[ PRIDE OF ‘BLOOD AS A PRESERVATIVE we Problem Involved In Race Sulclde—American Reaches Climax of Energy, Ready to Lead the World, PHILADELPHIA, April 12.—The Afth annual meeting of the American Academy of Political and Social Science began here today and will continue tomorrow. The general toplc is “America’s Race Prob- lems,” and the many phases of that sub- Ject were ably discussed. An address was dellvered tonight by Prof. Edward Ross, formerly of Leland Stanford, Jr., university, 20w a member of the faculty of the Uni- versity of Nebraska, who spoke on “The Causes of Race Superlority.” He spoke as tollow It will take at least two or three genera- tions to level up the industrial methods of continents like South America or Africa or Asla, as a Jamalca, a_Martinique, or a Hawali have been leveled up; and all thig time that race which excels in energy welf-rellance and education will have the advantage. When this furiously dynamic epoch closes, when the world becomes more static and uniformism recurs, self-reliance will be at a discount and the conditions galy favor the race that is patlent, laborfous, frugal, iIntelllgent and apt in onsolidation.

The power to form and cling to such a standard is not only one of the noblest triumphs of reason over asston, but is, In sooth, the only sure hope or the clevation of the mass of men from i the abyss of want and struggle. The prog- reas of invention held out such a hope, but it has proved a mockery.

They may be ahle to produce and therefore carn in the o { main distinet, dinary occupation, say three-fourths as much as Americans: but if their standard of life s only half as high, the Aslatic will_ marry before the American feels able to marry, The Aslatic, will rear children while his competitor feels able to rear but one. The Aslatic will increase his children to six under conditions that will not encourage the American to raise more than four. " Both, perhaps, are forward looking and influenced by the worldly grolpcrlu of their children; but where the riental 1s satisfied with the outlook the Amerfean, who expects to school his ehil- dren longer and place them better, shakes his head. Now to such a competition there are three possible results. First, the American may become discouraged, relinquish his ex- acting atandard of multiply as freely as the Asiatic. more reckless and worthleas elements of our population. Becond, the Asiatic may catch up our wants, as well as our arts, and acquire the higher standard and lower rate of Increase of the American. This 18 just what contact and education are doing for the French Canadians in New England, for the immigrants in the west and for the negro in some parts of the south; but th members of a great culture race like the Chineae show no disposition, even when scattered sparsely among us, to assimi- late to us or to adopt our standards. Not until their self-complacency has been un- dermined at home and an extensive intel- lectual ferment has taken place in China itself will the Chinese become assimilable | elements. Thirdly, the standards may re- the rates of increase un- equal, and the silent replacement of Amer- jcans'by Asfatics go on unopposed until tho latter monopolize all induatrial occupations, and the Americans shrink to a superior caste, able perhaps by virtue of its genius, ita organizaton and its vantage of pori- ton to retain for a while its hold on gov- ernment, education, finance and the direc- tion of industry, but hopelessly beaten and displaced as a race. In other words, the American farmhand, mechanic and opera- itlve might wither.away before the heavy influx of a prolific race from the Orient, just as in classic times the Latin husband- man vanished before the endless stream of slaves Ipoun-d into Italy by her trlumphant generals. ew England's Low Birth Rate, Now for a case like this n_find no words #o apt as “race suicide.”” There is no bioodshed. no violence, no assault of the race that waXxes upon the race that wanes. The higher race quletly and unmurmur ingly eliminates itself rather than endure individually the bitter compotition it has fafled to ward off from itself by collective action. The working classes gradually de- lay marrlage and restrict the size of the family as the opportunities hitherto re- served for thelr children are eagerly snapped up by the numerous progeny of the foreigner. The prudent self-respecting natives first cease to expand and then, as the struggle for existence grows sterner and the outlock for their children darker, they fail even to recruit their own num- bers. It 18 probable the visible narrowing of the circle of opportunity through the infiltration of Irish and French Canadlans that has brought so low the native birth- rate in New Fngland. However this muy be, it is certain that if we venture to apply to the American people of today the serfes of tests of au- perfority 1 have set forth to you at such ength, the result is most gratitying to our pride. It I8 true that our average of energy and character i& lowered by the presence in the south of several millions of an Inferior race. It Is true that the last twenty vears have diluted us with masses of fecund but beaten humanity from the hovels of far Lombardy or Galicla, it {8 true that our free land is gone and our_opportunities will henceforth attract immigrants chiefly from the humbler strata of east European peoples. Yet while there are here problems that only high staies- manship can solve, I belleve there in a the present moment no people in the world that is man for man equal to the Amer- fcans In capacity and efficiency. We stand now at the moment when the process of migrations has completed its work.

