Marriage as a Civil Contract.

The law has long regarded marriage as
civil contract. and in most States all religious
features have been eliminated as far as it is
within the power Of the law to do so. Clergy
men have been made. as it were, special mag
istrates for the single purpose of solemnizing
marriages. One of the most liberal" of the
States in this respect is Oregon, whose stat
utes merely require that the parties shall
consent in the presence of minister, priest
or any judicial officer" and at least two wit
hesscs. to live together in the estate of matri-
mOny. In the interesting case of Mrs. Lake
and Mr.. Peck. which has Just been decided by
Judge Staples in this city, the two contract
ing parties. while IN Oregon. simply made
written contract and signed 1t. agreeing TO
live together as man and wife. But the con-
tract was 10 be terminated by either party on
one months notice. Now this would have been
a perfectly proper and valid civil contract
had the subject been any other than matrimo-
NAL. Judge Staples, however, after an ex-
haustiye consideration Of the case, decides
that it was not valid, and that no marriage
ever existed between Mr.. Peck and Mrs.
Lake. Is it not clear that, in spite of the
declaration that marriage is simply civil con-
tract, the law does in fact regard 1t az some
thing else? A civil contract does not require
TO be entered into in the presence OF min
ister priest or any judicial officer" and a
marriage does. civil contract does not usu-
ally require witnesses, and marriage does.
civil contract may be set aside at any time
by mutual consent of the contracting parties,
and marriage cannot. Clearly the law IS
inconsistent in this matter. While declaring
that marriage is only civil contract, it does
in fact recognize it's religious naturalization

"a yindication of Aluminium"

President Hunt, of the Pittsburg Reduc-
ton Company, commenting on an article rela-
tive TO the value and uses of aluminium, to
which attention was called in the Times re-
cently-the article being by an eastern
chemist and published in a New York paper
says that pure aluminium can be soldered, and
that in the hands of those acquainted with 1t,
is one of the easiest metals TO work. 1t does
not tarnish. and that it will stand salt water
is proved by the use Of it in cooking utensils.
The chemist said that weight for weight
aluminium is not as strong as iron, and Mr..
Hunt replies with these figures: The tensile
strength of aluminium sheet is,
say 10000 pounds per square inch;
it often runs to 10000. A sheet
of iron weighs 2. 9 times as much as alumni
mum. Therefore, weight for weight, alumni
nun would be $4,000 pounds per square inch,
as against average iron sheet 48 900 to $4,000
pounds per square inch. That aluminium will
not blackeD the hand IS evidenced by the fact
that for twenty years the finest opera glasses
have been made of it. He adds: Give alumni
mum q chance 1t has taken hundreds of
wears to develop the trade in copper brass
and iron which we have to-day. Aluminium
was never produced commercially until forty
years ago. and then at a price much higher
than silver" When it is made on larger
scale it will be at q smaller cOst.-Pittsburg

Indecent Advertising.

Apublisher of a paper who is man of
honor and self-respect. in the true
sense Of the word, will not stoop to
accept questionable advertising, no
matter how profitable ii may I've.
Publications which run such stuff
should lie avoided by decent people,
and the patronage of respectable adver-
tisers should DO denied them.
There is Kernel of truth in the
above item from the CHA lstone Delta.
We notice many OF our otherwise clean
exchanges are too lax about the charac-
ter Of their advertising. No editor
should accept advertising matter that
he would blush to have read in his own
family circle, if he is 30 fortunate as to
have one. 1t is not good policy, either,
from business standpoint. The
acceptance OF such advertising lessons
the value of the paper as medium
for reputable advertising. What
respectable adverti or but ahors having
his announcement appear in iuxtaposi-
ton to the filthy trash that unfortunate
ly finds too much publicity? A news.
paper reform in this respect would
prove wholesome.

THE Bessemcr Pick a. Axe, OF last
week, takes exceptions to the SENTINEI's
editorial concerning the proposed new
Judicial circuit, and because we ma 10 a
mistake in stating the number of terms
Of court held in Gogebic county, tries
to make out that we were as wide of
the facts in our estimate OH the other
counties of the circuit While we did
not have the official figures before MS
when writing up the article referred to,
and while the nunber of terms held in
Gogebic county may have been four in
stead of three, and the average number
OF days of court held was forty-si in
stead of thirty, as stated by MS, the Pick
& Axe does not attempt to show, and
could not II it did, that our figures were
materially wrong upon any other
county in the circuit. The average num-
Der Of days court was held in Gogebic
county, during the past three years WINS
fcrty-six instead of thirty MS stated by
us. According to the assertions OF the
advocates of the bill, Gogebic county
has more litigation than any other
county in the circuit. Our estimate of
forty days for Houghton county could
not, therefore, have been materially
wrong, and for the other counties we
made liberal allowance. II the Pick
& Axe could make out case it had
better get the official figures from each
county IL our estimate was materially
out Of the way. But that would not
serve the purpose Of that paper. 1t
hopes to succeed by assertions, not by
facts, which are susceptible Of proof.
The remonstrance AYERS that the circuit
court was not in session more than 100
days, during the year, in the entire dis
trict. Does the Pick & Axe deny that
fact? We would further enlighten
Simpson OF the fact that the remon-
STRANGE against the formation Of the
new circuit is not our petition at all;

are not going over there to help ont the
Macdonald party to any great extent,
and il annexation does not get big

hardly be attributed to the fact that

The passage by congress ofan appro-
priation to pay the so-caled French
spOliation claims was an act Of tardy
justice that will he appreciated by the
heirs of the deceased claimants, who,
for long, Weary years, asked congress
in vain for the money, TINT was due
them. Something like century ngo
the French destroyed some American
merchant vessels. The United States
demanded, on behalf of its injured
citizens, indemnity for the destroyed
property. France paid the indemnity
demanded, and the United st ties gov.
eminent, instead OF turning the money
over to those to whom it riohtfully be.
longed, appropriated it to its own Use
q piece OF official embezzlement that has
no parallel in the annals of any civillz-
cd country. Every congress since that
time has been importuned to pay the
lawful claimants what was justly due
them, but in vain. The original claim
ants have long since passed away and
their rights have been transferred to
spectators or decended to their heirs.
But no matter who hold the claims the
government owes the money and should
pay it. j. q. Barnard, former resid-
emit of tins c,upty, is an heir to one Of
the claimants, and will come in for
about $4,000 Of the money.
