Saturday, September 17th. was tho Hebrews' New Year's Day, beginning tho year onoi) of their era, which Is as sumed to begin with the biblical time of the creation of tho world. On this day, no matter how fur apart tho chances of life and of nations may have spix-ad the Jewish pooplo, they feel and celebrate us one family. It is for them not a day of noisy rejoicings, but on tho contrary It Is a day superb by its relig ious seriousness, filled with the best of moral toachings. As all Jewish holi days, tho observance of New Year's Day b?gan with sunset of Friday and con tinued until sunset of Saturday. No man can long do his duty in busi ness or socially and politically without making enemies. If you combat wrong you must Incur the enmity of tho wrong doer. There are persons who are all things to all men, who got through life with few enemies, but tho world Is no bettor from their having lived. A neu tral Ufa Is no factor in the warfare that is being waged in the world be tween right and wrong, and when you can write on a man's tombstone, "lie was without enemies," you can safely inscribe on tho reverse sido, "and did nothing for tho good of mankind." It is only tho mnn that has the courage of his convictions and will stand for the right regardless of consequencos to him self, who is of account In the warfare against evil. The act of July 15, 181)7, provides that "from and after the passage of this act it shall be unlawful for any person or persons to pay or cause to bo paid any occupation or poll tux assessed against an elector, except upon the written and signed order of such elect or authorizing such payment to be made, which written and signed order must be presented at least thirty days prior to the date of holding the election at which the elect--or desires to vote.'' Any person violat ing this act is subject to Imprisonment for a term of not less than twenty days and not exceeding six months, or by a fine not exceeding $200. All voters should pay their own occupation taxes -and take no chances of violating this law. A writer on the Philippines says that no law on those islands is more quaint than that which relates to the property of married persons. It is entirely in favor of the wife. Property of a bride is never by any chanoe settled on a bus band, and if the husband be poor and she well oft he can only become at most an administrator of hor possessions. After death the property goes to bor children and blood relatives, unless a deed has been executed in the husband's favor. A married woman bears ber maiden name, but adds to it that of ber husband with the prellx de. Children bear the names of both parents. After tbe marriage ceremony the husband symbolically endows tbe bride with all bis worldly possessions. It seems to be clearly a case, so far as the wife is con cerned, of "what is yours is mine, what is mine is my own."' . The people of Reynoldsville are re joicing over the fact that in a few days a silk mill will be in operation in tbe borough which will employ 3f0 hands and turn out annually manufactured material worth 1, 000,000. Tbe plant will be one of interest not only to tbe people of the town, but to those of the western section of the State. Keyn oldsville has coal, lumber and woolen industries to depend on, but its citizens have sensibly sought for an increased diversity of occupation, aud have made a wise oboioe in selecting a silk factory Such an establishment will give em ployment at a remunerative rate prln olpally to tbe young women of the bor ough, but also to a number of men and buys and add considerably to its pros perity. When the ooai and lumber in' dustries are depressed the wages com' log from tbe silk mill will keep the wolf from many a borne where it other wise would have eotrauoe.

All tho truth never will be told; not In this world. While wo never will forget to "Ro- momber the Maine," wo must not forgot to remembor tho heroes that stayed at home. The devil may not bo ns black as he s painted, but there are somo people not painted black enough. Misses may bo as good as Mile but it would have taken a great many of them to have bundled tho Into little unpleas antness as successfully as did tho Gen eral. Will there bo an Investigation or will there not? Whitewash Is cheap, but It will not bring dead heroes to Ufa or prop marble tombstones over their Im mature resting places. While tho officers aro being dined, wined and feted and, Incidentally, a great mnny of them promoted, what are we going to do with tho men who really did tlio work? With American pluck and American lush the time may como when Santiago, Chill, may play second fiddle to San tiago. Cuba. In tho lute war right nnd Providence hnvo been on our side. Let us not for get that, and keep on tho side of both. If the general trend of tho newspaper criticisms, not to mention several thous and uncounted soldier's complaints, aro even about one-seventh the truth, there s a grand chance for Secretary Alger to partly redeem himself by resigning and hereafter being known as an ex secretary of war, with the ex In very small typo. Give, credit to whom crecMt may bo due, but all who may seek to exalt tliemsolves, to the detriment of others, should serve as did the King in Tenny son's poem, and oven then they should pass tho portals of Dunte's Inforno. If the colonel of the late "Rough Riders" is elected governor of New York It will take a long time to loam to give him his proper title Instead of re ferring to him as "Teddy." Now is about tho time to turn on the search-light and "toll the truth." Truth crushed to earth will rise again" but wo don't want it crushed. We want it to stand up as straight and plain as the statue of liberty, and if any wrongs have been done, let them be rectified. Tbo work of tho Red Cross is one of the bright and shining lights In the lato war, which we trust will be the last for many generations to come. We have not yet had too much of Dewoy, Schley, &o., but we have had too llttlo of the brave boys In both army and navy who did the actual fighting. We Americans can justly boast of our successive victories, but there is an other Power to whom we should give credit on bendod knees. Now that the Oregon and Iowa have been ordered to Manila, will Germany and Admiral Doldrlchs be good. Marriage Licenses. The following marriage licenses were issued the past week by John S.
