PEOPLEWANT GREENBACKS
Mr. Gage Says and You Can't Change
Their Minds

Washington Jan. 18.-During the seS-
sion of the house currency committee
yesterday Mr.. Mitchell of New York,
called attention to the provision OF the
Gage bill for the accumulation OF
greenbacks in the treasury for the pur-
nose of preventing the endless chain"
Mr.. Gage said that as applied to the
government the endless chain was
prejudical, because the demand habil-

is inadequate to redeem promptly and

of what he hoped to see ultimately ac-

It would. he said. be a condition of

law so as to prevent such evils as might
arise, and with the entire elimination
of the United States government from

why not accomplish this now?'
asked Mr.. Walker
Theoretically there is no reason
why it should not be done now; prac-
tically there are many reasons. The
predispOsitiOn of the people is in favor
of government notes. 1 believe the
economic loss to the people from this
system, although unknown, outweighs
the narrow advantage of the mere saw
ing of interest secured by these gov
eminent notes. You cannot change
the minds of the people. They are
timid and suspicious of bank note is
sues. They disbelieve that anyone
can uphold a system such as I have
scheduled without selfish and sordid
motives. They fear it involves hazard
and loss. They recall the period of
wild cat banks. 1t is desirable there

FRENCH CAN'T COME IN.
Denied the Right to Intervene in the
Foreclosure of the Kansas Pacific.

New York, Jan. 1s.-Judge Lacombe
mas denied the application made in be-
halt of Josiah B. French and others for
TelleI and leave to intervene in a suit
brought by J. Pierpont Morgan and
others against the Union Pacific Rail
way company and its receivers.
French and his associates are credit

pany by reason of their ownership of
certain bonds of the I.eavenworth To-
peka and Southwestern Railroad com
Pahy' payment on which was guaran-
teed by the Union Pacific company.
DefauIt was made by the Leavenworth
Topeka and Southwestern Railway
company on Jan 1, 1894. Prior to this
date the Union Pacific company had
passed into the hands of a receiver.
Payment under the guarantee was de-
manded and refused.
The suit by J. Pierpont Morgan and
Co, and others, against the Union Pa
ci1c and its receivers, was to foreclOse
a SO-called collateral trust agreement
dated August 1, 1891, by which the
Union Pacific company borrowed from
certain individuals and corporations a
considerable sum of money for which
it pledged certain stocks and bonds as
security.
The decree already entered directs
the sale of the collateral securities.
Judge LacOmbe holds that J. Pierpont
Morgan and the other trustees have a
right to bid at the sale of the securities
OF the Union Pacific as representative
OF creditors who advanced money upon
the securities, and that the trustees
may also participate with the special
master in conducting the sale. He also
says that the lots of securities first of
fered should not exceed 500. 900 in par
value of bonds, and that after bids
have been obtained for separate lots in
each class, all the stock or bonds of
that class should be offered for sale as
a whole, and if the bids therefore ex-
coed the aggregate bids of the separate
lots. it should be accepted The further
decisions, which include a seven days
notice of the sale, Judge Lacombe says,
may be embodied as a supplemental or

CROWDING VESTIBULES
Not Acknowledgements Baker Calls
Attention to a Growing Nuisance.

Not Allowable-Preside Baker Calls
Attention to a Growing Nuisance.
To the Editor of the State Journal:
Dear Sir;-I am in receipt of the fol-
lowing letter from an influential citi-
Sen:
Mr.. G. G. Baker, Topeka, Kan.
Dear Sir:-I notice frequently, and I
hear the ladies complain of the fact of
the vestibules being crowded with men
or boys even when the cars are empty.
This certainly is a great inconvenience
to ladies getting off or on the cars, as
we'll as to gentlemen, and should not be
permitted. I believe 1 should either
compel men not to go in and take their
seats or get off the car. I think that
much is due to the general travelling
public, especially to women and child
rem.
With kind regards, these suggestions
are humbly made.
Yours very truly NJ
have received several such sugges-
tons, both by mail, and personally,
from other Observant persons, and
fully appreciate the value and justice of
the same. Gentlemen should not ex-
clude other persons, and especially la
dies, from free access to, or egress from
the VeStibules. Many persons who have
no special reason for standing in the
vestibules do so from habit. I trust
that out patrons will appreciate the
business of this and will desist from
crOwding the vestibules unnecessarily
Your truly,
CLIFFORD c. BAKER,
President.
