IN AN article on Hebrew progress, the
tribute to that people: 1t says "The
platform or declaration of principles
adopted by the National Rabbinical
Convention of the Reformed Hebrew
Church Mt It's meeting at Pittsburg,
Tuesday last is a Notable landmark in
the progress of that most remarkable
race, the Jews. There is very large
element among that people who are in
full sympathy with that progressive
movement, large enough, in fact, to
make this manifesto landmark in his
tory. The fundamental principle laid
down is that Judaism Ia n progressive
religion. There are those in the Hebrew
Church, MS in it's great Oilshoot, the
Christian Church. who maintain that
their religion is of such divine origin
that the only progress possible Is in
going back to primitive ideas, getting
rid of the acoretions Of human thought.
The tendency of the day in the Chris
tlan Church is toward the theory which
admits Of progress, and the same leaven
Is at work In the Hebrew meal. Now
that the reform element has declared
itself, it will be seen that between the
Jews Of that class and what Canon
Farrar referred to in his Browning lee
ture as "the Church Of the future" the
partition wall is thin, hardly more, in
| deed, than the ancient rite of clI-
cumcision, which is Semitic In dis
tinotion from Aryan rather than
Jewish in its distinction from Christian.
1t may be said that the Hebrew religion
Is, on the theory Of progress, growth
from the substitution by Abraham OF II
saorihcial lamb for his own son. One Of
the earliest forms of worship, as far as
prehistoric facts can be ascertained,
was the sacrifice of the flrst-born child.
The substitution being adhered to by
the descendants Of that patriarch, there
came to be peculiar people, out of
which, with other causes more or less
occult, grew q nation of farmers instead

MANY persons who woull be open in
their opposition OF the Water-works
contract have been deferred by the idea
that there is no remedy; that the con-
tract is binding in all its monstrous ex-
actions. This belief WAS put forward by
the friends of the Company, which goes
so far as to publish false assertion that
| the courts of 1850 had finally settled the
matter. In yesterdays LIGHT 1t was
shown that the matter was never settled
by the courts, but pending action the
| Company confessed its weakness by of
fering compromise and the peoples
mis-representatives accepted the same,
thereby turning traitors to their trust
There is not the slightest doubt that
had the Mayor and City Council acted in
this matter us a man would act In his
own private business the case would
have reached its final issue on its merits.
There is an old musty legend that In a
republic the public officials are public

on every opportunity. That said suit
was not prosecuted in the interests Of
the people the LIGHT can and will show

tempted in the pending questions on the
