THE NEW PROBATE COURT.

CHICAGO, july 21.-e' Is tho Probate Court net
constitutionat!' This question appears in the
Legal Ne,us over a communication sigued by q
member Of the Chicago har. That gentleman
says: ''The new Probate Court oct is limited to
Cook County. Is it not then repugnant to the
Constitution as alocal or special law?''
This Is OF very great importance to the good
people OF Cook County, by whom a Probate
Judge and Clerk are soon to be elected. This
act provides Probate Court in each county
that contains more than l00, 600 inhabitants. At
present Cook County Is the ouly county to
which this Law applies.
The publication, in the Legal Ners of June 80,
Of the decision Of the Supreme Court in the case
OF Derine against Board Of Commissioners Of
Cook County, seems to have raised this cues
tlon whether Tue new Probate Court art is con-
sttutional. In that case, IN act authorizing
Commissioners Of counties containing over
100000 inhabitants to issue bonds for the crec-
tion Of Court House and for other purposes,
WAS held by all the Judges to be applicable, by
its terms, to Cook County only and to be q local
or special net.
Amajority Of the Judges decided that it was
pressiy prohibited by the Constitution of 1870,
ART. !, Sec. 2, which says: 1.-THE General As
sen1bly shall not pass local Or special laws in
nny ot the following enumerated cases." More
than twenty cases are enumerated, and, among
them, are expressly named local and special
acts Regulating county affairs"
According TO this decision, the new Probate
Court act is local or special net. But it docs
not appear to be repuguant to this section Of
the Constitution, because it is not one Of the
cases which are expressly pro-
hibitcd.
Another and later clause Of the Constitution
Article VI, Sec. 2O says: ssThe General AS
,cmbly may provide for the establishment OF o
Probate Court in each county having popula-
ion Of over $1,000" Clearly, the new Probate |
Ict was passed and has gone into effect under /
lie power expressly conferred BY this suction Of ]
he Constitution Of 1870 I, ". BorDES, |

BOND SUIT,

Special Dispatch 10 The Tribune.
OMAHA, Neb., July 2l.-Thc County Com
missloncrs OF this county to-day decided to
bring suit against the Union Pacific to restrain
them from disposin= of Slo3,0o0 in county
bonds now in their possession, issued several
years ago to aid them In the construction Of the
Missouri River bridge ut this point. 1t is
claimed that these bonds arc illegal and void,
for the reason that there was no authority in
law to issue at that tinc and that the confirina-
tory act Of the Legislature in 1869 was uncon-
stitut;onal and void. The county also claims
that the whole issue Of these bonds, $3.50, 900,
is illegal and void, and Judgment is asked for
the whole amount, including those that hare
yoid, even in the hands Of bona fitle holders,
and that payment would be refused if it was

Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia are the causes Of
two-thirds the cases of Consumption. Many per
sons complain of dull pain in the side, constipa-
on, coated tongue, pain in the shoulder blade,
feelings OF droWsiness and restlessness, the food
lying heavily on the stomach, accompanied with
acidity and telching up of wind.
These symptoms usually originate from dtsor-
dered condition of the stomach or torpid liver.
Persons so affected, II they take one or two heavy
colds, and IL the cough in these cases be suddenly
checked, will find the stomach and liver Clogged
| remaining torpid and inactive, and almost before
they are aware the lungs are mass Of sores, AND
liberated, the result of which is death.

which does not contain opium or anything calcula
