YoM KIpPUR.
NOW BEING CELEBRATED BY THE Is
REALITIES ALL OVER TIE
WORLD.

Yo,n Kippur, the Sabbath of Sab
baths" the highest festival in the He
brew religion, began at sunset last
night, and will terminate at the same
time tonight. AL the Jewish places
Of business are closed, and the propri !
etors and their families are attending
rigidly to their religions duties. Com
mencing on the eve of the tenth day
of the month of T',shri, the celebration
OF Yom Kippur is based apon 8 Moses
16, II, 81, 8 Moses %, and 4 Moses
80. 1t was held as day Of rest, a
kind of high Sabbath, the only day in
the year when the whole people fast
ed. The sefvice was peculiar. The
high priest, clothed in white linen
without ornaments, took a Young bull
and ram for himself and his house,
and two goats as sin Offering and
ram as burnt Offering for the people.
The goats were selected by lots, one
| for Jehovah and one for Azazel, to be
burdened with the sins of the people
and sent away into the wilderness.
The blood of the victims was taken
into the most holy place and sprlnkled
upon and before the mercy seat. The
scapegoat to be sent away was brought
forth and the high priest confessed
over his head his sins and those of the
people, and he was sent into the will
derness by trusty man. The bull
lock and the ram were not eaten, bnt
entirely burnt This was symbol OF
the great truth of the redemptory sys-
TEN 10y means of propitiation. Now
adays, no temple at Jerusalem exist
ing, tho sacrifices are discontinued,
but service is held in all places Of
worship on the eve of the day and the
day itself, from morning till night
No believer eats or drinks from the
evening before the end of tho day
most people remaining in the places o
worship all day 1t seems hardship
to do without food for twenty fou
hours, but with very rare exception
| everybody holds cut well-the OLE
, people remarkably so.
. The prayers are of course of a yer.
| fervent nature, evoking the mercy 0
!, God, forgiveness of sins, prayers for
: good season and long life; to heal tn
= lick, comfort the sufferers and to Pre-
: teet those governing the land; also
e confessions of sins, prayers Tor tn
e dead and sermons. Friend and 70
= forgive each other, the heart OF ma
II is to be purified and cleansed of a
d evil, and renovation is to set in,
II that whom evening comes and the ho1
'ee is blown, man has reconcilad himse
! to his God, and to nature, and as
better being he re-enters upon Il
journey of life. He has made atom
meut and feels blessed.

Very Important.

Very few of the readers of the DEM
ocRAT, perhaps, know that the recent
anti-lottery bill passed by Congress will
not in the least interfere with the issue
Of accepting the sl,250,0D0 annually
for twenty-five years, offered by the
Louisiana State Lottery Company, to
be used for schools, levees, public in
situations, drainage, etc, and which
vii be voted on at the next general
election. The anti-rottery advocates
would have it believed that such
would be the case.
For this particular reason we make
mention Of this most importan, fact.
The fight will be made as strongly
and vigorously as before. The best
informed seem willing to concede that
the measure is altogether unconstitu
iioDal, and only test case before The
! Courts Will have to be made when a
decision against the ants, or the doing
away with such law, will be made
Nor will the passage of this law inter-
fere in tire least with the business o!
the lottery company. The following
which we clip from the Times-Demo-
crut on that subject is appended;
The question of its constitutionality
will doubtless be tested in the Su
preme Court; but however that Court
may decide the bill will not have the
effect expected of it by its supporters.
The bill will prove thoroughly inef
fectual, except in injuring our mai
service. 1t will not seriously inter
,, fere with the business of the Lottery
Company, which has made arrange
, ments to meet it; and it will not at
feet in tue slightest degree, the con
test now going on in Louisiana owe
the lottery revenue proposition, which
/ will be carried on until the day il
1892 when the people of Louisiana
, will decide to accept the aid offered t.
their levees, schools, public institu
tons, drainage, etc.
On the same subject, in anothe
days issue, the same paper says:
The Senate yielded to popular ella
NOR, just as the House did, in the mai
ter Of the anti.lottery bill. There wa
no discussion of it, no inquiry into ii
effect, Notwithstanding the fact tia
: many of the newspapers which wer
o. most ardent in favor of the bill la
become Disguised with It and recos
nized the fact that it would severel
) lnjure our postal service by giving tn
/ Postmaster-G General dangerous contr'

course the President will sign the bi
as he is in full accord With those wi
l. framed and passed it, and it is prob
J. HE that as far as Congress and he a
! concerned, it will be law. The
remains one protection for the peop
. against this prying bill-the Unite
u States Supreme Court. The case W

MONETARY BILLS.
Senator Stewart and Representative
Bland Introduce New Bills.

Senator Stewart and Representative
Bland Introduce New Bills.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Senator Stewart
today introduced bill for the free and
unlimited use of silver as money. 1t
amends the fret section of the present
law, by repeating the clause limiting the
purchase of bullion, and requires the
secretary of the treasury to purchase all
the silver bullion offered, at price not
exceeding one dollar for 81 25 grains of
pure silver. 1t also amends the third
section by requiring the secretary to
coin at least two million ounces per
month after the first of July next, and
as much more as necessary to redeem
the treasury notes issued in the pur-
chase of bullion.
In the house Bland introduced a bill
requiring the secretary of the treasury
to prepare new series of treasury notes,
commonly called greenbacks, and issue
them in sums equal to the amount of
national bank notes, from time to time
surrendered for redemption or cancella-
ton.
Bland also introduced bill authoriz-
ing the issue of series of legal tender
notes to meet any deficiencies in the
revenues of the government. The pre-
amble to the bill recites that def
cheney in the revenues is now threat
ened, and the country is not in a condi-
ton to bear any further taxation.

LEGAL BUZZARDS
Fattening Off the Pensions of the Old
Soldiers.


WAsHINGToN, Dec. 4.-Secretarv Noble
has been paying considerable attention
lately to the subject of attorneys fees in
pension cases, and is formulating a plan
by which claimants for pensions notrep-
resented by attorneys may be placed
upon the same footing as those who are.
In speaking today of attorneys fees,
Secretary Noble expressed himself with
some warmth. The pension bureau, he
said, is now issuing between IA, 900 and
$1,000 certificates week. This means
that attorneys are receiving every week
out of the moneys appropriated to relieve
the necessities of the old soldiers, an
amount estimated at between $150,000
and $175,000. A large number of cases
have been adjusted under the old law,
which allowed a fee of $25. The new
law allows but $40, but even at this rate
the attorneys would realize $150,0OO a
week. 81 look over the lists of attor-
neys," added the secretary, "and find
many of them are men who, upon their
knowledge of the law, could not practice
before country justice OF the peace, but
here in Washington they manage in
few years to accumulate million dollars
or more, acting as attorneys for pension
claimants"
