JUST for the fun of seeing the con tortions of the calamity crowd THE BEE once more calls attention to the undh- putablo fact that Nebraska has laid away in her banks for emergencies $50- 500,000 , a sum equal to $17 for each man , woman and child in the slate. THE world's fair missionaries have not only enjoyed a very agreeable out ing on the continent , but. they bring back to thiH country the most hopeful reports.

DENVKK worklngmon have no interest in the Omaha strike , because they be lieve it in managed by the wrong crowd.

CAI.IKOKNIA ought to bo the cynosure of all scientific eyes on account of the topographical and climatic changes she is undergoing in the Colorado desert region , but scientific eyes are not at tracted to a blazing semi-tropical HUH in midsummer and so nature is left to tell her story to the luuiaim while the world waits for her winter to learn the actual results of floods , tidal waves and oarth- ritmlccs. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ DKCOUATIONS in Europe are becom ing decidedly cheap and frequent ex changes between sovereigns are the consequence. In republican America , foreign decorations are tabooed by law , hut republican Franco confers upon the crown prince of Denmark the grand cross of the legion of honor , for which courtesy , President Cut-not accepts the decoration of the Danish order of the elephant. CANADA has what she proudly terms n responsible ovoinmont. It has boon very common of late for Anglo-mnniacs to decry the American system and urge the advantages of that of Great Britain nnd her American province. The revolu tion now being made at Ottawa reveal u deeper degree of corruption In parlia mentary circles than history bus over ascribed to the American congress. The fact is the American system is ns nearly perfect a bchoino of popular government as man can dovlso nnd Americans do not all appreciate tbo truth of the observa tion. TIIH l-'AHMKll IX Tilt : Pt'Tl'KB. It Is hoped that every render of TllK BKK interested In the present condition of agriculture nnd the outlook for this most important of nil industries , gnve careful perusal to the article in the Sun day edition relating to this subject. There hart never boon n time when the question of the agricultural resources of the world commanded such serious at tention as it is now receiving , nnd the comprehensive statistics : collected by Mr. C. Wood Davit ) , himsolt n , farmer , with Iho intelligent conclusions drawn therefrom , are receiving world-wide attention. There was an extraordinary increase of cultivated area In the United States during the 14 yca-s ending with 18So , the pur contfigo being twice and it half that of the growth of population , but for the live years ending with 1890 the per coiitago of addition to the cultivated nt-oii was less limn the increase of popu lation , and according to Mr. Davis thin must continue until the area avail able for cultivation has been exhausted , nnd so far as wheat is concerned this will bo reached within a few years. His conclusion is that the United States must , within the next five years , cease to export wheat , and that as the world at that time will be short HOIUO U00,000- 000 bushels of wheat and a much larger amount of rye , with the corlainty of the shortage increasing from year to year , higli prices must obtain and continue. From this view Mi. Davis draws a pleasant picture of the future of the farmer , when ho will bo enabled to labor fewer hours , to have better houses , barns and gfanoricH , and will become himself a capitalist Instead of being at the mercy of capital. Admitting the correctness of Mr. Davis' statistics , which ho hascolloctcd with great patience and care , and ques tioning only whether he does not place the time too near when the wheat pro duction of the United States will bo no more than ia needed for homo consumption , his facls and con elusions are certainly of a na- lure to encourage and reassure the agricultural interests of the United States. "Whether this country shall cease to export the bro.id-making grains which Europe wanls five years hence , or shall continue for a longer period to produce them in excess of the wants of our own people , there appears every rea son to believe that the day of low and unprofitable prices Ins gone by and that an era of steadily advancing prosperity for the farmers of the United States lias begun. If this bhall bo verified it is not an idle prediction that before two decades have passed the west will change from the debtor to the creditor section of the nation. Such a forecast of the destiny of the west , pos sibly to bo roali/.od during the lifetime of the present generation , suggests a theme for the contemplation of states men and of the students of political and economic science. That the west is certain to become the center