla-
nation and should have been omitted.
Being one who has sworn under the
sworn under the con tt tn t i n
to recognize all religious creeds alike in
the state Coy. Fishback cannot give
such official Endorsement Of Christiani-
ty without appearing ungfacious to
those of other creeds and without act
ing in manifest contradiction to the
spirit Of the laws he has sworn to main
tain. President Cleveland did not say
he issued his Thanksgiving proclama-
ton sin duty to Christian people" "
He issued it in duty to all who trace
the blessings of peace and prosperity to
the mercy of Heaven, without regard
to Christian, Jewish or any other creed.
Among the blessings of Heaven one of
the greatest surely is that the Ameri-
can constitution recognizes no religion
as national, thereby insuring forever,
within the territory Of the United
States, the complete liberty of the re-
ligious conscience. The founders of
the republic never intended that the
country or any integral part of it should
be officially declared of Christian in
point of religious belif. His eXcellen-
CIV, Gov. Fishback, therefore, was in
errer when, in the capacity as govern r
of Arkansas, he issued PROCLAMATION
requesting the people-all the people
of the state to observe day of thanks
giving to God' in duty to, or in the
name of Christian portion of them,
as if Christianity wee the only religion
recognized and sanctioned by the ma
tion and state"

FORBIDDEN TO CATHOLICS.
Decision Received From Rome Re.
gardihg the Good Templars Order.

Decision Received From Rome Re-
sardihg the Good Templars Order.
According to Information from Rome the
congregation OF the holy inquisition has de-
cided that the order of Good Templars
must be counted among the societies which
Catholics are not permitted to Join.
The question was first raised by Grand
Chief Templar Frasier Of Wisconsin.
who submitted a request to Archbishop
Kaiser to allow Catholics under his iuris-
diction to become Good Templars. stating
that at the last convention held in Lon
don it was decided that Catholics could re-
veal the secrets of the order to their con-
fesor.
Archbishop Kaiser at that time Informed
Mr.. Frasier that he had decided against
allowing Catholics In his Jurisdiction 10
join the order. This decision has been sus-
tanned and confirmed by the supreme body
of the church which acted upon the appli-
cation OF the project of Norway, who pro-
pounded questions for settlement inyoly-
ing the penalty incurred in joining the In
dependent Order OF Good Templars
The questions were: lis the independent
Order of Good Templars forbidden to Cath
olics in the constitution of the apostolic
see? If not. are Catholics forbidden to
join them under penalty of mortal sin?''
In regard to the first question no definite
answer was given the simply written
words Dillate," which means, Answer
deferred" To the second question an af-
1lrmative answer was made as follows:
Yes. the faithful are forbidden to Join the
Independent Order of Good Templars un-
der pain OF mortal SIM"
The decision is Of no little Importance to
the Catholics because the position of the
Baltimore plenary council in the matter of
secret societies Is upheld by the holy see
even in the face Of concessions made by
the representative orders that the condem-
nation does not refer merely to the order,
but to the principle that secret societies
are inimical to the welfare Of the people.

Sent I'm With Much Interesting In
formation and Statistics.
The annual report of T. Stobo Farrow.
second auditor of the treasury, states that
during the past fiscal year accounts
amounting to ss5,12s.7o4 were passed and
paid through his office. In the same time
S625S letters were written. The card in
dexing" system was partially introduced
during the year with satisfactory results.
Auditor Farrow concludes by saying:
Having taken charge OF the office on
April s. 1893, the principal portion of the
work, an account of which is contained in
this annual report, was done under the d.
rection of my predecessor. The clerical
force of the office had been divided into
eleven divisions until the old army division
was abolished by my predecessor, during
the last fiscal year. leaving ten divisions
IN operation when l took charge of the Of
nee. AS the acts Of Congress making an
preparations for the expenses Of this office
nave never provided pay for chiefs of more
than six divisions the other four divisions
clerks of the classified service. desIrnated
as acting chiefs Of divisions, which seemed
to lack legal sanction. 1 have therefore
consolidated several divisions, reducing the
number TO SIX divisions. and placed the whole
or the clerical force under the charge of ths
six chiefs of divisions provided for by law
The SIX divisions thus formed are as fol-
lows: Bookkeeper's division pay,na ster
ordnance and medical division, pay and
bounty division. mail and property divi-
sion, archives division and Indian division
1T will be observed from the data con-
tanned in this report that the work in mr.
rears has been diminished, and II is hoped
that the reorganization as indicated above
will expedite the dispatch of business and
that the work will in a few years he
