is false in every particular. Tho vote

Mr.. Brown accompanied the reading

which Owen Brown rose and spoke of
the entire good faith in which Watson

return of their income for taxation.
The younger brother, Wilhelm, or
Willy, as he is called, appears to be the
richer man Of the two-at all events
for the present taxable year. His re-
turn is 1,7sG,OOO marks. The elder
brother, Meyer Kari, on the other
hand, only returns 5,56O,00e marks.
According to the figures rendered by
himself to the Government, Baron
Willy Rothschild enjoys a daily in

An anti-Semitic print details the fig

Jew is receiving 561 marks, or $40,

four cents every second. -Four cents a

THE NECESSITY OF VIGILANCE.

For some reason or other the clcc-
ton Of Il member Of congress does not
attract so much attention., or call out
as large Il vote, as the election of con-
stable or q justice of the peace. We
warn all good Democrats not to be
caught mapping at the congressional
election which Will soon be upon us.
Let every one register and vote
whether he thinks his ticket is in dan
ger or not.
The activity in the Republican
camp means something. In nearly
every district there is Il scramble for
the congressional nomination. Insome
of them two or three Republican can
didates are in the field and persist in
running. 1t is understood, too, that
Jay Hubbell's fund and Izellogg's Gus
tOmhouse assessment will both be used
pretty freely in the congressional elcc-
tions in Louisiana.
Perhaps these men do not expect tC
be elected and are only making show
ing in order to have the Democrats
counted out, in case the next house is
Republican, as Chalmers and Wheeler
and Tillman were cOunted out by the
present Republican house. Or perhaps
they think that they have really !,
chance to get majority at the polls, by
the use of money, energy and activity.
Whatever may be their reasons it be-
hooves the Democrats to put forth their
whole energies in the coming election
to foil them in their objects. 1t is i'm
portant that the Republicans should
not succeed at the approaching clcc-
ton. 1t is important that the Demo
Gratis should have a majority in the
next house of representatives. More
over, success now may mean success at
the next state election and the relcga-
ton of che state to republican rule. If
so, we know what the character Of that
rule will be. It will be Il repetition of
the domination from which we have
escaped. This campaign has shown,
even thus early, that the Republican
party has not improved While in retire
ment. The men who formerly held
power are trying again for the front

tie is driven to tho wall in the third

like Gen. Busy and Col. Durwcll, who

CHURCH AND STATE.
From Richland lscaron.1

ltioIl' INlcHl'th'
It is asserted, upon what authority
we arc unable to say, that Gen. Nc
Millen, Republican candidate for Rep
resentive of this dictrict, advises the
colored people to organize Republican
clubs in their churches, and that he
said to them in a speech at Delta that
Republicanism and Christianity were
so closely allied that there was no
harm in preaching Republicanism from
their pupits and organizing clubs in
their churches. They arc just about as
closely allied as Heaven and the infer
nal region.
We, Of course, only have hearsay
evidence that Gen. McMillen said this;
but if he did say ii, we say most en-
phatically that he is Il dcrnngoguc of
the very worst and most dangerous
character, who deserves to be politically
buried beyond resurrection beneath the
eXccrations and condemnation of all
lovers of liberty in the United States
and any pretended church organization
that will allow such practices ns he
advises has no right to expect to be
recognized as n religious body. Indeed,
any man who would vote for one who
gives utterance to such dangerous anti
republican and pcrniriOus sentiments

THE LAW OF MARRIAGE.

n question which cIicits no little
interest, has been sent down to tho
Presbyterics for consideration. Their
attention is invited to tho question,
"Whcther it would not DO advisable
to repeal the rule forbidding marriage
with the sister of u deceased wife :n
As this prohibition was part of the
civil law Of Englond, ii was necessarily
incumbent on Presbytcrians before tho
connection with the mother country
was broken. When American indepen-
dance was secured, il lost its support in
the civil law, and held its place as n
question OF conscience. Our Digest
shows that ON this ground it did not
fully commend itself to the moral con-
victions of our people. And tho sen,
timcnt of uistrust has not diminished.
We think that the tendency of senti-
mcnt among other Christian denomina-
lions is moving in the same directions;
the English Parliament still
upholds the old law.
But now that tho matter has been
brought before our Church for con-
we feel that it ought to be
dealt with fuaily. a majority OF two
thirds Of our Prcsbytcrics will be sufll-
cicnt to repeal the rule. We are of tho
opinion that such Il majority can be
obtaincd.-N. q. Presbyterian.
