make their homes here, we cannot be
lieVe that any citizen wishes to strike
a blow at the town prosperity. The
Journal has done business among the
people of Topeka too long to believe
there is a single man in Topeka who
would knowingly do anything against
the welfare of the town.
Mistakes in judgment are made some
times, but no TOpekan ever turned his
hand against Topeka with the intention
of hurting her. At home and abroad
our people have always stood by their
town. There never was a city with
more civic pride than this one. No
man viii permit any outsider to asperse
her.
Topeka! may she always be right;
but Topeka right or wrong.
Let all the 81 600 people of Topeka
rally to her defense and to increase her
glory among the cities of the land. Let
US receive the people who are coming
to visit US with smiling faces and open
arms. If there is a skeleton in the
closet, as there is always said to be in
every well regulated family, let us lock
the closet door and throw away the
key We are going Ito have COM
pany.' lots of it-perhaps a hundred
thousand of it-and we can't afford to
be found in a state of anger and dis
order when they arrive We want our
best company manners. We want the
larder full so that none of cur guests
shall complain of a lack of entertain
ment. Once a year we can afford to
spend $4,000 TO entertain the peOple u

Now, don't let any citizen of Topeka
make an excuse for not doing his share
toward making the Fall Festival of 1897
grander. bigger and better than the
one of 1896.
Quit sulI1ing. Sulks never built
new business house or put one dollar
into the pocket of any man. Enthusl-
asm is what builds cities, ammasses
wealth. lifts up the human race and
keeps it marching on the road to a
higher civilization. Enthusiasm is
what makes life worth living. Get IN
terested in some great project and keep
interested in it. Spend your money
for the good it viii do, and you Will
find that doing that does yourself more
good than anybody else. You get more
genuine happiness out of life than by
any other means. Last years Fan
Festival made the people of Topeka
merry and cheerful for whole year
and this years festival will increase the
fund of municipal cheerfulness we
can't afford to miss it. So let US all
puu together until we see the grand

gorgeous success that $1,000 willing ana

WILL BE A FIGHT.
Movement to Depose Married Color
ed Teachers Will be Met.

The movement to depose the coIored
married women teachers in the city
schools is creating no end of talk
among the colored people and the move
ment will be met by counter one quite
as strong.
Dennis Hope denies that he has any
thing to do with the matter He said
today; L had never heard of a meet
ing being held for the purpose named.
Aside from their education and moral
qualifications it is immaterial to me
who are appointed teachers, since I
have no children to send to school. If
1 had any intention to make a fight on
married women teachers I would make
it general and not select Mrs. Guy and
Mrs. JamisOn, when there are scores
of others
W. L Eagleson says that he had no
thought of making a fight on but two
of the teachers. He says it will apply
to all colored married teachers and he
proposes to continue the fight.

EDMUNDS FOR SPAIN.
The Vermonter is McKinIey's Choice
for the Spanish Mission

Washington, May 25-Having defln-
itely decided upon the policy of tender
ing the good offices of the United States
to Spain, with a view to the peaceful
settlement of the Cuban question,
President Mckinley now has under con-
SideratiOn the name of a, distinguished
statesman he would like to appoint as
minister to Spain.
The presidents choice for this post is
former Senator George F. Edmunds of
Vermont The only question to be
settled is whether Mr.. Edmunds can be
induced to accept the office.
In the presidents opinion the Spanish
mission is by far the most important
within his gift. He has given it more
consideration than any other one sub
ject since March 4. 1t is a case where
the office must seek the man. Political
OF geographical considerations are not
involved. The man must be states
man, eminent in legal ability, exper-
fenced in international affairs and cool
headed under the most trying cOndi-
tiOnS.
The place has not yet been rendered
to Mr.. Edmunds. In fact, his name was
not taken under consideration until last
night and the president desires to know
if Mr.. EdmundS will accept the office
before a. formal tender is made.
Friends Of the ex-senator believe that
he will not look unfaVOrably upon the
request of the president. Being essen
TALLY a peace man, they believe he will
be willing to make almost any personal
sacrifice. if by his efforts he can serve
this country in helping to end the de-
VaStating war in Cuba without dis
turbing the friendly relations between
the two governments. Spain, it is be-
lieVed, would welcome the presence of
Mr. Edmunds and would consider his
appointment as showing a. sincere de-
sire on the part of the United States
to cooperate with Spain to bring about
a peaceful adjustment of the Cuban

