TopEKA, Kan, Dec. 1. Throughout
the campaign that ended in d republican
victory in this state, John J, ingalls,
declared that he would not be caldi-
date for the United States senate-not
now. But be has always left the infer
epce that he will be candidate to sue.
cced Senator PETER, who defeated him
four years ago. Outside intuences, how
ever. are beginning to have their effect,
and now there is evidence of decided
sentiment in favor of the election Of
ingalls, at the coming session OF the
Legislature.
This might not manifest itself if it
were not for the fact that kansans are
possessed of great local pride, While
many of those who now express willing
ness to urge Ingalls, election are not
friendly to him personally, they believe
that his election would be the best thing
for the state, because with him in the
senate the state would be talked about.
The four avowed candidates for the
senate are now engaged in an active
campaign, which bids fair 70 become
bitter and acrimonious. None of
them commands any enthusiasm, and the
election OF any one of them would not
give general satisfaction to republicans.

CRISP ON FINANCE.
The Speaker Thinks That Something
Should BE Done.

Should BE Done
WASHINGTON, Dec, 4.--Spealer Crisp
regards it as desirable that something
| should be done at the present session of
congress for the permanent adjustment
of our financial system. Whether such
Il thing can be accomplished is another
question. Speaking today Judge Crisp
said; II don't know what can be done
in the way Of Legislation at this session,
but fear not as much aG We should like.
1t is very important that there should be
some legislation on finance | am not
prepared to predict what. # anything,
may be done at this session, but it must
be apparent to everyone tha' tee present
situation should not be permitted t. 70

Earnest Protest of Pacific S1opers sainst
the Funding Bill.
SAN Francisco, Dec. a. The Exami-
ner's monster petition against the fund
ing of the debts of the Pacific railroads.
as proposed by the Reilly bill will be
presented to congress by Representative
James G. Mcguire.
The petition is signed with over 2O0,-
600 names, and has been bound in two
large volumes, The first volume con-
tains only the California lists, compris
ing 152 10 names. The second volume
is devoted to the Pacific coast states and
territories and scattering names from
the middle and eastern states. The vol
umes were shipped to Congressman Ma.
guire at Washington.
81 have no reason to believe that the
sentiment among the democratic mem
bers Of congress against the funding bill
will be materially changed by anything
that has occurred since the adjourn ment
of congress- said Mr.. Mcguire. "At that
time felt certain tha four-tifths of the
democratic representatives would vote
against the bill If the vote on the 81 900,
900 claim, which was defeated few days
before the adjournment, is any indica-
ton of the position of the members or
the funding bill the proportion of demo-
Gratis voting against twill be larger than
my estimates. As to the republicans, |
was assured that IA large number of those
who voted to pay the claim would not
vote for any funding bill"

OF interest to less than three per cent.
Nothing could be worse or further re-
moved from sensible finance than the
relations existing between the currency
the government has issued, the gold
held for it's redemption and the means
which must be resorted to for the pur-
pose of replenishing such redemption
funds when impaired. Even if the
claims upon this fund we're confined to
the obligations originally intended, and
il the redemption of these obligations
meant their cancellation, the fund would
be very small. But these obligations,
when received and redeemed in gold, are
not cancelled, but are reissued and may
do duty many times by way Of drawing
gold from the treasury. Thus we have
an endless chain in operation, constantly
depicting the treasury's gold and never a
final rest. As if this was not bad
enough, we have by statutory declara-
tion, that it is the policy of the govern
ment to maintain the parity between
gold and silver, accentuating the force
and momentum of this exhausting pro.
cess and added largely to the currency
obligation claiming this peculiar gold
redemption. Our small gold reserve is
thus subject to drain from every side.
The demands that increase our danger
also increase the necessity of protecting
this reserve against depletion, and it is
most unsatisfactory to know that the
protection afforded is only temporary
paliation. 1t is perfectly and palpably
plain that the only way under present
conditions by which this reserve when
dangerously depleted Can be replenished
is through the issue and sale of the
bonds of the government for gold and
yet congress has not only thus far de-
clined to authorize the issue of bonds
best suited to such purpose, but there
seems disposition in some quarters to
deuy both the necessity and power for
the issue of bonds at all | cannot for a

are deliberately willing that their gov
ernment should default in it's pecuniary
obligations or that its financial opera
tions should be reduced to silver basis
At any rate / should not feel that my
duty was done if omitted any effort !
could make to avert such calamity. As
long, therefore, as no provision is made
for final redemption or the putting aside
for the currency obligation now used to
repeatedly and constantly draw from the
government its gold, and as long as nc
better authority for bond issues is al
lowed than at present exists, such au
thority as it becomes necessary to main
tain sufficient gold reserve and ir
abundant time to save the credit Of oul
country and make good the tinancia
declarations of our government will bt

Efforts are being made in the direction
of a gradual reduction OF the number of
Indian contract schools, 80 that in a
comparatively short time they may give
way altogether to government schools,
and it is hoped that the change may be
SO gradual as to be perfected without
too great expense to the government and
with due regard to investments by those
who have have established and are main
tanning such contract schools.

CARLISLE'S PLAN ENDORSED.

Questions relating to our banks and
currency are closely connected with the
subject just referred to, and they also
present some unsatisfactory features.
Prominent among them are the lack Of
elasticity in our currency circulation and
its frequent concentration in financial
centers when it is most needed in other
parts of the country. The absolute di-
vorcement of the government from
the business of banking is the ideal re-
lationship Of the government to the cir
culation OF the currency of the country.
This condition cannot be Immediately
reached. but as step in that direction
and as means of securing more
elastic currency and obviating other OBJ.
jections to the present arrangement of
bank circulation, the secretary of the
treasury presents in his report a scheme
modifying the present banking laws and
providing for the issue of circulating
notes by state banks free from taxation
under certain limitations. The secretary
explains his plan so plainly, aid its adj
vantages are developed by him with such
remarkable clearness that any effort on
my part to present argument in its sup
port would be supertluos. shall, there
fore, content myself with an unqualified
endorsement of the secretarys proposed
change in the law.
1t is quite likely that this scheme may
be usetully amended in some Of its de-
tails, but ! am satisfied it furnishes a
basis for very great improvement in our
present banking and currency system.
| conclude this coummunicat' IN fully
appreciating that the responsibility for
all legislation affecting the people of the
United States rests upon their represen-
tatves in congress, and assuring them
that. whether in accordance with the
recommendation have made or not,
shall be glad to cooperate IN pertecting
any legislation that tends to the pros
perity and welfare of our country.
