It was mill-summer court day yester

uf than n any mu ilny before this
year. The Judges make a practice of

of tlie suiiimcr to hand down oiilnlons.
bear tinitiuns in:. I keen the wheels of
justice from hecoiniiiK t lodged.
Yesterday was that day ami on account
if the turn up emidition of the upper
llnois of Hie court house Judges Arch-
inild. tJiinstef mnl Kdwards sat in the
rbitratioii room tlnriiiK the jtreiitiT
pait of the day. They handed down
more than thirty opinions, many uf
ilieiu of much Importance nnd heard
inoti.ms from fully one-half nt the
members of the liar. It was n record
breaking day with the court.
One of the Important opinions handed
down was; written by Judg Kdwunls
nnd directed that n preiuptory manda
mus issue uKuinst the I ilyphunt liu. nmh
iiincil r.inimnudlniT it to meet forth
with to b vy the annual taxes. The
proceedingy lor the mandamus ure the
result of the trouble thai bus existed hi
the hui'uuph council since Its oi'Kunin
tion last Sprlny. Judge Kdwunls' opin
ion in part is as follows:
The petition In this case, at the rela
tion of the burgess of the horouuh ol
olyphaut, asks for a writ of mandamus
against the members of the town council
of nal'l horouiih. It appeal's from the pe
tition that the council met for orifaniKi
tion on ..March i', 1MM. und contlluKHl to
meet from I lino to time until March 11,
when a president was elected. The elec
tion of president was contested and In a
proceeding in court was declared valid.
COI'NVlf. F.gl'AM.Y DIVIDKD.
The petition, further alleges, that on ac
count of a division in the council the
members voting: six to six the business
of the boroimh is neglected, ihe annual
tax lias not been levied, orders ond bills
remain iinnald, no provision Is made to
meet the Interest on outstanding; bonds,
the streets are neglected, the electric
liuhl dues are uncollected, workmen lire
lamnrltii; for their pay and the affairs of
ihe burouirh are in Kcneral disorder and
confusion. e have examined
this ipiestlon Hi some leneth and are sai
Islleil that the buruess Is a competent re
lator. The otilce ol bui'Kess Is an Impor
tant one. Hy the act of 1M his functions
have been separated from those of a mem
ber of the town council. He cannot now
lie a member of nor preside over the meet
Inns of the council. He exercises certain
supervisory powers over the action of the
council. He is vested Willi the Veto pow
er. He stands as il Were between the
ouncil and Ihe people. And If the mem.
hers of council continue to disregard the
plain and imperative mandates of law and
Inly, who would most naturally ami prop
erly interfere, unless it were the blirgeny?
The answer made to this question Is
that the hursess Is not personally bene-
licially interested, and If the purpose is
to enforce a public duty the petition
should be at the relation of the attorney
Kcneral or of the districraltorney of the
proper county. We are Finis
hed of his competency us a relator In these
rofeedlnws and that our action In rclus-
hiK the motion to quash on the grounds of
his alleged Incompetency was proper.
The council Is composed of twelve mem
bers. When meetings are culled six at-
nd nnd six slay away. They elm-ted a
president by mi accidental miscalcula
tion on the part of some of the recnl d
trant members. This appears in the other
use that was before us.
OANNOT RE AT.I.OWKD.
If such conduct Is allowed there can lie
no government. Hills and claims against
the borough are accumulating; unpaid or.
lers are limiting around; the annua! tax
Is not levied and municipal progress Is nr-
e.-teil. We are clearly of the opinion that
a peremptory mandamus should Issue as
prayed for.
Members of town councils nn.l all pub
lic olllclals are amenable to the law. As
was well said by T.owrle, C. .1., Ill l.amb
vs. I.ynd suprn: "olhVial conduct Is tiev r
free from law ; it is always regulated more
or less si ra illy; II must follow the pull
prescribed for It: the law of society and
not individual will. Is Ihe measure of Us
In- dom: nnd it is only thus that Individ
ual liberty is stvurid from otlii.lal ari l.
I rariiiess."
nl accordance with the f.rct;olng opin
ion we ihereforo direct that jcdgiucril be
entered for the relator, with costs of suit,
and the exigency of the case, in the opin
ion mnl discretion of the court requiring
it, wv direct I he peremptory wiit of inan
daniits to issue for'hwith, eominandiiig
the defendants to meet at the eoiin-il
room ill the borough of olyphaut to levy
the annual taxes provided by law, and lo
provide sui-h oi her measures as In I heir
judgment, ure tieces-ary lor the govern-'
lueiit of said borough.
Judge flimsier dissented from Ihe
opinion of the court, but did pot lile an
opinion.
An opinion '-vas handed down by
Judge 1'iiiiislcr in the Injunction prn
eicdiligs of the borough of Win loll
against the Mount Vernon FleclrU

