Grams reunion, an attempt to rival and
belittle the G. A. r. reunion at Leav-

LeaVenWOrth made no effort last year
to rival the reunion at Topeka, though
it would have been an easy matter
here to have mustered a more numer-

The Times misunderstands matters
if it thinks Topeka means to beIittIe or
detract from the Leavenworth reunion
For that matter. Topeka expects to
send a larger delegation to the Leav-

in the state. But last year, the Topeka
committee invited the old soldiers who
attended our Fall Festival to come
again to the Fall Festival of this year
and they will be made the special

to having the official G. A R reunion
but all old soldiers who come to our

TO HELP KING GEORGE.
The Princess of Wales is Worrying
Lord Salisbury.

London, May 3.-There is a persistent
rumor in London today that a serious
disagreement has arisen between the
Princess of Wales and the remainder
of the court over the situation in
Greece. The princess arrived in Eng
land this week from a visit to her faith
er, the king of Denmark who is also
the father as she is the sister, of King
George of Greece.
Ever since the Cretan question was
first raised, the princess has been a
strong partisan of Greece. She took
pains to make her preference publicly
known, when the Daily Chronicle start
ed fund in aid of Greece, by subscrib-
ing to it, eagerly and cheerfully," to
use her own expression
1t is said that since her return from
Copenhagen, the princess has used eve
ry influence in her power to induce the
government to take her brothers part
against the Turkish oppressor, and that
her action in this matter is calculated
to lead to a serious embarrassment.
OF course, it would be a humiliation
to the Danish royal family if King
George were to lose his throne and
there are enough members of that fam
lily in the European courts to exert
great influence to prevent his down
fall.
1t remains to be seen, however. wheth-
er the Princess of Wales has sufficient
influence to affect Lord Salisbury'S pol
icy with regard to Greece.

POPULISTS BANQUET.
Senator Marion Butler Addresses the
Faithful of Massachusetts.

Boston, May 3.-The third annual ban
quet of the Peoples Party of Massa-
chusetts at Arcade hall was attended by
nearly $50 persons. George F. Wash
burn, chairman of the Populist state
committee, presided, and United States
Senator Marion Butler of North Caro-
lima made the principal address of the
evening, reviewing the political situa-
ton and showing how the great funda-
mental principles of the Populist party
are gaining ground with all classes and
conditions of producers and consumers.
In the course of his remarks he said:
THE 5000, 600 labOrers who are at
work on the cotton fields of the south
and the wheat fields of the west must
be protected against foreign pauper Ia
Dor, just the same as the 900, 900 labor
ers who are employed in manufac-
turing This must be done or you will
have no customers for your goods.
I'VE need a true American system for
all American labor and American in
duStry. Neither the Democratic nor
Republican parties have offered US this.
They both offer remedies that are con-
Trajectory. The gold standard and free
trade go logically together
THE farmers and manufacturers of
this country should join hands on at
least two great economic questions.
They should stand solidly for an Amer
lean system of finance and for a just
and equitable system that will protect
all American industry and American
labor. This is the position of the PeO-
pies Party; it is the only logical and
the only true American position

GREEKS AND TURKS.

[ROse Field in Chicago Post.1
Enthusiasm for Grecian supremacy,
which has been tagging little despite
the powerful appeals of Hutchinsonikos
and the overbearing attitude of Henro-
tin Pasha, has been stimulated by the
munificence of a Protestant clergyman,
who has contributed a silver dollar for
the determination of the blind followers
of the prophet Father Phiambolis i'm
mediately bit it, found it was a good
dollar, but we suppose it will be worth
lily devoted to the purposes of the Greek
church militant. At last accounts the
Chicago reserves, first detachment,wer
just out of sight of the New Jersey
coast, bearing toward the Orient, a lit
tie short of the munitions of war, but
constant in mind and strong of heart.
Unless the powers interfere they hope
to be able to reach their native land in
time to take part in the advertised en-
gagement at ThermopyIae, or, at the
worst, in a gallant defense of Athens
Personally we are in entire sympathy
with Greece, but if we were driven to
the pOOl-room at the bayonet's point
we should however reluctantly, put up
a few dollars on Turkey. It is a ter
rible thing to be compelled to bet
against ones own conscience and sym
nathieS.

REDUCE THE VALUATION.
A Taxpayers League to be Organized
at a Meeting Tonight

There will be a meeting at Hamilton
hall tonight for the purpose of form
ing a Taxpayers league" It was in
tended to make the organization several
weeks ago, but the meeting was post
pOned.
The meeting will be held for the pur-
pose of making plans to reduce the
valuation of property in Topeka. M.
Heery, who is one of the promoters of
the movement, said today to a Journal
reporter:
THE valuation of property in Topeka
is much higher than it should be in
comparison with other cities The
heavy taxpayers are anxious to secure
a reduction of the valuation and that
is one reason why this meeting is
called.
I'VE expect to make an organization
of our strongest men who will stand
behind the city council when they are
endeaVoring to secure a reduction of
the taxes, and that will be one of the
purposes of the organization.
1T was enormously reported that the
organization was to be made for the
purpose of fighting the auditorium and
that is not true. The men who are
helping this movement are the men who
will furnish most of the money to build
the auditorium