been negotiating at this place for the
past two weeks, went into executive
session today to form an agreement
which will abolish tribal government.
The full blood Cherokees are opposed
to any change in tribal affairs, but are

in his citadel from that day to this. Nor
was he worried only by personal visits.
The daily mails have been full of soici-
taticns for aid. The first letter came from
a lady in Santa Rosa.
Sne wanted TO know if a package con-
tanning a few thousand dollars were not
lying around with her name on It. II he
would send it to her she would repay him
in the future, providing he was unmar-
ried.
Then came letter from a Healdsburg
beauty. She believed with a pathos
touching to realize that she had met the
heir at some time or other, but if she were
mistaken was perfectly willing to make
up for it by getting acquainted as soon as
he could come TO see her.
Then came letter. from Marshtield, Or.
The author was also a. woman. She be-
lieved so strongly that she must write it
that he should found an institution where
unmarried working girls could take their
sweethearts on Sunday and enjoy tete-
a-teie, instead of having to take car ride
or walk the streets.
1t would become place worthy of the
founder if it only mad good matron to
preside over its destinies. Incidentally
the lady thought she would make a ma
tron of no small ability herself.
Ayoung lady in this City indited Hall a
letter, couched in provincial English, ex-
pldlnlng Jn4l sn6 ndO WdLCn IN SOAK
for $6, and would like him to redeem the
pawnticket. Ii he would, she was willing
to honor him with her acquaintance.
Another caller had wonderful recipe
for turning cake of soap into virgin gold.
He needed just 10 cents to get some cop
per and he would return and perform the
trick for an audience. His modest de.
mand created SO much sympathy that he
was gwen very small time in which to
make his exit.
Another man had a model for an air.
ship that completely solved the pro blem
of aerial navigation. And vet another had
a proposition for coaxing hairs to come
forth as protection to bald heads. They
came singly and in droves, and their
schemes are as various as those of the
original Colonel Sellers or one of his
proselytes.
That is why Hall cannot be found by
visitors, and is as dumb as an oyster to all
inquiries about his future prospects.
That is why the casual visitor afforded
so much merriment to the young ladies
when he inquired for Hall.
That is also why he was referred to

The tickets have stop-over privileges in

of the tickets is August 10.
The Transcontinental Association also
decided to recon mend to the Western
Passenger Association which fixes rates
east of the Missouri River, a round-trip
rate for mem bers of the convention of $50
from Chicago and $46 so from ST. Louis
and Memphis.
The Southern Pacific Railroad Company
insisted upon this rate, which is consid
cred very fair one. General Passenger
Agent T. III. Goodman said yesterday
afternoon:
1--WE have been after rate like this
for several years. 1t has been said that
but for us we would have had this conven-
tion before. The fact is that we have all
along insisted in the Trancontinental AS
sociation for a low rate. We secured it
this time by intimating that we would
make it ourselves, in alliance with some
other line at the Missouri River, if it was
no. granted"
Assistant General Passenger Agent
Horsburgh said: This favorable action
by the Transcontinental Association will
insure a large attendance of delegates, and

ber of young people of the better class

The tickets will be placed on sale early
enough to give people chance to spend

From June % TO August Is is about one
week short of two months.
1t is estimated that the convention will
draw about 10000 young people to San
Francisco from the East, besides those
who will come for the pleasure of the trip

The Mechanics Pavilion and Wood
wards Pavilion have been engaged Dy the
