A POINT OF LAW.

Dismissed.

Dismiss~d.
in the United states Court yesterday
IN the case OF the Boston Safe Deposit
and Trust Companp, assignee, against
the city OF Grand Haven. Judge Sc
verens announced speaking both for
himself and the Circuit Judge that e
decree must be entered dlsmsang the
cause, and stated that he would flle his
opinion IN few days. In the mean
time counsel could draft the decree.
THIS Is an interesting case. Some
years since corporation under the
laws Of Michigan contracted with the
MUNICIPAL aulloritios OF Grand Haven
Tor the exclusive privilege or supplying
water 10 the city.
subsequently, the city disrcgarding
It's contract with tine company. pro-
cceded 10 lay pipes and furnish water
10 consumers itself The cOmp3ny
then filed a h.ll IN equity to restrain
the city. Afterwards the COMPANY as
signed It's claims against the city and
It's effects 10 the plaintiff II tie present
cause.
The ruling Of the court was substan-
italy that the company from which
the plaintiffs obtained l. rights was
citizen OF Michigan, and 80 Was also the
city of Grand Haven, consequently
SUIT under an amended act 81 Congress
could not have been brought in the
United states Court, both parties being
citizens OF the same state, and that the
plaintiff IN the present action could
acquire no more rights ty the assign
ment than # the original company pos
sessed, hence the court coulo.havc had
40 jurisdiction then i certainly had
none now.
The parties VIII now have 10 fight Il

WHY ARE THEY IcNoREDq

Under this head the Times Re
view has the following:
at is going the rounds OF the
Stiie papers that Governor Steven.
son wants to find forty persons to
IspTesen, Nevada in the St. Louis
Silver Convention. He has named
or Senators and Congressman and
few monied men whose principal
qualification probably consists 10 pos
sessing the means OF paying their
expenses to and from the Conven-
ton. IL does not appear to have
occurred to his excellency that the
newspaper men of the State are en-
titled to his consideration in making
his selections. as with q single ex-
csption he seems so fa- to have ig-
nored them entirely. There is not
m editor OF country paper in the
State who is not better posted upon
oil matters connected with the
silver question, and who is not bet
ter qualified to present with clear
ness its strongest points. than nine
teuths Of the Senators and Repre-
scntatIves in the United States Con-
gress, not excepting some from the
silver-producing States. In fact,
the Western press has furnished
four-fifths of the material for all Of
the silver speeches that have been
made in Congress. since the qnes-
ton has been mooted in that body
The officers at the Convention have
written to every paper in Nevada
asking Tor such information and
points as will further the cause ;
then why not give such contribu-
tions official character by appoint
ing the authors delegates 10 the
Convention? Probably not hall OF
the delegates appointed will attend
in person, and perhaps it is more
probable. that more than half of the /.
journalists Of the State are too inn
pecunious to meet the expenses OF |
the trip. Their brain work, how 1
ever, will be there all the same,
and why deny them such reeogni- /
ton rs would be conferred by the
empty honors of official appoint 1
nent, instead of filing out seventy
five per cent. of the list with
names of persons who probably
couldn't tell the number of grams
in the silver dollars they would |
carry in their pockets?

NEW YORK, Aug. ll.-Since the Mis-

tanned an entrance of It's own INTO Kan

an important figure IN the Western
railroad world. Now that the Missouri,
Kansas * Texas is entirely divorced
from the Missouri Pacific, and is inde-
pendent of Jay Gould, a number Of
railroads have been negotiating 10 OBJ
tain tins important Southwestern con-
nectlOn. Ii Is known that the Chicago

THE SPEAKERSHIP.
The Present Situation and Chances for
Mr. Burrows.


From the Kalamazoo Telegraph.
Our special Washington correspond
ent informs us that the speakership
contest is warming up in Washington,
and that much speculation is being in
dulgcd in as to the result, which of
course j. very uncertain at this date.
The opinion Is that Reed of Maine has
the best chance for two reasons; first,
he has been the Republican minority
candidate for two Congresses, and is a
leader on the floor of the House in all
the sharp parliamentary contests. His
tongue j. sharp and bitter, and his wit
keen and quick.
The Western candidates are McKin-
ley, Of Ohio, Cannon, of Illinois and
Burrows. of Michigan. The lines VIII
ultimately be drawn pretty sharply be-
tween the East and the West, and the
contest viii narrow down to two men,
either Reed and Mckinley or Reed and
Burrows. 1t is thought perhaps Reed
and Mckinley. This would place Mr..
Burrows third IN the race-a posi-
ton of great advantage TN
der the circumstances. Reed
dislikes Mckinley, and McKin-
ley's friends do not love Reed The
members from New York and Pennsvl-
vania viii have great influence in de-
Gliding the contest, the former casting
nineteen votes and the llattor casting
twenty votes in the caucns-a total of
thirty-nine. Our correspondent saws
that the Republicans from each Of
these States will vote together, but how,
10 one can tell as yet. The uncertainty
surrounding the fight, aad the growing
hostility between the friends of Reed
and Mckinley, would sem 10 Indicate
that a compromise candidate w.nafter
all be elccted-and the most available
one is Mr.. Burrows. who is looked upon
by his friends az the dark horse m
