CHURCH AND STATE.

There are marked periods In the
history of nations that seem TO set at
naught our most cherished ideas. In
this day OF the Importance and power
of religious thought 1t would seem
reasonable that the most perfect form
Of government would be one inti'
mately associated with and most di-
rectly controlled by union OF church
and state, and where the church was
powerful in the government OF the
state. History negatives such an
idea. 1t was thought at an early day
In ancient civilization that some re-
iigion was absolutely necessary for
the existence of the state, and not
withdrawing the educated Romans
had no confidence in the mythology
they obtained from the more civilized
Greeks, the rulers insisted upon the
worship OF their gods and god
desses and felt 1t q necessity
to sustain and perpetuste a
government through and by the
force of q theology they regarded as
mythical.
This idea lasted through the mid
die ages and when the full blaze Of a
modern civilization illuminated the
most enlightened nations 1t still de-
clared its power in the connection of
shurch and state with the full digni-
ty of the ecclesiastical courts, with
the divine right Of kings and the In
fallability Of the pope. Never until
q republic was born on the Western
continent did this prevailing senti-
ment lose its influence and resign its
power usurped through centuries by
the prejudices of custom and fanati-
cism. 1t remained for the republic to
teach the world that the most Fer.
feet system of government could be
maintained without any connection
between church and state, Notwith-
standing this it must be admitted
that this government ia founded upon
and sustained by the truths that en-
innate from the truths Of christianity,
bnt Its autonomy In NJ wise depends
upon the political recognition Of any

LEGISLATIVE REFORM

While the bill pr esented by Senator
Greer may need amendment, IL cor
tainly ia a movement in the right d.
reaction. He proposes in his bill to re-
duce the number of the memosr Oh
the legislature and to change the time
and length OF the sessions 30 tha' d
continuous session of six months may
be held, and special amount be paid
for the services without mileage or any
other contingencies.
It must be admitted by those VINO
have closely watched Legislation that
the body of the Texas Legislature mas
become too cumbersome to act with
best intelligence and facility. The main
work of such body Is done IN the
committee room and the action OF
committees is generally based upon
better information than is ever con-
viewed to the house, and 1t takes 700
much time in instructing the numer-
GUS body in all the details necessary
for intelligent action. Perhaps t"o-
thirds of the members depend upon
the committee for guidance In their
support or opposition to every Dill
proposed, and costly time is wasted III
controlling, often, local pre1udlce
against an important measure. Inc
proverb which attributes wisdom 10
the multitude is moi applicable to a
legislative body, and the cost IL TOO
great to waste the time OF valuable
members in educating Others who
take no especial pains in educating
themselves.
Again, 1t is fact endorsed by the
consensus of opinion of our most
thoughtful legislators that the legal
time of o session, sixty days, is too
short for the legislature to give proper
consideration to the laws proposed
DURING the session. At least half
month is wasted or rather utilized in
getting tho popular branch into full
and easy working order. Until that
is effected it is impossible for the ma
chinery to grind out any of the grist
that comes to the mill. BY the close
of the first thirty days, bills of impor'
lance are in proper condition for
thorough examination and action and
this last thirty days is too short a
time to give these numerous oilis
proper digestion by men who are not
experts In legal construction. Every
one OF the members is in conscience
bound to consider each of these Dllls
independently. Now suppose at the
expiration of fifteen or thirty days the
bills already proposed were given t'
the very best lawyer in the state ano
his opinion asked upon each Dill
would such q lawyer risk his reputa
ton by such an examination as INT
time allowed? Certainly not, and II
lawyer could not conscientiously az
so, how can 1t be expected from
member of the legislature who Is no
an expert in the construction OF lega
propositions? Weare not prepared t.
saw that Mr.. Greer's bill Is the bes
that can be made, but we do mos
heartily endorse the general idea @
legislative reform indicated by tn
bill.

