me silver question Is also TO the view
less obseured by the craft of It's enemies
thah NJ any time since the assasstna-
tlon OF silver in 1873. No cowardly
inakeshifts or insincere shams can any
longer darken discussion or betray hon

Ihe rea! and vital issue now pre-
scented to the American people is the
proposed elimination OF silver from our
currency. its destruction as money
metal and the use of gold alone, This
- what Is now meant by the movement
against the free coinage OF silver and
must be construed in that proportion.
Every form and kind OF money must
become that much scarcer and harder

products Of labor. Such a policy Is to
my mind simply horrible. / have not a

ROADS IN CONFLICT
Union Pacific Trying TO Bluff the

THE BURLINGTON ROAD IN IT
Receiver Trumbuii Is Altogether Too
Familiar With the Latter Road

Denver, Colo. April 2s-Aithough
Receiver and General Manager s. s.
Clark OF the Union Pacific has had an
order prepared to discontinue connec-
tions with the Julesburg branch OF the
Union Pacific, Denver & Gulf system,
II has been withheld pending a confer
ence with Receiver Trumbull. The
complaint of the Union Pacific is that
the Gulf has been flirting too much
with the Burlington through the con-
nection at Julesburg with the Cheyenne
branch OF the Burlington. For the pun
ishmenr OF Trumbull for his alleged
disregard of the former close relation

all Denver passenger business around
by way of Cheyenne and by withdraw
ing from the Julesburg connection.
leave MIR. Trumbull with 100 miles of
track segregated from any other rail-
road except it's divorcee. the Union Pa
cinc. Receiver Trumbull does not seem
10 have been disturbed by this. The
reason Ii said to be that by building
the 10 miles of track between Valley
and kersey, or Orin station. he can
connect the Orin Junction e. Cheyenne
branch OF the Gulf road with the Jules
burg line and at Sterling the Gulf can
make connection with the Burlington
road. The Burlington branch from
Holdridge TO Cheyenne will In turn re-
lieye the Cheyenne line from Its posi-
tion at the mercy OF the Union Pacific.
That such combination with the
Burlington would be agreeable to both
lines there Is no question. The coal
which the Gulf road commands Is OF the
highest Importance TO the Eurling son,
and as a feeder for coal. iron and ngri-
cultural products the Gulf would become
under such "A combination most pow
erful ally to a road which terminates at
Denver. That the Burlington could deal
with the Gulf without disturbing its
amicable relations with the Denver &.
Rio Grande Is entirely possible and 1t is
known that IL has been coauetting with
the former cohort OF thu Union Pacific
with an eye TO the ve.y combinat ton
the proposed order OF AIR. Clark may
bring about at any time.
MIR. Trumbull is attending TO the con
| struction of new line from Pueblo T.

unite the lines TO the south. lie has re.
peatedly refused to talk about the pro.
posed action OF the Union Pacific, bui
consoles himself with the reflection that
