few, very few, remain. They were the
founders of civil government. They
were the advance guard of the million
and quarter of Inhabitants who now,
in health and prosperity, send up, from
factory and farm, from city and vii
lage, every day, the constant hum of
contented industry, and, from thous-
ands of beautiful homes, the rhythmic
hymn of satisfied happiness. To have
led the way, to have been in the fore
front Of settling a commonwealth like
Nebraska, and to have seen it evolve
from savagery into civilization, and to
have aided or accelerated that evolution
is a glory, an honor. 1t is so because
the Judgment of the early settlers as to
the soil and it's possibilities has been
vindicated, verified by crops Of two
hundred millions of bushels of corn for
series of years. 1t is glorious thing
to live long enough to see all of ones
highest hopes and richest forecasts as
to wilderness more than triumphantly,
and, even miraculously realized by hu-
man occupancy. Forty seven years ago
the first settlers were permitted to enter
Nebraska for permanent settlement
upon it's lands. In that time while
crops have been six times "short," in
the river counties, there has never been
complete failure; nineteen crops have
been bumpers and twenty have
been merely good. When the
editor of The CONSERVATIVE
first occupied Arbor Lodge, the one
hundred and sixty acres Of land, where
he has ever since lived, it was more than
three hundred miles to railroad That
was in June, 1866, before the United
States had surveyed Nebraska and two
years before land office was opened in
the territory. Nearly halfa century has
elapsed. The changes that have trans
pired are miraculous. Now, in the state
there are five thousand, seven hundred
and six miles of railways and eighteen
million acres of titled land.
"That great mystery of Time, were there
no other the illimitable, silent, never
resting thing called Time, rolling, rush
ing on, swift, silent, like an all-embrac-
ing ocean tide, on which we and all the
universe swim like exhalations, like ap-
partitions which are and then are not !;

thing to strike us dumb,-for we have
no word to speak about it,"
But the mere flight of time does not
make history. For centuries and tens
and thousands of centuries the vast

the Rocky Mountains saw summer sun

of the old American idea that a govern
ment of absolute powers is an intolera-
BILE thing, and, under the constitution of
the United States, an impossible thing"
We agree with him that this view "will
not limit the power of territorial ex
pansion; but it will lead us to limit the
use of that power to regions that may
safely become part of the United States,
and to peoples whose American citizen
ship may be allowed"
We urge all lovers of freedom to or
ganize in defense of human rights now
threatened by the greatest free govern
ment in history. Let every citizen
study the facts and make his conclusion
known, combining with his neighbors to
influence congress to stand true to the
principles Of the declaration by which
this government was founded and under
which it has grown so great. The
gravest danger our country has known
till now, has come from denial of
those principles. We appeal from those
who for the moment exercise the power
of the nation to the people who are the
nation-that nation which, on July 4,
1776, was conceived in liberty and ded-
icated to the proposition that all men
are created equal"

Fine Flour had for Teeth.
From the London Chronicle.

From the lOnQOD CnrOnlcle
At the annual meeting of the British Den
tai Association Mr.. Thomas G. Read read a
paper on Some Chemical Changes In the
Mouth During the Masticatfon of Bread
Composed of Roller Flour" and contended
that the increase in dental carries during
the past forty years was due to roller
milling having largely replaced stone mill
ing, and argued that modern bread itself
directly caused the destruction of tooth
tissue, as there was greater amount of
acid generated in the mouth during the
mastication of bread composed of roller
flour, than when composed of stone-milled.
1t appeared that wherever the roller mill
was in operation cartous teeth were found,
instead of the sound ones of the days of
the stone mill.
It. had been noticed that In various parts
Of the world the natives in the interior
had better teeth than those in the towns
and those near the coast. 1t was found on
testing for acid that the roller flour bread
holus was much more acid than the other
Mr.. Hugh Candy, chemist to the London
Hospital, having tested both kinds Of bread
reported that he found In the case of the
bread composed of one1rnilled flour that
the acidity remained stationary; whereas
in the case of the bread composed of roller
flour mastication appeared to promote an
increase OF 43 per cent In the acidity. Den
tistry, said Mr.. Read, was liberal pro-
fession, and besides correcting the ravages
of dental carries. It was their duty to en-

