that the farmers and others ought to
be named, 1t ie plain that this pool of
rates means higher rates. The big
roads propose to help the smaller ones.
In fact they are all going to get to-
gether and bleed the country and they
want Congress to authorize the whole
business. These men are making a
powerful argument in favor of govern
ment ownership without intending to.
If there is no way out of the difficulty
except to pool, why not do it and get
done with it7 Mr.. Depew says it will
enable them to construct more lines
ard develop the country. Certainly it
will. They n doing a good deal in
that direction now. The Reading coal
combine is making enough off the PEG,
pie who have to burn coal to construct
a good many new lines. They have
put up the freight and the price of coal
at the same time, making money at
both ends. Well, after the people sub
NIT to this a little longer there will be
a day of reckoning.

SHALL THEY BE ALLOWED TO
POOL2
Arguments in Favor of the Railroads Be-
fore a Senate Committee.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Every mem
Der on the Senate Committee on Inter
State Commerce was present this morn
ing to listen to the arguments of rail
way magnates in favor of the amend
ment introduced by Senator Cullom
making it lawful for any common car
rier, subject to the provisions of the
proposed act, to enter into contracts or
agreements with other common car
riers having for their object the estab-
Iishment and maintenance of just and
reasonable rates and the prevention of
unjust discrimination.
The room was well filled with rail
way men who represented o than
one half of the railway interests of the
United States. President Geo. B. Rob
erts. of the Pennsylvania Railroad was
the first to appear before the commit
tee. He said that the Inter State Com
merce law was being violated every
day, not by the railway companies,
but by shippers and manufacturers.
He was in favor of the bill which, if
enacted into law, would, in his opinion,
be not only beneficial to the public,
but also to the railways.
Chauncey M. Depew, of the New
York Central, followed. He said there
was a general misrepresentation in the
public mind on the subject of the rela-
ton of the railway companies to one
another on the subject of rates and
competition. Under the provisions of
the proposed act, pools or agreements
would be formed by the Pennsylvania
and New York Central with the weaker
roads, which would enable them to
live, and the shipper and the manufac-
turer would not suffer in consequence.
Mr.. Depew discussed the merits of the
Interstate Commerce law at length,
and stated that the companies desired
to comply with the law and establish
standard rates which would be fair to
the public and remunerative to the
companies. He believed the enact
ment Of the amendment would domuch
to insure a strict compliance with the
Inter State law, and it would at the
same time result in the construction Of
more lines and develop the country.
President Ingalls,, of the Chesapeake
& Ohio Railroad, said that unless Con-
gress came TO the relief of the railway
companies the weaker ones would go
into bankruptcy and the others would
join together In s~elf-defence. If this
| amendment to the law is adopted it
will not result in increased rates, but
it will result in equal rates and in
many cases reduced ones, and the rail
ways, in turn, will help enforce the
law.
A. f. Walker said that the proposed
law would have the effect Of encourag-
ing healthy competition and would
create satisfaction among railway com
uanies and the public, and would be a
lstimulus to capital and to further de-
velop the country.

APRoBABLE SPRING VISITATION
The Replies of Prominent Physicians to
the Senate Committees Inquiries
as to the Return of Cholera.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Some time
ago the Senate Committee on Immigra-
ton addressed a series of questions to
a number of prominent physicians in
New York City, as to their opinion of
the probable appearance of cholera in
this country next year; the character
and extent of the danger, according to
their views, and the relation of immi-
grafton to this question and what effect
the suspension of immigration for one
year would have upon the danger.
Replies have been received from DR..
Chas. G.. Wilson, President of the New
York City Board of Health and a num-
Der Of other prominent physicians who
express a.general unanimity of opinion
that there is great apprehension that
cholera will become epidemic during
the spring and summer of 1893. They
believe that a rigid quarantine should
be adopted and constantly maintained
in this country and that all passengers
arriving on steamships should be sub
jected to a close medical examination.
If this inspection and quarantine can
not safely be conducted by United
States officers, the physicians believe
that immigration should be entirely
suspended.

CREDIT TO WHOM CREDIT Is
DUE.

