PHILADELPHIA, April 12. The fifth
annual meeting of tho American Academy
of Political and Social Science began here
today and will contlnuo tomorrow. Tho
general topic Is "America's Hace Prob
lems," and tho many phases of that sub
ject were ably discussed. An address was
delivered tonight by Prof. Edward Rots,
formerly of Lcland Stanford, Jr., university,
bow a member of tbo faculty of tho Uni
versity of Nebraska, who spoke on "The
Causes of Hace Superiority." Ho spoke as
follows:
I will (iibn nt l.:mt 1 tvn nr tliren irpnprfl-
ilons to level up tho' industrial methods
of contlnentH like South America or Africa
or Asia, ns a Jamaica, a Martinique, or a
Hawaii have been leveled up; and all
thin time thut nice which excels In energy
atelf-rellnnce and education will have, tho
advantage. Whan this furiously dynamic
epoch' close, when tho world becomes more
static and unlformlsm recurs, self-reliance
will bo at a discount nnd tho conditions
.will .again favor the, rare that i patient
laborious, frugnt, Intelligent nnd apt In
.consolidation. Then .perhaps tho Celtic. and
Mediterranean races will scbrc against tho
Anglq-guxon.
Preserves Pride of UI001I.
Trio superiority of a race cannot be pre
served without pride of blood nnd an un
compromising attitude toward the lower
races. In Spanish America the easygoing
and unfastldlouH Spaniard peopled the con
tinent with hnlf-brecdH and met the natives
half way In respect to religious and politi
cal institutions. In Kant Africa and Brazil
the Portuguese showed toward tho natives
even less of that race aversion which Is
sn characteristic of tho Dutch and the
Kngllsh. In North America, on tho other
hand, the white men liavo rarely mingled
their blood with that of tho Indian or
toned down their civilization to meet hli
capacities. The Kpanlitril absorbed the
Indians, tho HiikIIkIi exterminated tliom by
fair play or foul. Whatever may be thought
of the lattor policy tho net result Is, North
America from tho iicring wen to tho Itlo
Grande Is iledlonted to the hlKhert typo
of civilization; whllo for centuries tho rent
of our hemisphere will drag tin ball and
chain of hybridism,
In the presence, of the plenty produced
by Its triumphant energy iho superior race
forma what tho economists call "a standard
qf comfort," and refuses to multiply save
upon this plane. With his nHtivo ambition
stimulated by tho opportunity to rise nnd
his natural foresight reinforced by educa
tion, tho American, for example, overrule
his strongest Instincts and refrains from
marrying or from Increasing his family
until ho can ronllzo his subjective standard
of comfort or deconcy. Tho power to form
utul cling to such a standard is .not only
one of tho noblest triumphs of reason over
pusslon, hut is, in sooth, tho only suro hopo
for tho elevation of tho mass of men from
the abyss of want nnd struggle. Tho prog,
ress of Invention held out such a hope,
but It has proved a mockery. Steam and
machinery, It Is true, eased for n little
the strain of population on resources; but
If the birth rnte starts forward and tho
slack Is soon taken up by the Increase
of mouths, tho ilnal result Is simply more
People living on the old plnne. The rosy
glow thrown upon the future bv progress
In the Industrial arts proves biit a fatso
down unless the common people acquire
new wants nnd raise tho piano upon which
they multiply.
Wcnlini'M of lllslnsr Slniiilnril.
Now this rising standard which alone
can pilot lis toward the golden ago Is a
rnlrtl weakness when a race comes to com
pete Industrially with a capable race that
multiplies on a lower plnne. Huppoe, for
example. Asiatics nock to this country
and, enjoying equal opportunities under our
laws, learn our methods nnd compote ac
tively with Americans. They may be able
to produce nnd therefore earn In the or
Spring Medicine
In thousands and tliommuife of homes, in cities, towns and villages,
three doses a day of Hood's Barsapavilla are now being taken by every mem
ber of the family.
In some homes, even tho visitor is given a teaspoonfnl with every meal.
