State Supreme Court Opinion.
Linooln dispatch to the Omaha Bee:
The supreme court has handed down a
decision in the case submitted by State
Treasurer Meaerve with reference to
the depository law The syllabus of
the opinion is self-explanatory and is
us ftolows:
in re slate treasurer's settlement.
Orig.nal. Opinion by Judge Xorval.
'Die rule Is well settled tliat wtje.fT
authority is conferred upon law by three
or more person* to execute a public
trust or agency and in thp execution
tliwcof nil are assembled to deliberate
or had notice or opportunity to l>e
pj esegt,, the act of a majority i» bind

<1 uttes the concurrent action of tall.
2. To constitute a Istnk a state dr
pository of public funds it must give u
bomlfor the safe-keeping and payment
of m»i h deposits und tile accretions
thereof, conditioned as required by
law. and approved by the governor,
secretary of state and attorney general
or any two of them, where all were
present and conferred upon the sub
ject.
3. The depositing by a state treas
urer Of public funds in a state deposi
tory bank in excess of one-half of the
amount ol the |H"ualty of the bond
given by said bank wifi not have the
effect to release either the principal or
the sureties from their obligation to
as . __ 4.. ilia*
amount of M) per centum of the bond
ami the accretion* thereof.
< A deposit of public money* by a
state treasurer in a legally constituted
depository for pnblic funds, in compli
ance with tiic provisions of tin- depos
itory law. is in substance and legal
effect a loan of tlie money so deposited.
Public funds so deposited uud re
maining in a state depository at the
termination of tlie office of a state
treasurer, he is not required to with
draw therefrom and physically deliver
the possession thereof to his successor
in office.
ti. The state depository law is not
amendatory of subdivision viii, section
'i. article iv. chapter lxxxiii, compiled
statutes, in such a sense as to render it
inimical to section 11. article ili of the
constitution.
This decision is expected to give the
slate treasurer access to a large partol
the funds which were tied up till now
in the state depository banks. While
Treasurer Mcscrve has not yet indi
cated to what extent he will take
advantage of the decision, his policy as
carried out up to this time has been tc
give the hunks holding state money
every possible opportunity to turn in
the money without unnecessary incon
venience It is possible lie will ask
tlie hanks affected by the decision to
give new depository bonds as security
for the funds which they hold and
attempt to draw tlie money out only as
needed for payment of the state's obli
gations. A great many of the deposi
tory hanks have already given new
bonds ami had the funds in their
custody redeposited hv Treasurer
Mcscrve. it has also been decided by
tlie state board, which approves the
depository bonds, that no bond shall
be accepted in greater amount that
*:ioo,ooo. this with a view * to keeping
tlie deposit in any single hunk lielow
|150,000.
The decision does not affect the
shortage of Treasurer Hartley, which
remains af t5:i7.00n and which consists
of unaccounted for school money, to
gether with the missing sinking fund
appropriation.

Washington dispatch: Kx-Govern©r
Thayer was taken ill yesterday at the
Hotel Ktnrich with an attack of the
grip. He immediately sent for Senutor
Allen to come to see him, and after
consultation with physicians it was
decided to remove the governor to
Providence hospital where lie could lie
lietter cured for than at a hotel, where
there was no one to minister to him.
The physicians state that while there
is no cause for alarm in his condition.
Governor Thayer will need good care
or else a tendency to bronchial fever
may asert itself. Senator Allen at
once wired the fact to the governors
son. John M. Thayer, jr., at ltcatrlee,
N'eb.. and George I). Thayer at Cripple
Creek. Colo., telling them that he
would send word if a change for the
worse occurred. The senator said Unit
lie thought the governor would pull
through u 11 right, and that there was
no cause for alarm among hi* friends.
He will see that the governor 1* well
provided for until lie recovers suffi
ciently to permit him to travel.

clerk of the Nebraska house of repre
sentatives: 1 liuvc the boner to ac
knowledge the receipt of the resolu
tions recently adopted by the Nebraska
house of representatives respecting the
passage of a bankrupt law by congress,
and in rely to say that I am decidedly
in favor of a judicious vUliiutary bank

ad containing involuntary features,
which will permit a creditor to ruth
lessly push liis debtor into bankruptcy
and dissipate hi* property without
affording him a full and fair opportu
nity to handle hi* own estate and
realize the full value of his property
for the payment of hi* debt*. 1 am
<|iiite confident that the legislature of
Nebraska docs not desire me to support
uu act like the Torrey act, drawn al
together in the interest of the credi

against ex-St* te Treasurer John K,
Hill handed In a verdict in favor of
the plaintiff and fixed the amount due
at #ts:i.:i:t, with interest amounting to

to l»e a Balance due him from Hill for
services rendered in the defense of the

that his services in prosecuting the

were of the value of #10,Otsi. and that
lie hail as yet received but $'.'.000. The
plaintiff also alleged that lie defended
Hill in the impeachment proceedings
In-ought by the state senate to oust,
him from the office of state treasurer.
In both of these eases Mr. Broady ob
tained a verdict favorable to his client.
Hill admitted the rendering of the ser

the instructions seemed to favor the
plaintiff.

Washington dispatch: In drawing

were infinitely more successful than
the republicans, so far as Nebraska is
concerned. Representative Green's
was among the first fifty names called
and he selected a place to the extreme

Sutherland and Stark. Judge Max
well lost three or four good seats by
not taking advantage of his opportu

of tlie speaker's desk in the same sec
tion with his colleagues. Dave Mer
cer’s proverbial luck seemed to fail
him on this occasion, hi* name not
being culled until far down the list
then he selected a seat on the far
right. His associate. Judge Strode,
ulso chose a seat on this side near the

Nebraska delegation will be obliged to
wrestle in the coming session T* the
appropriation for the Trans-Mississippi
exposition, which failed of passage by
reason of the president's veto of the
sundry civil bill. It took very earnest
work on the part of alt the representa
tives from the state in the house to
secure recognition of this enterprise,
and it will take vigorous work in the
coming session to duplicate the results
heretofore secured, it is not vet cer
tain that the appropriation bills will
be taken uo until after the tariff has
passed. There is talk of continuing
the appropriation* by resolution until
congress meets in regular session in
December. The earnest work of Rep
resentative Mercer, ably assisted by
Representative- Hainer, who was a
member of the appropriations com
mittee, and of Judge Strode and Itepre-"
sentative Andrews, warded off opposi
tion and paved the way for national
recognition of the Trans-Mississippi
exposition. There is a growing feel
ing in congress uguiust appropriations
for enterprises of tiiis character and it
is not likely that further appropria
tions will be made in years tri come.
Apropos of this, ex-Hecretary Morton,
who is violently opposed to the appro
priation of government funds for
•■shows,” threatens to apply to the
courts for an injunction against the
expenditure by the stab* of Nebraska
of any appropriation for the Traus
u iuui station! <* v tw »•*! t li m III* I'.liiims t.hllt
Midi appropriations arc in the nature
of taxation of the many for the benefit
of tiie few. Mr. Morton has written
an article for a lending magazine in
which he denounces, among other con
gressional extravagances, us lie terms
them, tile appropriations made for the
world* fair, and the Atlantic, Nash
ville and Trans-Mississippi expositions.
