late hour tonight that the third ap-
pellate division of the Supreme Court
will, within twenty-four hours, hand
down a decision declaring the fran
chise tax law by the Legislature of
1899, unconstitutional, so far as it re-
lates to the state constitution. The
decision is expected at noon to-mor-
row and is one of the most important,
both to the state and corporations, ever
given in this state. So far $7,000000 in
taxes is involved, the state, by the de-
cision, practically losing that amount
of money, and the corporations gaining
it, while at least $4,000, 900 a year in flu

chise tax law was attacked by the in
terested corporations, which operate
forty-seven of the large street fran
chises in Greater New York.

SAGASTA is DEAD.
SPnin's Former Premier Passes
Away.

Madrid, Jan. 5.-Former Premier
Sagasta died at IL o'clock tonight. At
$50 o'clock he had an attack of heart
failure, and it was then thought he
was dead; he rallied however, and
lived for four hours and half. His
funeral probably will take place next
Wednesday.
Senior Sagasta's death was due to
bronchitis and gastric trouble. His
family was at the deathbed, and for
mer Liberal members of the cabinet
were near their old leader. A bishop
administered the last sacrament this
afternoon.
The news of the former premier's
death created a painful impression
throughout Madrid. King Alfonso ex-
pressed profound regret.
Praxedes Mateo Sagasta was born in
1927, rfe was educated in the School
of Engineers in Madrid In 1854 he
was elected to the Cortes as a repre-
sentative from Zamora. He took part
in the insurrection of 1856 and was
obliged to seek refuge in France. On
amnesty being proclaimed in Spain he
returned to Madrid and became q pro-
fessor i'm the School of Engineers. For
a time he was editor of the newspa-
per organ of the Progressive party. In
1866 he again took part in an insur-
rection and was later obliged to flee
to France, from which county he did
not return until after the fall of Queen
Isabella II. He was Minister of the
Interior of the first cabinet formed by
In n
position of Minister of State. This
office he held during the short reign
of King Amadeus. Under the presi-
dency of Marshal Serrano in 1874 he
was Minister of Foreign Affairs, Min
lister of the Interior and president of
the Council. After the coup detat
establishing the monarchy he re-
tired to private life for a time, but in
1875 he gave his adherence to Alfonso
XII. and took a leading part i'm poll
tics. In 1881 he was called on to form
a cabinet, which continued in power
two years. lie was then overthrown,
but two years later came to the front
again as Prime Minister, which office
he held at the time of the death of
King Alfonso XII. Following the
Kings death. he was requested by the
Queen Regent to remain in his office,
but a crisis caused him to reform his
CABINET. Tie was succeeded as Pre-
mier by Canovas de Castillo.
Senior Sagasta's intellect was unim-
paired until his last hours. He talk
ed to his daughter, the presidents of
the Senate and of Congress and to
the Archbishop of Toledo.
King Alfonso has written a letter of
sympathy to Senior Sagasta's family.
During the former premier's Illness the
Queen Mother and other members of
the royal family frequently sent Of
ficials to inquire as to his progress.

SULTAN IN LESS PERIL.
He May Pull Himself out of His civii
BroiI.

Paris, Jan. 5.-The Madrid corre-
spondent of the Temps says in dis
patch that advices received in Spain
from Tangier indicate that the situa-

proved since he released his brother,
who has been favorably received by
the natives. Chief Gogui has been de-
serted by several tribes, who have re-
tired to the mountains.
Premier Silve1a denies that Joint
naval demonstration against Morocco
is projected. On the contrary, he says,
the Spanish sloop of war Infanta Isa-
bel has been recalled from Tangier as
proof that the Powers do not intend
to intervene in what is considered q
question regarding Morocco alone.

CIVIC Duty.

! In every municipality there are some exemplary
citizens. Now and then here and there. there Is
citizen who has voted at every election and who, nj
each election has voted as his Judgment and his con-
science indicated. Sometimes his candidates have
won often they have lost; nevertheless he has per
severed. through victory and defeat, in doing what
| he considers duty. He has not even sought patron
age endeavored to have his legal dues RENTED OF
reduced. He has been. in fact. an ideal citizen.
On the other hand there is the citizen who seldom
votes the citizen who votes frequently, but always
for strict party candidates. whether good bad. COM
petent incompetent the citizen who never votes,
because politicians run for office; the citizen who al
votes and always votes for professional poiti-
clans; the CITIZEN who always votes at regular elections
hut primaries; the citizen who votes but
shouts for reform. There other types making Il
list too long to specify.
1t would not hurt municipality if, periodically,
every citizen would find a secluded corner and ask
himself what have done for my city," He might
ask himself how often he has failed to at pri
maries and regular elections how often he has voted
in accordance with the dictaton of party leaders,
how often he has voted for strict party candidate
professional politician. in preference to cand
date of excellent character and ability. how by fol-
lowing this course has injured his city, how often
he has opposed public improvements, how often he
has fought progress, how often he has DETAINED hon
est, efficient public servants and now often he has
slandered his city to strangers.
Following this examination, he might ask himself
What is my duty to my city and why should per-
form it?' Having Investigated this thoroughly, it
would be well to make firm resolve to vote at every
primary, vote at every election, to work for the
nomination and election of good officials, to condemn
incompetent and Enthusiastically officials to commend
honest, capable officials to urge public Improvements,
to ndorse strict Interpretation of the laws and to
speak well of the city all occasions and at every
opportunity.
Every citizen. rich and poor, has public duties. Ii
every citizen will perform these duties good govern
ment will be permanent, advancement will be pro-
gressive and reform will be unnecessary. In the
United States the people will be the government, in
all branches so long the Republic endures and
their will must be supreme. They can give munich
palties good government and preserve good govern
ment. No matter how perfect the organic law of
city may be, the government will not remain Mt a
high standard unless good citizens take active in
terest in public affairs.
