The St. Louis Republican OF Tuesday
says:-"So far as the effort of the Han
Dibal and st. Joseph people to take
their bond business into the United
States courts is concerned, it is consol-
ing to remember that the United States
supreme court almost always accepts
the decision of the state supreme courts
in questions involving the Interpretation
of state statutes or state constitutions"
We sincerely desire to see the fruition
OF the Republicans hopes in this in
stance, but, like other counties which
have township bonds, Lafayette county
has feared not to depend very much up
on the wise rule that the supreme court
Of the United States should follow the
decisions of the state supreme courts
regarding state laws.
