The bill to compel non resident
owners of real estate to pay taxes,
should receive the support of every
member of the legislature irrespec.
tive of party, for the enforcement OF
such law would materially tighten
the burden of taxation. It is a fact
that the greater part of our delin
quent tax is that assessed against the
property of non residents, who, after
allowing their taxes to 60 unpaid a
number of years, are able to compro-
mise at a large discount. The reve-
nue. thus lost has to be made up by
increased tax levies and is thus paid
by the resident property owners who,
as a rule, pay their taxes each year.

A New Game Law.

Every legislature changes the
game laws and this is to be no excep-
ton. The house judiciary commit.
tee has reported bill which pro
vides for the shooting of grouse OF
prairie chickens during September,
October, November and December,
and of quail during the months Of
November and December. -
Except for scientific purposes it
shall be unlawful to hunt, catch or
kill orioles, meadow larks, robins,
blue birds, mocking birds. the thrush,
turtle dove or yellow hammer.
Sportsmen have usually helped
themselves to game which might be
found in hedges, or along public
roadways. This new law provides
penalties for such action, unless the
permission of the owner of the prem
Uses which the road adjoins, be first
secured. The possession of any Of
tho birds mentioned shall be deemed
prima facle evidence of the violation
of this act. The shipment or sale OF
birds specified is also a violation of
the proposed law, which is also ex-
tended to railroads and express com
panies which shall engage in the
transportation of them.

Some of the farmers complain that
they cannot find market for their hay.
Two years ago prairie hay was worth
$500 per ton on the ground, last year it
sold for lbs, while this winter hay Is
worth practically nothing. A few years
ago the farmers put up no hay except for
their own use. Now their are thousands
of tons in the country and much Of 1t will
probably be allowed to rot on the ground.

1879 and 1897.


In business affairs as we'll as in
other fields history sometimes re-
peats itself. Eighteen years ago the
croakers were as busy as they are
now in railing at the people who had
been predicting an early return of
business prosperity as consequence
of previous legislation. A law was
passed in 1875 setting forth than on
and after January l, 1879, the Sec
Rotary of the Treasury would redeem
in coin all United States legal tender
notes (greenbacks) which were pre-
sented at the Office of the Assistant
Treasurer of the United States in
New York City, in certain sums (not
less than $5O). This was what was
called the resumption of specie pay
ments. It went into operation as di-
rected by the act of Congress. at the
beginning of the year 1879.
Soon after 1879 began, the grum-
blers, who had. chiefly been opponents
of the resumption law, started out to
ask, as the pessimists are now doing,
where were the good times that were
to come as consequence of that act.
eve have been told for several years
past" they said, in substance, "that
this piece of magic legislation would
instantly light up furnaces, set the
wheels of idle mills in motion, create
q larger and better market for the
labor of workers OF all sorts and for
the produce of the farmer, and make
everybody prosperous and happy.
This law has been in operation now
an entire month, greenbacks can be
exchanged for gold at par. and nation
al bank notes are as good as either.
We have everything which the re-
sumptionists wanted, yet the thing
which they promised has not ap
peared. Why is prosperity still alb
sent?'
At the present moment the croak-
ers are equally impatient and un-
reasonable. They say that the in.
crease in the silver currency was
stopped in November, 1898; that tee
movement to resume it in larger vol
ume was defeated in the same month
of 1896. and yet the business boom is
not in sight. But the parallel be-
tween February, 1879, and the pres
ent month is not quite complete. The
legislation which had been sought
had gone into operation at the earlier
date. but in the present case it is still
distant. Until the revenue deficit is
abolished and adequate protection
furnished for such industries as need
it, all of which will be provided by
the tariff act soon to be passed, bust
ness uncertainty will not entirely
end and the financial revival will not
be radical and permanent. Even
when the grumblers were most vo-
ciferous, however, a few weeks after
the resumption act went into effect,
the business improvement had begun,
and for several years the country had
greater trade activity than it had
ever previously known. Already,
too, as a consequence of the defeat
of the assault on the country's finan-
cial system last November and in an
ticipation of the remedial legislation
expected few months hence, feel
ing of confidence pervades the bust
ness community, which will be fol
lowed by a general industrial awak
ening when the revenue act is placed
upon the statute book. Globe-Dem

EDITORIAL NOTES.

