Whore Does 1t Stand?

Everybody knows that a majority OF
the Democratic party is in favor Of free
coinage OF silver. Nobody knows, I'm.
less it be the Register itself, on which
side Of the question it is to be counted,
but it is plain that the Register and
others Of its kind are not willing to
show the cloven foot ut present. We
hope the committee on rules will de.
feat the hypocritical schemes Of those
who desire delay and bring the matter
to a crisis. We want to see the mem.
bers OF Congress put themselves on
record.

One newspaper doesn't often get such
a drubbing rs tho INTELLIGEScER lately
gave the Register. Tho INrELLIGENcER is
doing moro valuable service for Repub.
lican principles than aver before. Mr..
Hart evidently understands the ques-
tons on which the coming campaign is
to be fought, and if the Democrats don't
feel the ellect OF its sledge-hammer blows
"before the war closes We wifi miss our
guess. Its editorials abound with great
common sense, and are written in a
style hat anybody can understand. 1t
ought to DO in the hands of all tho vo-
tors in the state, and Republicans will
make a mistake If they do not use it
very largely this year.

right in voting for free silver. 1t is sim
ply disgracciul to dodge a vote on a

they have sent their representatives, to

not one oftho lodging kind, and he will
find, when he comes before his people
again, that they appreciate a man who
has tho nerve to vote as they want him
to, without regard to consequences.

consideration OF the bill, and he will
vote for the bill when it comes to pass

The Old Bridge Quarrel,

OMAHA, NEB., February 1.-The recent in
crease in the switching charges made by the
Union Pacific is causing many complaints
from the jobbers and other roads, and some
railroad men think that they see scheme to
force the Iowa lines to pay bridge toll. The
Rock Island and Milwaukee are able, under
their contract to haul their cars across the
bridge and into Omaha, but the tracks as
signed for their use in the city are so located
as to be inaccessible to teams. They are
compelled to submit to any switching regula-
itions which the Union Pacific may name.
The Northwestern, which has a favorable
traffic arrangement with the Union Pacific,
has already adopted the alternative. Instead
iOf bringing its cars over Its own bridge, its
cars are now taken to the Council Bluffs
transfer and turned over to the Union Pacific
The latter thereby gets the benefit of its pro-
portion of the through rate, which includes a
bridge toll of cents per 100 pounds. 1t is
eurmised that the Union Pacific is trying to
force the Rock Island and Milwaukee to de-
liver to it their cans at the transfer across the
river. The local freight agent of the Rock
Island says the situation has been reported to
the general officers, and in the meantime it's
patrons will be protected.

An Important Meeting.

An ifnpOf CdnC WSSCin8s
ST. JOSEPH, No., February ia very i'm
portant meeting of committees of the Broth
erhood of Railway Trainmen and of the Or
der of Railroad Conductors has been in ses-
sion here, preparing schedule to be sub
mitted to the general managers of the Grand
island and the Kansas City, st. Joseph &
Council Bluffs railroads. Heretofore their
meetings have been held in Omaha in order
that the chairman might be in direct COM
munication with the heads of the road, but
owing to the late change in the Grand Island
management it is now possible to hold them
here.
Three very interesting questions were un-
der discussion and were incorporated in the
schedule as submitted to the railroad COM
pany. These are demand on the part of
che passenger conductors on tho Grand Island
road for an increase in salary from 500 to
$1& per month; final settlement of the
question of the allowance of full time when
going out TO bring in trains, and an arrange
ment of the existing running schedule so as
TO allow the crews to make more mileage
and in consequence higher wages. 1t is the
belief of the committee that the railroads will
readily agree to the schedule offered and that
an amicable adjustment of differences will
be effected.