of political power in the nation no one doubts , but it is n new idea that it may become also the seat of financial power. TllK RACK ISSUK IX TllK ( ] .A. R. The Grand Army of the Republic has In recent years had presented to it few questions of greater Importance , as a test of the character and spirit of the organization , than the one which was passed Upon at the Detroit encampment , regarding the controversy over the color line , and it was mot and disposed of in a way most honor.iblo to the vet erans. The ibduo was made by the white members of the Grand Army in the south , who desire the separation of the white and colored races into distinct posts , and suggested a provisional de partment , having concurrent jurisdic tion , for colored veteran : ) . The fooling was expressed by the commander of the department of Louisiana and Missiaslppi , who said that the colored members of the Grand Army of the Republic in the posts of the south are outnumbering the whites , thus putting the latter under them. That , the commander said , the whites will not stand. They want to rule themselves and to have the colored go by themselves , and ho declared tint unless this was done , there would not bo u white member of the Grand Army south of the Ohio or Potomac river a your hence. The commander-ln-chiof , refer ring in his annual address to this ques tion recommended that authority bo given that olllclal to organize the pro visional department suggested. The majority of the committee ap pointed to report upon recommendations of the commnndor-in-chiof took decided ground against the proposal for a sepa ration of the white and colored veterans and the creation of a de partment for the latter , and their view was overwhelmingly sus tained by the encampment. It was said by the committee that the remedy sug gested would not only involve an amend ment to the rules and regulations of the organization , but It would bo a violent departure from the principles and spirit of the Grand Army. It wiw declared , and the declaration should have a. . con spicuous place in every post , so that it might become as familiar as a house hold word to all veterans , that "a man who was good enough to stand between the Ihiur and those who would destroy It when the fate of the nation was trembling in the balance , is good enough to be a comrade in any department of the Grand Army of the Republic. " No different rule has boon , It was said , or over shall bo , recognized by the survivors of the union army and navy. There should Ijo no distinctions by reason of color or nationality. Any nuvii who faithfully served his country and was honorably discharged from the service , and whoso record in civil life has boon honorable , should stand on nil equal footing with every other man In the Grand Army. The fraternity , charity nnd loyalty which the organization Inculcates must bo wit nessed by deeds na well ns words. There can bo no doubt of the wisdom and justice of this position , nnd It will strengthen the Grand Army In the re spect and confidence of the country. To have taken u different course nnd author ized the separation of the whlto nnd colored veterans would cer tainly hnvo boon disastrous to the or ganization. It could not have long sur vived such unjust and unpatriotic action. The position taken may have the effect to reduce the whlto membership of the Grand Army in the south , but this loss will do the order fur loss injury than uould hax'o resulted from the abandon ment of n. wise and just principle , and the organization is to bo heartily com mended for the stand it has taken re garding the race issue. TltK PHOFKSSIOftAl , ACITATOR , Every tnonil and social movement in augurated In this or any other country brings to the surface the professional agitator. IIo is sometimes nn overzealous - zealous advocate of a reform , honest at heart , rattlebrained , Inconsistent nnd energetic. This style of agitator loses money , alienates friends ) nnd finally starve1) out or sinks Into Insignificance. IIo is too honorable for n dema gogue and not strong enough mentally for u successful blatherskite. IIo Is usually pitied moro than ho la con demned and ridiculed more than ho Is despised. There is another species of profes sional agitator , however , whom the public recognizes at sight. IIo is a gabbler who can string together well- sounding sentences. Ho has a cunning keen enough for a certain cliv-ss of leadership , lie jumps up at the slightest provocation and harangues crowds of excited people upon almost any topic in which they are in terested. IIo and truth have never boon Introduced to each other. IIo nnd false hood are the closest of friends. They stand by each other on all occasions and look so much alike that ono wonders how they over unite to deceive anybody. This fellow will achieve temporary im