Evening journal., 1891-04-18

For three days theY were single by virtus
OF law, and either or 10th Of them could
have married again within that time.
That was question that worried
Lemuol; that gretified Mahala; that non
plussed the lawyers; and was ANYTHING
but satisfactorily answered.
"Lemuel wressled with this doubt for
two years and came up smilingly with
another bill this session. His wife and
her father had agreed not to contest the
bill II be would pay to his wife or his ex
wife the sum Of $3.50. Papers we're
drawn to this effect and the bill went
Through the House all right.
When 1t was brought up in the Senate
to- day Messrs Williams and Hall said
the General Assembly could divorce but
could not remarry those divorcad. To
settle the doubt, however, the bill was
put TO vote and passed
Is MIR. Williams Rightf
Senator Williams said thing or two
to Gay while conversing With the EVEN
| ING JOURNAL correspondent on the Chip
man game bill, that are well worth con-
siderlng. During the conversation he
said
"The Chipman bill Is good one, and |
think | shall vote for it. But / have
been revolving a question in my mind In
relation to it or other game laws that
restrict game from being shipped to
points outside the state Is it not an
Infringement on Interstate commerce
and the constitutional rights of citizens
Of other staiesl IL restricts the non
resident from doing what a resident can
do Il allows a nonresident to ship
commodity into the state that he cannot
ship out Of the state, and that too,
commodity Of merchandise It Is an
understood constitutional privilege OF our
country thar man can 90 from one state |
to another and rightfullY exercise al the |
privileges Of citizenship but that OF the |
elective franchise. Game killed Is r |
marketable commodity, and | think the |
non resident bas the right to ship II as
such. However, that Is a matter for this |
courts to decide"
Equalization of Taxation.
IL Is safe TO assert that the Fulton bin |
for the equalization OF taxation will not
pass, despite the memorials OF Farmers
Alliances, Farmers Institutes and State
Oranges It's own extanslveness Is what
will kill It There have been amend
ments already attached to 1t that are as
long as the Ridgley tax bill. The House
will never pass bin that will put a re-
spitatory meter on a mans mouth and
make him pay tax on every foot Of air
be breathes. II leaves reason and goes
TO extremes
The Ridgey bill, which is In effect il
passed would be re enactment of tho
5ax law Of 1875 will have 10 make many
more friends than II now has IL It passes
both houses. The unwilllngness Of the
donse committee to take the responsible
ny Of reporting 1t, shows that there Is
Niger in the wood pile and they
will leave II to the House as COMMITTEES
If the whole to chase il out Mr.. RideeIy
axes the report without accommodation
'ery coolly, and says for the House to go
ahead and dispose Of the bill as 1t thinks
BEST

Commissioners bill for New Castle
