down an opinion reversing the decision

validity of the proposed issue The
point OF the opinion is chat the consti-
tuition trainers, in limiting to $500 900 a
debt which the legislature could con-
tract TO meet a definite revenue. We're
locking to the future and not TO the
debts already contracted for such pur
poses. Il adds that the constitution
trainers, who evidently were aware
that there was already contracted such
q debt which amounted 10 more than
S5Ce 000 and if they meant 70 include
that in the limitation the latter had
been already exceeded and they would
have been prohibiting the legislature
from doing a thing already done.

CANADIAN CRISIS
Every Reason to Believe One is Ap-
preaching.

New York. June PA dispatch from
Ottawa, Ont. to the Press says a po-
litical crises that may result in a rad
ical change in the constitution of Can
ada is imminent. The senate, among
a majority of whose members are Tory
derelicts of past federal and provincial
governments, has declined to ratify
certain contracts made by the present
Liberal ministry. The ministry have
put into the estimates items which
will enable them TO carry on the con-
tracts. Should the senate defeat them
an appeal to the people against the
senate will be inevitable. The senators
are appointees of former ministries
and hold offices for life.
Usually they have recognized the i'm
position and buried themselves with
hearing divorce suits, formally ap-
proved bills and attending receptions in
Rideau hall. The Canadian senate for
the first time has undertaken to Crap
pie with the house elected by the peo-
pie The outcome of the bill will be
watched with intense interest. for it
may be the beginning of the end of
the senate.

u. P. Makes Action.

Chicago. June 24.-The Union Pacific
notified it's Connections that all business
ticketed to Utah and Colorado points
at reduced rates adopted on account of
the Christian Endeavor convention in
San Francisco must be turned over to
il at the Missouri river as it will not
accept the business at any other juno
ton point on its lines. The announce
ment means that it is determined to
have the long haul on all the business
that may be going to those points. but
as nearly all the points in Utah and
Colorado to which excursionists would
care 10 go are common points, the
other roads say there is not much
likelihood of the Union Pacific getting
much additional business on account of
the action il has taken.
