THE CELEBRATION OF MARRIAGE.


A bill was passed by the Twenty first
legislature comforting upon Jewish rabbits
the authority to celebrate the rites of mat
rimony. 1t was then enrolled and signe d
by the president of the senate and the
speaker of the house, and approved by the
governor. An examination of the bill
now on file in the office. OF the secretary
of state shows that the enrolling clerk
omitted the enacting clause, and though it
is published among the acts of the
Twenty first Legislature 1t is void and of no
effect in consequence of this error. An
examination of article 1888 of the Revised
Statutes, together with Webster's defni-
ton of a minister of the gospel, renders it
doubtful il any new act Of the
legislature is necessary on the subject.
The Revised Statutes say "all regularly Ii
censed or ordained ministers of the gos-
pei are authorized to celebrate the rites Of
matrimony;" Webster defines minister"
to be one who performs Service in any
Office, whether sacred or secular" and
gospel" to mean "any system of religious
truth or doctrine" In view of these facts
do not rabbis already possess the author
ity to solemnize the rites of matrimony,
sought to be conferred upon them by the
Twenty first legislatureY

GOVERNOR TuAYER'S VISIT.

The presence of the distinguished gov
ernor of Nebraska in our state at this par
ticulsr time is an event of more than or
binary significance. He is representa-
tive of the great aud growing northwest a
section that has so many ties of kindred
interest with the Lone Star state.
He is one Of the leaders in the deep
water movement-he prominent advocate
of port on the coast of Texas, which shall
serve for the enterport of the commerce
of the new west independently OF New Or
leans, or New York, or San Frsncisco-a
port that will put that part of the United
States west of the Mississippi
in direct communication with the growing
commerce OF the West Indies and of
South America, and when the Nicsrsguan
canal is finished, also with the prodigious
trade of China and japan and the riches
of Polynesia. Again, Governor Thsyer is
known TO be the close personal as we'll as

The Galveston News does not tax e
kindly to the suggestion that Congress-
man Mills should be made governor, land in
Inmates that as Governor Ross has made a
good governor he might with propriety
be elected to third term. That Governor
Ross has made an excellent executive and
one of the most popular Texas has ever
had there can be no question; but, the
News well knows, third term would be
violating one of the unwritten laws of
Texas democracy. Governor Ross has en-
joyed all the honors that can be derived
from the governorship. Colonel Mills
has had about all the honors q seat in the
lower branch OF congress can
give. Governor Ross is able and
popular, and would make a
q good congressman. Colonel Mills is said
to possess fine executive ability, and don't
you think he would like to be governor?-
swell, rather" OF course Governor Ross
would care but little for a single term in
congress, but at the expiration of that
term he can then stand for the seat in the
United States senate now occupied by
Judge Reagan. If Colonel Mills sucoe eds
Governor Ross in the executive chair, of
course party usage would give him a
second term, which would expire about
the time the present term of Senator Coke
draws to a close; a new senator would have
to be chosen, and who will question that
four years as governor and ten or fifteen
years in congress would not make Colonel
Mills an imposing figure in the senatorial
contestp

nolitical friend of President Harrison,
which might make his visit one of politi-
cal significance. Governor Thsyer Is the
first northern governor, the first man at
the head OF any of the northwestern state
governments, who has visited Texas since
the war, and the people of Texas may
congratulate themselves on so happy an
omen of the establishment of good will
and harmony between the south and the
great northwest between Nebraska and
Texas, both of which are new states, and
each growing in wealth, population and
power.
That he will carry back with him to his
home knowledge of our state and people
very different from the opinion
of us entertained by the peo-
pie of his state might well be
taken for granted, even had he not ON
every occasion, when permissible, ex-
pressed in unmeasured terms his gratitied
surprise created by realization of our
true greatness and marvellous resources,
and his rejoicing with us over the glorious
prospects OF the state. Texas has warm
friend in Governor Thayer who will, we
are assured, leave no opportunity unim-
proved to tell his people and Others OF the
north the golden lesson he has learned IN
a journey through the Lone Star state.

