They Meet and Talk Over Currency Bill
Matters.


They Meet and Talk Over Currency Bill
Matters.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-Much more
significant than the Democratic house
caucus yesterday afternoon was the
conference which took place between
Senator German aud Speaker Crisp.
The leaders Of the majority in the two
branches of congress came together to
see if it was possible to agree upon a
currency bill which could become a
law. As the result of much canvassing
Of the situation the two leaders con-
cluded that the only proposition which
this congress could pass must embrace
the following features:
First. An issue of s5OO,OOOGOO of long
term, low-rate bonds at ~ per cent, if
possible, but not over 3 per cent.
Second. These bonds to be sold to the
banks at not less than par, and be the
basis OF circulation up to their par
value
Third. The legal tenders to be retired
and cancelled as the bonds are paid out.
Fourth. One-ffth of this issue of
s5O0,0O0,000 to be retained in the treas
ury and made available for current ex-
penses when needed.
Fifth. Silver to be bought and coined
at the rate of s5O,O0O,OOO a year.
SIXTH. No bank notes to be issued of
less denomination than $40.
Seventh. ALI denominations below
$50 to be silver certificates and silver.
Eighth. Silver certificates to be re-
deemable in silver.
Senator German informed Mr.. Crisp
that he was sure this was the only
proposition which there was any
chance of passing the senate. No pro
gramme was outlined. No agreements
were reached as to when such com
promise would be offered.

Harvest it in sarthmade reservoirs
even as you place your wheat in vel
built bin.
While there are numerous good re-
seryoir sites in every county vest Of
the hundFedth meridian and rain
comes sufficiently often to justify their
use, it is also true that those counties
are better off in relation to the sheet
water beneath .he high prairie than
the counties that lie east Of thatmeri-
dian. But these last counties are richer
IN reservoir sites than the more YES
tern part of the state. They have
deeper draws and more clay shales
suitable for building the dam. Also
these more eastern counties have more
rainfall In the respect therefore of
storage Of storm waters the counties
between the 9Sth and hundredth meri-
dianS are very favoTably oircumstan-
ced. Barber county and Clarke on the
south, Ellsworth aud Russell in the
center, Smith and Osborne on the
north are but illustrations Of the whole
region. Further east still to the Mis-
souri, line the advantages increase.
There is a fine pool Of 50 acres in Wy
andOtee county that can be made avail
able for irFigating the KaW bottom. Il
has a substantial dam 800 feet long. In
Greenwood county another has recent
" been put in and is straightway to be
used for irrigation Let the good work
go on; those who need it most-the
western half of the state should go at
it most earnestly.
When the sun in May or June has
been hot, the ground thirsty, the air
dusty, we see with JOY the gathering of
clouds in the heavens above. When
the thunder comes aud the rain des-
cends, and sheets of water seem to
cross the fields and streets, we look
on well pleased from oJr shelter and
we think of the million bushels of grain
made that day. When the storm is
gone, the sky serene, the air delightful
we rejoice again in all the blessings of
sense and anticipations Of plenty and
the thought that there will be no COM
planning in our streets. How much
more the enjoyment, how much surer
the anticipation if we could after the
storm go forth aud see in every coun-
ty thousand OF 10000 acres of i'm
pounded water for use in the scorching
days Of July,
Therefore, beloved brethren, dam,
your draws.

Presented to the Legislature Wednesday
Afternoon,

Presented to the Legislature Wednesday
Afternoon,
TOPEKA. Jan. 9. Governor Lewelling
sent his message 10 the senate and the
house at , o'clock to day. 1t was very
able document and contained 1900
words, making it the longest message
ever presented to a Kansas legislature.
On state affairs the governor informs
the legislature that they must make
provision for the payment of bonds in
the aggregate of S6S5,0O0 which mature
in the next four years, which will leave
100000 which mature in 1908 and 1909
Owing to the existing financial depres-
sion he advises that no appropriation
be made except for immediate necessi-
ties. Money taken out of the school
fund in the purchase Of worthless bonds
should be restored by Legislative enact
ment. He recommends the repeal of
act creating the state board of Chart
able institutions, and that the insane
asylum should be governed by a board
of trustees, and a superintendent APP
pointed by the senate and house.
He estimates that Che people of Kan
sas have paid nonresident insurance
companies 1881, zoos in 1898 and home
companies only 5233,660. He recon.
mends that foreign companies be ex-
Guided aud home companies built up
He recommends that property be as
sessed at its actual value aud a string
eut law passed to this effect. On the
prohibitory question he says that the
law is nulliRed in the larger cities by
public sentiment, aud this being the
case the remedy for the evil is to elm
mate profit from its sale by making the
government the sole dispenser He de
clares that the attempt Of the admins
to suppress lottery in the state was
hampered by the opposition OF the
communities in which they we're sooa-
ed, aud cites fights that were made on
his every action. He asks the creation
of an agricultural bureau to correct
many things that agricultural people
now suffer.
The Office OF the state veterinarian
he thinks should be abolished and that
the exhorbitant charges by stock yards
and elevators should be ali incentive to
place such institutions under state
control.
He adberes TO the principles set forth
in his famous tramp circular and asks
that laws making poverty crime be
/. repealed. He reviews the late legisla-
tive war at length and uphoids his ac-
in every particular.
TIE REPUBLIC regrets its inibility to
publish the message, as it is without
doubt the most able document ever
{ presented to the Kansas legislature.

Section Z. This act shall take effect

THE BENEFITS.
Petitions viii be circulated through
out the county for signers, asking that
the legislature pass this bill at once.
Although most people are unalterably
opposed to issuing bonds of any des-
cription, this bill will call for bonds
of such a nature that the benefits &C
cruing will advance every interest of
the county and at the same time will
not put the taxpayer to any expense.
1t will help many to put in an irriga-
ting plant that could not otherwise do
SO, and will cause outside parties to
come in and invest in our lands now
lying idle.
The people Of lGoodland and Sherman
countyare not of the sort that will take
defeat. Reverses only serve as an in
centive to greater efforts. The hard
ships and disappointments of the past
two years have not disheartened the
sturdy pioneers who made this county
their home, They realize, however,
that they must change. tactics. In the
years that are fruitful no soil will yield
SO bountifully, and in barren years no
soil can yield less. This condition can
and will be remedied by irrigation.
The above prospective bill will do
much toward completing the bulwarks
of irrigation that will withstand the
fercest assaults of drought and hot
winds, and assure our people of plenty
for their subsistence in years like the
past two.