professors, has reported as the result of
thousands of experiments, that men are
more sensitive than women; that they re-
spond to more delicate impressions and
feel pain more keenly. The superior forti-
tude of woman has always been regarded
as one of her greatest claims to admIra-
tion. In the chair of the dentist she has
endured in silence the operations under
which man howls and kicks and strug-
giles to escape. Some years ago Professor
Lombroso, the Italian iconoclast, affirmed
that woman bears pain better than man
only because she feels II less The prin-
cipal Of Chicago high school in which
there were 900 boys and girls added his
testimony to that of the Italian, saying
that In the laboratory most Of the broken
test tubes could be traced to the girls; that
In all delicate manipulatlons the boys
showed finer sense of touch. He ex-
pressed the opinion that II boys should be
trained to the use Of the needle they would
do neater work than Is done by women.
All this has been denied; but so far the
proofs seem to be on the side Of the mas
culine party. A Chambersbur4 young wo-
man appears to be willing t. concede some
Of the assertions which have been made
by Professor Stratton-especially the state
ment that men are keener Of vision and
hearing than women. In letter to the
as to sight and hearing than women is II
not because they are nearer to the saw
ages?" She points to the well-known fact
that Indians can beat the white man at
seeing and hearing. Also she notes that
men are more liable than women to de-
fects of vision. although that has nothing
to do with the question as 10 which has
the finer organization. MANY men are
color blind she says. "and few or no wo-
men are so afflicted"
1t Is hardly fair to make positive effirma-
tions on the basis Of men and women as
they are found by those VINO make the in
vestigations. Social conditions determine
how far the delicacy OF the special senses
may be developed; and hitherto 1t has been
almost exclusively the male who has had
the burden Of supporting the family and
who has had an incentive To develop his
skill In many directions. When, however
1t becomes necessary for woman to APPLY
herself directly and persistcntly to the
training of q sense she shows herself to he
at least as capable as Is the man Of achiey-
Ing refinement. In the two conspicuous
cases In which the senses Of touch has been
extremely developed the subjects have
been women. Laura Bridgeman and Helen
Keller have established standard of sense
education which no man has reached With
only the sense OF touch to rely on, Mas

From the Buffalo Comercial.
Previous to the accession Of Theodore
Roosevelt. New York had furnished four
Presidents Of the republic. and he is
therefore the fifth in the line credited TO
this state. Only two Of these, however,
were directly elected to the office, and
the other three. including Mr.. Roosevelt.
succeeded from the vice presidency on the
death Of the President. In accordance with
the constitutional provision The New
York Presidents elected as such were Mar
tin Van Buren. in 1886. and Grover Cleye-
land. in 1884. and again in 1892 The New
York Vice Presidents who attained the
chief magistracy were Millard Fillmore,
on the death Of Zachary Taylor, in 1880;
Chester A. Arthur on the death of James
A. Garfield in 1881, and Theodore
Roosevelt on the death of william Nc
Kinley. In 1901. President Arthur snc-
ceeded Garfield in the first year OF his
term. on September 10, and served three

dent Roosevelt's term will be Ave days

Anglo-Bser Cricket Match,

From the London Chronicle.
We can beat the Beers at cricket. at all

consolation as we can for the more serious
game which refuses TO be finished In South
Africa. In the cricket intelligence OF this
morning nothing is more interesting than
the match Colombo Colts VS.. Boer prisoners.
which was played at Colombo IN the first
week OF this month. The Imprisonment OF
the prisoners OF Ceylon is a gentle infiic-
ton, for the eleven came over to Colombo
on parole. and doubtless were received with
British hospitality by their hosts and con-
querors. 1t is odd to reflect that a couple

Kotze. have already played against Lord

sented South Africa In England had they
not taken up the sterner game of war.

as chief Of the Prussian press bureau, Dr.
Aegidi remarks that his hero's soul was
filled with the power of poetry, and he
was a poet through and through. without,

verse" But DR.. Aegidi must be strangely
ignorant or forgetful to have committed
himself to such statement. The truth is
that the iron chancellor had very happy
knack for versification, and several of his
epigrams are sstill current Perhaps the
best of these is the one he wrote in a lady 8
album underneath the words inscribed by
Moltke, "Falsehood fades, but Truth en-
dures." To this Bismarck replied:

But with the falsehoods of this life

The Hamakua drought and It's forest

cradle and serious injury to that district.
1t win not be irreparable, for Harnakua is
peculiarly subject to droughts. They oc-

very old natives had a very good ira

Modern science has not bothered itself

ADVANTAGES OF CONSOLIDATION

Wages are higher, prices are lower. in
vestments are safer. more productive and
more cer,ain of return. People
in this country live better today than
they ever did beforein their lives. This
is due, 1 believe, very largely to the i'm
proved methods of production. There
are fewer drones in the hive. fewer people
who share the results Of work without
doing any work themselves.
All progress is the development Of
order. A uniform method is the highest
form of order. The benefit accruing to
the people. and the extent Of their pro-
gress, will be in proportion to the extent
of the application of uniform methods to
the production of what they require.