POPULAR SONGS
[From the Atchison GIobe

IFrOm the AtchiSOn Globe.
The last twenty years have witnessed
a great change in the style of popular
songs. Twenty years ago girls sang
with a cultivated tremulo in theirvoices
about daisy-strewn tombs, the cold,
cold grave, and of those who were wait
ing at heavens gate for their loved
ones yet on earth, and the necessity
of being true. There was a great deal
in these songs about truth and constan-
cy. But oh, what a difference nOWl
The latest popular song has the title,
Mr.. Johnson, Turn Me Loose" There
is nothing about weeping willows and
death in song with such title. "A
New Bully in Town" is running it a
tight race for popularity, and "HO,
Jenny johnson" is close behind. The
text for today's popular songs are the
girl on a bike, the niger and his razor,
the yellow kid and the old black coon.
The old fashioned girl with the hectic
flush, corkscrew curIs and penchant
for pathetic notes has left US in song,
as we'll as in novel. Her atmosphere
was morbid, but the girl who succeeds
her narrowly escapes being vulgar.

WAR ON THE GREENBACKs.

From certain interested quarters is
still urged on the administration the re-
tirement and cancellation of the green
backs and the substitution therefor of
a national bank currency redeemable
in gold. 1t is not improbable, how
ever, that President Mckinley will turn
a deaf ear to such appeals. The plat
form on which he was elected contains
no reference to any such change in the
currency system of the country and the
president is too shrewd a politician
even if he were not looking out for the
peoples interests, to inaugurate any
movement so certain to raise a storm
of disapproval from the masses.
The advocates of the retirement of
the greenbacks seem about to empha-
size their demands by again setting the
endless chain in operation. It is pos
sible that they will exert this form Of
pressure even to the extent of forcing
another issue of bonds, but they will
probably find in that case that they
are not so near the attainment of their
object as they were when Mr.. Cleveland
was president. He. at, least, was will
ing to comply with the wish for the
retirement of the greenbacks but saw
no way of bringing it about.
Commenting editorially on this de-
mand for the placing of the money is
suing function and the redemption in
the hands of the banks, the New York
Journal in a recent issue says:
We have never, however, seen a con-
vincing explanation of what the ma
tiOnal banks would do if upon them fell
the task of furnishing gold for export
by the redemption of their notes, as the
treasury does now. Would they reissue
their notes. and if so, would not the
endless chain" operate to their dtsas-
ter, just as it has to that of the treas
ury? Or would they, as they now urge
the treasury should do, cancel or retire
their notes as fast as paid IN gold? In
the latter event, contraction of the cur
rency rapid and disastrous in its eff
fects. would result, with no power haV-
ing authority to check it. Or would
they repudiate their obligation to pay
gold when it became burdensOme, just
as a few years ago the banks of New
York repudiated their obligation to pay
money? This is the more likely course
for them to adopt, and its adoption
would leave the nation doing business
with a great mass of irredeemable pa
we'll organized association, and subject
to expansion or contraction at the
pleasure and for the profit of the
banks.
With the memory of the clearing
house episode of 1898, when the New
York banks stopped paying money and
issued certificates to the amount of
S37. 100000 fresh in their minds, it is
probable that the people will prefer to
trust the matter OF maintaining the
value of the green backs to the govern
ment a while longer. Even the issuance
of bonds occasionally for the purpose
may be less expensive in the end than
the plan proposed by some ''fnanciers.'

THE PUBLIC DEBT.
Somewhat Decreased Owing to In
creased Cash on Hand.

Washington, May 3.-The monthly
statement of the public debt shows that
at the close of business on April 80 the
debt less cash in the treasury amount
ed to 1895, pa, 1872, a decrease for the
month of S5.71S.O68, which is principally
accounted for by a corresponding in
crease in the cash. The debt proper
Independent of the cash in the treas
ury, was increased during the month
by 1926, S49, on account of the deposits
of national bank notes in excess of re-
demptiOns.
The debt is classified as follows: In
terest bearing debt, $S47, 1865, O3O; debt
on which interest has ceased since ma
turity, 81, 1858, $50; debt bearing no in
terest, 1917, 615. 789; total 81, 226, 1874, $40.
This, however, does not include $685.

equal amount of cash in the treasury
The cash in the treasury is classified
as follows: Gold, $3.50, 1872. SSS; silver,

Topeka will raise money to build that
long talked of auditorium by giving a
series of concerts. The initial one in the
series was attended last night by 1900
people. who paid % cents each to hear
their neighbOrs get up and sing. That
is one thing about Topeka that every
Kansas town admires: the people hang
together and work together and actu-
ally think that their neighbOrs can
sing.-AtchisOn Globe.
Atchison people ought to profit by
Topeka's example. If so much time
were not spent in making fun of each
other in Atchison there would be more
friendly feeling and AtchisOn would
have more enjoyment. One of the best
things in Topeka is the faith in each
other that Topeka people have. We
think we are all pretty nice folks over

IN THE PARIS SALON.
Son of Elk Senator Washburn Has a
Worthy Painting.

Minneapolis. May 3-Cadwallader
Washburn, son of ex-senator Wash
burn. has had a picture accepted for
the French salon of 1897 in Paris, and
represents the younger school of Amer
lean painters. Mr.. Washburn is at
present in Spain, whittier he sailed last
year with his master, William NJ. Chase,
and fellow artists.
He has been working in Madrid and
southern Spain and has produced a
work which was worthy of admission
in the greatest exhibition of art of the
year in Paris. The subject is typical
of the locale in which the artist has
been painting. The principal theme is a
Moor.
