THERE Is somcthing radically wrong with
,hc marital laws Of the country. A marriage
,ha. is valid where it Is celebrated, is valid
all over the world. bu, divorce that is valid
in the United States, or that is granted in the
United States, Is not valid in Canada. Two
decisions have been rendered to this effect in
the courts Of Canada. Therefore, If person
who has been divorced in tl.c United States
aud rcmarrics here again, should become a
resident of Canada, what would he he guilty
Of? Would IL he bignmyg But the second
marriage was celebrated in this country rs

rather an intricate problem. The first wife,
iiniing her husband living with legal wife
No. . In Canada, could have the gentleman
arrested for bigamy, but wife No. could
not be punished, because she is his legal
wife. and if she is his legal wife, then he is
her legal husband, and therefore he could
not be punished, although he could. You

SENATOR INNS paper in the NortL

SENATOR IiiLL's paper in .hc NORTH
imcrieH RccicH may be very briefly con.
densed. His position is simply this; The
demonstration of silver makes gold the main
money metal. There is not enough gold to
allow it Ia sustain this position. The appre.
r!atlon Of gold under the circumstances,
forrcs general rise in prices. The use Of
silver Is money metal Is the only agent
which can prcvcn, this rise. The dcmonct.
lation of silver has been unfortunate because
it has forced the appreciation of gold and
closed the door which might neutraliSe the
fictitious advance Of gold and the fictitious
depreciation Of silver. To prevent this the
metals should be restored to their legitimate
relations
