WHEN STATE LAWS CONFLICT

The decision of New York judge,
who refused to recognize the validity
of a divorce granted by the legal
authorities of another State, raises a
new question of constitutional law
Apparently by that decision, If sus-
tanned. the statutes of the different
States are likely to conflict in way
that would cause such litigation. lis
probable, if the New York decision be
not overruled, that the result will be
to strengthen the demand for ma
tional divorce law.
According to the recent New York
decision, for example, a man might
legally have wife in North Dakota,
York refusing to recognize the wife
in N. Dakota and the law of the latter
State refusing to recognize the wife in
New York. By such conflict of state
powers there would be new grounds
for an enormous mass of litigation.
Yet 1t is quite possible that the States
themselves would refuse to act, as has
been proposed by enacting common
divorce code.
In the absence of any federal pro-
visions regarding the extent to which
the divorce DEGREES granted in
one State shall operate in another, is
possible that judges in New York may
continue to refuse to regard the far
cical proceedings of the N. Dakota di-
vorce courts. 1t seems advisable,
however, to have the question of jur-
isdiction settled in some way, even if
the settlement leads to a constitution
al amendment providing for a COM
mon divorce law in all the States.

DEATH OF Mr.. HORR.

Hon. Roswell O.. Horn is dead. The
event has a local interest from the
fact that Mr.. Horn was born in
Waitsfield. He went West in his
childhood, but in later years upon the
stump, renewed his acquaintance
with his native State, and was i'm
mensely popular here, One of the
most effective campaign speeches
ever made in Montpelier was deliver
ed by Mr.. Horn in the vestry of the
Methodist church, in June, 1880.
None who heard that speech will
ever forget it. 1t was the opening
gun of the memorable canvass of
1880.
Mr.. Horn was then a representa-
tive in congress from the Saginaw
district in Michigan. He was con-
spicuous in the debates in the House,
and his speeches attracted wide
spread attention. His humor was
his greatest weapon of attack, and
before it went down men and meas
ures that provoked his opposition.
On one occasion "Sun Set" Cox of
New York, then the congressional
man of cap and bells, winged a shaft
of .ridicule against Mr.. Horn. The
man from Michigan, in his retort,
placed the New Y ork wit in light so
supremely ridiculous, that he lost his
wodted serenity of mind-a COM
posure that even Ben Butler could
~ i-%r1 ,-1
time to speak to his Michigan antag-
onist.
In every national canvass for
twenty years Mr.. Horn had been a
political factor. About five years ago
he joined the editorial staff of the
New York Tribune. He wrote, for
the most part, on the tariff and other
economic subjects. His articles were
widely read and were exceedingly in
structive. He was a man in close
touch and sympathy with the people,
and the people trusted in what he
said and wrote. At the opening of
the late canvass he stipulated with
the national republican committee
that he should speak not oftener than
three times week, but as the con-
test developed he was speaking every
day and often twice day. His health
had become somewhat broken and at
the close of the campaign the golden
cord had become SO loosened that it's |
strands refused to be reunited. Mr..
Horn was typical American, loving
his country and devoted to her in |
terests, and that country is the better
for his having lived and labored in
its behalf. His native State joins in
the sorrow his death will cause, and
pays his memory the tribute that is
its due.-Wdtchn1dn.
The people of this county who have
heard him both as a campaign speaker
and lecturer feel a personal grief in
mis- death. He spoke here two years
ago on the lecture platform.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-Gen. Joseph 7.
Terrence died at his home in this city
Of Bright's disease, with which he has
been ailing some time. His estate is
worth several million dollars Joseph
r. Terrence was born in Pennsylvania
So years ago. His career is an example
OF what self-made man can become.
Apprentced to blacksmith at an early
age, he was an assistant foreman when
II. The civil war breaking out he en-
listed in an Ohio volunteer regiment,
was wounded at Perryville and led the
party that captured Morgan, the guer.
rlla. His. title he owed to a subse-
quent period, when he was appointed
by Senator Chen governor) Cullom, to
command an Illinois militia regiment,
and distinguished himself in quelling
riots in 1877. After the war Gen.
Terrence took charge of the Chi
cago iron works and later became con-
nected with the Joliet Iron & Steel
Co. 1t would be useless to
enumerate the enterprises in which he
was interested, but his organization Of
the Chicago Elevated Terminal rail
way in 1891 cannot be overlooked. He
conceived the basic idea of the elevated
roads now in operation in this city
Among his gentler attributes may be
mentioned love for children.

shared the general feeling Of conf
