AGAINST GOLD BONDS.
PopuIists VIII Fight New Issues Of
Interest Bearing Debts.

WASHINGTON, Feb 1S-It has been
learned on high authority that Presi-
dent Harrison reconsidered his deter.
mination not to allow the sale Of bonds
to make good the gold deficiency and
that before leaving the city Wednesday
for hunt he authorized Secretary
Foster to offer bonds for sale whenever
in his judgement it might be necessary
to maintain the nations gold reserve.
This sudden change of mind on the
part of the president was wholly uneX-
pected and is not to be attributed to
any outside influence brought TO bear
upon him On the contrary, such men
as j. Pierpont Morgan, who came to
Washington Wednesday to talk over
the situation with the authorities, left
Secretary Foster decidedly disappoint-
ed, having received no encouragement
whatever and being uncertain as to the
attitude of the government with re-
gard to this question.
The change in front determined upon
by the president leaves Secretary Foster
free to act as he may see fit should an
emergency arise in the presidents alb
sence. That such an emergency has
yet arisen he does not believe. The
treasury had still on hand about 81, 900,
900 in free gold. To-morrow's shipment
of gold will probably not be SO
large as it was feared it would be- If,
as now seems likely. instead of being
5000, 900 there are only about one-third
of that sum, at the end of the week the
treasury will have little over s6,OOO,-
900. One thing Secretary Foster is fully
determined upon-he will not permit
the slG0, 900, 900 reserve to be attacked
CARLISLE FAvORs BONDS.
WASHINGTON, Feb 17.-Secretary OF
the Treasury Foster and ex-senator Car
Isle, the coming secretary, had long
conference over the financial situation.
Neither would say anything about the
conclusion, if one was reached, and
neither would intimate what the future
course Of the treasury might be.
Secretary Foster said he had on hand
yesterday about 81, 900, 900 of free gold
and that the call for to-day would prob
ably reach about $4,000, 900. He be-
lieved, however, that the receipts would
enable him to start the week with s5,-
0OO, 100
Mr. Carlisle in an interview said that
he could not see any occasion for ap-
prehension in financial circles as the
government could not allow gold TO GO
at a premium "My course as secretary
is perfectly plain" he said to friend.
Zone of my first official steps will be to
issue bonds and this will be followed
by special session of congress The
Sherman act will then be repealed"

ANOTHER SUMNER MAN.
William Wykes, of Caldwell, for the
Board of Public Works.

The appointment announced by the
governor as a member of the Board of
Public Works, Mr.. William Wykes,
of Caldwell. The appointment is one
) of the best Governor Lewelling has
yet made, and will have the hearty
endorsement Of the people of this
county irrespective of party pre-
| judices.
Mr.. Wykes is one of our substantial
citizens, and his fitness for the posi-
tiOn to which he has been appointed
are par excellence. He was born in
England and came to this country in
1856; served a seven years apprentice
ship at the Building Trade in Lon
don, graduating with high honors.
Coming to this country he W as ap-
pointed Master Mechanic to this
government and served twenty-seven
years in that capacity, most of the
time on the frontier, and left the
employ of the government in 1888,
since which time he has lived on his
farm near Caldwell. He was the
contractor and builder Of the water
works at Caldwell, and his skill and
thoroughness as a mechanic is well
known. A friend in speaking Of him
a few days ago, says he can step into
a building or structure and tell
almost at glance whether it is
defective or substantial, and can
detect the least flaw or cheat in
material or workmanship. He is
undoubtedly one of the best mechan-
les in the west, which makes his
appointment peculiarly fitting. The
governor can congratulate himself
that in this case he has appointed the
right man to the right place, Mr..
Wykes not only being well qualified
but an honorable, upright and
worthy citizen.
The VOICE congratulates the
governor, Mr.. WykeS and the people
of the state on this appointment.
The governor should now lcse no
timein recognizing the state militia.
II there is any Use of militia
at all it should certainly be made up

provisional government and plunge
the state into civil war. Other re-

this nature could be heard Tor hours.
and other inhamatOry remarks by
| leading Republicans. but thank God
there were a few Republicans who
Iappeased the rebelliOuS and riOtiOus
action, and predictated the horrible
condition Of the hour, and worked in
opposition to the leaders of the mob.
They proclaimed that your actions
50 far cannot be explained to the
! people satiSfactOrially;" 1T will ruin
our chances forever as a party" etc.
You begin to see why the Governor
allied out the militia; there was |.
other resort; he is trying to preserve
order and peace: enforce the laws a.
chief commander. Here and now
marches up the man who the Governor
asked to protect the state, with a
band of ZOO or more of men, hired at
So per day from Kansas City and Othel
! places, many of whom were the lowest
class of men to be found, stopping
outside the guards to await orders,
armed with all sorts of guns, clubs
dirkS, ball bats, ETC., for the purpose
of attacking the state militia, wht
were under orders of their chiefs, and
numbering and OverpOwering them
by orders eminating from the corpora
tiOns and Republican Headquarters.
At this critical dialema, a commit
tee was sent from the Republicans in
the shape of a compromise truce
showing the awful condition of Ofaffairs,
and then it became our duty to sacri-
flee our dignity for the time being to
prevent war and blOOdshed, and the
Governor accepted the proposition,
which leaves everything just where ii
was when the Republicans COM
menced the row. The action of Gov.
Lewelling by averting the numbering
of the sons of the citizens of this
state, who were here as militiamen.
and preventing the sacking of the
town and no doubt the pillage and
robbery of the state treasury and
banks of the city by class Of men
who were here for a purpose and Op-
pOrtunity, will be, in time, commend
ed by all good citizens. The chief of
Police of Kansas City stated in this
mOrningS'S paper, that at least 1000
men Of The worst character of Kansas
City were stationed in this town
awaiting the result,-IOn the same
principle that tOughS set a building
on fire, for robbery, murder and pill
lage.l The POpulists had already
passed bills, to be tested in the courts,
and there was no reason on earth for
this attack, only to destroy the de-
factO house and brig on revolution
and throw the blame on the Populist.
We say let the courts settle it and
then let the people be the judges.
