WASHINGTON, December 1.-THE recent

the direction of setting aside the federal
election bill in favor of a silver bill, is sig-
nifcant Senator Plumb is, of all men in
the Senate, nearest to the people of the
West who have recently been overturning
political conditions in that region. Mr..
Plumb is said to subscribe for, and read per-
sonally, every paper published in Kansas
From the small country papers he gets at
public sentiment In Kansas nearer than any
other OF the public men of that state. He
has seen the violent sentiment growing up in
the West in favor of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver, and has directed his course
accordingly. Last session he was persist
ent advocate of free coinage, and this ses-
sion he Is more active than ever So are the
other Republicans who are known as ''silyer
Senator'S" Teller and WalcOtt of Colorado,
Stewart and Jones of Nevada, and the men
from the new states. Their anxiety to put
the federal election bill aside shows that
there is in the wind a strong and confident
movement to pass a free coinage bill.

to the one in force here was to the effect
that such an order was legal.
The fourth allegation OF the petition
was too indefinite to consider; but the
court was of the opinion that the atten-
ton of council should have been drawn to
that point by the court. No opinion was
expressed as to whether the office of pro
bate Judge was abolished. 1t was simply
that the probate court was abolished, and
that, il the Office of probate judge was
still in existence, he would but be an Of
fcer without any jurisdiction or emolu-
ments whatever.
In a discussion which followed the rem
dition of the judgment the court init
mated that the best way for Bergman out
of the difficulty was to turn over the
papers, as. unless the court changed its
opinion by Monday, a decision to the eff
feet that the Imprisonment was legal
would be rendered.
At first the court was inclined not to
grant the writ. but account OF the fact
that on one of the points thu judges were
divided in opinion, they had decided to
let the writ run.
After considerable discussion as to
whether Bergman should be admitted TO
bail, and deciding that he could not, the
writ was made r~eturnable tomorrow after
noon at 2 O'Clock.

THE NEW UNION PACIFIC
DEAL

Its beng looked upon as 4 well settled
fact that the Gould party has secured con-
troll Of the Union Pacific system and that
President Adams and his friends will step
down and out OF the management after
the next meeting.
Even with the prospect Of such q
change staring US in the face there can be
no Disgusting the fact that President
Adams is exceedingly popular in the
west The people have found very much
in his management to commend Aod very
little to condemn. For the first time this
section has been treated with intelligent
consideration. The immense possibilities
for extending trade 10 the growing west
was recognized by the building OF branch
lines and in the concessions extended to
communities along the line OF the road.
The old policy of sacrificing everything to
through traffic was abandoned aud the
local people we're not charged freight
rates that were practically prohibitive.
These are some Of the reasons why Presi.
dent Adams and his management found
favor in the west.
If the Gould combination back
into control it will find a very changed
condition Of things. Instead Of t%erritor-
les along its line it will ind states. Dot
ting what once were bleak and barren
p~rairies they will now find handsomely
built cities and towns. The whole coun-
try will not now be found in the hands OF
a few cattlemen. but hundreds Of small
rAchmen, farmers and miners occupy it
instead. Local traffic is now a very i'm
portant consideration and instead Of the
railroads grinding the very lives out Of
the settlers the more modern idea Of aid
ing in the development Of the country is
finding favor.
What is known as the Gould sye.em
has not been b~ehindhand in the more
modern principles Of the railroad busi'
ness. 1t has catered like other corpora.
tons to the travelling public, has furn.
ishcd frst-clAss accommodations and when
necessary made important conc essions TO
capture trade. The coming IN of the
Gould party is therefore not likely 10
have any apprcciable effect upon the
towns along the line Of the Union Pacific
beyond a shaking up in the official list of
the road. Mr.. Gould has already ex-
pressed himself as being in favor Of secur-
ing the services OF SOME young, energetic
and competent railroad man as vice presi-
den; and general manager. In this con
nection the name Of Ed. Dickinson Is be-
ing freely mentioned at Omaha and should
the change bring about his promotion the
people of Wyoming would have sincere
reasons for o~ongratulation.
We can see no reason for alarm because
Of the changes which are liable to take
place in the Union Pacific.

to the Philadelphia Times brings tLis in

appoint Representative Charles s. Baker,
of Rochester. assistant secretary Of the

He was james G.. Blaine. Fred HAr-
