IT will be long time before senator's
are elected by popular vote, notwith-
standing dozen or more bills have
already been introduced in congress
this session providing for change.
To bring this about an
amendment to the federal
constitution is necessary. That
amendment must be proposed by con-
gress, passed and adopted by a two
thirds vote of each branch, and after
wards ratified by three-fourths of the
of the different states. 1t
is long road to follow.

UNIFORM DIVORCE LAWS

Nearly every day divorces are
granted by the courts of Ell Paso &c
married but minated couples. In fac,
in this and other cities-all cities, ii
may be written-the granting of divor-
ces is one of the principal and
most painful items of court news. 1t
seems to be far easier to get divorced
than to get married and the step taken
by Senator Kyle last week in intro
ducing an amendment to the constitu-
ton of the United States providing
shat congress, as the highest law
making power of, Christian nation,
shall have the exclusive power to re-
gulste marriages and divorce in the
several states and territories and the
District of Colum bis, will bring the
question before the country.
1t Is an evil not confined to cities by
any means.ElIn some counties in In
diana, for instance, the divorce bust
ness has become as great as all other
legal business com bined. In Madison
county's two courts there were eighty
two cases filed during Sc ptembe
of that number forty-two, or ore
over half, were for DIVORCE Through
out the hoosier state last year the
divorces numbered 1888, which was
one for each of seven marriages con-
tracted. This is worse showing |
than made for the previous year, |
when the average was but one in ten.
In Marion county, which includes In
dianspolis, the ratio Is one divorce to
every four marriages. The same
ratio is found in several other coua-
ties, in which no large cities are
situated. But in Fayette. quiet agri-
cultural community, there was but one
divorce, and in Ohio, Scott, Orange
audSwitzerlaud coun ties the records are
almost as clean. In only 269 of the
divorce cases was the scriptural rea.
son advanced, and in 225 cases drunk
euess was the only cause cited.
1t will be remembered that COM
mission was appointed by congress to
Investigate the statistics of divorce.
The occasion for this commission was
the rapid growth In the number of
divorces granted annus ally in the Unit
ed States, and the fact that in over IS
per cent of these cases a divorce was
followed by re-marriage of one Of the
parties within period of thirty days.
Such state of affairs is little better
than licensed concu biuage or bigamy.
A recent writer on the question has
well said that mo nation could long
harbor such an evil, and escape moral
gangrene and ultimate dissolution"
Hence it was decided to check the
divorce disease which threatened to
become epidemic. ~ t
After much honest work and careful t
the commission reported t
Ind recommended that the several q
,tates accept uniform divorce law. c

THE senate resolution for the ap-
pointment of congressional com nit
tee to receive the statue of Daniel
Webster, presented by Stilson
Hutchins and to be erected on Massa-
chusetts avenue, Washington, was
passed by the house of representatives
on Saturday. The statue will be re-
ceived on January Is, 1900, and will
add another striking monument to the
already large number in the capital
city.

"The only solution of the question:"
they said, "the only adequate remedy
for the evil. must come from the COM
mon consent of the states: from all OF
them, too, for the refusal of one would
defeat the purpose of all the others. A
national.law is out of the question. II
would, of necessity, ,be so broadly
drawn that its effect. practically, would
amount to nothing"
Senator Kyle does not think so. and
he is said to have large following in
the stand he has taken. There is no
sort OF questiou.as to the duty OF state
Legislatures in this matter, bu> nobody
who knows the 'contrariness of state
legislatures will for moment expect
them to reach in this gener lion an
Interstate agreement. Therefore, it
appears wise for congress to take the
matter under. consideration while it
has the gloves on for the Roberts box
ing m atch.
The discussion of this whole ques-
tion is valuable, as it contributes to-
wards educating the people all over
our land to .completer understanding
of how gre at the evil is and to an I'M
Outstanding of how much higher stand
ard is needed. Many of our pr esent
standards, be they acknowledged or
denied, are nevertheless very low, and
this question of marriage and divorce
is one of them where popular 'senti-
ment Is lax and inclined to shut its
eyes. 1t is q part of cur national creed
for every one to mind his own business
and let other people attend to theirs
and perhaps it is partly this that keeps
30 many from even thinking on this
question. 1t is hardly possible that
congress will ever establish uniform
and divorces law. AS we I'M
derstand congress in these days such
matters are out of its province. The
idea of our land is first to let man
his own affairs as far as pos
sible, for city to take up only such
for the state to take up only those mat
ters which affect the whole
state, and for the nation
TO interfere only in questions where
the national life ss whole is affected.
Il is said monarchy is really An ideal
form of government provided it only
have a perfect monarch. Perhaps a
national government that regulated
such intimate and personal phases of
the individual life as marriage, If it
regulated them according to the most
perfect possible laws, would be bene-
icisl, but unfortunately we are in a
very imperfect state of mind as yet and
not quite ready to let any congress,
even a perfect congress, manage our |
private affairs. The towns and states |
will have to take the matter up first, |
but it will be necessary for the happy |
end of all the discussion that the in
1ividuals of our land will have to
'ealize how terribly wrong is the easy |
livorce and careless marriage. When,
our land, there is settled |
that we can manage this
natter better, then will we have bet
er laws. Senator Kyle is doing his
,est in making a vehement protest
.gsinst this wrong In the world.

Some fine looking samples OF gold
ore were on view today at the Office
OF the Northern Light from the Burr
claims near Lewiston, which are located
about 30 miles from Rock Springs. The
samples. some OF which were literally
full Of free gold, We're brought 10 town

seems to have a solid body Of gold ex-
tending right through It, and shows

der the furnace test The gold is i'm
bedded In what appears like black
quartz, and cloeely resembles the rock
In which the free gold OF the famous
Mt. Morgan mine Of Australia. Is found.
The claims have been worked for some
time past. but the parties In charge at
the property say that only 80 per cent
Of the gold can be secured. With such
ore as that seen today, that means no
uncomfortable amount But there aD-
pears no good reason why much
greater Der cent cannot be obtained II

richness OF the ore ought apparently TO