VOTE FAVORABLE TO BOND ISSUE Matter is Left to a Commitiee of Five, with Instructions et a More Definite Proposition from the Promoters, At a mass meeting in the Commercial club | rooms last night the question of voting bonds to aid the construction of the pro- posed Kansas Southern road into Omaha was discussed and finally referred to a com- mittee. This committec, A. L. Reed, E. B. Bruce, G. W. Wattles, F. P. Kirk- endall and Euclld Martin, was. author- |ized to confer with the promoters, secure besides our styles are ALWAYS | from them a more definite proposition and | Teport to another mass meeting, the date of which remains to be set. Charles H. Pickens, president of the chub, called the meeting to order and asked Euclid Martin to preside. Mr. Martin {ntroduced Charles 8. Wheeler, president of the pro- posed rond, who gave his reasons for want- ing to bulld into Omaha. He sald that the men behind the enterprise were not pro- moters or schemers, but were responsible business men of Kansas Clty who courted investigation as to their standing. About a year and a half ago the proposition was pre- sented to them to aesist in bullding nine miles of road in central Kansas. They in- vestigated the proposition and built the road, making a survey t6 Emporfa, Kan. It 1s a good proposition from a local stand- noint in that territory, he said, as it passes through one of the best sections of the state. ne Miles as a Starter, In the nine miles of road the company hes invested $100,000 and has made provision for $300,000 more to bulid an additional thirty- four miles to connect with the Union Pa- cific and Santa Fe roads. Bonds in the amount of $125,000 have been voted in ald of the road between its present southern terminus and Emporia. When R. M. Sonyder of Kansas City was brought Into the deal he suggested that the line be extended to Omaha, and this visit s the result “We are prepared to build a line from Omaha to Emporia,” said the speaker a cost of about $3,000,000, provided we re- ceive the encouragement to which we are entitled and which all new roads ask. We expect no opposition from the roads whose lines we cross. We know we reach a ter- ritory unexcelled anywhere, but it is fair to assume always that a railroad wiil not pay until it has been operated from one to five ars, and therefore it has been considered right for the new roads to ask for asslat- ance. Therefore, we are here. I know that Kausas City has always aided every rallroad enterprise which promised to extend fts trad “We can offer you the cattle shipmer.s of the southwest and a road to the Gulf. It s entirely an independent road at present and will remaln s0. At Emporia we tup three |roads which do not enter Omaha directly, nd we know we can make satisfactory traf- |fic arrangements with the Memphis, Kan- sas & Texas line. “This is not a scheme to get a franchise or subsidy to place upon the market, but we mean to bulld the road.” Terminal Facllities for Omaha. The speaker then took up the question of bonus. He finds it will be an expensive matter to secure terminal facllities in Omaha. He then made a definite proposition as follows: “Our proposition was to ask $250,000 and terminal facilities estimated equal amonnt. Now the terms are changed 80 that in addition to the issue of $250,000, a terminal company is to be formed with a capital stock of $300,000, one-half to be sup- plicd by the Kansas Southern company and one-half by the citizens of Omaha—the peo- ple subscribing the stock to receive stock and bonds in the terminal company to that amount. The charter of the terminal com- pany s to provide that its facilities can be used by all roads desiving to enter the city, but the Kansas Southern is to have the use free of charge. In submitting these terms he said that until the road was bullt Into Omaha it was | {livery to Kansas City and St. Joseph, and was proving to be a good proposition When he had finished, Euclid Martin sald he thought the building of the road would be n good thing, but the question is now whether the ecity s In a position to vote bonds. He thought the matter should be discussed and some conclusion reached at this meeting. He spoke In high terms of Mr. Wheeler, Herman Kountze sald his connection with the project came through a communication from R. M. Snyder, who wanted to know it Omabha parties would take hold of the mat- ter. He replied that he thought the nroject was a good one, but he was not in a position to take any financial Interest in it. Meeting with Kansas Capltalints, He certified to the standing of Mr. Suyder and gave a report of the first and second meetings held with the Kansas City partles, as herctofore published. He thought the road, If it could establish favorable trafiic arrangements with other lines, would be a good thing, and believed that the matter | should be considered from an Omaha stand- point. C. H. Pickens thought that someone should explein the proposed route of the road. Mr. Kountze stated there has been no survey made norih of the present northern Spring Medicine In thousands and thousands of homes,—in cities, towns and villages,— three doses a day of Hood's Barsaparilla are now being taken by every mem- ber of the family.

