VALE ELECIIONEER,
The Champion TrOtting Sire Dies
at PalO Alto.

Electioneer, the world-famous trotting
sire, died yesterday at Palo Alto Stock
Farm.
The great horse had been ailing for some
time past. Several times this year he was
thought to be beyond recovery, but he raj
lied each time, and by the greatest care and
attention managed to pull through. Lately
lie seemed 10 be stronger than he was
early this year. and it was believed
that he would live another year or two.
rheumatism, from which Electioneer was a
great sufferer, was the immediate cause of
his death. His heart was believed to be
affected by the complaint and a sudden pang
doubtless killed the great sire. Electioneer
was 25 years old when he died He was
purchased by Senator Stanford when II
years old from the Stony Ford Stock Farm
for about $1,000.
Electioneer's record as sire Is most re-
markable. Among his offspring are the
best known trotters in the world. He had
slXty-one sons and daughters on the 80 list.
There are plenty of the old horses sons to
take his place, as at Palo Alto alone are
1ffy-four OF his male descendants. Possibly
Electricity or Palo Alto may succeed Elec-
tloneer in the stud.

stunned the consideration of original.pack- age bill. MT. Lehlbach (N. J.) said that the decision of the supreme court would never have been rendered had it not been that a few states of the Union had adopted prohibition. There was one sure way in which the people of Kansas and Iowa could get rid of the original package stores and that was not to patronize them. Let the people do that if the sentiment of the community was against these stores and it would not be a week before the shutters would be put up and the front doors closed.
 Mr. Stewart (Vt.) declared that the drift of the supreme court had been constantly in the direction of centralization. He was 8 Republican, but he was states right man, and as such he was in favor of the pending legislation.
 Mr. Perkins (Kan.) believed in the con- stitutionality and propriety of the pro posed legislation. That it was appropri- ate and necessary ought to be apparent to all. In his judgment no decision rendered in the history of the supreme court had been so unfortunate to the people of the country as what was known as the origi- nal package decision. The Dred Scott de- cision had not been so unfortunate for the people as this recent decision, particularly if congress was left powerless in the pre- miSes
