HOW TO ORGANIZE,

In answer TO numerous cOmmunlca-
tons sent TO the secretary of the Kansas
immigration bureau asking information
as to what is needed to organize and be-
come part of the state movement, and
many other questions, the secretary takes

thousands of people will see this. where

INDIAN LOGIC VS.. CAUCASIAN REA
SON

The Sioux chiefs who are now in
Washington have listened with intense
interest to the speeches of Senators
Morgan and Butler on the negro emil
grafton bill. They were especially cap.
tivated by the declaration that the ne
groes should be sent back to Africa,
because that was the land from which
their ancestors came hundreds of years
ago.
Old Grass and the others got together
afterwards and talked the thing over,
contemplated it in all its bearings and
speculated on its possibilities. They
finally constituted themselves a commit
tee and awaited on the two distinguished
senators.
They first made the great statesmen
good natured and pliable by compli-
ments to their eloquence and liberality
and magnanimity. They next asked
them If the same principles and the
same rules of treatment should not be
applied to all people alike, regardless of
color, shade or nationality. The flat

their good feeling, replied, Yes, of
course"
Mr. Grass, then, with craft and SUBJ
tlesy which showed that he was no green,
immature vegetation, retorted: "Black
mans fathers come from Africa. Black
man must go back to Africa.
white mans fathers come from Eng
land, land at Plymouth Rock. More
white mans fathers come from Holland,
land at mouth of great river, Hudson.
More white mans fathers come from

mans fathers been coming from Ger
many, Sweden, Ireland and Italy.
White man drive back Indian, get whole
country. Now white man must go back
to England, Holland, France, Germany,
Sweden, Ireland and Italy. Indians have
whole country again"
When the two senators recovered their
breath after this speech, they managed
to ask the subtle old aboriginal what
brand of firewater he was III the habit of
drinking, and beguiled him into stopping
the discussion, by offering to accompany
him to place where it could be found.

His next period is set for the 2Sth, Goth

The Century magazine recounts the
legendary lore and history which tell of
Menna, the renowned warrior, engineer
and scholar. who conquered Egypt 1000
years ago, built Memphis, and turned
the Nile to flow by its eastern side. If
they continue to delve into ancient his
tory they will make out this little world
of ours to be very old. Menna must
have been preceded by thousands of
years of civilization to have attained to
his knowledge and great ability.

THE NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE.

From the Cincinnati Price Current of
January 16 it is learned that an effort is
being made by committee of the ma
tional board of trade to secure larger
representation of commercial bodies in
the work Of this central organization
The membership heretofore has been
confined to a comparatively few of the
trade associations, and should be greatly
widened. A large number Of such asso-
cations may derive benefit by selecting
suitable members to represent them in
these deliberations, where the observa-
tons and thoughts of the intelligent and
progressive business men of the country
furnish instruction and influence upon
questions of great significance and gen.
eral concern. In recent report appears
the following expressions in reference to
correspondence with various trade or
CARNATIONS with view to securing in
terest in the central organization:
These various commercial organizations
and this immense membership are found
to be without adequate general associa-
ton, and 1t is deemed worthy of effort that
they be united for expression of sentiment
aud the pursuit OF action upon questions OF
public commercial consideration. The
necessity of such a step will be readily ap-
parent to the observer of local disquiet.

BRAzIL,s FIRST TROUBLE.

Latest reports from Brazil indicate
that all things are not absolutely serene
in that republic of recent birth and ex-
tensive territory. The revolution was
effected by the army. The new govern
has so far been sustained by the army.
And strangely enough the first violent
protest against the new order of affairs
comes also from the army. Parts of
two regiments of artillery mutinied the
other day, trampled on the new re-
publican flag and hoisted the old imper-
ial flag.
The other regiments, however, rallied
quickly on the mutineers, killed and
wounded 100 of them and captured the
rest. The next day twenty of the ring
leaders were shot. Thus the new repub
lie of Brazil has already executed more
men for treason than has this United
States republic in the 100 and more
years of its existence, though it has
put down the greatest rebellion of
history. But nations, like individuals,
have to be strong to be magnanimous.
And possibly the Brazilian republic did
not feel strong enough to pardon those
who had rebelled against it. The pro-
visional government likely thought the
severe measure necessary for the main
tenance of its authority. 1t perhaps felt
that it must inspire the feeling that re-
bellion against it was dangerous.
The first trouble in the new republic is
said to have grown out of dissatisfaction
of the soldiers with their pay. There is
a valuable hint in this to the provisional
government. If it is to retain the loyal
support of the soldiers it must pay them,
and pay them we'll and regularly. Pa
triotism, indeed, goes a long ways. 1t
inspires to much of bravery and self-sac-
rifice, but it can not always prevail over
the distress of an empty pocket and the
torture of gnawing stomach.

Little snow has fallen in Russia this

true it will be little bad for Russia.
But it may prevent the burning of corn
for fuel in Kansas another year. This

stress of affairs affords mighty little con-
