Iowa Registration Law Declared
unconetltutional:

Judge stoneman. OF the superior court
at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, declaredthe registry
law unconstitutional. The registry law was
passed by the last legislature and was
somewhat similar to the one governing the
REGISTRATION OF voters in Illinois. The case
was one brought by Col Clark VI. the cleo.
ton Judge Of the Fifth ward OF that city,
who was refused the privilege OF voting on
election day, he not having registered. Tho
complainant averred that during the time
when under the law he might otherwise
have become registered he was necessarily
absent Mt Dcs Moines in attendance upon
the United States Circuit Court in which he
was practicing attorney. The defendant
demurred to the plaintiffs petition. The
demurrer raised the question Of the consti-
tutionnlity OF the registry act. The decis-
ion OF unconstitutionality which was rem
dercd, was based upon Massachusetts

and similar cases in Pennsylvania. Ohio,

The Great Southern Boom.

The ManufaSt"ro:s' H.a.n.d OF Baltimore
publishes its annual rovicw OF the indus.
trial growth OF tho South for 1887. which
it says was in many rcapccts tho most re-.
markable year in the history OF that sec.
tion, as moro was accomplished for the
progress and prosperity oi the whole South
than over before in the same length OF
time. There is scarcely single line of
manufacturing or mining business in
which tho number OF new enterprises re-.
ported during 1887 is not more than twice
as largo us in 1856. OF the fourteen South
crn states there are only four in which the
capital invested in new enterprises is not
double the amount invested last year. In
cotton manufacturing there has been great
activity, and seventy-seven new mills have
been projected, which is the largest num-
her OF new mills ever reported in one year.
The industries Of tho South are being
greatly diversified, rs well as increased.
This year tho amount OF capital employed
is $3.50, 29S 900, against $l29, 22G, 900 in
1856.
