Points Made by Judge Ball.

Since the retirement of Mr.. Fish
from the presidency, the policy of the
company has been the same and it's
executive officers, with one exception,
have remained the same from that day
to this.
The relations between the Union
Pacific and Illinois Central are now
what they were when Mr.. Fish was In
power, and assisting in shaping, and
consented to such relations.
Courts of equity act on facts al
legged and proved, and not on fears
or supposed prophecies.
While Mr.. Fish may rightfully de-
sire to remain a director of the Illi-
nois Central he has no right to that
office unless he is legally elected there
TO. Hence, his defeat, If 1t comes
from the lack of valid votes, is no le-
gal injury to the civil or property
rights of Fish or his fellow complain
ants.
As private citizens, the complain
ants are not keepers of the public
conscience. If 1t were not for the
fact that the name of Hartman Is a
name to conjure with. these allega-
lions would not be taken 10 seriously.
The election of directors at the com
ing meeting can work no legal wrong
to complainants, and no special injury
to any OF them is proved.
To sustain this preliminary injunc-
ton and prevent the Union Pacific and
Railroad Securities company from vot-
ing their stock at the coming election.

If there is any one thing the repub-

a protective tariff In fact, it is the
very foundation of republican princi-

the tariff has been the chief corner
stone of the republican party and
more than one victory has been won
by making it the paramount issue. 1t
has unquestionably built up the many
important industries now scattered
over the entire country. and TO attack
the tariff at present would mean a
further depression of the financial con
