THE WORLD &C MOVE"

The recent session. 81 tbs congiess
or the Afro-AmeIican league, in
Fresno, broue!it nu All interesting
political fac. Jntcr George A..
Nourse, formerly AIT rLey c. neral of
this State, was a men,ber If the NJ
vada Constitutional convention of
1854. Empowered to form a constitu.
ton and State government. To that
body, on the third day of the conven-
ton, July 8, 1864, Judge Nourse arose
and said:
Il wish to make one motion here.
which | suppose will he voted down.
but l will not occupy much time with
it. L move to simply strike out the
word white in the first line. I think
it is pandering to an old and dis
graceful prejudice-and cone the less
d~lsgraceful, | will say, because [ nv
Self have partaken of it-agains: that
race which is certainly doiug grand
work for the Union now. [ suppose
that here this is not in reality a prac-
teal question, and while [ would not
be 10 favor OF the proposition in a
population where there would be A
great many OF those ignorant people
to turn loose at the polls, sill l think
mere 1t is a mere theoretical matter. I
offered the amendment, therefore, al
though L presume 1t will be voted
down, simply because l think it my
duty to do So"
1t must be borne in mind that this
offer of Judge Nourse ante-dated all
the amendments to the constitution of
the United States growing ont of tn.
war by more than a year. and the
PRONUNCIATION of the XVIII amend
ment by six years.
At the time Mr.. Nourse made the
motion to strike out the word .whjte'
IN the Nevada constitution there were
thirty-nine Republica o. and only one
Democrat in the convention, Yet so
universal was the prejudice against
the African race that no one would
even second his motion.
Wherefore we remark, that "tbe
world do move"
Thus it was that the idea to grant
political rights to the tlacks origin
ated In Nevada, and it is also we'll to
bea in mind that the idea of freeing
the white slaves of the country from
the letters Of Wall street and the
money power Of the East, by a polit-
lcal revolution. had Its origin in this
State. Nevada may have the smaIlas,
population of the union, but she has
some men Of ideas within her borders.

railroad BOYS Protest.

~ Sixteen'railroad employees, rep
resenting almost every department OF
a railroad from various sections of
the state, says an exchange, appeared
before the house committee on rail
roads Tuesday and plead with it not
to recommend for passage any legis-
lation that would reduce the
earnings of Kansas railroads. Among
the number we noticed the name of
A. B. Wilson, Southern Kansas engin-
eer, of Chanute.
We mention this for the special
benefit of our farmer friends and es-
pecially for those of the republican
party, who last fall voted for part of
the mongrel ticket. Any reduction
in rates means corresponding re-
duction in wages and the question to
answer, do the railroad employees re-
ceive more wages than they earn and
can they live on lower wages We
would like to call the attention Of UuI
railroad employees, at this point, vic

tion. We do not believe the rates
will be cut by the legislature, but II
not, why not? The pops have prom
ised this reform" and are in the sad
die and can pass any and all bills they
see fit. We shall keep tab on our own
senator and representative and report
their votes on said matters to their
constituents. Either farmers or the
railroad employees will be fooled and
we have claimed all the time that 1t
would be the farmers. Wait and see
which.

at 1880 O'Clock for the purpose of act
ing upon the request of the executive

There being no quorum, no business
was done. Mayor Biles and the conn
cilmen from First and Fourth wards
seem anxious to meet and allow bills
and settle the question of whether or
not an appropriation should be
made to help defray the expenses of
the coming u. A. r. encampment, but
the members of the other wards
can prevent any business being done
and at present are doing so. Their
constituents may OIL may not uphold
them in their action.

fJ1ave of Prosperity.

