MISSOURI RIVER IMPROVE.
MENT.
A committee chosen by the lati
Missouri river convention at St
Joseph is now in Washington for tbi
purpose of urging upon Congress dm
recognition of the claims of the Mia
souri river upon the national treasury
And to oak that uch appropriation !
shall bo made as will render its navi
gation safe , and at all times reliable
According to the report of Mayo :
Suter the river can bo improved so n :
to secure a uniform depth of twolvi
foot at low water from its mouth ti
Sioux City , and at a cost not exceed
ing $10,000 per mile , or $7,820OOC
in the aggregate. This sum is ro
apecttully requested from Congress 01
behalf of a section of the country
which produces 780,000,000 busholi
of cereals annually , including ono
dhird of the entire corn crop of tin
.country.
Cheap transportation is the greatest
nd'moat crying need of the west
The cost of transportation largely
regulates the price realized by tin
producer on his raw material. Ii
the memorial cf the Iowa logislatun
to .Congress it vas pointed out thai
the products of this section of tin
west hayo , at the present time , BO fai
outgrown our aioano of trans
portation that fully one
ha'f ' of the price of si
that we produce is .consumed in tin
form of freights fiiuxl and rogulatoc
by the corporation * who have undls
puted control of our means of trans
portation. This control is likely to
bo maintained unless measures an
taken to render available the great
natural artery of commerce whicli
passes through the great atates ol
Iowa , Nebraska , % Kansas and Mis
souri. According to the last conuus
thn aggregate population of the four
states was 6,198,103 inlubitanta. They
produced in 1880 , five hundred and
eighty-six million bushels of corn and
nearly 800,000,000 bushels of grain.
It la estimated that such an improve
ment of the Missouri aa will make it
for nine monthi in the year
I
will s\vo ( to Nebraska , Iowa , Kansas
and Missouri farmers fully $100,000-
000 < > ach your and to the farmers of
Nebraska alone § 20,000,000 per an-

in this subject of river improvement
by the people of the west arises from
the belief tint free nnd open water

THE JAPANESE INDEMNITY
FUND-
A press dispatch announces tha
the bill authorizing the payment o
the Japanese indemnity fund 01
$1,870,340 to the Japanese government
mont , with the exception of $254,000
which is to bo paid to the ofiicors ant
crow of the United States ship Wyom

house amid applause.
The friendly relations botweor
Japan and the government of tin
United States , which wore so happily
inaugurated by Oommodoro Perry it
1853 , have since that time been bu
once interrupted. The occasion -arosi
in 1801 , when n noted daimio rebel n
waa with the existing government it
Japan iirod upon a foreign vessel it
the employ of another daimio. Thi
act of a rebellious subject was wrong
fully construed as an insult by tin
allied powers of Franco , Holland
England and the United States , nn <
was brought to the attention of tin
Japanese government , which dis
claimed nil intention of unfrieiidh
ness , made most profuse apologies fo
tno incident and professed itself un
bio to control the rebel duimio. Tin
powers in question thereupon' formo <
a fleet , visited the rebel town and in
fliotcd severe punishment upon tin
offender , after which a convention wa
called and a promise exhorted fron
Japan that she would pay an indemnity
nity of $3,000,000 for damage inflicted
flictod and trouble occasioned on nc
count of the war. The sum wn
apportioned among the four powore
The shuro of the United Slate
amounted to about $700,000 in rotur ;
for damages nnd expenses of abou
§ 50,000. When this sum had beoi
moro than half paid the cool judgmon
of our people began to assort itself. I
was argued that it was a cowardly ac
in a powerful nation to extort such
sum from a weak country when in
state of revolution and strong advc
catos on the floor of Congress urge
the return of the money with accumulated
mulatod interest , to the Japanese gov
eminent. On account of this foolin
the money was never covered into th
treasury but was allowed to acoumu
late awaiting its final disposition b
Congress. Meantitno Franco , Eng
land and Holland wore domandin
from the Mikado that he should ope
his ports to the trade of all nation
and upon his refusal called for th
payment of the unpaid portion of th
debt of 18C4. This action force
from our government n like daman
which was made and mot. Since the
every session of Congress has wil
nesscd the introduction of n bill to re
turn the full amount with nccunn
latod interest nnd the passage of Mot :
day's bill to this effect will bo heartl