Why such wldo and general use? Because
Hood's Sarsaparilla
Has proved itself by its wonderful efforts
In elonsing the system of all humors, over
coming that tired feeling, creating appetite,
clearing the complexiou, giving strength and

Fashionable
Suits, Skirts
and Waists
The growth of pur business in ready-to-wear
garments has been phenomenal,
dinary occupation, say three-fourths as
much as Americans; but If their standard
of life Is only half as high, tho Asiatic
will marry before the American feels nblo
to marry. The Asiatic will ronr 'children
while his compctltot feels nblo to rear
but one. Tho Asiatic will Incrense his
children to six under conditions that will
not encourage the American to raise more
than four. Hoth, perhaps, aro forward
looking and Influenced by tho worldly
prospects of thulr children: but whore tho
Oriental Is satisfied with the outlook the
American, who expects to school his chil
dren longer and place them better, shakes
his head.
Now to sucn a competition there arc
three posslblo results. First, tho American
may become discouraged, relinquish his ex
acting standard of decency und .begin to
multiply as freely as tho Asiatic. This,
however. Is likely to occur only among the
moro reckless and worthless elements of
our population. Second, the Asiatic may
cuicn up our wants, ns wen as our arts,
and acqulro the higher standard and lower
rate of Increase of tho American. This Is
Just .what contact nnd education are doing
for the French Canadians In Now Englnnd,
tor the immigrants in tne west nnd tor the
negro In some parts of tho south; but the
members of a great culture- race like the
Chinese show no disposition, even when
scattered sparsely among us, to assimi
late to us or to adopt our standards. Not
until their self-complacency has been un
dermined nt home and an extensive Intel
lectual ferment has taken place In China
. Itself will the Chinese become assimilable
I elements. Thirdly, tho standards may re-
main distinct, tho rates of increase un
equal, and the silent replacement of Amer
icans by Asiatics go on unopposed until tho
latter monopolize nil Industrial occupations,
anil tho Americans shrink to a superior
caste, ablo perhaps by virtue of Its genius.
Its organlznton and Its vantage of posi
tion to retain for a while Its hold on gov
ernment, education, finance and tho direc
tion of Industry, but hopelessly beaten and
displaced as a race. In other words, the
American farmhand, mechanic and opera
tive might wltlier-,away before the heavy
Influx of n proliflc race from' the Orient,
Just as In clusslc times tho Latin husband
man viinisneu nerore me enuiess stream or
slaves poured Into Italy by her triumphant
generals.
Xesv KiiKlnnri' Low Birth Hnte.
Now for a case like this I can And no
words so apt as "raco suicide." There Is
no bloodshed, no violence, no assault Of tho
race that wuxeH upon the race that wanes.
The higher race quietly and unmurmur
Ingly eliminates Itself rather than endure
Individually the bitter competition It has
failed to ward off from Itself by collective
action. The working classes gradually de
lay marriage and restrict the slzo of the
family us tho opportunities hitherto re
served for their children are eagerly
snapped up by the numerous progeny of
tho foreigner. Tho prudent self-resncctlnB
natives first cease to expand and then, as
the Htruggle for existence grows sterner
nnd the outlook for their children darker,
they fall even to recruit their own num
bers. It Is probable the visible narrowing
of the circle of opportunity through the
, Inllltrntlon of Irish and French Canadians
that hns brought so low the native birth
rate In Now K.ngland.
However th's muy bo. It I certnln that
If wo venture to apply to tho American
people of today the series of tests of mi-
' perlorlty 1 have set forth to you at such
I length, the result Is most gratifying to
our pride. It Is true that our nvorogo of
I energy and character is lowered by Iho
presence In tho south of severnl millions
of an Inferior race. It Is true that the
last twenty years have diluted us with
masses of fecund but beaten humanity
frnm the hovel of far I.omhnrtlv or Gulicla.
It Is true that our free laud is gone and
our opportunities will henceforth attract
Immigrants chiefly from tho humbler strata
of east Kuropean peoples. Vet while thcro
nro hero problems that only high states
manship can solve, I believe thero is at
tho piesent moment no people In tho world
that Is man for man equnl to the Amer
icans In capacity and efficiency. Wo stand
now nt he moment when the process of
selective migrations has completed Its
work. Tho tonic selections of tho frontier
hnve done for us all they can.