portance in almost any eYowd and sell out his leadership at the first oppor tunity. A third style of professional agitator is the really shrewd and talented man who goes into movements which stir up the people for what there is in them for him olf. IIo is well informed , keen of tongue , cool under all circumstances himself , but possessed of a catching elo quence which can drive his hearers into a frenzy of linger or make thorn roar with laughter. IIo is a dangerous man , if low in his instincts , but often his personal pride loads him to honorable conduct where his tendencies are contrariwise. IIo has no real sentiment , no convictions no honesty of purpose , no definite aim in his leadership beyond magnifying his own importance. lie seeks and often maintains contiol of crowds for the solo purpose of securing olllco for himself or marketing his power over his followers to the best advantage. The common typo of professional agitator tater eventually wears himself out. Common sense is too much for this < ronus homo. "VYhon it turns its side lights upon him so that his admirers see behind - hind his presentable exterior ho wilts and moves into another community. When he has run his course ho is the most despicable character in the vicin ity. IIo is hated wherever ho appears and hooted out of countenance when ho attempts to bo hoard before Ills old asso ciates. Ho deserves his fate for ho is wholly selfish , always lazy , usually loaf- erish and never honest at heart. IIo is a hypocrite , a liar , a demagogue , a blatherskite and a thoroughly con scienceless schemer whom honest men ought to avoid long before they discover his real character. TllK n'KST ALL HIGHT. The Kansas City Times in face of its political future devotes column after column to showing the wealth of Kan sas and the value of the forthcoming crops of that state. Just how the demo cratic 2'imes Is to right itsnlf with Cleveland - land , PolTor , Boies , Simpson , ot al , in the next campaign is a matter of no concern to republicans. Its tables of statistics , however , are of the utmost interest in illustrating the truth upon which the future of the prairie west is founded. The Times' figures "on a con- borvntivo estimate" foot up to a grand total of $270,225.000 as representing the value of the products of Kansas soil this year. The crops are placed at $140,875- 000 and the stock , dairy products , poultry and fruit increase the grand total to the figures given above. Of course all this handsome sum is not to bo realized in cash thio year for n largo part of it will be consumed whore produced by the producers and part of the stock will bo hold for subsequent sale , but the receipts in cash are placed at upwards of $ lii,000,000. : Iowa , Nebraska and South Dakota are as fortunate as Kansas. Iowa will yield moro money than Kansas , Nebraska less and South Dakota less than Nebraska , but thoil- grand total of mar keted products of farm and range will aggregate more than $350.000,000. Those figures are not guesswork merely. They are the result of careful compilations from reliable sources. They are optimistic of course , but are bused upon conditions favorable enough to en courage the Lombard investment com pany to Issue a circular to its stockhold ers and clients reassuring them that their investments in the west are safe in spite of the calamity howls of dema gogues. The Lombard company corrob orates Tun UKK s statement , of August 12 for Nebraska and the Kansas Citj IC'ijncs' statement of u subsequent date for Kansas. This proves two things : The newspapers wore sulllclontly con- horvntivo and the great Investment company believes the west Is all right. The west is all right. TllK DKMdt'ltACr AM ) SU.VKlt. The division of sentiment in the dem ocratic party on silver may cause the party some trouble. The last national convention ignored silver , but it is not at all probable that the convention of next year will do so. The democrats of the south nnd west tire In favor of the frco and unlimited coinage of silver and they will Insist that there shall bo an ex pression on the subject by the national convention. The democrats of the east are opposed to frco coinage nnd will mtiko a fight ttgalnst any effort to commit the party to that policy. The Indications uro , however , that they will bo routed , though it is possible some sort of n compromlso maybe bo reached. A great deal will depend upon Now York. If it shall appear that that state cannot bo carried if the party declares for free coinage the convention may pass thoiytuusllon. The Empire state , which Is Vmlirtpotmlblo to demo cratic success noxl year , will have u great deal to .say In determining this matter as well ns the choice of candi dates. ' ' The sectional division of the democ racy rcgardtng syvor is already pretty well defined. The democratic