AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

A great deal has been said in recent years about the need of uniform laws between the various states concerning the main subjects of legislation, and particularly as to marriage and di- vorce. A decision of the supreme court, which was rendered last week, is calculated to hasten the time when some such uniformity will be attmpted. Not only does it suggest the need of concurrent laws to govern the mar riage relation, but it goes so far as to actually enforce uniform principle even as the laws now stand
 The decision referred to was in a case of a certain Mrs. Rigney, who was granted divorce with alimony by a New Jersey court. MT. Rigney re- moved into the state of New York and failed to comply with the terms of the decree. Both parties to the divorce had married again. MT. Rigney set up the defense to suit for the pay men5 of the alimony and the New York court decided in his favor The supreme court reverses this decision, passing the decree upon section 1, ar ticle ", of the constitution, which says that full faith and credit shall be given in each stare to the judicial proceedings of every other state."
 It will readily be seen that his de- eision reaches far beyond the mere payment of alimony. It assails the legality of every marriage no matter where contracted, in which either par ty has been divorced in any other state and forbidden again to marry. It has been common practice for people so divorced to go to some other state again to en:er married life in defiance of tn decree forbidding it, on the grounds that such decree was with out force outside the state in which it was granted.
 But the principle cited and ruled upon by the highest court in the land will be found to affees interests far be- yond the marriage relation, and will at once call attention to the great i'm portance of making the most earnest effort for qualification of many laws in the different states that shall at least have a common relationship in their execution, the first of all of which should be Q uniformity in llhe neces- sary grounds for application for di- vorce and the proceedings necessary to enter the courts for such purpose.

To South Carolina belongs the credit for proposing an anti-lynching law which may prove effective. The bill, which has passed one branch of the legislature, provides that in cases of lynching where death ensues, the county in which the affair took place shall be liable to exemplary damages in a sum not less than $2,OOO, to be re- covered in court by the legal repre- sentatives of the person lynched. This is going back to the old Saxon idea of money damages for blood guill:iness, but there is chance that such a law might be made to work, and if a few counties should be heavily fined, the popularity of lynching would suddenly decline. Therefore, it is a hundred times better law than one based on more advanced principles of juris- prudence which would remain a dead letter.

Tucson Citizen: Phoenix, said Hon. s. H. Drachman this morning, is in- deed a credit to the territory. Never in my life have I seen such an exam pie of what unanimous efforts on the part of wideawake, energetic citizens can do for city. The manner in which it is building up is wonderful and it does ones heart good to witness the many improvements The new Ford hotel, the Commercial and in fact all of the hotels in the city are crowded to their utmost capacity. A person desiring to obtain a room is compelled to await his turn and take just what he can get. The city is full of strangers and it seems to me that if the citizens of Tucson would only dis play that determination, pluck and en- ergy to be found in Phoenix, it could not fail to receive a large percentage of the many homeseekers coming to Arizona and soon become a city of which all might be proud

AT THE GRAND.

Last Performance of ROyle's Play
Miss yaileRu's First Appearance.
The Grand did a great business yes
terday, throngs of people being denied
admission to the matinee, when "One
Plus One Equals Three" was given its
eleventh and last rendition. and at the
evening performance, when The Run
away Wife was presented by the
stock company, headed by the new
leading lady, Miss Marie Valleau.
There was a very general curiosity to
see her and she was given a very
friendly greeting. OF course no verdict
can be rendered on an actress ability
from a single performance. The gen
eral feeling seemed to be that Miss
Valleau is an artist of experience, but
that she will shine better in roles
where she has more Juvenile parts to
sustain than that given her last even
ing Mr.. Wyngate made another hit
and Mr. Edwards was specially good
as the husband. A new child ACTRESS
brought from the east with Miss Val

others were, of course, good, without

display their ability. The Runaway

LADY SCOTS CASE.
Earl Russell Denies Several of the
Alterations


London, Nov. 26.-The trial of Lady
Scott was continued in the criminal
court today, with Earl Russell on the
witness stand. Counsel for Lady Scott
received a letter written by Lady Car
digan to Countess Russell, in which the
writer asked: do you know that Earl
Russell was expelled from oxford for
malpractice, and are YOU also aware
that ne was guilty of misconduct with
a Chinaman who was afterwards
shipped to China p
Earl Russell said he had employed a
Chinese boy, but there was not the
slightest foundation for the story of
witness misconduct with the lad. COun-
sellor Hall next examined Lord Russell
on behalf of the male defendants. The
earl said that Ion Thyme, who slept in
his (witnesS) cabin on board the yacht
could diSprove KaSt'S story, but he had
gone to South America, having sailed
about six weeks ago. Thyme had been
subpoenaed as a witness in this case,
but he could not delay his departure
for South America, as his child was i'll
and it was necessary that he should go
away at once. In continuation of the
cross examinatiOn, Earl Russell adj
mitted that MalOtt had slept in his
cabinet. Aylott was a notorious liar,
but witness had nevertheless given him
q good character when he left his
service. The whole of Aylott's state
ment, Earl Russell said. was one filthy
lie. None of the male defendants,
Lord Russell admitted. had ever at
tempted to blackmail him.
Sir Frank LOCKWOOD. for the prOsecu-
ton, re-eXamined Earl Russell who, in
answer to questions, said that Lady
Scott had not objected to the tone Of
the letters which he had written to her
Counsel proceeded 70 read a number of
letters written to Earl Russell by Lady
Scott, all of which were couched in
the most affectionate terms. after
which the trial was adjourned until
tomorrow.
