ST.. LOUIS, March THE hearing of
the case of the state of Missouri against
Jay Gould and others, to prevent the
voting of certain shares of Iron Noun
tain stock at the annu,,i meeting of the
company next Tuesday, on the ground
that the Missouri, Kansas Il Texas road,
OF which they are also shareholders, is
competing line to the Iron Mountain,
was begun in tho circuit court to-day.
The court dismissed defendants mo-
ton to remove counsel employed
to assist the circuit attorney, who
brought the suit on the ground that the
real plaintiff was one Plant, OF New
York, and that the state OF Missouri had
nothing to do with the case. Af1idavils
filed on behalf the defendant, to show
that the roads involved were not com
peting ones, and that tho public had
gained by their joint management, were
read.
Argument continued all the afternoon
till late this ey0AiAg, when Judge Lube,
in very tow words, refused to grant
the temporary injunction. Probably no
further action will DO taken in tho case
and Jay Gould and his associates can
vote their stock at the meeting Of the
Iron Mountain stock holders next Tues
day,

Mr.. KIMBRoUGH has certainly pur-
sued strange course in regard to the
amendments to the city charter Of Dali
las. 1t is presumed the city council in
its recommendations represented the
will of the people in this city, and as
Mr.. KIMBRoUaH is supposed to repre-
sent tho will of the people, it is strange
he should have offered amendments TO
one of the most vital of the provisions.
The article he amended only affects the
city of Dallas and not the county, and 1t
is not to be supposed he is to arrogste
to himself the guardianship of this city,
or to work in the interests OF the very
few, when the whole body OF the people
are to be affected. He should exert
himself to carry out the will Of the ma
jority of the people of the city.

Ii will be remembered that the next

He will have the appointment of the

that the ohairmen aforesaid and also
the heft of the committees themselves
may possibly be democratically in
clined. 1t may be so, and If Illinois
should also elect q Democratic senator
as now seems exceedingly probable,
there is no telling how nearly the true