THE United States government has pro

TEXAS has a st aunch friend in the st.
Louis Republic 1t has, scattered all
over the state, very able corps of CORE
spondents, and is constantly full of news
touching our state, that is good advertis-
ing for us and attracts the attention of
homeseekers and capitalists our way. In
its Thursday morning edition it had six
column account OF the opening of the
Fort Worth Spring Palace, fuller &C.
count of that event than any paper in
Texas, excepting Fort Worth's home
paper, the Gazette. And comment
ing on that monument of Texas agricul-
tural grandeur it has this editorial, which
with the venom extracted that exists in al
its utterances for its hated local rival, still
contains very much that should be re-
lected upon:
The idea of the exhibition is an original
one, and it has been carried out on grand
scale, exhibiting the beautiful as well as
the useful. In spite of the ISLANDERS of
the Globe-Democrat and papers OF its
class, Texas has thriven steadily, and such
great undertakings as this, carried to sue
cess as this has been, are signal refuta-
ton of the falsehood 50 long and so ma
lioiously directed against the state. 1t
ought to convince such papers that they
are gnawing file in working against the
advancement of the southwest. Even II
it is the official organ of the radical gang
that denounced Texas as the home of a
"shpt gun and raw hide democracy" the
Globe Democrat ought to be moved to
apologize for its ISLANDERS by such mani
festations of the real truth about Texas as
are now to be seen in the Spring Palace.

Paris, May 21.-President Carnot to-

credentials. In his remarks, Reid as
sured President Carnot that he would
endeavor to maintain and stimulate the
esteem which President Harrison and all
the American people held for France

''to represent America here when France
is celebrating a centenary as important
as the centenary lately celebrated in
America.
"We do not forget that you helped in
the success of our revolution. This in.
creases our interest in the magnificent
display of the arts of peace with which
you nobly crown your centenary.

old friendship of the two republics, which

President Carnot, in reply to Reid's
remarks, said he had received with

clared, would find that the French Gov

California Fruit Union.

SACRAMENTO, May 21.-A meeting oil
the Directors of the California Fruit
Union was held this morning. 1t had
been rumored that there was likely 10 be
trouble because of an alleged desire on
: the part OF Porter Bros. q Co., the Chi
scago agents of the Fruit Union. to act
also as auctioneers, and employ simply a
'crier. This, it was claimed, would drive
away many of the bidders, who could
not feel assured that they would have an
equal chance with Porter Bros, who
would then be, at the same time, agents,
auctioneers and purchasers of fruit. If
any such idea was contemplated it was
abandoned before the meeting, for Lewis
& Adams, an established firm of Chicago
auctioneers, were chosen to act for the
Onion. This was simply a matter of
formality, however, for, under the con-
tract made, Washington Porter claimed,
and has been conceded, the right to
choose the auctioneer, and Lewis &
Adams was his choice.

After being received by the Empress,
King Humbert and the Prince of Naples

their use in the castle. Later they Wis

LONDON, May 2l.-The British steamer
German Emperor ran into the British
steamer Beresford, yesterday morning,
while the latter was at anchor on Good
win Sands. The German Emperor sank
instantly. Boats were launched from the
Beresford, and rescued three persons
from the German Emperor. The Beres-
ford's boats stove, and she disappeared
in the fog. For while her fate was
unknown, but it is now learned she is
proceeding to Gravesend. Nine persons
on board the German Emperor took to a
small boat, and landed at Dover. Never
theless, it is thought thirty persisted.
LATER-The survivors who reached
Dover gave an exaggerated report of the
loss of life. 1t is now known the loss
was not as great as at first reported.
The Beresford arrived at Gravesend
with twelve of the crew of the German
Emperor. None of those on board the
Beresford were lost. Six belonging to
German Emperor are missing.
