Another State.

The prospects seem favorable for
the admission Of Utah as State, the
movement having already assumed
a practical shape and form in both
Houses of Congress. The bill pro-
vides, among other things, that from
and after the admission Of Utah,
marriages shall be contracted accord
ing to the laws of the United States,
that marriage relations now existing
in that Territory shall not be distin-
guished, and for the Equalization Of
births of all children by parties guilty
Of polygamy.

to it.
This is conceded, by all fair-mind,
ed writer's on the subject, to be
Utah's golden opportunity for re-
gaining in a measure the control of
her local affairs. And, no doubt, the
people Of that Territory, when the
question is submitted TO them, will
decide in favor of the conditions
which this bill prescribes.

peared 10 recent number Of the

The people Of Lancaster, the
county seat OF the great county Of
Grant, are getting anxious for rail-
road connections, and the Herald and
Democrat have both had articles urg-
ing and setting forth the feasibility
of q railroad from Madison to Cass-
vile, on the Mississippi. The pro
posed route runs along the Military
Ridge in an almost direct line to the
Mississippi river passing Blue
Mounds, in Dane, and Dodgeville, in
Iowa county, and entering Grant
county in the town Of Wingville,
thence through Fennimore, Liberty,
Lancaster, and Beetown TO Cassvle
1t would run through well settled
region, rich in agricultural and min
eral resources and draw to Milwaukee
the trade Of the rich Turkey River
Valley in Iowa. The building of
such road is u consumation much
TO be desired its cost would be mod,
crate, its bu mess large.