XO CHAXOR OF VKXI'R.
A change of venue will not bo nl
lowed In the trespass ease of John .
Jennings, of Minooka, ngainsl the X.e
iiigh Valley Hallroud company us will
be seen from the following taken from
Judge Kdwards' opinion on the sub
ject: There is no reason shown why the par
ties cannot have a fail trial In this county.
The action belongs lo the ordinary class
of negligence cases which are tried In our
courts every term. It is true that a Jury
disagreed once in this case, but that is raft
an unusual occurrence, considering the
large number of cases. tried In this county.
It is also true that twice a Juror w.is
withdrawn, and the case continued; on?e,
because a Juror stated during the trial that
he had formed an opinion as to the merits
of the case, and another time on account
of the action of the plaintiff's counsel.
This case Is like other cases and should
lie tried in the usual course of the admin
istration of justice In our courts. A change
of venue Is refused ond the rule Is dis
charged. GILES IS ALL RIGHT.
Bernard Giles will continue to act as
a councilman of the borough of Winton,
Judge Kdwards yesterday entering
judgment In his favor on a writ of quo
warranto obtained by Iturgess Charles
Sheridan, of Winton. At the election
held February Giles was elected coun
cilman but his election was contested
on the ground that at he time of the
election he had not paid his taxes within
one year prior to his election. Giles,
after the election, and before the or
ganization of the council, made a ten
der of his taxes to the tax collector, who
refused to accept the taxes in all $26--untll
considered by the court.
When the council met and organized
Giles resigned the office to which he bad
been elected, and at the Bun'ie meeting
he was elected by council to fill Ills own
unexpireil term for the veniulnder of
the year. As his tuxes were paid and
no legal disability was raised lo his
holding the office for the term fur which
he was appointed. Judge Kdwards holds
that he Is entitled to the o!ilce of coun
cilman by virtue of his appointment
thereto.

The trouble nt the Franklin Engine
house is to be officially probed. The
city has decided to tuke a hand In the
mutter and bring about u settlement of
the dinicully, amicably if possible, but
a settlement at all events.
Pursuant to a cull of Mayor ltuiley,
the joint lire department committee of
councils met w iih him at his ollice last
night to advise with him as to what
couise should be pursued In dealing
with the ililiictilty. Little time was
lost in arriving at Ihe conclusion that
the whole affair xhould be thoroughly
silted nnd something done to put an
end to the trouble. Tomorrow night
was llxed as the time for holding the
investigation and it was agreed that
all the Interested parties should be
summoned to present their stories. The
charges against Permanent Man
Sprouts, which are in tsissesslon of
Mayor Bailey, will be then laid before
the committee anil arguments In sub
ittaiitiatoii of refutation will be de
clared In order.
The committee last night hud. little to
say pro and con concerning the case,
resolving ti wait until the case was
more clearly presented before giving an
expression. Some of the members how ever,
took occasion to commit them
selves and It would appear that senti
ment Is pretty well divided as to. merits
of the objectors' plaints.
Captain Molr believed that Inasmuch
as Sproats was not, nor never has been
a member of the company and is and
always has been objectionable to a ma
jority of them, he should not be ier
mltted to occupy the position he holds.
Messrs. Gordon, Noone and others held
thut Sprouts' appointment resulted
from the inability of the compuny to
agree upon any one of their own mem
bers for the position, and as they re
fuse to admit hint to membership nnd
still fall to agree upon any other can
didate the company should be disbanded
and the apparatus turned over to a
new company.
The outcome of tomorrow night's
session is awaited with much Interest.
