This net was passed In 1681 , nnd the ncctlon
Only applies to corporations of nn adjoining
ptato which shnll Imvo extended Its rnllroaa
Into thlsstato nnd become ncorporation under
the laws thereof , to mortgage , lease or sell
that part of Its railroad situated within , this
ntato to a railroad company within the stale.
tThls section docs not repeal sections 89 and
01 of chapter 10 of the compiled statutes.
Nor doci It nuthorlro ft railway to lease Its
entire line , that out of the Htnte ns well as
that within. That atatulo , therefore , docs
not apply to nor aid this caso.
So fnr ns the power to lease Is concerned ,
requiring the lines to bo continuous , chapter
l > 3 of the session laws of 1387 contain provis
ions n4 to the power to purchase or lonso
railways , which need not bo noticed , ns ItM \
no application to the case nt bar. The second
section of the net contains a provision for
the ratification of prior leases and Con
solidations which , at the most , can
only Icgnllro acts done In good faith whcro
there was a want of full ixwcr to perform
tlio name , but docs not npply to canes where
leases wore made , or consolidations effected
ngaliiRttho Inhlbltntlous of the statute. The
lease of the defendant , therefore , Is not vali
dated or aided by that statute. To Justify
the defendant In leasing its line to the 13. &M.
railroad company , it must bo able to point to
the exact Btntuto granting such authority ,
which it has failed to do. ( Ponn. Co. vs St ;
Louis. Alton & W. Kailroad , 118 U. S. , 291. )
In the opinion of the majority of the court
Jn thnt caso-itis said : "Wothlnk It may bo
stated as the Just result of these cases , and
on sound principle , that unless specially
authorized by its charter , or aided by notno
other legislative action , a railroad company
cannot , by Icasa or nny other contract , turn
over to another conlpany for a long period of
time , Its road and nil Its appurtcnancos , the
use of its franchises nnd the oxorclso of Its
powers. Nor can nny ether railroad com
pany without similar authority make
n contract to receive and opor
nto such road , franchises , and property
Of the first corporation ; and that such n
I contract is not among the ordinary powers of
n railroad company , and is not to bo pre
sumed from the usual grant of powers in n
railroad charter. " Tim , In our view , is a
correct statement of the law.
In Thomas vs Hnllroad company , 101
II. S. , 71 , n railroad company In New
Jersey had leased its road , franchises
nnd property for 5 period of twenty
years , giving the lessee complete control
thereof , and received as rent one-half the
gross sum collected by the lessee from the
operation of the road. The decision turned
upon the power of the company , under its
corporate authority to malco the lease. The
Jcssccs insisted that a corporation may at
common law do nn act which Is not either
expressly or Implledly prohibited by its
phnrtor. To this the court responded : "Wo
do not concur In this proposition. Wo take
the general doctrine to bo in this country ,
though there may bo exceptional cases
find some authorities to the contrary ,
that the jwwers of corporations organized
under legislative statutes , nro such , nnd such
only , ns those statutes confer. Conceding
the rule applicable to nil statnlcs , that what
is fairly Implied Is as much granted as what
is expressed , it remains that the charter of n
corporation is the measure of its powers , nud
thnt the enumeration of those powers im
plies the exclusion of nil others. "
The doctrine ns above stated meets our
hearty approval. If the allegations of the in
formation arc true , and they nro to bo so con-
{ lidorcd on demurrer to the Information , the
defendant induced the people along its line ,
from the Kansas border to the city of Lin
coln , to grant liberal nld for the construction
Of the rond. Every piece of laud subject to
taxation in the counties along the line of said
road nro , practically , mortgaged by the issu
ing of bonds to aid in building it. The inter
est has , presumably , boon paid on thosu bonds
to the present time. Many of the settlers
nlong such road when the bonds wcro issued
xvcro pioneers , struggling with the
hardships , poverty , privations and dif
ficulties incident to a now country.
To many of them , no doubt , the taxes
necessary to meet the interest , and amount
required for the sinking fund , has been a
burden. And to every one the tax was voted
to aid in constructing nnd operating an inde
pendent linn of railway. That was the con
tract of the parties , and the state would bo
ucrollct in its duty if it did not compel nn ob
servance on the part of the defendant
of its duties. The defendant , however -
over , having obtained this bonus , sought to
surrender all its powers , rights and fran
chises to another corporation for the period
of 009 years. So far as the defendant is con-
perncd , it has ceased to operate a railroad ,
und the charge of mlsusor and nonuscr
plainly appears on the face of the record. It
is not the policy of the law to allow a rail
road company , organized ns an independent
line , to procure aid on every hand in that
character , and , after the road Is completed ,
bell out to the highest bidder. Honorable
nnd fair dealing' are ns essential in the deal
ings of n railroad corporation with Individu
als and the public , in the construction and
pporatlon of its road , as between Individuals In
fclio affairs of Hfo. A railway" company can-
xiot bo permitted to net In had faith with
these from whom It has received aid , upon
certain conditions. Having received the con
sideration , it must perform its part , and the
parties are entitled to n liberal compliance.
And while u lessee in n nropor case , or as
signee , or purchaser , will take a road bur-
pcncd with the conditions , obligations and
duties assumed by the original corporation ,
yet there can bo no such transfer by lonso ,
nsslgnmcnt or snlo , without express statu
tory authoiity , and. as wo 11 ml no such au
thority , and the defendant has been guilty of
inisuscr nud nouuscr of Its franchises , they
nro subject to forfeiture.
