REPUBLICANS of the country can take

ceiving delegations. He suggests that

OTTAWA, Ont, November 9.-Smith, Ly-
man and Taylor, three members of the
Mormon church, are here. They represent
the Mormon colony at Lees creek in the
northwest territory, and come to Ottawa
on business with the interior department..
The three delegates are desirous OF secur-
ing a town site at Lees creek. The colony
consists of 125 people. Other religions
are not excluded from it. The business OF
the colony Is that of combined ranching
and farming, but on a large scale. The
delegates say the settlement in the north
west is an inception of a movement to
transfer the entire Mormon church to the
protection of the British flag.

CHICAGO, November 9.-Judge Shepard
to-day granted Mrs. M. j. Rawson a decree
OF divorce by default, her husband, Banker
Stephen W. Rawson, failing to appear.
This seems to have followed as the result
OF an agreement between the litigants by
which it is said Mrs. Rawson is to receive
$4,000.
The cas- has attracted much attention
owing to the prominence OF both parties
interested. Extraordinary allegations
were made On both sides. The shooting by
Mrs. Rawson's son OF Banker Rawson at
the door of the church, ONT Sunday morn
ing, and also the shooting by Mrs. Rawson
OF her husbands attorney in the court
room, were incidents connected with the
domestic life OF these two people.

Townships and Railroads..

The decision Of Judge Norton. in
the Ggeenvilic and Port ROYAL rail.
road case, referred to last week, does
not eliscct the bombs issued by a coun.
ty in aid Of railroads, but ONLY the
bonis issued BY the townships which
subscribed to this particular road.
Sullivan Township. in this county
subscribed to this road. and inasnuch
rs one end OF the line has at present
little assurance Of the benefits of a
railroad in any reasonable time, the
taxpayers will look forward to the
result ofthis case with considerable
interest. judge Norton decides that
these bonds are invalid, and that the
Interest paid by the taxpayers must
be refunded. lie denies the power of
townships to subscribe TO railroads on
two grounds: First, because a town.
ship not being a corporate body, the
Act charterinC the Greenville and
Port Royal Railroad and amendatory
Acts chartering the road as q body
corporate, attempts to make a sole
power and for the sole purpose ofen.
abling it to subscribe to the stock of
another corporation, the railroad. This
he holds, violates Article 2, Section 20
OF the Constitution, that every Act
or resolution having the force of law
shall relate to but one subject, and
that shall be expressed in the title"
Second, were this point successfully
controverted the Act would still be
obnoxious to Article g., Section s of
the State Constitution. Within the
meaning of this provision Ninety.Six
is not q township and the purpose as
to its subscription to the railroad, is
not n corporate purpose within the
meaning of the provision. The two
Acts, so far rs they authorize a sub
scription by townships to the railroad
in question, and so far as they pur-
port to incorporate any township or
townships, are declared to be uncon.
stitutional and void and taxes levied
such Acts are illegal,

some Fal1acicS.

Within the last quarter OF q century
the minds of inventive geniuses have
turned towards improving agricultural
implements; and tools of this kind
have been made which greatly reduce
the Labor ce4ujreiin c%ultivating q crop.
Periodically, as these improvements
are given to the public, we find those
who become alarmed. and insist that
laborers will suffer in consequence.
But as often, this proves TO be evrone.
Gus. Improved agricultural imple.
ments do not deprive laborers of en-.
ployment, but m the contrary, enable
them t6 do more work, and produce
more.
The same rule obtains in other lines.
When the first t~ype:set.ing machine
was placed in a olBce OF the New
York paper, the printers of the
United States were ready to abandon
the trade. The Printers Union at
once denied its use. and forbade
members working in the Office. Time
proved. however, that while Il ma
chine could do the work Of several
men, offices using them employed the
same number Of hands, and the result
was an increase in business. Hence