He did not be- leve that bonds could be voted at this time. as the people of Omaha scem to desire to get out of debt, both individually and as a municipality, P. E. Iler thought Omaha could well af ford to pay $250,000 for the road, but that Omaba should have representatives on the directory of the company. Vote Favorable to Honds, A. L. Reed thought that the mecting should appoint a committee of five o take up the matter with the promoters and as- certain If something in the way of an un derstanding in regard to rates cannot be se- cured, and that the committee should take up the matter of terminal facilities. Omaha needs the road, and if it can get control of the rates by voting $260,000 bonus he would favor the bond issue. A. P. Tukey voiced the sentiment, “No more bonds forever for railroade,” und this was echoed by W. H. Green, who stated, however, that he might change his mind It it were shown that Omaha would get the worth of its money. From a wholesaler's standpoint, T. C. Byrne of the Byrne-Hammer Dry Goods company thought the line would be a good thing for those inteiests, but as to bonds he would have te be shown that it would Increase values In the city. The line would bring trade to the city which now goes to other towns. E. E. Bruce would favor bonds it it were assured that the road would ways be independent and operated in the interests of Omaha, but if it was opposed by the lines now in existence it would have a hard time to attract business. On the suggestion of E. B. Bruce a vote was taken on the question of voting bon in aid of the road. The vote stood 15 to § in favor of voting ald under proper condi- tions and sateguards, It betng generally un- derstood that Omaha should be represented on the board of directors should bouds be 1ssued, WOMEN BREAK THE RECORD They Win in Attendance an Receipts at the Auditoriu Exposition. Cash To the women who volunteered to con- duct the Auditorium exposition one evening for the benefit of the Auditorium belongs the honor of having broken the record for ¢ash receipts. It was not a favorable night, but the crowd in attendance was estimated at 1,600 people, mostly from soclally prom- inent circles and homes of affluence. The committee of women was In complete control aud brooked no denials from those who were able to help out the exposition by modest expenditures for the many pleasures the evening afforded. The booths were all in charge »f women and the games were oper- ated by them and were well patronized. Mrs Harry Weller, Mrs. VanCourt and Mrs. E. V. Lewlis administered the obligation to large numbers of novitiates in the buffalo wallow, while Dr. Bailey's wife did effective service as outside guard, The ice cream sec- tion, in charge of Mrs. Clement Chase and a corps of agreeable assistants, did consid- erable business. The most stirring event of the evening was the Wijement of the disputed question as to whd s the most popular woman in Omaha. Fred Paffenrath and Jay D. Foster conducted the contest and put a great deal of epirit intc It. Upon the big board were chalked the names of Mre.

Peters, Mrs. Heury Penny, Miss Ruth ‘Weller, Miss Florence Lewis, Mrs. Danlel H. Wheeler, jr., and Mrs, Howard Baldrige. All of them had votes in varying numbers cast by admiring friends, but the race seemed to be for a time between Mrs. Will Wood and Mrs. Penny. As it neared the time for the e of the voting, however, a man came forward and dropped in gold oin Into the hopper for Mrs. Bebout, and when time was called two men, each with a $20 bill to cast, one for Mrs, Penny and the other for Mrs. Wood, were shut out be- the ladies’ day work.

He schedules bis liabllities at $4,150, and assets at $25, which 1s cash in bank.

In October, 1894, the house made a general assignment for the benefit of credi- tors to Newman Erb. Later, by an order of court, Thomas P. Wicke was made re- celver of all the assets of the firm. Coffin's petition names hundreds of credi- tors whose claims range in amount from hundreds of thousands to a few dollars The largest creditors who hold mo security are the city of Santa Cruz, 00, and the city of Ironwood, Mich., for $115,000, | these sums being duc the respective munici- palities on contracts for bonds purchascd The petition states that among the con- | tingent. liabilities is a nete payable o Rus- sell Sage for $13,000.

The petition is filed by Mr. Coffin through his counsel, Boardman, Platt & Solely. .C. L. Kingsley of this firm sald today that the liabilities were all from the Coffin & Stanton days and that no new Mablilities had been contracted by Willlam Edward Coffin since then.
