MISSOURI RIVER IMPROVE- MENT. A committee chosen by the late Missouri river convention at Joseph is now in Washington for the purpose of urging upon Congress due recognition of the claims of the Mis- souri river upon the national treasury, and to ask that such appropriations shall be made as will render its navi- gation safe, and at all times reliable. According to the report of Mayor Suter the river can be improved so as to secure a uniform depth of twelve feet at low water from its mouth to Sioux City, and at a cost not exceed- ing 810,000 per mile, or $7,820,000 from our government a like demand in the aggregate. This sum is re- specttully requested from Congress on behalf of a section of the country which produces 780,000,000 bushels of cereals annually, including one- third of the entire corn crop of the «wountry.

One of the most interesting arti- cles bearing upon the question of the physical and mental equality of the sexes which has recently appeared is that by Miss M. A. Hardaker, which occupies a leading position in the pages of the current number of The Popular Science Monthly. The re- form philosophy of the suffering sis; ters has for its object the breaking down of the diverse relations which of sex. Admitting an inferiority in the posi- are founded upon a differenco tion and power of women in the econ- omy of tho state, it claims that this inforiotity is nearty temporary causes, which have their origin in long centuries of prejudice, and are maintained by laws which dis. criminate against and render difficult any genuine political or mental ad- vancement on the part of woman, The object of Miss Hadaker's paper is to show that this admitted differ- ence is due to permanent conditions due to The article throughout is a thought- ful and carefully written presentation of the physiological argument against the equality of the sexes. This ar- gument is one which advocates of an impossible and impracticable reform will ind it most difficul. to meet. T'he right to suffrage presumably rests apon the ability of electors to per- form the duties devolving upon the citizens of the state and not to any right inherent in the individual. Lacking in the aggregate such capac- ity because naturo has wisely provi- ded other channels for the direction of their energy, tho best interests of women will be best consulted and those of the state itself will be con- extension of the elective franchise. e THE CREATION OF VALUE. o the Editor of The Bee Ttis the province ation to bring wealth info exist. ence where the savagze could find noth ing. He had this great western world to himself, but could make nothing out of it. Fifty years ago Illinois was a wilderness, but civilization came on with the wand of her power and mighty cities rosc like magic from the rich soil. The prairie was always rich, but it took intelligence to develop it. When we think of the stupendous of onr western civ not removable by legislation and against which all agitation will be useless. Taking up the latest works upon differences in brain weights and measurements she quotes Professor Bastiat’s remark that the general su- periority in absolute weight of the male the female over ment, the difference according to the consent of all accepted authorities being about ten per cent. Thoe mean waight of the average brain is 493 ounces; that of the fewale brain 44 ounces, It is further given, says Miss Hardaker, on the authority of Gratiolet and others, that the male without involving idiocy, while the From these facts the author deduces arguments as to the ence between brain substance and in- power and the contractile power of the heart and the quantity of blood propelled arteries at each pulsation. Matter and fores are inseparable and all human energy is primarily derived from food consumption. The amount of food consumed by manexceeds that of woman by twenty per ceut., and this twenty per cent. in the aggregate represents an excess of power either physical or mental or both over the other sex, “Food converted into muscle will reappear as work; food converted into brain il reappear as thought and speech.” Handicapped by nature by these transformation in the great cities, vil- lages and rich farms—all the work of a half century—we seem 1n dreamland; and yet the treasures of Illinois, her manufactures, massive buildings, her railroads, all sprang from her richsoil; and more than this, the east is richer to.day for the existence of the great ment, with the exception of $254,000, | hrain exists at any period of develop- |state. We derive from these tacts a lesson for our own Nebraska. The highest type of intelligence develops the great- est yalues. The man who succeeds beet on his farm is the man who knows how to woo nature most successfully. The ancients thought each district of country was guarded by the ‘‘Genii” of the land, which was, perhaps, only a shading of the fact that nature pre- sents different phases in different lo- eations. Much has been lost by waging war with the genii of Nebraska., A man might as well expoct to prosper with a life long quarrel with his wife as to wage your quarrel with nature. Many a man has been sadly worsted by bringing an eastern system of farm- ing with him, a system which would not succeed. But when a man studies the adaptations of our wonderful prairie state, and keeps on the right side of nature, and does what he zan do, instead of trying what he can’t do, he will succeed. For instance, a man in Illinois who has had a beauti- ful grove of European larch and fine belts of Norway spruce and white cedar, comes to Nebraska with the de- termination to have the same here, he will be sadly worsted. The dry win- ters will suck the life out of his pets, and they will not succeed, and there is no use of his trying. He may take the red cedar and the pinus ponde- rosa and the Austrian pine, and he can succeed. .If he goes to the Re- publican valley and says: “East I made money out of timothy grass and I will here,” then he will be badly beaten. But let him study the adap- tations of soil and climate; instead of conditions woman’s inferiority to man cannot_be overcome by legis- lation which must fail to touch the original and/permanent’causes of the difference of position between the sexes. History has shown that wo- men have done something of nearly overything that men have done, but their efferings have been fewer and smallor. Physical superiority, greater and more continuous powers of con- centration resulting from that physi- cal superiority, make any such a sup- position as an even chance for the two sexes under the same couditions Miss Hardaker sums up as tollows, The perpetuation of the human cent of the energy of women between twenty and forty years of age is di- for the maintenance of ma- mental endowment were exactly equal to man’s, the amount diverted to ma- ternity must be coatinually sub- tracted from it, so that any original equality of intellect would certainly bo lost through maternity.

Let us further suppose ang let us add the condition of exact- ly the same quantity and quality of them to be of exactlythe same weight; fthe writ, holding that the board had timothy let him sow Hungarian and Mammoth millet, and he is all right; only put them in very early.

A large number of citizens gathered at Germani hall onSaturday evening to discuse the course to be pursued The meeting was presided over by T. Davis us chairman and V. G, Lantry as secretary.
