EXPLOSION FOLLOWED BY FIRF

There was terrific explosion at the
Eureka planning mills in Meridian
Thursday, and fire resulted in loss
to the company of about $1,000
Shavings caught fire, and the blaze
communicated to the boiler room,
driving the workmen out and it was
impossible to give attention to the
accumulating steam. The huge
boiler exploded and a portion of it was
shot into the air and fell hundred
feet away, but no one was injured.
The escape of the workmen was
miraculous. The loss is partially
covered by insurance.

This paper is in receipt OF a communi-

trial occurred yesterday at that place,
on the charge OF having stolen hides in

says:

JOHN MARSHALL.

Yesterday was celebrated in hun
dreds of cities and towns of the
United States the centennial anni-
versary Of John Marshall to the
cbiefjusticeship. Though few men
have left a deeper impression on
the nations history. the general
public has but little idea of the
scope and lasting effect of his in>
fluence.
In politics he was an opponent OF
Jefferson and an upholder of Wash>
ington and Hamilton. AS a judge
he held an even course as bewteen
the extreme democratic tendencies
of Jefferson and the aristocratic
leanings of Hamilton. At the time
he became head Of the supreme
court the American scheme OF
government was still in an experts
mental stage. 1t was being bitterly
assailed on all sides. Many OF the
larger states felt that they had made
too great concessions Of power to
the federal government. Such was
the sentiment in these commons
wealths that the failure of the
federal plan would not have been
unwelcome.

UNIFORM DIVORCE LAWS.

The Colorado senate has dispos>
ed of Senator Stewards bill provid>
ing for Uniform divorce laws, by
reporting that it was unnecessary
legislation"
Notwithstanding the fact that
this question more than any other
sociological question, is now being
discussed throughout the country,
the Colorado senate in its wisdom,
declares this bill to be quite un>
necessary and undesirable. And
yet despite this august opinion the
bill is as important as any OF its
class which will come before the
general assembly. One of the cry
ing evils Of this day and generation
is the ease with which this contract
entered into for life, is broken or
abrogated by one Of the parties
thereto.
The result of it all is that the
sacredness of the marriage relation
is made mere mockery, and the
tie which ought to bind as tightly
as bands of steel, has become a
mere rope of sand. Courts,
whether willingly or unwillingly,
are made the effective instruments
for disolving marriage ties upon
the flimsiest sort Of pretexts. Under
this condition OF things it is little
wonder that many of the most seri
Gus minded persons in this country
have been giving their attention to
the divorce evil, to the end that the
marriage relation should not be
entered into lightly, and second,
having been entered into, it should
not be Dissolved for any but the
RIdVcSt Ol IcdSOilS.
One Of the best ways of checking
the evil is by having uniform sys-
TEN of divorce laws SO that those
upon whom matrimonial ties rest
heavily might not easily and safely
go from one state to another and
thus obtain divorce. Indeed, SO
lax have been these laws in some
states, (Which has evidently sought
the company Of divorces for the
money which they may distribute
in the community, that it has be-
come the national scandal.
The attention to such a serious
matter as this could hardly be ex>
pected from some statesmen who
believe their highest duty to be the
placing OF some friend in public
office or the building Of bridge
across some sand creek in which
the water never runs.-Colorado
