VaIuabIe Stallion la Dead.

New York; Heros, a valuable stall
lion, is dead. The horse had been sick
for several days. He was valuable not
only because of his exceptional train
ing, but also on account of his breed,
which was pure Fredericksborg. This
is the royal Danish breed, and is al
most extinct. According to one of his
owners, there are none in the royal
stables of Denmark, and the only stall
lions are owned by few wealthy
farmers. The animal was years old
and born perfectly white. He was
brought over from France last fall.
He died from an erection of the
throat Thursday.

Musr PAY FuNps IN ApvANcE.
Attorney General Gives Ruling on It'll
nois OFFICERS.

Springfield, ILL.,: Attorney General
Hamlin, in response to a request from
Governor Yates for an opinion CON
corning his construction of that sec
ton Of the Constitution which requires
State officers to make semiannual re-
ports of fees collected and disbursed,
Monday rendered an opinion.
Hamlin not only decides that such
reports are required from all officers,
regardless Of whether they receive
fees, but in discussing the question he
goes further, and calls attention to
another section of the Constitution
which requires all fees to be paid in
advance into the State Treasury.
This section of the organic law Of
the Commonwealth has become obso-
lete by reason of nonuser, and Ham
Inns reference to 1t will bring grief to
many officers.
BY making it convenient to overlook
the section of the Constitution to
which Hamlin refers, officers of vari-
GUS departments In Illinois for years
have been reaping substantial personal
benefits in the way of interest on pub
lie deposits with friendly bankers who
needed the money in their business.
This has long been known and has
been winked at by politicians.

Points in the Decision.

The merger placed control Of the
two roads in the hands of a single per-
son, to-wit, the securities company.
1t destroyed every motive for COM
petition between two roads engaged
in interstate traffic.
The power acquired by the combi-
nation operates directly upon inter
state commerce by controlling the
means Of transportation.
The fact that each road has its own
board Of directors is no guaranty Of
Independent operation Of the roads.
No charter granted by any State is
intended to interfere with the opera
ton Of a national law.
Tho organization of the Northern
Securities Company accomplishes an
object denounced by Congress as IL
legal.
The securities company is enjoined
from acquiring further stock of either
of the said railroad companies.
1t is also enjoined from voting such
stock at any meeting of the stockhold-
ers of either of said railroad compan-
les.
The securities company must not
exercise any control over the acts Of
either of the two railroad companies.
The Northern Pacific and Great
Northern companies are forbidden to
pay any dividends to the securities
company.
The securities company is permit
ted to return all shares of stock held
by it to the original holders.
