THE RABBI MARRIAGE LAW.

CONSIDERABLE inquiry has been
made of late concerning the fate OF
the bill before the state legislature,
empowering Rabbis of the Jewish
church to legally perform the mar
riage ceremony in this state. The
LIGHT is of the opinion that the bill
was passed and signed, but the
meagre reports published as to the
action of the legislature, have not af-
forded any means of accurately as
certaining what final action resulted.
1t is a little singular that in state
like Texas, where the Jews form so
large portion of the mercantile class
in all our cities, that their ministers
of religion have not been held legal
Iy authorized to marry members Of
their synagogues, under the statutory
enactments of the state. The COM
mon law construction would validate
such marriages, and thus prevent any
dire consequences as to legitimacy,
do PioPOioy e's~N
might arise, and grave injustices fol-
low. Because the Jewish Rabbi is
not held to be such, only as he holds
connection as the religious minister
of some synagogue, is no valid reason
why he should not be legally author
lied to perform the marriage cere-
mony for the people to whom he min
listers in all their holy things. AS
we'll might any other clergyman
be held incompetent to unite in mar
riage, unless the actual pastor of
some congregation. That many Jews
have felt this disability 20 such an
extent that a civil marriage has been
1esorted to before the magistrate,
prior to the solemnization by the
Rabbi, proves the necessity for COM
plete remedy by statutory enactment,
which the LIGHT is of opinion is now
provided by the recent act of the state
legislature.

THE general uperintendent of the
railway mail service is of opinion that
during the past few weeks the service
has been very materially strength
ened by the restoration to it of old
agents whose records for efficiency
stood high at the time they were re-
moved, and who will require but a
very little time to recover all their
lost ground and become as proficient
as before they left the service. About
one-fourth of the changes that have
been made in the route service have
been of this class, and now that the
civil service rules apply, only those
who can pass the examinations prop
erly can get places, while those who
show aptitude for correct work will
readily receive promotion. There is
no department of the public service
requires to be more carefully manned
than the railway mail service. On non
other does the business of the country
so much depend and the increased
efficiency of this service so much to be
desired will be accepted with thank
fulness all over the country. Let Mr..
Wannamaker give the public an eff
cient mail service en- route and in the
offices and the people at large will
care little or nothing for the size of
his bible class at Philadelphia, or the
style that the family put on in Wash
ington. Even the vital question of
how his brother advertises will be
lost sight of in the demonstration of a
railway mail service and local mail
service which for efficiency has no
rival. Mr.. Wannamaker is going to
give the country such service, and
the country says: Amen!

SENSATION is a good thing, partic-
ularly when it runs to seed, for then
it is at once its own antidOte and cure.
When a tenderfoot scribbler imagines
himself e.. a seasoned journalist. and
gets the itch for sensation, he scratch
es worse than the man with the seven
years variety. 1t was evidently one
of these callow cawers after immor-
tality, who probably mistook some
Mexican cowboy for Spanish hidal-
go of high degree, and ground out two
columns of anguish for the big Island
city daily, and waded knee-deep in
gore to satisfy his journalistic desire
for notoriety. If notoriety was what
he desired, he has got it bad. He is
in the soup, into it clear up to his
eyes. 1t was heavy dose his infor-
mant gave him, but he swallowed it
and gasped for more. All this be-
cause five Jesuit priests were arrested
and jailed in Mexico, the government
refused to regard them as martyrs,
and there was riot over their incar-
ceration and one man was shot.

THE city council, by refusing to
grant carrying corporations right-of-
way to the fair grounds, are laying up
for themselves a heavy reckoning
with the citizens of San Antonio.
There are over two hundred of our
business men who have taken stock
in that fair, and over two thousand of
our citizens are directly concerned in
its success. To bar the way to the
fair grounds, as the council is doing,
will bring disaster to the fair enter
prise this fall, and the members of the
common council who are responsible
tor this must prepare to meet that re-
sponsibility at the hands of an indig-
nant city.

A FAST DECAYING ORDER.
The Economita Society Talk of Raising
 the Ban Against Marriage.

BEAVER FALLS, Pa, Dec. 10.-For a long time the rule forbidding the mar riage of membe of the Economite So- ciety, who occupy a settlement near here, has been strictly enforced, and time has so reduced their number that the question of disposing of the many millions of treasure which the organi- zation has accumulated and of perpetu- ating the Society itself is becomin g daily more important.
 At the opening of the year dozen new members will be admitted to tn 0 Society. Several of them are married. About the same time the proposition to raise the ban so long placed upon the marriage rite will be considered.
 It is learned that majority of the present members favor the idea, and unless nothing occurs to alter their minds the change is expected to be made.
 The Society lives in the town of Economy, on the banks of the Ohio, and has become celebrated for the fru- gality of it's members, it's enormous wealth, fine farms, quaint homes and good citizens.

 CHARLESTON, w. Va., Dec. 10.--While MT. w. A. McCorkle, Democrat and prominent attorney, was talking to friend in the Hotel Ruffner, yesterday, about Jefferson Davis, H. $. White, United States Marshal, broke in and said Davis ought to be buried in the Potter's Field.
 MT. McCorkle made dignified reply expressing his opinion that Mir. Whites remark was insulting to the Southern people. as we'll as to himself. Receiving no apology, he struck Mir. White in the face, at the same time offering to give satisfaction for the atfront at any time and place MT. White might select.
 Friends interfered at this point and stopped the encounter, but it is thought probable that duel will result.