The A1ociaied PreSs Daily Worlds Fair SpeclaL
CHICAGO, May 25.-There was lively
debate over the Sunday opening quea.
tion at the meeting Of the national
Worlds Fair commissioners to-day.
The matter was brought up by Commits
sioner HuRdley, OF Alabama When
tho order OF unfinished business was
reached, he raised the point that tho
majority report of the judiciary COM
mittee on the directory resolution to
revoke the rules closing the gates Of the
fair on Sunday was properly before the
commission. He held that the minors
ty report, which was, on Tuesday, sub
stituted for the majority report, was
not adopted, aud as a consequence the
majority report must be acted upon.
Half dozen or more commissioners
were at once on their feet demanding
recognition by the chairman. Com
missioner ST. Clair, rthe leader Of the
Sunday opening faction, finally got the
floor and declared that the commission
had finally disposed Of the matter, and
to bring the majority report up would
be wholly out OF order. The substitu-
tion Of the minority for the majority
report placed it (the majority report)
beyond the reach OF the commission.
When the conmission failed to adopt
the minority report, which called for q
modification OF the directory resolution,
II had disposed Of the question, and as
a consequence the action Of the direc-
tory in revoking the rule forbidding
the gates to be opened on Sunday must
stand.
Mr.. Hundley and his supporters vic,
leutly opposed this view Of the subject.
Chairman De Young finally decided
that Commissioner Hundley was wrong
and that the directory resolution must
stand.
A Washington dispatch says that
Attorney General 0lney has officially
stated that he has given instructions to
the district attorney TO take legal meas
ures to prevent the law OF congress
from being violated.
United States District Attorney Mil
christ, following conference with
Attorney General 0lney in Washington,
has sent lengthy telegram Of instruc-
tions to Assistant District Attorney
Hand in Chicago. That official has
already begun the work Of drawing up
a bill for injunction restraining the
Worlds Fair officials from opening the
fair gates on Sunday. The application
for injunction will be filed in the
United States district court as soon rs
completed, which will be Friday or
Saturday.
Director Of Works Burnham this
evening issued an official order to the
effect that the gates Of the Worlds Fair
shall be opened next Sunday.
The order was buried in mass Of
other announcements 1t says: THE
park will also be opened to the public

New YoRK, May 25.-The Spanish
princess Eulalie and her suite arrived
here at $3.50 this afternoon from
Washington. When the infanta's party
and the members OF the committee had
boarded the Slocum at Jersey City, the
Spanish warship, Intanta Isabel, that
had anchored north OF the pier early in
the day, began firing general salute Of
twenty-one guns, at the same time man
ming her yards aud parading marines
on the quarter deck.
The SloCum party left the pier, and
the entire party took soats on the for
ward deck, the princess close by tho
starboard rail, with Whitelaw Reid and
Joseph ]. 0'Donohue on either side.
During the sail up the river the party
received an ovation, salutes being eX.
changed with hundreds OF river craft,
The slocum continued on to Fiftleth
street, where she turned and passed
round the Italian warship Eribanou.
Az tho Slocum turned, tho guns OF the
Miantonomah, lying u mile further up,
fired q welcome. Tho Slocum con-
tinued down the river to Thirty-fourth
street, where alanding was made. Then
the party, headed by the mounted
band, marched along Thirty-fourth
street 10 Fifth avenue and to the Hotel
Savoy,
Along the entire route the princess
received a most enthusiastic reception,
which she gracefully acknowledged.
The streets wore lined with people and
from the windows Of many OF the
houses the Spanish and American flags
were flying.
Mayor Gilroy and George B. Nc.
Clellan, president OF the board OF alder
men, waited at the entrance to receive
the city's guest. AS the carriage
stopped Gen. Porter introduced Mayor
Gilroy to tho infanta and the mayor in
troduced Mr.. Mcclellan as the "presi-
dent OF the municipal council"
Then the mayor offered the princess
his right arm and led the way up the
steps and through the hall to the ele-
vator followed by the prince and Mr.
Mcclellan. The carpet laid down
beneath the canopy was strewn with
lilacs, peonies, roses and carnations
and the moment the lust Of
the party had crossed it the
crowd grabbed every petal Of broken
flowers that the gracious lady had
crushed beneath her pretty shoes.
Whom the party had reached the recep-
ton room Mayor Gilroy advanced to
the infanta and her husband and ex-
tended to them q warm welcome.
The princess replied very quietly and
with Il marked accent: ~ am very
pleased at the graciousness Of. the re-
ception and can lind nothing to say ex-
cept to thank you"
A few OF the committee OF one hun.
dred were then presented, General Var
mum giving the nUmes to Commander
Davis, who repeated them to the in.
fanta and her husband. Only three
ladies we're presented, they being Mrs.
Gilroy, Mrs. Du9row and Mrs. Martin
Brown.
The infanta expressed herself as
charmed with beautiful Washington"
and her treatment thus far in America.
The party then went to their apart
ments.
