A PROPHECY.

Editor Representative:
Grover the sLupendouS, has disap-
peared into the abyss of innocuos des.
uetude, and Napoleon Mckinley Yields
the sceptre. A nation which has re-
Gently issued bonds in order to eplen a.
ish its treasury and who laughs at the
regal ceremonies of European poten-
tates has furnished means that the
champion of the gold standard and
his merry men may have royal blow
out at a time when hundreds OF thous-
ands Of his cOuntrymen were on the
verge of starvation.
Prosperity, which was to have ap-
peared when Mckinley was nominal ted
and whose arrival was postponed until
his election, and then until his inaug-
uration. is now ardently looked for. A
year hence we will be informed that
Hanna'S man was unable to give us
prosperity as soon as he expected; that
it will take time, that if we give him
the next Congress he will do some
thing for us; and then two years later
it will be the same old story. We will
be told that if we elect him again we
will surely get good old Republican
times. | believe that long ere anoth.

A NEW IDEA.
Editor Representative:

Editor Representatives:
l think it would be GOOD idea to
have tile new laws of Minnesota, for
1897. printed in pamphlet form, in
stead of,as they heretofore have been,
in newspaper form, which are very In.
convenient to handle, and thus very
few preserve them, as they undoubted-
" would, if printed in pamphlet form.
If a copy Of the laws, when distrib.
utcd, can't be preserved for future
use, as handy reference, why then, l
believe. the expense Of printing and
distributing same is Of no benefit to
the masses and hc1ce Of no value. I
therefore, recommend that our repre-
sentatires. now assembled at St. Paul.

As QUICK As THEY CAN
Divorces May Marry as Soon as
They Please.
THE OLD LAW ANNULLED
An Opinion by Chief Deputy County At
torney Connolly Given for the Guild
ance of the Clerk-A Rush of
Applicants Expected.

/ Divorced people in Butte and Silver
Bow county may hereafter get married
Just as quick as they can get chance
10 do So Heretofore the clerk of the
district court has enforced his under
standing of the law that divorced peo-
ple could not marry again within two
and three years and has always re-
fused to grant licenses to such parties.
Many persons went out of the state to
get married under those circumstances;
Others put off their marriage and in a
few cases of note the parties dispensed
with the marriage ceremony. Since sew
eral county attorneys and Attorney
General Nolan have given opinions that
the anti-marriage law was subsequently
repealed and is therefore of no effect
Hhe clerk of the court asked County
Attorney Stapleton what he should do
nbout it. Chief Deputy Connolly yes
Eerday looked up the law and made up
the following opinion which was trans
united to the clerk for his future guild
ance:
| tIn answer to your request for an
opinion regarding section 146 of the
civil code relating to the marriage or
narties within two years after divorce
obtained. / would say that in my opin-
ion this section has been repealed by
the legislature and is no longer in force.
This section has received the attention
mot only of the various county attor-
meys throughout the state. but also of
the attorney general, who has rendered
his opinion that ii is no longer in force.
The repeal of the section. though de-
fective in some respects, seems to come
within the puryiew of the opinion of
the supreme court lately rendered In
ithe case of the state ex rel. Ryan VS..
Brantley Section 146 itself seems TO
be nugatory and unconstitutional on
other grounds than those of it's express
repeal. but there is no longer any diff
ference of opinion as to its invalidity.'
In accordance with the opinion the
clerk will in future issue marriage Ii
censes to divorced parties and he ex-
poets a rush of such applicants.
