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. The ex-
rleof ReyoolCsvllle it well worthy

A Few Remarks.
Tho Rod Cross Society God bless
them, each and every one.
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
