One week from today there WILL 1t is
expected, be not less than one hundred
thousand Knights of Pythias within the
District of Columbia. and with them and to
see them will be other thousands, as to
whose number no estimate can now be
made. The knights will, TO a considerable
extent. be the guests of the city. for, while
they are here to attend mainly to the bust
ness relating to their order which compels
an annual convention, they will come,
nevertheless. in response to a legitimate in
vitation formally presented and warmly
urged. In order that the knights may be
suitably entertained, citizens committees
have Joined hands with the local Pythian
organizations and have done more than was
expected Of them in the planning of pleas
ures and the attending to details. For a
while there was slackness in the matter of
finance; the public had not been brought tc

own reputation and to the fair fame of the
national capital thorough canvass was
then made. and the response was crafty
Ing, although in the aggregate the sum
promised was scarcely sufficient to carry
out the Acknowledgement views Of those
who have charge of the entertainment. But
many of the promises made to canvassers
are as yet unfulfilled, although the time for
payment has long gone by. Those citizens
who made pledges should redeem them at
once; those other citizens who have not sub
scribed even their names ought not longer
to delay. The citys credit is involved, and
II behooves every public-spirited man to do
what Is evidently his duty. Renowned for
its hospitality and with an unapproachable
record for successfully caring for such
gatherings as the Pythian encampment,
Washington's reputation must be thoroughly
maintained in this instance. To those who
look upon ali such matters with a cold bust
ness eye 1t may be urged that the invest
nent, even though 1t were twice as large as
1t will be, cannot fail to be financially
profitable. The occasion, which with all its
festivities will extend from Monday morn

for In spite Of hard times-of which Wash

concluding their arrangements for a weeks

The return Of ex-Representative Clover of
Kansas to the republican party is regarded
by many who are intimate with political
movements as the first evidence Of a wave
beneath which much of western populism
Will for a time vanish. Mr.. Clover was the
original Farmers Alliance politician of
Kansas. and under his leadership a large
proportion of the discontented AGRICULTURAL
lists of a great but somewhat eccentric state
babe adieu to the two old parties and
started out to be a party unto themselves
This new party was a decidedly radical sort
of an organization-intent on all manner of
reform. much Of which had before been
tried elsewhere without any truly good re-
suits being achieved Old policies were to
be completely cast aside. old doctrines for
gotten. old leaders forced into obscurity: all
things were to be new and clean and in
every way desirable. Thousands Of those
who followed the banner of the Farmers
Alliance were as conscientious in their al
legiance as John Brown was to the cause
Tor which he, without fiinching, gave up the
life that was undoubtedly dear to him:
they had suffered much from many kinds
of natural disadvantages, and from yolun-
tarfly and foolishly assumed Indebtedness
and were thoroughly possessed Of the belief
that the time had come when, by the ap-
pfcation OF attractive but unsound theories
persstently presented by specious dema-
gogues, they would compel millennial
changes and save the country from those
whom they believed threatened it's very ex-
istence. How is 1t with the party of clean
Illness today? Hear the testimony Of ex-
Representative Clover. who was the populist
Moses of Kansas. and who had everything
TO gain by remaining In the ranks Of the
professionally -disaffected- He says: The
party to which thousands Of honest farmers
in this country have contributed their
money and talents to build up has now be-
come the prey Of political freebooters. 4

who was Secretary Of the Senate OF
New Jersey in lsi5. 1915 and lsi7. and n
reporter at the session of the Constitu.
tional Convention in 1874.
Mr.. Dodd has a remarkable memory
and rscounted scenes that TRANSFERRED
during the time he was Secretary OF the
Senate as readily as II II was yesterday,
The purpose OF the Republicans was to
show, by his testimony, the PRECEDENT es-
tablished during the past nifty years In
organizing the Senate. Mr.. Dodd re.
called the fact that at the Constitutions
Convention there was considerable de.
bate as to the term of A Senator, and II
was finally decided to make II three
years. in order that an old Senator
would have no more p~rerogatires than
a new Senator.

Park on Fifty-ninth street between Fifth

strong point when he said the cost OF
the work would he more than repaid 10
thg city by the increase Of taxable
values OF the property as a result of the
the park engineers estimate being 5000.
Mr.: Myers said that the plan included
the laying out OF a plateau or green
sward on either side Of the road. which
would beautifv instead OF destroy the
place. He assured the Board that II the
road was opened for vehicles one Of ths
first things to he done would he the re
! moval OF the row Of low buildings on the
southwest corner OF Fifty ninth street
and seventh avenue. and the erection
in their place OF d handsome large fiat,
