THAT EXTRA SESSION.

The Governor has declined to accede to
the demands of the extra session petit
TONERS, and refuses to convene the Legisla-
ture. 1t has been evident from the outset
that the cry for an extra session had no
reason in it. The people have not desired
it, nor has it been shown that, if called, it
could have comprised any of the ends laid
out for it. 1t would not even have aided
the personal ambition of the political as
pirants, whose selfshness is at the bot
tom of all the frothy attempt to kindle ex-
element on the subject; in fact, it would
have been an extinguisher to the hopes of
all that class, and for this one reason there
is some cause for regret that the session
will not be called. But the good of the
State required the Executive to do as has
been done, and kill off a scheme that
would have entailed extraordinary cost
upon the State without the slightest recon-.
pense. The considerations surrounding
the whole subject are stale, and there is no
profit in giving them any further attention.
The Governor has refused to become the
agency for the accomplishment of private
and selfish ends, and it is seen already,
contrary to the windy prophecies of the
extremists, that the people approve his
action.

VEALY MARRIAGES.

The discussion of the divorce ques-
ton " has evolved one matter that has
had comparatively small consideration, but
which is vital factor, it is the marriage of
mere boys and girls. Primarily hasty and
too youthful marriages are the causes of
much after misery and final disruption of
the marital tie. If "boy and girl mar.
riages, as the Brooklyn Union terms them,
are fruitful of divorces and of great
evils, why not narrow the opportunities for
them? There can be set up no statute to
prevent young men and women from max
ing for themselves beds of woe; but the
law may refuse to be a party to unwise
unions. To raise the age of legal consent
is one thing that may be done in this direc-
ton 70 require prior declaration and
record of some considerable time is another.
In New York State, for instance, boy of
IA and a girl of II may marry, if only
they can find an officer to perform the
ceremony nor is it even required there
that license shall be procured. With
such loose system it is no wonder that
divorced women of is and divorced men of
% are numerous in New York.

" CHRISTIAN PEOPLE"

The Hebrew objects to the phraseology
of the Governors proclamation for thanks.
giving. It says: "GOvernor Stoneman
wants us to give thanks as AN enlightened
and Christian people, He thus adds his
name to the list of Governors who have
committed the error of excluding large
sections of the community from the
supposed scope of their proelamations. ="
This is captious criticism. christian
people" is used in a non-religious
sense, of course. 1t has a meaning
now reaching beyond the narrow limits of
its derivation. When we speak of a
Christian people nowadays, it is not to be
understood to mean the believers alone IN
the divine origin of Christ, but people
whose advanced civilization is character
lied by tolerance guaranteeing, so far as
the State is concerned, that there shall be
made no distinction because of religious
faith. The use of the word christian !"
might have been omitted from the procla-
nation without detracting from its force,
but its introduction gives no warrant for
the long criticism of the Hebre,o. Israelites
and free thinkers, non-believers in the
doctrines of the Christian Church, and all
others are included, when, in general
sense, the term christian people is used.
We have far more respect for the wording
of the proclamation than for the over
constituencies that prompts the exception
taken to it. There might be embarrass-
ment, it is true, on the part of Rabbi, if
he felt it duty to read the proclamation
in his synagogue, but we apprehend that
none of the scholars that fill that Office in
the Hebraic Church will feel bound to read
it, or that they will construe the term as
an ofense to those who worship according
to the ritual of their faith.
