VIII Only Preserve Neutrality.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The Mexican
Government is anxious TOR the United
States to enter into an agreement with
1t by which Garza's men can be pur-
sued across the border by the troops of
either country. But Minister Romero,
if he follows up his informal request
with formal one, is not likely to get
the assent of this government There
are too many phases to the question to
admit of the United States entering
into such an arrangement. The
opinion of the War Department officials
about the ACCESSIBILITY of not entering
into the arrangement is pretty sure to
be confirmed. 1t will enforce the neu-
trality laws on its own side. Nothing
more can be asked of 1t. If the CARA
uprising should become a general revo-
luton the United States would not care
to be drawn into it as party In the in
terest of the Diaz government That
would be asking too much. All that
the Mexican government can with pro-
priety ask is the enforcement of the
neutrality laws, and that the border on
this side of the Rio Grande be not made
the basis of operations. This was the
opinion at the Cabinet meeting to-day,
though there is the friendliest kind of
feeling toward President Diaz, and a
firm determination that the United
States shall not encourage the Cara
uprising either directly or indirectly.

EXPOSITION PREPARATIONS.


AS the time for the opening of the Ne
braska state exposition in Omaha APP
proaches it becomes more apparent from
day to day that the enterprise is hap
pilv conceived and that the plans will
be successfully carried out The en-
thusiastlc interest taken by manufac-
turers in every part OF the state shows
that there is no ground for the fear that
the exposition will prove to be too much
monopolized by this city to be repre-
sentative of the enterprises and re-
sources of the state at large. 1n fact it
would seem as IL the exhibitors from
other towns are even more keenly alive
to the Importance of the exposition than
the Omaha people themselves. They
look upon it ns a state institution in the
broadest sense and feel that they are as
much responsible for its success as If
they were carrying on their business in
this city. This is the right spirit, and
as enthusiasm is always contagious 1T is
to be expected that every town in Me-
braska will be adequately represented.
This will not only promote healthy
will also stimulate local pride among the
people and insure a great popular inter
est throughout the state which will re-
suit in large attendance at the ex-
position.
AS an educator the exposition will
exc. { q wide influence. 1t will give the
people of every section of the state an.

doing upon the line of industrial trade
and progress and will open their eyes to
the many advantages to be derived by
them from the development of the inter-
ests represented. Everything that tends
to such development also tends to the
advancement Of other interests, and
every man who attends the exposition
and thus lends encouragement to manu-
featuring and trade enterprises in Ne
braska will himself be an indirect
gamer. The wide interest already man
ifested shows that this view of the case
prevails throughout the state.
To Omaha people, many of whom are
totally unacquainted with the progress
that is being made by other towns, the
exposition promises to be revelation.
1t will prove to them that the spirit of
| enterprise is rs wide as the state and
| that manufacturing and trade interests
are taking wonderful strides in every
town where they have been established
Prompt and vigorous work in arrang-
ing the exhibits is suggested, and of this
there is need. Care should be taken
that the opening day shall not find some
of the exhibitors unprepared. The I'M
portance of having the exposition open
in perfect order will be appreciated when
it is remembered that the first impress
sions of visitors will have an influence
upon the success Of the undertaking.

TRADE AND LEGISLATION

The rapidity with which trade and
commercial organizations have spread
in the United States during the past
few years may be taken as an evidence
that they are serving the various pur-
poses for which they are designed.
Not the least important of the objects of
boards of trade, chambers of commerce
and kindred bodies made up of business
men is to influence legislation in the
results which they have achieved in
this direction have been and will doubt
less continue to be uniformly beneficial
to the masses. A register of the COM
mcrcial organizations of the whole
country is kept by the New York Board
of Trade and Transportation. 1t shows
that there are LOGS bodies of this class
now in existence in the various states
and territories. Three years ago there
we're, according to the report OF the
bureau of statistics, only 500 organiza-
tions of this character. That their
number should have more than
doubled in 80 short a time shows
that their advantages have been
widely recognized. New York heads
the list of states with 150 Massa-
chusetts has eighty-nine, Pennsylvania
eighty-two, Ohio sixty-eight, and other
states follow as rule in the order of
their population and the extent of their
commercial interests. Nebraska is
credited with only ten, but there are
nj cfn nd hot
smaller number.
Although the chief function of these
organizations is the promotion of COM
mercial pros perity in the communities
where they exist, their influence is
often exerted in behalf Of legislation in
which the people at large have COM
mon interest. They are entirely COM
posed OF men whose interests are inter-
dependent and who are necessarily So
licitous for the common welfare because
their own prosperity is staked upon that
of the general public. Trade orgaaiza-
tions are composed of elements so di-
verse that they could not combine in the
interest OF class legislation inimical to
the common welfare IL they should try

recommendations OF trade organizations
have great weight in congress and in
the various state legislatures, and as
their number grows this wholesome in
huence will be extended. This is an era
of commercial activity In which busi-
ness interests predominant over all
others, and every agency that helps
business helps the people at large.
But "a chamber of commerce or board
OF trade is not alone influential in behalf
of legislation directly related to mate
rial prosperity. Such organizations
may and often do bring their power to
bear upon the makers Of laws in the in
| terest of the public welfare in directions
| wholly unrelated TO commercial affairs,
and doubtless their usefulness will be
| yet further extended as their represent
ative character becomes more generally
recognized. Thelegislator who is guided
in his action by the wishes of such or
gan izations cannot go far astray.

HARRISON AND THE CoLOREp NH

HARRISON AND THE COLORED MEN.
The attempt to disparage President
Harrison in the respect and confidence
of the colored men of the country has
failed. 1t was reflection upon the in
class of our citizens TO assume that it
would not fail. The colored men who
take an interest in political affairs, and
the number of such is large and stead
lily increasing, watch with keen and
Jealous interest the course of political
leaders toward their race. They have
the inHrmities common to humanity,
but they cannot be deceived as to who
are their friends and who are not They
know what has been done for them and
can estimate as accurately as anybody
the motives that prompted it, They
are grateful people and do not forget
those who have treated them fairly and
have honestly endeavored to secure
them justice under the laws.
When an attack was recently made on
President Harrison in the house of rep
resentatives, charging that he had not
given the colored race adequate recog-
milton in public affairs, it was resented
by the one colored member of that body
Since then prominent leaders of the
colored race have expressed themselves
regarding the president, and such men
as Fred Douglass, ex-senator Bruce, Con-
gresham Cheatham and ex-Congress-
man Lynch emphatically declare that
President Harrison is in every way
worthy of the confidence of the colored
voters of the country. There is but one
colored man of prominence who has pro.
claimed opposition to the president, and
that is John M. Langston of Virginia,
but dissatisfaction with everything
politically has long been a chronic
condition with Langston. 1t Is his way
OF securing attention to himself 1t is
possible that be may be able at Min
neapolis to infect some of the colored
delegates with his disease. but there
will be stronger men Of his race there to
counteract his influence.
No man who is familiar with the pub
lie record OF President Harrison will
question for u moment his sincere solicit
colored race. He has never failed on
any proper occasion to demand for them
civil and political justice, and no public
man OF today has advocated their cause
as citizens, entitled TO the same rights
under the law as are accorded to white
citizens, in stronger o. more explicit
language than has been used by the
president So far as the matter of Civ
ing recognition to the colored man in
public affairs is concerned, II that be
the proper criterion by which to Judge
OF a presidents friendly interest in the
race. 1t can DO claimed for President
Harrison that he has shown more con-
sideration for the colored race than an
of his predecessors.
1t is obviously the purpose OF the op.
position to the presidents denomination
