Local Option Law Unconstitutional.

LANSING, MICH, May 1s.-The Supreme
Court has unanimously declared the local
option law unconstitutional. The ground
upon which this decision is reached is very
simple, viz: The law is direct violation
of Article a. section 90, of the constitution.
The article OF the constitution violated
provides that no law shall embrace more
than one object, which shall be embodied
in its title. The local option lawi is entitled
IAN act to regulate the manufacture and
sale of liquor" which is not at all what the
law is for.

OF all the deaths from poison in

average foot lower this year than
last, and last year, the average was
siN-tenths of n foot lower than in 1886.

shoot for nine years and then an up-
shoot for the same period. We now
