A Marrow Escsp..

Last evening about bnlt.pnst ten
o'clock, an accident occurred at the
now hoisting works Of the independence
mine, by which three men narrowly es.
uaped with their lives. By some means
a box OF giant powder in tho shaft
house was ignitod. aud an explosion
took place that shook every building in
town. Strange to say. moi q single man
was hurt, though nil were standing
within o few feet OF the box. The en-
siro front Of the shaft hcuse was dss.
iroyed, and the only wonder in that
every man was not blown to atoms
fTmes. Review.
The weekly Elko independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 1872-1887, 1879-01-12
The UnIversity Matter.

The Reno journal OF recent date in an
article on school affairs says. 1--WE
learn the Board OF regents Of the State
University will report &c the next Leg.
iS!ature That some new step should be
taken with our University. So far it is
a failure. In spite OF the large sums OF
money expended on the school it has
mover been brought up to the standard
Of a New England Acadamy. We be.
lieyo this has not been so much the
fault of the teacher, as it has OF an un.
fortunate location, and hence this is the
opinion Of the Regents.
II the University is to be removed
from Elko, we suggest Reno as the best
place in tho State for its location"
We are what report the Board
Of Regents is going to make in reference
to the University. but rs for its having
been q failure, it cannot be denied that
il has accomplished all that could be
expected OF it. The Journal says, "in
spite OF the large amount Of money OK.
pended" Now the large mount OF
money that has been expended by the
State consists OF abc;Ii $1,000, expended
in building a dormitory, and IN add.
ton to that only just enough I o keep
tho building erected by Elko county in
repair, and pay the salary Of one teacher
and the u teacher employed has
always had as many pupils as he could
attend to.
The people OF Elko county have CT
pended $40. 600 in erecting a building
for the Preparatory Department Of the
University, in accordance with the law
locating il here, and that law specially
provides that tho location here is a
permanent one, aud in accordance wi Ia
that provision that tho people of this
county contributed their money for the
erection Of a building; and although n
few persons who have an interest in
locating IL somewhere else may ndvo,
cate removing it We have no idea that
the Legislature will commit the injus.
tice Of doing 40.

The decision of the United States So
prsmo Court in the Reynolds ~poiysamy
eAse which has a~nxiouslY been expected

The Mormon religion the Law iorbidjing
h Was in contravention of the Constitu-
zion Of the United States which ptovid-
81 that " Congress shall make no law
prohibiting the free exercise ofreligion."
Now, the fact that polygamy is un-
doubtedly a part Of the Mormon relig-
ion. and tho positive provision of the
Constitution above quoted was alculut-
ed to encourage the Mormons in the
Aopo that the decision would be in their
favor. There is no doubt but that the
decision given in favor Of the Constitu.
ality OF the law Is contrary to the letter
OF the Constitution. and it is equally
certain that tho povision OF that in
strument guaranteeing to all the free
exercise Of religion. is a wise and
proper one. but it is also certainly true
that there must be n limit to the eIer.
else OF religion. otherwise the entire
spirit of the Constitution is liable TO be
subvertcd, because history nbundantly
shows that there is no conceivable crime
that has not at some time been a part OF
some religion.
Itis rue that the fixing OF the limit,
between what may and what may not
be done in the exercise Of religion is u
delicate matter. but there is no doubt
that the decision against polygamy is n
wise one from tho Tact that unless it is
suppressed or ut least it's increase pre-

The dispatches state that the decision
expresses the unanimous opinion Of the
Supreme Judges.
