but the engine on the Chicago eN press was

WASHINGTON, Oct. Especial Telegram
to The BEE, r. Chief Special Agent Hyde of
the census Office stated today that if he can
reach Omaha by November it is his inten-
ton to offer his services for two evenings to
the state republican committee. Mr.. Hyde,
being unused to the amenities Of political
warfare. is very lndignont at the
methods by which the democratic press has
sought TO discredit the census, and the at
tacliS which have been made upon census
officials Of the highest character have
aroused in him conbativeness the evidence
of which was never suspected by those who
know him best. Mr. HYDE said that
II was singular commentary upon
the charge that Superintendent Porter
intended TO falsify the census returns that be
should have selected for the three positions
which practically overlook the entire work of
the census men like Mr.. Hunt, Prof. Gannett
and himself, who had not only like other Of
ficials received their appointments entirely
upon their record as statisticians,
but were more than ordinarily free
from political influence or bias.
Mr.. Hyde expresses himself as confident that
the people of Nebraska will not be deferred
from returnin < their present excellent repre-
sentatives by any difference OF opinion on the
tariff question While believing that the
marvellous resources Of this country, together
with the Inventive skill OF the
people, would sooner or later render
it entirely independent of foreign manu- fac.
turcrs, he is satisfied that will be FASTENED
by the operation of the Mckinley tarlf bill
and believes that any advance Of prices that
may temporarily ensue will speedily be
checked by the opening up of new markets
under the Blaine reciprocity provision, which
he regards as master stroke of policy.

Colorado Miners Aroused.

owners, who cannot get their coal to market
We've IL not for the southern coal mines and
the supply they furnished over the Rio
Grande, Santa t'e and Fort Worth, there

was known. The consequence has been that
the Burlington has been importuned
to furnish cars and put in switch
connections so that the mines of Lafayette
could be reached. When the Union Pacific
angry miners drove off their worlimen. The
entire mining community of Boulder and
western Wild county is aroused John Simp-
son, one of the mine owners, says:
You have no idea how excited our people
were over this. 1t is a fight for bread and
butter with them, aud Louisville, too, came
to our help. Men and boys jumped out of

women, too turned out ~ numbers and Were

Meek said in an interview that he was
sorry the matter had gone so far, as now the

that country, and that they were cracking
the Union Pacific safe toomuch, andhe would
stop it. He said 4 will never permit the

our part Of the country are getting tired of
the present situation, and don't propose to

like it, when you attack my men with shot
guns. Matters are in bad shape in town on
on account of the situation. Miners
are organizing strike for an
advance OF "a cents on q ton
pie are wild. They could make nothing, and
the single men could hardly get work enough
TO pay their board. If we could have gotten
cars every body would have been satisfied and
in prosperous condition"
Mr.. Charles Spencer, another mine owner,
says The condition Is deplorable. We
have been after the Union Pacific road every
of getting cars We never have been able tc
get cars to run one days full time, When
they did come they came in the afternoon
too late for "a days work. 1t was not
until repeated failure in getting what
we asked of the Union PGcitic that we made

These statements fairly reflect the general
situation. The Union Pacific purposely ol

A Conservative View,

PARIS, Oct. 25.-Lockray and Pierre Le-
grand, both of whom have held the office of
minister Of commerce, have been interviewed
in regard to the course to be pursued by
France In consequence of the passage of the
Mckinley tariff bill They are Of the opinion
that Franco should take no part whatever in
any economic struggle arising from the pas
sage OF that measure. They also think that
an amicable understanding between France
and the United States on commercial ques-
tions on which they now differ is probable
and that French commerce has suffered less
from the enactment of the Mckinley bill than
have German and English trade.

THE RATES MUST Be EQUAL

VERMONT SUPREME COURT RULING.
An Uprising of Colorado Coal Miners
Against the Action of the Union
Pacific in That
State.

CHICAGO, Oct. 25-tSpecial Tclc gram TO
THE Bee. The Vermont supreme court has
decided that railroad pools are legal when
rates under the operation Of the pools are
equal to all and reasonable. The terms Of
the decision are directly in line with the
arguments Of Chairman Walker Of the Inter.
state Commerce Railroad association and
Judge Springer Of the AtchiSon, declaring
the present southwestern pool legal Said
Judge Springer today:
'The Vermont decision is in the case Of
the Manchester Il Lowell railroad VS. the
Concord railroad. The interstate commerce
act declares pooling illegal but the Vermont
decision by no means declares unconstitu.
tional the act to regulate commerce. 1t is a
we'll settled rule that exceptions can be
made declaring certain things illegal, pro-
vided 1t can be shown that the exceptions are
not contrary to public policy. In the case Of
the lewiston of southwestern traffic, no rates
have been advanced There can be no pos ST.
BILE complaint from the public, and everyone
treated with perfect fairness. This is the
exception noted by the Vermont supreme
court L certainly do not believe q
railroad pool will ever be declared illegal,
If, under its workings, all shippers
are treated fairly and alike and reasonable
rates are main tanned. So certain are we Of this
that we offered ado are still willing to Join

tanned rates are better for shippers and the
railroads. 1t has been demonstrated that
rates cannot be maintained without pools