For twenty years the people have
been talking about trying to compel all
railroads topay tax. They never would
have succeeded except for the estab-
lishment of the Railroad Commission.
That body deserves the credit for the
work. Others helped, and it was pecu-
liarly fortunate that we had a Supreme
Court that saw its way clear to decide
IN accordance with the case made out
by the Railroad Commission. The
wisdom of the establishment of the
Railroad Commission has been album
dainty indicated. All honor to it!
We take the above from the North
CarOIinian. We wish to add emphasis
to every word of it, and we wish to en-
phasize the further fact that but for
the stand taken by The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER and backed by the Alliance,
we would not have had a Railroad
Commission. This question would never
have been made an issue in State poll
tics. 1t may be true that "for twenty
years the people have been talking
about trying to compel all railroads to
pay tax, " but where was the newspaper
that took a firm stand for the people
and advocated it, Not one, until THE
PROGRESSIVE FARMER took it up, and
there is not one of those people who
were talking about it and advocating
it who does not know that every par
tisan political paper in North Carolina,
without an exception, that we know of,
took the opposite stand, and they sue
ceeded in defeating the measure until
the election two years ago. The people
know how this vas brought about,
and they know to whom credit is due.
Now to Alliancemen we would say
stand firm, keep up and in thorough
working order, your o Wn organization /;
shut your a to outsiders who are
trying to I'll you and your Order in
their interest. They wish to select
your officers, and map out your poll
cies and platforms, and neutralize all
effort at bringing about the reforms we
need and must have. This railroadtax
victory is a grand victory for the ALI
ance It is worth all the effort and
cost of keeping up your organizationito
the present time 1t has cost united,
persistent hard work, for four years,
to get to where we are. Our work is
not yet done. Eternal vigilance is
the price of liberty" We must con
tinue to unite and educate ourselves
and our children in the science of econ
omic government; we must take care
of the Order or u enemies will destroy
it. They are vigilant and let no oppor,
tunity pass to give Us a stab. This
should prove to us the Importance of
keeping our own counsels and standing
together as one man.

NEVADA MINES ON FIRE.
Work in the Consolidated California and
Virginia Has to be Suspended.

VIRGINIA CRY, Dec. 12.-The fire
that has been smouldering in the tim
bers of the Consolidated California and
Virginia Mine for six years has broken
out again and ore extraction has been
practically abandoned. The trouble .s
in the disused ore slopes on the 1850
and ESQ foot level, near thesOuth line
of the Ophir mine. In 1887 carbonic
gas was pumped into the burning slopes
and the fire was apparently smothered.
For the last three months the mine has
been getting hotter and work was
stopped last week in deep levels.
Wooden bulkheads were built toshut
off the air, but to no purpose. Alright
bulkheads of stone and cement are now
being built, but no n can say how
long the fire will burn.
A dense volume of gas is pouring out
of the air shaft. This is a serious blow
to the Nevada mining industry, throw
ing many hundreds of men out of en-
ployment.

CHEYENNE, Wyoming, Dec. 49,
"Whoop Up" a grade camp on the
Burlington Road, near Sheridan, Wy

PROGRESS AND PROSPERITY.

Wisconsin has within the last few years
undergone wonderful change, and is to-
day one of the most prosperous and pro-
ductive states in the union, and what has
made it so! Why, because her rich fertile
lands are well adapted and produce large
crops of wheat, oats. corn, barley, rye, POI
tatoes, hay, fax, hops and tobacco; be-
cause her lumber and timber trade exceeds
that Of any state east ofthe Rocky Mount
aims, because of her enormous manufac-
turing interests, the quality and value of
her live stock, saying nothing OF her min
ing products, fisheries and enormous wa
ter powers. This is a desirable state for
settlers intending to locate in the North
west.
The Wisconsin Central Lines, as its name
would indicate, penetrates the center of
the state, and tributary to its lines are the
choicest farming and timber lands. A
mong the many thriving cities and towns
along this. route are Burlington, Wauke-
sha, Fon ,du Lac, Stevens Point, Chippe-
wa Falls, Eau Claire, New Richmond and
