we want at the present time"
w hat measures will you favor.
Il shall not try to make q record
while I am in congress. but shall try
TO favor the measures 7 consider for the
best interests of the country If 1t is
not possible To obtain all that is Tor

what"
DO you think that there will have to
be further issues of bOnds2"
Yes, SO long as this country tries to
maintain the gold standard we VIII
have to issue bonds. If the free coin
age of silver was put in effect we would
return to the payment of our 0bliga-
tons in the coin that we contracted to
pay them in and I do not think that
there would be these raids on the treas
ury. Secretary Foster set the example
and he has been followed by the other
secretaries. and 50 long as this c0ntin-
ues do not think we can get around the
issuance Of bonds NO tariff law win
keep the surplus in the treasury.
What do you think of matters In
this state2"
Il might say that all this talk that is
going on in the eastern press is the re-
of this state that have for political rea-
sons done more to ruin the credit of
Kansas than anything else They have
been advertising the state as ruined be-
cause there were people in it that did
not belong to their party The people
Of the state are not alarmed because
the POpulists have come into power
They know what they are
There is no law in this state which
put these loan companies under state
supervision There should be one. Dn-
der the present arrangement people can
organize companies and run them ia
a manner so as 10 cheat eastern invest
ors and when the investors come on the
company for their money they find that
it is worthless. If the state would pass
some kind of law requiring the COM
panies to deposit a fund for the pro-
lection Of its guaranteed loans it would
do more to build up the credit of the
state and restore confidence than any
one other measure that T can think of.
1 have advised our people to be con-
sentative in the laws that they pass. I
think that they Will Our legislature
this time viii be a strong one and viii
not do anything that we viii beashamed
of or have cause to regret I think that
the adminlstrati0 Of the new officers
viii be economical and c0nserva tive and
for the best interests of the state. and
that the large majority of the people Of
the state and others who watch it viii
be satisfied with IT.

WHAT JIM ORR HEARD.
straws Gathered Up by an
Atchison Man in Topeka


Jim Orr, who was in Topeka yester-
day, thinks there is danger ahead for
the Repu blican party Of Kansas. Orr
regards GOvernor-elecr Leedy as a man
of good common sense, and believes his
administration viii be a business one
If il is as conservative as now indi-
Gated, Orr believes that the Republi-
cans viii have an uphill pull in 1888
The tendency among the POpulist
leaders is TO maintain the fusion which
led them to victory. The old hOgglsh-
ness of four years ago is not apparent,
and it is the purpose OF the present
administration TO distribute its patron
age with the preservation Of the alli-
anCe closely in view.
The free silver Republicans and the
free silver Democrats viii be tossed an

nouncing himself as being on the track
of Railroad Commissioner Joe Love-
the Democratic member of the board
he admitted that Lowe had gone out
and worked in the campaign at the
risk of losing his place in the case Of
Republican success but he urged as
reason why he should not be retained
that he had not been in sympathy with
the Populist policy on the railroad ques-
ton. He said that Lowe had done alb
solutely nothing 10 bring the question
Of the powers of the board OF railroad
commissioners before the supreme
court, thing that has been desired by
P0pulists for two years.

GOLD CERTIFICATES.
The Issue Of Them May be Resumed
Soon


Washington, Nov 25-The secretary
of the treasury is considering the ques-
ton Of resuming the issue of gold GER
tificates which was suspended in 1893,
when the gold reserve first fell below
the S100 900 600 point. The issue Of these
certificates was suspended g a means
of acquiring gold in the treasury. Be-
fore that it has been the custom of the
treasury to issue certificates on the de-
post of gold. but such gold deposited
did not become part of the gold reserve
BY suspending the issue of those cer-
tificates. many holders of gold rather
than hold it exchanged il for legal tend
the ruling Of the department being gold
purposes, but the treasury on receipt Of
it to the gold reserve. AS long as the
treasury adhered to its policy of re-
deeming legal tenders and treasury
notes in gold the holders of such notes
could obtain gold on demand as readily
on them as on gold certificates How
ever. gold holders would prefer the gold
certificates. Since the election and the
gradual increase Of the gold reserve
such holders believe that there is no rea-
son why the issue of gold certificates
should not be resumed.
The matter is now before Secretary
Carlisle and probably viii be decided
upon the return of Assistant Secretary
Curtis from New Xork-It IS understood
that Mr. Carlisle IS not favCrablE dis
posed toward the resumption The isl
sue of currency certificates under the
act of 1872 never has been suspended