I Free Irstltutlous and universal education
have keyed to the highest tension the am
bitions of the American. He has been
chiefly former and Is only beginning to
expose himself to the deteriorating Influ
ences of city and factory. He Is now prob
ably at the climax of his energy and every,
thing promises that In tho centuries to
come lie is destined 10 piny a nriiiinni anu

Definite Propumlloii from
(he Promoters.
At a mass meeting In the Commercial club
rooms last night the question of voting
bonds to aid tho construction of the pro
posed Kansas Southern, road Into Omaha
was discussed and flnnlly referred to a com
mittee. This committee, A. L. Heed, E. E.
Ilruee, O. W. Wattles, F. P. Kirk
cndall and Euclid Martin, was. author
ized to confer with tho promoters, sccuro
from them a more definite proposition nnd
report to another mass meeting, tho date
of which remains to bo set
Charles 11. Pickens, president of the club,
called the meeting to order nnd asked Euclid
Martin to preside. Mr. Martin Introduced
Charles S. Wheeler, president of tho pro
posed rond, who gave his reasons for want
ing to build Into Omaha. Ho said that the
men behind' the enterprise wcro not pro
moters or schemers, but Wore responsible
business men of Kansas City who courted
Investigation as to their standing. About a
year and a half ago the proposition was pre
sented to them to assist In building nine
miles of road In central Knnsas. They In
vestigated the proposition and built the
road, making a survey fd Emporia, Kan. It
Is a good proposition from a local stand
point In that territory, he said, ns It passes
through ono of the best sections of the
state
XI 11c Miles ns n Stnrter.
In tbo nlno miles of road the company has
invested $100,000 and has mado provision for
$300,000 moro to build an additional thirty
four miles to connect with tho Union Pa
cific and Santa Fo roads. Uonds In the
amount of $125,000 have been voted in aid
of tho road between Its present southern
terminus and Emporia.
When It. M. Snyder of Kansas City was
brought Into the deal he suggested that tho
line bo extended to Omaha, nnd this visit
Is tho result.
"We are prepared to build n line from
Omahn to Emporia," said the speaker, "at
a cost of about $3,000,000, provided wo rc
celvo tho encouragement to which wo aro
entitled and which all new roads ask. Wo
expect no opposition from the roads whoso
lines we cross. Wo know wo reach a ter
rltory unexcelled anywhere, but It Is fair to
assumo always that a railroad will not pay
until It has been operated from ono to Ave
years, nnd thcrofore It has been considered
right for tho new roads to ask for nsslst
anco. Therefore, wo ore here. I know that
Kansas City has always aided every railroad
enterprise which promised to extend Its
trade.
"We can offer you the tattle shipments of
the southwest nnd a road to the Gulf. It Is
entirely an independent road at present and
will remain so. At Emporia wo tap three
roads which do not enter Omaha directly,
and we know we can make satisfactory traf
lie arrangements with tho Memphis, Kan'
sas & Texas line.
"This Is not a scheme to get a franchise
or subsidy to place upon the market, but
wc moan to build the road."
Terminal KnclUtlrx for Omnha.
Tho speaker then took up tho question of
bonus. He finds It will be nn cxpenslvo
matter to secure terminal facilities la
Omaha. He then made a definlto proposition
as follows:
"Our proposition was to ask $250,000 and
terminal facilities estimated to cost an
equal amonnt. Now the terms aro changed
so that In addition to the Issue of $250,000,
a terminal company Is to be formed with a
capital stock of $500,000, one-halt to be sup
piled by tho Kansas Southern company and
one-half by tho citizens of Omaha the peo
plo subscribing tho stock to receive stock
and bonds In tho terminal company to that
amount, Tho charter of the terminal com
pany Is to provide that Its facilities can
be used by all roads desiring to enter the
city, but the Kansas Southern Is to have
tho use free of charge,
In submitting these terms ho said that
until tho road was built Into Omaha it was
delivering goods to crossing roads for de
livery to Kansas City and St. Joseph, and
was proving to be a good proposition.
When ho had finished, Kuclld Martin said
ho thought the building of tho road would
bo n good thing, but tho question Is now
whether the city is In a position to vote
bonds. He thought the matter should be
discussed and some conclusion reached at
this meeting. He spoke In high terms of
Mr. Wheelor.