2. Wo have placed the decision entirely
upon the statute , but there are other grounds
which'will now bo consldorod. Section U ,
article 11 of the constitution provides that "no
railroad corporation or telegraph company
shall consolidate its stock , property , Iran-
'chlses or earnings , In whole or In
part , with nny ether railroad corporation
6r telegraph company owning n parallel or
competing line , and in ud case shall nny con
solidation take place , except upon public
notlco of at least sixty days to all stockhold
ers , In such manner ns may bo provided by
law. "
Section 5 nlso provides thnt "No railroad
corporation shall issue nny stock or bonds ,
except for money , laborer property actually
received nnd applied to the purposes for
which such corporation was created , nnd nil
stock , dividends and ether fictitious Increase
of the capital stock or indebtedness of any
such corporation shall bo void. The capital
stock of railroad coriwrnttons shall not bo
Increased for any purpose , except after pub
lic notlco for sixty days , in such manner as
mnv bo provided by law.
This In nn absolute prohibition ngnlnst n
railroad corporation consolidating its stock ,
property , franchises or earnings , in whole or
in part , with any ether railroad corporation
owning n parallel or competing line. The
word ' 'consolldalo" Is hero used In the sense
of "Join" or "unite. " The constitutional
convention aimed at practical matters. The
character of the title of the parties operating
n railway Is of but llttlo moment to the
general , public , whllo the requirement that
different roads shall continue to bo compet
ing lines ns when they wcro constructed , Is
of the utmost Importance to nil. The
law cannot bo evaded , therefore ,
by substituting n lease for n deed
of conveyance. It will bo observed thnt
thcro nro two classes of railroads to which
the prohibition applies , viz. : parallel and
competing. As to what are parallel roads Is
not now before the court ; uut that the defendant -
fondant was n competing road Is alleged in
the information , admitted by the demurrer ,
nnd clearly shown from the record. It was ,
therefore , clearly within the inhibition of
the constitution , and neither its stock , fran
chises or earnings can bo Joined to any other
competing lino. The prohibition against the
Jolntter or these prohibits the leasing of such
roads. Competition can only bo had by se
curing competing lines , and thus prevent n
monopoly in the operation of the roads ; nnd
this it did by prohibiting the purchase or
control of parallel or competing roads under
the same management. As the defendant
Was organized prior to the adoption of the
constitution , it Is claimed that It would not
bo subject to this restriction. Thcro Is no
force , however , in this objection. The cor
poration was orgnni/cd to build nnd opornto
n railroad from the Knnsns line to Lincoln
nnd Columbus. Thnt was the very purpose
of its being. It had no authority to lease its
road under the statute , nnd was therefore
deprived of no right , nnd the constitutional
inhibition applies to it.
The attorneys for the defendant contend
that section 5 , article 11 , of the constitution
applies more particularly to stockholders. It
has a much broader scope , however. It was
Intended to restrict the Issue of stock and
bonds to the actual consideration received.
One of the objects of the provision -
vision was to enable nil parties to
know the actual cost of nil railroads within
the state , so that the legislature In providing
for taxing them , nnd for regulating the
charges for transportation of , persons and
property , may bo enabled to do so advisedly ,
and pass laws which shall bo Just , alike to
the railroad companies , th6 public and indi
viduals.
Inanyvlow of the case , therefore , the do-
fondant's franchises are subject to forfeiture.
The court will not. in the first instance , how
ever , declare a forfeiture ; but the lease will
bo declared void.
The demurrer Is overruled and the defendant - ,
ant has lenvo to answer by the first day of
tbo next term of court.
Order accordingly.
The other Judges concur.

Ono More Unfortunate.
A melancholy procession meandered up N
street yesterday and attracted more than
ordinary attention. A sad looking mule
slowly followed n man armed with a spade ,
and once In a while turned around to look re
proachfully at Officer Dixon , who brought up
the rear nnd endeavored to hide a gun from
the aforesaid mulo. The mule was going to
Its own funeral , and seemed to know it. It
was suffering from an attack of glanders In
the worst form , and had been turned loose by
its unprincipled owner to contaminate all the
live stock In South Omaha. At a preliminary
hearing Voterinarv Surgeon Lompko sen
tenced It to bo shot , nnd li was shot. Nowtjio
citizens nro trying to find out the owner , and
If they nro successful that owner will receive
all the law allows. Ho deserves it ,
The GAH Question.
Doubtless the question of granting a fran
chise to some gas company will como up before -
fore the council to-night , nnd it may
bo as well to state that white all three ap
plicants for the franchise mean business ,
they are not prepared to give everything and
receive nothing. It is for the council to say
whether or not they are asking too much.
Ono thing is certain , and that is , South
Omaha wants her streets lighted , and that
as soon as possible. There Is no use In voting
ing down every proposition that Is made ,
merely because u "gas" company has made
It. The question is merely this : The city
wants to bo lighted , three companies want to
light it , and the council wants to see that the
citizens got the greatest posslblo bcnolit for
the money they spend. They are not asked
to oTcr ( factious opposition , but to make the
best bargain they can under tliu viicum-
stanccs , and got the city lighted.
How They Stnnil.
The city finances nro In n much better
shape than 001110 croakers care to admit.
There are enough funds on hand and enough
taxes duo to pay all salaries and floating in
debtedness , and the present Judgment
against the city does not amount to $1 per
head. The only trouble was that South
Omaha grow mtfch faster than Its most san
guine friends expected , and ns ft matter of
course the expenses grow In proportion ,
This lott the old council In dobt. but the pres
ent members realize this , nnd ftro already
taking steps to prevent a llko mishap. It
can bo token ns official that South Omohn ,
with nssesslblo property , worth over * 5,000-
000 , with n population of about 8,000 , nnd
with prospects brighter than , these of nny
other city in the west , owes about f9,000.
