Report of the Governor of Utah.

Caleb w West. governor of Utah, in his
annual report 10 the secretary of the Inter
lor estimates the population OF the terri
tory at 2l0, 200, an increase OF about $4,000
since 1880. The assessed taxable valuation
is stated TO be siG,379, 0s3. an increase of
about Sll 10000 during the year. The
manufacturing Industries OF the territory
are said TO be in a satisfactory condition,
and taken as whole the year has been a
progressive and prosperous one for Utah.
Owing To the unusually light rainfall dur
ing the growing season, dry farming has
not been success, but irrigated lands have
produced abundantly. The aggregate min
eral products of the territory for the calen-
dar year 1887, is given as 1861, 80, OF
watch S),91G,Si WAS silver.
Labor, the report says. has been in de
mard during the year. Carpenters receive
50 80 per day and are in strong demand.
Stonecutters, masons and bric6layers from
81 TO 81 30 per day, also in demand. Miners
from 50 10 ~ per day. Nearly all the other
trades are well paid and fully employed
In the course of his remarks upon the
Mormon question the governor says:
Nothing can justify the despotism of the
Mormon political system u people who
have known and appreciated the blessings
oil a Tree government. The unity
of the church and state is perfect and in
diSsoluble. 1t is based upon the complete
and absolute control of priesthood
welding supreme power, exercised and
yielded TO as emanating immcd atcly from
God in all things, secular as well as spirit
ual, the word Of the priesthood is 10 the
Mormon people the command or God not
only in matters of faith and morals, but in
| al civil, political and commercial affairs
The priesthood not only rules the church,
but governs the state
The governor says that he has no rclig
ious controversy with the Mormon people
with polygamy left out OF the question, but
he declares that the local civil government
under the Mormons is as theocratic as that
of the ancient Hebrews. Pending the set
Element of the question Of admitting Utah
into the union, the governor recommends
the appointment by congress of commit
tee with full authority TO make "A complete
and thorough investigation Of the civil as
well as religious conditions heretofore and
now prevailin in the territory Justice
10 the whole country the governor says, as
well as 10 the Mormon and non Mormon
people, requires such investigation TO be
made

An important Point Settled.

A decision of great importance at this
time was handed down by the supreme
court the other morning. IL was in the case
of Warren VS.. the board OF registration OF
the fourth precinct in the second ward of
the city of Detroit. The dec sion is as fol-
lows: The relator is a citizen of this state,
and has resided in Detro I for more than a
year past. He has regularly taken his
meals during all this time at the Antisdel
house. which is located in the fourth pre-
cnct in the second ward. He is not a house
holder and is unmarried. For several
months past he has had n room where he
lodges and sleeps and keeps his Office and
library, and which is located in the fifth
precinct OF the first ward. He possesses
all the qualifications Of legal voter in the
city and he applied to the registration
board in the fourth precinct OF the second
ward for regis ration and was refused for
the reason, as they claimed, tn I his resi-
dence was in the fifth precinct of the first
ward. He now applies 10 this court tor
writ Of mandamus requiring the board in
the fourth precinct in the second ward 10
register his name as an clcctor. The an
swer of the r. sponderts substantially adj
mits these facts. We think the board of
registration in he second ward was wrong
and tat for the purpose of registration
and voting the ele tor must be held as hav
ing his residence in the second ward. jus
tice Morse dissents, claiming that his res
idence is in the first ward.

The State Game Law.

Under the supreme court recent inter
probation of the state game law, game killed
in season can be kept for any length OF time
IN or out of season. The supreme court de-
cided that when an individual came lawfully
into possession OF any kind Of property, the
state legislature could not enact a law TAX
ing away that property without compensa
tion. The court also decided that game
from another state is not protected by this
act, and c, n be received and sold here, after
being killed at any season Of the year That
part of the law setting forth the season
when shooting is permissible, etc. was not
touched on a. all and is still in force.
In the upper peninsula there has been
much confusion as TO the ruling of the court,
some mistakenly believing that the whole
law was declared unconstitutional.

Of Canada, and the New York Central *
Hudson River railroad company, the inter
state commerce commission has dismissed

percentage Of a through rate between inter
mediate points on long hauls from the north
west TO seaboard or New England points,
or vice versa, was not fair standard of
comparison with the ra'es on freight orgi-
mating at and destined to such intermediate
points, and also that rates at Detroit are
relatively fair
