THE WRIGHT SITE.
WRITTEN FOR THE CONSERVATIVE

WRITTEN FOR THE CONSERVATIVE.
While the isolated Indian village
sites thus far mentioned in connection
with the Nebraska State His
torical Society, and the de-
partment of archaeology, thereof,
have been interesting in way, the
center of Nebraska archaeology, so far
developed, is to be found in the vicin-
ity of Genoa, OH the Loup river.
Not only is this the point where the
early white settlers first came in con-
tact with the Pawnee Indians to any
great extent, but in the immediate
vicinity of Genoa there was once a
great gathering of aborigines; there
once existed the highest type of an
cient culture shown anywhere in the
state.
Genoa is built at the junction of the
Beaver with the Loup. Immediately
south of the Beaver is high point of
bluff which divides the two streams.
About mile from town and on the
point of this bluff is the Wright
Site,' named for @. r. Wright, who
owns the farm and runs all elevator
in Genoa.
This site covers all area of over
twenty acres, and seems to be the site
of a very ancient village, occupied
again in more recent times by another
more extensive village. Even all ap-
proximate date cannot be accurately de-
termined at this time one thing we
know, the Pawnees, who moved to
Genoa in 1858, knew nothing about it.
They insisted that they never lived
there, at first but later they told
parties that they did live there; one

the Pawnees were moved to Okla

ians on wild and broken shore will
never be forgotten by me, for the re-
Election at once rushed into my mind
such were our ancestors. These
men were absolutely naked and be-
daubed with paint, their long hair
was entangled, their mouths frothed
with excitement, and their expression
was wild, startled and distrustful.
They possessed hardly any arts, and
like wild animals, lived OH what they
could catch. They had no government
and were merciless to everyone not of
their own small tribe. He who has
seen savage in his native land, will
not feel much shame if forced to ac
knowledge that the blood of some
more humble creature flows i'll his
veins For my own part, l would as
soon be descended from the heroic lit
tie monkey who braved his dreaded
enemy in order to save the life of his
keepers, or from that old baboon who,
descending from mountain, carried
away in triumph his young comrade
from crowd of astonished dogs-as
from savage who delights to torture
his enemies. offers up bloody sacrifices,
practices infanticide without remorse,
treats his wives like slaves, knows no
decency, and is haunted by the gross
est superstition. Man may be excused
for feeling some pride at having risen,
though not through his own exer
tions, to the very summit of the or
ganic scale; and the fact of his having
risen, instead of having been aborigin
ally placed there, may give him hope
of still higher destiny in the dis
tant future -
now turn to the second part of the
problem of the evolution of man-the
evolution of the races of mankind.
A very few words upon this subject
will be sufficient. The origin of all
the races from common stock is now
generally admitted, since the difficulty
regarding sufficiency of time has
been removed, and the discovery Of
striking proofs of the great antiquity
Of man. Darwin, however, considered
natural selection inadequate to explain
clearly the origin of the different
races; and the full elaboration and
exposition of his theory of sexual
selection in the second part of the De-
scent of Man was written with the
object of supplying the necessary ex-
planation. Darwin's concluding OBJ
servation is, II conclude that, of all
the causes which have led to the diff
ferences in external appearances be-
tween the races of men, sexual selec-
tion has been the most efficient.
The third part of this problem is

larry of the Origin OF Species, so, evil
IDENTIFY, was Darwin convinced that the
gradual upward development of man
kind was a corollary of the animal
origin of man. Just as the develop
ment of the individual organism is
characterized by an increasing differ
entiation, and corresponding greater
division of labor, so with the social
organism. And, generally, just as
the extent of this differentiation and
division of labor determines the rank
of the organism in the scale Of life, so
with the social organism.-the more
complex it is, the greater the division
of labor within it, the higher does it
rank in the scale of what we call
civilization. The social organism
may be compared to the animal organ
ism, and must, like it, adapt itself to
it's environment. All changes, or
variations, which make this adoption
more harmonious will lead to an ad-
vance in the social organism, and the
viously apply. Social evolution neces-
sarily involves the adoption to the en-
vironment. AS long as the adoption
is imperfect, natural selection and sur
vival of the tittest will come into play,
and an upward tendency-what we
call can advance in civilization -
will be the result This is OH the as
sumption, of course, that the environ
ment undergoes no such radical cosmic
change as to be directly inimical to
the existence of the species. We must,
however, take into consideration all
the factors of the environment. The
so-called cosmic forces are now aided
by certain ethical forces, and the
struggle is transformed from the in
dividual to the community to such all
extent that the selection is now be-
tween aggregates of individuals instead
of between the individuals themselves.
But I cannot admit for one moment
that we have succeeded in counter
acting the evolutionary process. In
deed, am quite convinced that any
such exploit is beyond our power, even
if it were in the interest of the race.
Social evolution, like the evolution of
the individual, is nothing more than a
process of adoption to the environ
ment. The more harmonious this cor
respondence, the more advanced is (as
I have already mentioned) the evolu-
tion IN the sense of greater differen-
tiation and of greater division of
labor. The ideal would, suppose,
be reached when the adjustment of
the social organism to it's surroundings
was perfect. But the environment
must be perpetually changing, and,

SPRlNGMEYER EXONERATED.
Their Differences Settled With

The differences between Herman
Springmeyer and the state UNIVERSE
ty have been amicably settled with

The expulsion Of young Springney-

rounsed the old gentleman's ire.
Herman Springmeyer is wealthy
rancher residing in Gardnervilie.
He owns large tracts OF the produc-
tive veldt of Douglas county and when

His son is editorially inclined and