4HE DIdOl0y .418ttlu O61 last ul&uC,
in New York City, was a grand sue
cess. The costumes wore not as
transparent as newspaper accounts
gave, though the attenuated suits
were hardly in keeping with the in
clemency of the weather. We have a
special wire informing us that Mr..
Elisha Dyce, Jr., led the cotillion,
and Mrs. Bradley Martin was the
partner of this leader in the dance,
whose grace and consummste art
won for him the admiration of the
400. The Astors and Fishers, the
Van Cortlandts, the Misses Gerry,
and others were present. and too
numerous to mention. It was a
grand affair, and the Dodge City
guests enjoyed it immensely.
SECRETARY francis has given orders
to consolidate number of pension
agencies, and locate the Topeka pen
sion offices at st. Louis. The order
has been approved by the President.
MIR. Francis does this in the interest
of economy, and made possible by
by a law governing the disbursing
of pensions, approved March %, 1896.
The change will not take place until
September LIST next, when the Repub-
lican politicians can prevail upon a
suspension of the order.
''SHoRT grass country" it seems,
has come to stay, as an appellation to
this region of short heritage and
abundant politicians.
The latest move on the political
checker-board, is the announcement
that Mike Sutton, Of Dodge City, is
being pushed for appointment as
United States Marshal of Kansas.
Mr.. Sutton knows nothing about the
use of his name, and it il not an Of
fee that he desires; but should he get
it, he would make an excellent officer.
PROSPERITY is coming, and the con-
diions are right for it.
The legislature at Topeka has not
done much yet. About the close of
the session the bills will be run
through, and it is probable some per-
nic;ous laws will be enacted. The
Pops are divided on the railroad bill.
1t is more thon probable that money
is the wedge that is entering into the
Populist division.

If they massacre Christians. as the
Christian powers are supporting the
sultan against the so-called rebeIlious
subjects.
This has caused decidedly bad i'm
preston in diplomatic circles in Con-
stantinople, and gives additional ex-
planat1on of the determined stand.
which the British ambassador has un-
doubtedly assumed, as well as showing
clearly how the sultan and his advis-
ers regard the so-called concert" of
the powers. They know that 1t does
not exist except as a haekneyed term.
and they feel it can never exist so long
as the map of Europe is not radically
changed.
In the meanwhile preparations for
war on a large scale are steadily being
pushed forward and the report of a
possible agreement between Greece and
Turkey on the. basis of the appoint
ment of Prince George. of Greece as
high commissioner Of Crete, was fol-
lowed by the issuing this morning of
a special trade calling out for active
service forty -four battaIfons of the re-
serves Of the second army corps, and
also summoning to the colors the whole
contingent of 1897.
The Turks believe that war with
Greece will break out sooner or later,
o1A0 A1Cy al themselves Win
the belief that, If they follow out the
recommendations of the powers, friend
ly to Turkey, the armies of the sultan
will be permitted to cross the Greek
frontiers of Macedonia and Epirus
when the right moment arrives and
push on to Athens, thus wiping the
poor little kingdom of Greece off the
face of the globe. This explains the
restraints put upon the Turkish COM
manders on the Greek frontier. They
have been instructed not to cross the
Greek frontier at present, under any
circumstances, not even if attacked.
The whole blame for an outbreak of
hostilities must be thrown upon Greece,
that is the programme, and then who
can forbid the Turk from chastising
the little kingdom?
But there are slips between the cup
and the lip, and the wheels of diplo-
macy are revolving might and day in

cate Eastern question without blood
shed. The future, however, from this
city, looks very threatening, and tha
outcome obscure