~ If one were in balloon few
feet above water in mid ocean, the
changes in the height of the waves
would hardly be perceptible in line Of
comparison. He would, however, be-
come conscious of under-currents that
went to make up the visible swell Of
advancing water. He would find the
smooth TANKS of each swell traversed
by currents of little waves or ripples
running up and down and apparently
independent of the great general swell.
These would come within his scope Of
vision, while the steady gain in height
and strength of the outgoing and in
coming general swell, being beyond
his general view, would pass unnotic-
ed. 1t is equally hard for man away
from the commercial centers to realize
the steady advance in the commercial
and financial condition. The VIEW
is LIMITED, and yet the waves of pros
perity ARE ADVANCING, gaining lit
tie strength and force with each sue
ceeding one, each one little higher
than the last. Nature does not pro-
vide for starting them out mountain
high on the announcement Of a nat
ions vote, as some of our populist
friends evidently believe. Nations
are not built that way. Lives and
governments are made by slow growth.
These waves, tits true, may carry away
more wreckage one year than another,
and yet lead steadily on in the direc-
tion Of prosperity. Pay no attention
to the ATOMS in national policy. The
general good can only be told by the
general swell.
Many factories started up after the
election that have been forced to close
no market-but they did not ALL
close; WE MADE A GAIN, many more
are constantly starting. We don't
hear of those as much now, but they
equal the number closing, and more,
too.
Bank clearances for the week end
ing Jan 21st, 1897, shows a 5 per cent
gain over '96-the big wave. Kansas
City shows loss, so does Minneapolis
the little waves. Don't get them
mixed.
Exports for '96 have exceeded the
imports by 1926, OO0O OO-the largest for
twenty years. Rather big wave, and
a safe one.
Even the business failures, when eX-
amined, are not as serious as supposed,
nor as the little waves indicated. The
proportion of failures to the number
in business shows no increase per cent
over previous years. Per cent of fail
ures for the leading causes: Incomp-
etency, inexperience, lack of capital,
unwise credits, outside speculations,
neglect of business and extravaganza
all show good decrease, which cannot
but result in a permanent gain to the
business of the country.
The per cent Of failures in proper
tion to the number of firms in the bus
mess of manufacturing in '96 was
greater than in the trades, and still
greater among the factories effected
by the Wilson bill
The big waves are making steady
advance, and with careful manage
ment they will make greater, the re-
suit of which we will all share.
The wise man knows that the gov
eminent does not make HIM, but that
HE helps to make the government, and
that the tidal wave of prosperity is
not effected by the little counter cur
rents that it may meet on it's way.

NeoshoValIey Creamery.

The first annual meeting of the
Neosho Valley Crehmery Company
was held the 18th of January. The
old board of directors was reelected
by reclamation and general satisfact-
ion expressed by the stock holders.
The officers elected consists Of II.
Montague, Pres; L. M. Lindsay, V.
P; E. P. Bodle, Sec; John Myers and
B. F. Boerstler, directors. The cream
cry opened up for business on May a,
1896 and during the eight months to
Jan. l, 1897, had received 1,015,491
pounds of milk from which SOFIA
pounds of .butter was made. This
amount of business done is very garti-
flying considering tnat this plant was
erected in a section of country where
creameries had only failures as a re-
cord. This creamery however will
prove its staying qualities, as it has a
progressive and intelligent lot of pat
rons, and the business is conducted on
sound business principles, by our well
known board of directors. We are ex-
pecting great increase in business
this year and are preparing to handle
same in good shape and satisfactory to
all patrons.
THE CARE OF MILK.
In order to get the best result out Of
dairying it is absolutely necessary
that the patrons furnish first class
milk to the creamery. 1t does not
cost any mole to furnish good, pure
milk than an inferior grade. 1t is a
good plan to have tank where cold
water can be pumped directly into it;
set milk cans in water and leave them
there until going to the factory. The
milk should be stirred occasionally to
expel animal heat. Milk newly drawn
wants areation and that should be
done in open air and not in a muddy
cellar. Now if patrons will make an
effort to furnish perfectly sweet milk
we will appreciate it by returning
cooked skim milk, which will keep
sweet a couple of days in any climate.
If you are contemplating to furnish
milk this season and want any infor
nation regarding this creamery, when
in.tOwn call and it will take only a
few minutes to convince you that we
can improve yOur condition by hand
ling your milk.

Brazilian Honor at Stake.

