Happily the largest and most in

self on the right side; not perhaps be-
cause its members have no prejudice
against cOlored folk, for many Of them
were brought up in the traditions Of
slavery, but because their principles
are stronger than their prejudices, and
seeing the right, they must fight on its
side.
1t is the true American spirit. While
we fought for the liberation of Cuba
we had small admiration or even lik-
ing the Cubans, but they were human
beings and we would not have them
tortured within our hearing.
It was the same way during the
civil war. The North was not en-
amOred of the Negro: facts prove in
deed that it had far less thought Of
winning Negroes than had the South,
but it fought and bled and died for
the cause Of freedom, and history
records its triumph and the public
opinion of the world has but one YER
dict-that of approval.
This is the crushing reply to those
who say that to disregard the color
line in such matters as this Of the Fed
Grafton is too ideal a position for prac
tical life. 1t is an iueal the nation
realized forty years ago, and we are
going to try to reverse the edict and
side with what was justly defeated.
what the whole world condemns.
Missouri is now more in the worlds
eye than for a long time; she will be
increasingly conspicuous for the next
four years. Now is her opportunity.
She was saved by a handful of brave
spirits from throwing herself on the
wrong side in the civil war; let her
now declare her advance in this war
of women, forty years after men
fought out the issue and proclaim her
self overwhelmingly on the side of
justice, equity. principle and right.
It is moved that Missouri instruct
her delegates to vote at the biennial
meeting for the following proposition:
"AIl clubs, without distinction. may
be admitted into the general Fedora
tiOn if they are members Of the Fed
Grafton in the State from which they
come"

MILLIONS OF MEN.
Mr.. Kenna Makes Graphic Statement
of Railroad Business.

E. D. Kenna, general counsel of the
Santa Fe railway company, who is in
Topeka today in an address delivered at
Kansas City Saturday evening present
ed a graphic statement of the magni-
tude of the individual interests in the
railroad business. He said:
'Since railrOading has become the
great business Of our country, serving
and deriving support from all others,
sometimes need to be reminded that
the industrial phase of the railroad is
not the important one. True, private
institutions, affOrding investment for
thousands and employment for millions,
railroad companies are concerns OF great
consequence. A million persons work for
them constantly, and 5000, 900 depende
upon them absolutely not counting
their owners. More than 100000 men
work in the mines to furnish them with
coal, and still more are daily toiling to
supply the iron and steel that railroads
use Three thousand square miles of
land is laid bare each year to supply
railroads with ties and lumber, equal to
a stretch of land one mile in width from
New York to San Francisco, or five
times the area of Jackson county.
These and many other workers who fur
nish railroads with supplies must them
selves be fed and clothed And so, in
time, the expenditures by this industry
affect the income of nearly everyone.
The ownership of railroads also con-
Germs a vast number. When we hear
that a few direct the affairs of all our
great systems we are apt to forget that
the owners are many. There are more
than 10000 stockholders in one company
whose line enters this city, and yet of
it's securities no single man owns a
fiftieth part. Although there are SS000,-
0000 900 of railroad securities in America,
I believe the aggregate holdings of no
1000 individuals equal 81, 000. 600 600 And
if inquiry be made to where the large
majority of such securities are held, we
find the life insurance companies own
$40, 900 900 and hold $50 600. 900 as collat-
oral
directly interested in the prosperity of
our railway companies. The next largest
class of holders are the savings banks
and the trust companies, whose hold
ings, while unknown, certainly exceed
those of the life insurance companies.
AS witness the holdings Of a certain
savings institution in the city of Chi
cago which owns over IS, 900, 600 of such
securities ,,

Santa Fe and the Indiana, Illinois and

None at all. It's all false. There's
not a word of truth in it,
rs the Santa Fe planning an inter-
urban line in the vicinity of San Fran

nal?''
There is a, little narrow gauge line

the air of man who had never thought
of the subject before.
HAS the Santa Fe bought it?'
'No-that is. the road is not for sale.
I understand. OF course if the road
should go on the market, I suppose the
Santa Fe would be as likely to buy it
as anybody. But at the present time,
the road is not in shape to be bought
by anybody
The road mentioned is said to have
come into the possession of the Santa
Fe, and will be used by the Santa Fe
as a nepcluS for a system of suburban
lines, as well giving to the Santa F'e
terminal facilities in San Francisco of
great value.
Asked in regard to the preparations
which the Santa F'e is making to get
a share of the oriental trade, President
Ripley said, slowly measuring his
words:
THE oriental trade-is-an-empt
shell. There is nothing in it for us. The
only reason we try to compete for
oriental trade is for the prestige which
it gives the road. 1t is not because we
made money at it. Northwestern roads
are able to make money in the oriental
trade, because they carry the wheat of
the northwest to the coast for export.
wheat to speak off,
President Ripley said that for the
present no further improvements are
contemplated at the Topeka shops, aside
from those already comm enced.

DUG ATHENO UP.
Mayor of Omaha Feared He Would
Freeze to Death.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 12-Upon an i'm
perative order from Mayor Moores, the
body of Professor Carl Athena the
hypnotist, was dug up from it's tempo
rary resting place beneath six feet of
earth at Eighteenth and Douglas
streets last night. The professors pulse
was found to be 55 and his condition
was ascertained by physicians to be
fairly good.
The hypnotists attendants insisted
that it would be impossible to awaken
Mr.. Athena before the appointed time
Saturday evening, and they have con-
sequently slowed the coffin in a warm
room until the hour of resurrection is
al hand.
The mayors order was due to anxiety
lest the hypnotist should die during the
experiment and the city be held re-
sponsible.
The relatives of Athena were confess
sedly uneasy as to his condition, owing
to the extreme cold weather. The ap-
pearance of the hypnotist's face, as
viewed through the tube, was such as
to excite alarm. His face was badly
swollen and his eyes were sunlSen.
Athena was inferred on Monday night
his grave five days
A letter has been received by Mrs.
George Tilden, of the. Woman's club
from Mrs. Lottie McManigle, of 2l3
East Tenth street, Kansas City who
claims to be Atheno's wife. She asked
the police to interfere.

WARLIKE SENTIMENT.
1t Appears to Be ON the In

London, Dec. 1.-THE Times in it's
second edition today publishes a dis
patch from Valparaiso under today's
date, which says:
The first symptom at the present
juncture of a possible awakening of
warlike excitement among the Gillian
public is the announcement that a mass
meeting of working people is to be held
at Santiago, December Is to express APP
prevail of the action of the government
in dealing with the Argentine question.
Even this apparently is merely an Off
set to another meeting, promoted by the
advocates of peace at any price.
The buying of ships to take the
place of vessels of questionable eff
cheney, the mobilizing of the fleet for
maneuvers and the Strengthening of re-
lations with friendly neighbors Colom-
bia and Ecuador are not regarded here
as signs of aggressive intentions on
Chili's part but only as natural pre-
cautions evoked by the unexpectedly
threatening demeanor of Argentina"