Herman Kountzo said bis connection with
tho project canto through a communication
from It. M. Snyder, who wanted to know If
Omaha parties would take hold of the mat
ter. Ho replied that ho thought tho project
wan n good one, but ho was not In a position
to take any financial Interest In It.
Meeting; with Knn Cniiltnlinls.
He certified to tho standing of Mr. Snyder
and gave a report of the first and second
meetings held with tho Kunsas City pnrtlos
as heretofore published, Ho thought the
rond, If It could establish favorable trafllc
arrangements with other lines, would bo a
good thing, nnd helloved that the matter
should be considered from an Omaha stand
point.
C. II, Pickens thought that someone
should explain tho proposed route of the
road. Mr. Kountzo stated there has been 110
survey mado north of tho present northern
"It Is about twelve years since I first saw
Hood's BarBaparilla advertised, and we be
gan using It as a Spring modlclne. We
have used It every year since with good re
sults and I recommend It to others for
Impur-s blood and that tired feeling," MRS.
I. STEWAHT, Clarldge, Pa.
terminus, but that the line on tho map
showed the route over which It was desired
to build,
O. W. Wattles and others thought the line
woilld be an advantage to the city nnd
should receive encouragement, but none
favored the Issue of bonds. Mr. Wattles
thought the town Is big enough to attract
railroads without Incurring additional debt.
When railroads In tho west wcro In a ten
tative stage bonds were all right, but to
day the wholesale and manufacturing In
terests should be nblo to bring the road If
It was to pay at any time. Ho did not be
lieve that bonds could bo voted at this time,
as the people of Omaha seem to desire to
get out of debt, both Individually nnd as a
municipality.
P. E. Her thought Omaha could well af
ford to pay, $2,-, 0,000 for the road, but that
Omaha should have representatives on the
directory of the company.
Vote Farnrnlile to Itomls.
A. L. llecd th6ught that the meeting
should appoint ir committee of live to lake
up tha uisUttr with tho promoters nnd nB
certain If something In tho woy of an un
derstanding In regard to rates cannot bo se
cured, nnd that the committee should take
up the matter of terminal facilities. Omaha
needs the rood, and If It cun get control of
the rates by voting $250,000 bonus ho would
favor tho bond Issue.
A. P. Tukey voiced the sentiment, "No
moro bonds forever for railroads," and this
was echoed by W. II. Clrcen, who stated,
however, that ho might change his mind It
It were shown that Omaha would get the
worth of Its money.
From a wholesaler's standpoint, T. C.
Dyrno of tho Uyrne-llanimer Dry Goods
company thought the lino would bo a good
thing for those tnte:cBts, but as to bonds
he would havo to bo shown that It would
Increase values In the city. Tho line would
bring trade to tho city which now goes to
other towns. E. E. Druco would favor bonds
If It were nssured that tho road would al
ways bo Independent and operated In tho
Interests of Omaha, but If It was opposed by
tho lines now In existence It would hnvc a
hard tlmo to attract business.
On the suggostlon of E, E. Druco n voto
was taken on the question of voting bonds
In aid of tho road. The voto stood 15 to S
In favor of voting aid under proper condi
tions nnd safeguards, It being generally un
derstood that Omaha should bo represented
on tho board of directors should bonds be
Issued.
WOMEN BREAK THE RECORD

Imposition.
To the women who volunteered to con
duct the Auditorium exposition one evening
tor the benefit of the Auditorium belongs
tho honor 'of having broken tho record for
ash receipts. It was not a favorablo night,
but tho crowd In attendance was estimated
at 1,500 people, mostly from socially prom
inent circles nnd homes of nlllucncc. The
committee of women was In complete control
and brooked no denials from those who wcro
able to help out tho exposition by modest
expenditures for tbo mnny pleasures tho
cveulng afforded. The booths were all In
charge of women and the games were oper
ated by them and were well patronized. Mrs.
Harry Wellor, Mrs. VnnCourt and Mrs. E.
V. Lewis administered the obligation to
largo numbers of novitiates In the buffalo
wallow, while Dr. Bailey's wife did effective
service as outside guard. The Ice cream sec
tion, In charge of Mrs. Clcmont Chase and
a corps of agreeable assistants, did consid
erable business..