says that all kinds of rumors are cur
rent there as to the expected rupture
of the European concert" The danger
OF delaying a definite solution of the
crisis increases daily. The Crown
Prince Constantine is expected to start
in few days for the Greek camp at
Larissa, and the risk Of a serious out
break is becoming more and more in
tense. The volunteers at Arta has been
officially confirmed. Other incidents OF
the same character must be expected.
Neither Greece nor Crete has bene-
flied much in the past by compliance
with European behests, and unless
some visible proof Is given of the COM
plete abolition of Turkish rule in Crete,
the country will not be satisfied. 1t is
alleged that the reserves will refuse to
come out on a future occasion unless
satisfaction is obtained now for Greek
sacrifices.
The Ephemeris, which is obviously
inspired by the court, confirms the
statement that the sultan offered to al
low Prince George to administer Crete
in return for the payment of a tribute
to the Porte, but that the powers
stopped negotiations. 1t is believed that
Germany and Austria did their utmost
to prevent such a friendly arrange

attacked and burned the greater part
of the village of Blanquizal, near Man

the next day. The local garrison was
at once reinforced, and when the Gu

pated at Athens.
ATHENS, March 24.-The Greek gov
ernment is about to address another
protest to the powers against the
blockade Of the island of Crete and
a formal Reputation of all the re-
sponsibility for any consequence to
which it may give rise. The newspa-
pers which represent the ministerial
opposition in the boule denounce the
George as a betrayal of Hellenic in
terests. 1t is now believed in official
circles that the powers will shortly en-
force coercive measures against
Greece. A collective note has been ad-
dressed to the government demanding
the recall of the Greek troops from
the frontier, and threatening that in
the event of the refusal of Greece to
comply with this demand the powers
will blockade the Greek ports near the
frontier.
A dispatch from Canea, Island of
Crete says that the insurgent COM
mander-inchief at Akotriri this morn
ing referred the proposal of the pow
ers to grant autonomy to Crete to the
various leaders of the insurgent forces,
who had assembled from different
parts of the island. The Cretan lead
ers unanimously declared that only
two issues were possible-the annexa~
tion of the Island of Crete to Greece,
or fighting until death ends the strug
gle for the union.
Startling reports are in circulation
here regarding the numerical strength
of Turkish troops on the frontier. For
instance, one report has it the Turks
have concentrated 10000 troops on the
frontiers of EpiruS alone. The report
is not believed in military circles.

and thoroughly discussed the matter,
after which dispatches were sent by
those present to the capitals of the
powers they represent. Although the
result of this meeting has not been al
lowed to become generally known in
departmental circles here, the opinion
prevails that, unless the ambassadors
put forth definite threats of coercion,
IL the event of the failure Of the sultan
to adopt prompt measures to prevent
further masSacres in Armenia, there is
absolutely no hoppe Of improving the
situation as it has been so frequently
"intimated to the sultan that ne
must reform that he now pays little
or no attention to such communica-
tiCns.
In we'll informed political circles 1t
is generally believed that, if fresh out
breaks occur. public opinion in Great
Britain, France and Italy will compel
the governments of the countries men
toned to change entirely their atti-
tude on the Cretan question, not only
towards Crete, but in regard to Greece
which might mean the lifting of the
blockade so far as these powers are
concerned, and their positive refusal to
take part in the proposed blockade
deed, it is directly intimated that this
proposition has already been pracu-
cally abandoned by the three powers
referred to- not only because such
step is likely to force Greece into hos
tilities against Turkey, but because
the sultan, with true Eastern cunning,
has taken advantage of the blockade
of Crete by the fleets Of the powers
and the bombardment Of the insurgents
by the foreign warships and the as
sistance given to the Turks by the
foreign marines, to place himself an1
his government in an entirely new
light before the populace here and
elsewhere in the Ottoman empire.
An official communique was ad-
dressed by the Turkish government
to the Turkish newspapers and pro-
vtncial officials yesterday, representing
that the course adopted by the powers
in the Cretan affair was an example
of the success of the sultan in that
direction and intimating that he has
full support of the powers with their
fleets and armies in the repressive
measures which he may choose to
adopt against the Christians in his do
minions This amounts practically to
informing the Mussulmans that they
have nothing to fear from the powers,