SCIENCE AND THE WOMAN
QUESTION.
One of the most interesting arti
cles bearing upon the question of the
physical and mental equality of the
SOXOB which has recently appeared ifl
that by Miss M. A. Hardakor , which
occupies a leading position in the
pages of tho.current number of The
Popular Science Monthly. Tlio reForm -
Form philosophy of thu suffering sis ;
ters has for its object the breaking
down of the diverse relations which
are founded upon a difference of sex ,
\dmitting an inferiority in the posi
tion and power of women in the econ
omy of thu ntato , it claims that thu
inferiority is duo to neanj
temporary causes , which have their
origin in long centuries of prejudice ,
and are maintained by laws which dis
criminate against and render diflicull
any genuine political or mental ad
vancement on the part of woman.
The object of Miss Hadakor's ' paper
is to show that this admitted differ
ence is duo to permanent conditions
not removable by legislation and
against which all agitation will bo
useless. Taking uu the latest works
upon differences in brain weights nnd
moasuromontn she quotes Professor
Bastiat'o remark that the general su
periority in absolute weight of
the male over the female
brain exists at any period of develop
ment , the dilfuronco according to the
consent of nil accepted authorities
being about ten per cent. The mean
weight of the avurago brain ia 49 |
ounces ; that of the foiralo brain 4-i
ounces , It M further given , sayc
Miss Uardaker , on the authority o
Gratiolot and others , that tlio malt
brain cannot fall below 37 ounce !
without involving idiocy , while tin
fcmalo may fall to 32 ounces withou
auch a result. From these facts the
author deduces arguments as to tlu
relative brain power of the sexes. I
is as probable , nays Miss Hnrdaker
that there is as exact a correspondence
once between brain substance and intelligence
tolligonco as there is between the sizi
of the lungs and breathing powoi
nnd the contractile power of the hoar
and the quantity of blood propollcc
through the arteries at each pulsation
Matter and fore3 are in&oparablo am
all human onur y ia primarily derivoc
from food consumption. The nmoun
of food consumed by man exceeds tha
of woman by twenty per cout. , nnc
this twenty per cont. in the nggrogat
represents an excess of power oitho
physical or mental or both over th
other BOX. "Food converted int
muscle will reappear as work ; fee
converted into brain \fi\l \ reappear a
thought and spoooh. "
Handicapped by nature by thcs
conditions woman's inferior ! !
to man cannofbo overcome by logia
lation which must fail to touch th
original andj permanent 'causes of th
difference of position between th
sexoa. History has shown that wo
men have done something of uoarl
everything that men have done , bu
their offerings have boon fewer an
smaller. Physical superiority , greato
and moro continuous powers of can
contration resulting from that physi
cal superiority , make any such a sup
position as an oven chance for th
two sexes under the same coudition
an impossibility.
Miss Hardakor sums up as follows
ono of the strongest elements of th
argument from physiology :
The perpetuation of the humai
apecies is dependent on the functioi
of maternity , nnd probably 20 poi
cent of the energy of women botwooi
twenty nnd forty years of ago is di
verted for the maintenance of nm
tornity nnd its attendant exactions
Upon the supposition that woman'
mental endowment wore exactly cqua
to man's , the amount diverted to maternity
tornity must bo continually sub
tracted from it , so that any origina
equality of intellect would certain ! '
be lost through maternity. ' Tin
diversion of power would alsc
occur in the years o
highest physical vigor. This porioi
in man is that of most active intellcc
t'ual development , because the physi
col basis of intellectual energy is mos
abundant in those years. Consequent
ly , his period of greatest intollootua
gain corresponds to her period of great
cat loss.
To make this position more intelligible
giblo , let us suppose the number o
men and women in the world to bi
exactly equal. Lot us further supposi
them to bo of exactly the same weight
nnd lot us add the condition of exact
ly the same quantity nnd quality o
brain in both , Vim onu ROJ
would have txao , y tlio tunu
capacity for transforming onortr ;
aa the other , nnd tins wouk
bo the ( ideal condition of thingi
for which the reformers plead. But
BO soon as a ainglo child is born , i
certain amount of woman's energy ii
transformed and imparted to u now
individual. The development of the
individual woman holds a constantly
invorao ratio to the multiplication o
tlio species , The maintenance of in
tellectual equality between the BOXOB
is impossible , bocaiuo it is only sup.
; ) )8ablo by the creation of impossible
conditions. If our original men and
women , who were in all rospoctz
equal , hud no offspring , the equality
vould contlnuo for a generation , until
ho pocios ahould have disappeared
ith the deAth of the last o ( those
lypothotical beings.
The article throughout is a thought-
ul and carefully written presentation
f the physiological argument ngainst
ho equality of the sexes , This ar-
, 'umont is ono which advocates of an
mpossiblo nnd impracticable reform
l find it most diflicnl , to meet.
The right to suffrage presumably rests
ipon the ability of electors to per-
orm the duties devolving upon the
citizens of the state and not to any
ri ht inherent in the individual ,
[ licking in the aggregate such capac <
ty because nature has wisely provi
ded other channels for the directioi :
of their energy , the best interests o !
women will bo best consulted and
.hoso of the state itsulf will bo con
served by the denial nf any furthoi
extension of the elective franchise.
THE CREATION OF VALUE.

Wo derive from these tacts n lessor
'or our own Nobra'ka. The highrsl

} cst on his farm is the man who know
iiow to woo nature most successfully ,
The ancients thought each district o

n shading of the fact that nature pro

war with the genii of Nebraska. A
man might as well expect to prospci
with n life long quarrel with his wih

Many a man has been sadly worstcc
by bringing an eastern system of farm

not succeed. But when a man studici
the adaptations of our wonderfu
prairie state , and keeps on the righ
side of nature , and docs what ho cat
do , instead of trying what ho can"
do , ho will succeed. For instance , i
man in Illinois who has had a beautiful