The most stirring evcut of the evening
was the MUcment of the disputed question
an to whd Is tho most popular woman In
Omaha. Fred Paffenrath and Jay D. Foster
conducted tho contest aud put a great deal
of spirit Intc It. Upon tho big board wcro
chalked tha names of Mrs. Sorgcant Ho

C. Peters, Mrs. Henry Ponny, Miss Ruth
Wcller, Miss Florence Lewis, Mrs. Daniel
H. Wheolor, Jr., and Mrs, Howard DBldrlge,
All of them hud votes In varying numbers
cast by admiring friends, but the race
seemed to be for a tlmo between Mrs. Will
Wood and Mrs. Penny. As It ncared Iho
time for tho close of the voting, however.
a man came forward and dropped $25 In gold
coin Into the hopper for Mrs. Debout, and
when tlmo was called two men, each with
a $20 bill to cast, 0110 for Mrs. Penny nnd
the other for Mrs. Wood, were shut out be
cause they waited to get their money In nt
the last moment. The prize, therefore, went
to Mrs, Hebout. who received 2.S31 voles,
Mrs. Penny being second with 2,700. Tho
prize was a handsome burnt wood secretary
and chair to match.
In the theatorlum a program was enacted
under tho guldnnco of Mrs, Ueorge W.
Hooblcr, who has been the active head -of

NEW YORK, April 12. William H. Coffin
of this city, who was a former partner In
tho banking house of Collin & Stanton,
which mado a general assignment In ISO I,
tiled u petition In bankruptcy lu the United
States district court today. Ho schedules
hb liabilities at $4,150,'j07 and assets at
f 25, which Is cash In bank. Tho secured
claims amount to $2,980,173.
The debts aro all old ones, havlns been
contracted by the firm In Its usual trans
actions of a banking house business prior
to the assignment In IS!) I. Mr. Cofllu, the
petitioner, Is liable on all tho claims named
In tho laws governing partnership liabili
ties. In October, 1MH, tho house made a
general assignment (or the bene lit of credi
tors to Newman Krb, Later, by au order of
court, Thomas 1'. Wicko was mado re
ceiver of ail the assets of tho firm.
Collin's petition names hundreds of credi
tors whose claims rnugo In amount from
hundreds of thoutands to n fow dollars.
Tho largest creditors who hold no security
nro the city of Santa Cruz, $332,000, and
tho city of Irouwood, Mich., for $115,000,
theso sums being duo the respective munici
palities on contracts for bonds purchased.
The petition states that among tho con
tingent liabilities Is a n.-te payable to Rus
sell Sago for $13,000. Many of the creditors
have long since placed their clalma In the
form of judgments and have realized a
certain percentage on the securities held
by them.
The petition Is filed by Mr. Coflln
through his counsel, Boardmnn, I'latt &
Solely. ,C. L. Klngsley of this firm said
today that the liabilities were all from tho
Coflln & Stanton days and that no new
liabilities had been contracted by William
Edward Cofiln since then.
Mr. Klngsley explained thnt It was simply
an action on the part of Mr. Coffin to tako
advantage of the new bankruptcy law and
thus clear himself from the enormous lia
bilities of the defunct firm, for which he
under other circumstances would bo liable.
Mr. Coflln Is now employed by Roberts &
Co., bunkers, In this city.
Coflln & Stanton were bankers and pro
moters, with offices at 72 Broadway. On
October 6, 1893, Walter Stantou, tho Junior
member of tho firm, npplled to Judgo l.a
combo of the United States circuit court
to have a receiver appointed with a view to
winding up tho firm's affairs.
At that tlmo It was alleged that Mr.
Stanton's dissatisfaction with Mr. Coflln's
management of the business of the firm
brought, about this movement. The real
nnd Immediate cause of the failure of the
Arm was said to have been tho refusal of
the tank of the Manhattan company to ex
tend further credit to the banking house.
As a result of tho application, aud after
tho assignment. Judge I.acombu appointed
Newman Krb receiver, succeeding Thomas
P. Wlcke.
Tho firm, It was said, was In the habit
of making loans with western and New
England banks by putting up ns partial
security first-class bonds nnd slocks, and
hypothecating as balance of fcccurlty bonds
nnd stock of companies ' wblcil the firm
had promoted and which wcro practically
unmarketable. In furthering Its numerous