1t is to be hoped that the reports are untrue
that Brazil is willing to sell some of her
warships to Spain, provided she can obtain
security that payment will be forthcoming
when it falls due. Under ordinary circum-
stances no objection could be raised with
justice to a transaction of this character
between the two nations. 1t would be a
mere matter of business. But the situa-
ton is not an ordinary one; on the con-
trary, the conditions are such that the pro.
posed barter IN the part Of Brazil would
not, to say the least, be calculated to exalt
her standing as a member of the American
family of States.
What Brazilian could see without blush
ing his flag give place to the standard of
Spain on the ships of his country, and look
without Indignation at their guns pointed
against the heroic patriots of Cuba trug.
Cling to throw off the rule of the Spanish
monarchy What amount of money could
compensate for so indelible a stain on the
honor and character of his nationality
Brazil may have no use for these ships /;
she may need the money invested in them !;
but it would be far better for her to suffer
the loss, whatever it may be, than to in.
demnify herself at so great a sacrifice of
honor and principle as the suggested sale
would inevitably carry with it.

tion to any country DESTROYS Of carrying on
naval operations against Russia, or to Rus
sia In q naval war against another country.
The repetition Of NAP1ER's exploits with
the British fleet during the Crimean war
would not be possible, except with the con.
sent Of Germany or Denmark. The closing
OF the passages through Danish waters
would also protect the German naval base
at Kiel from attack from any quarter out
side the Baltic.
Under the circumstances, the neutrality
of Denmark, II it can be effectively main.
tanned, becomes a factor favorable to the
continuance Of peace, however precarious
peace may seem. The question, however,
presents itself whether Denmark, with Its
population Of less than two and a quarter
millions, has the power to do this. On q
war footing 1t Is capable OF putting into
the field an army Of about 70, 900 men,
who, with the small but effective fleet,
would no doubt fight with their traditional
valor and patriotism. But 1t does not seem
possible that so mail and weak a country
could for any considerable length of time
preserve its neutrality between the enor.
nous forces that would be brought INTO
play should a general European conflict I'M
happily break out.
Denmark would be compelled to take
sides before the conflict had proceeded very
far; and 1t may be that the military prepare
tions now contemplated are in consequence
Of some Interior arrangement already per-
fected by her Government.

Tho seiznre of Kiao Chou.

The weakness of China may prevent her
from openly resenting the seizure of her
forts on Kiao Chou Bay, but she cannot
fail to regard G~ermany's acta as overbearing.
AS the account goes, Admiral o Died
ERlcHs, having determined to erect a land
ing, demanded the evacuation OF the forts,
since their guns commanded his fleet. This
demand he proceeded to enforce by sending
ashore n party of about 800 men, where
upon the garrisons of the works withdrew,
and the German flag soon replaced the Chi.
nese. The flagship Kaiser was supported
by three other cruisers, and the Chinese
made no resistance at all.
The German movement was made under
orders to obtain immediate satisfaction for
the murder of two missionaries at Yen
Chu Flu, near Kiao Chou, which 10 in Shan
tung province. 1t is fair to say that Ger
many has precedents in the conduct OF Great
Britain, France, and our own country, for
her prompt application of naval force in
securing indemnity for Chinese outrages.
The disposition to evade responsibility, In
the peculiar relation of the provinces to the
imperial Government. and the w~ell-known
local hatred of foreigners, have often made
such n course imperative. Besides, one re-
port is that the provincial Governor was
himself implicated in the murders.
In addition to the Yen b Flu affair,
Germany was angered by the report that
her Minister to China and the Captain Of
her gunboat Cormorant had been insulted
at Wu-Chang by a mob. That affair oc-
Cured in the interior. on the Yang Use XII
ang, whereas the missionaries were muir.
dered in the province just south Of the
Hoang Ho.
The gravity Of the seizure Of the Kiao Chou
forts is enhanced, for other countries, by
the possibility that Germany, having
obtained a foothold on the Chinese coast,
may keep it. Even should there prove to
be some error in the account of the way she
obtained it, there is no doubt hat she has
it, her forces being established on the coast.
There is testimony to the excellence Of the
harbor, and Russia is said to have been ne
gotiating for it, with a view to its use as a
naval station. S~trategically it is well
situated, being approached through the
Yellow Sea, and Germany might well
covet it.
However, at present her views about the
place can only be a matter of surmise, and
it seems not unlikely that, after obtain.
ing satisfaction from China, she will with.
draw. The affair is one that concerns
Great Britain, France. and Russia more
than us, although it is said that both
American and British ships nave gone to