governor of Massachusetts said some time ago in u public address tjbat the democracy of that state will never accept the doctrine of free silver cofmigo , and ho undoubt edly reflected thu prevailing sentiment in the party. The democratic conven tion of Maryland struck a blow at free coinage when it declared that "tho power of congress to coin gold and silver ought not to bo so exorcised that gold coin or silver coin will become a commodity and so disturb the operations of trade , but In such man ner tlitit tlio dollar In gold coin nnd the dollar In silver coin shall bo of equal exchangeable value In all the markets of the United States. " All the Now England and middle st.itcswlll undoubt edly boin line against frco coinage , and Delaware will probably follow thu course of Maryland. The champions of honest money in the democratic party ns now appears , wilt bo in the section of which the south line is the Potomac and the west line the Alloghenios. The states embraced in this division will constitute a small minority in the national convention , and while they may exert an influence out of proportion to their numerical strength , they will hardly bo able to prevent the over whelming majority from having their way. It Is pretty safe to predict , therefore , that the democracy will make the free and unlimited coinage - ago of silver a demand of the next national platform , it the party does this it must , to bo consistent , nominate candidates who are in sympathy with this demand , and thN requirement would shut out Mr. Cleveland , Governor IIlll , Governor Pattison , Senator Gorman , and oven Governor Campbell , for the latter has expressed disapproval of the free coinage declaration of tlio Ohio democratic platform. The party would bo compelled to take a southern or western man. and of course in such c.uo the latter section would bo sure to furnish the candidate. It is thus obvious that the divided sentiment of the party regard ing silver is likely to prove troublesome , but the chances are that the question will bo disposed of by committing the party to free coinage without limit. TiiEOSOrUY , according to Annie Bo- sant , its prophetess and priestess , is the exoteric truth revealed to Imtiatis , called eomotimcs'ndopts ' nnd mahatmas who are trained in certain methods of evolution called occultism. It teaches among other indescribable things that spirit and matter nro the two poles of the manifesting energy of a life embodied universe. It involves the doctrines of reincarnation and Karma , the enuncia tion ot causation and affords the cati- gorical imperative for which every othK cal system craves. The highest rungs of its spirit embodied ladder are veiled in light too d\zzling : \ to bo pierced by mortal eye until myriads of years have been spent in complete accomplishment. Annie is a little too deep for us , but probably she has returned "to earthly life over and over again , inhabiting .body after body , " until she has caught on to the full import of herself and the whole bus ! ness under consideration. Her followers have a discouraging outlook if they are moro beginners , and as ordi nary mortals are very busy in this exist ence most of thorn will wait for the next body before embracing the "Wisdom Religion. " THE chairman of the board of public works has fought Asphalt Contractor Squires both in and out of season for months. Ho has harassed that crontlo- man in every way possible , and TUB BEI : has been in sympathy with him to a very considerable degree in his efforts to protect the interests of Omaha against a conscienceless monopoly. It is therefore a surprise to find after all those pyrotechnics that Mr. Birkhausor's now specifica tions for paving material , which It was supposed wore drawn up with an eye sinirlo to the destruction of the asphalt monopoly , contain the following terms : "Upon this base will bo laid tlio wearing surface or pavement proper , the cement ing material of which is a paving cement prepared from the best quality of Trini dad asphnltmn obtained from the no-culled pilch or ( tfithdlt lake in the Island oj Trinidud , unmixed with any of the prod ucts of coal tar " The "lake in the Island of Trinidad" is owned absolutely and exclusively by the Barber asphalt paving company of which Mr. Charles E , .

Red Ouh ( la ) Imlepenilent. There are ton times moro failures among business men than amontr fanners. A larger per cent of bunkers fail In business than farmers. And yet some of the calamity politicians go about the country claiming that no ono Is unfortunate that everybody has smooth and prosperous sailing oxcont the farmer. America's Itui-Hting Granaries. Before this year's harvest is ended In the United Statoi it will be necessary to issue a search warrant if It is desired to find a croaner. The reports of granaries filled to overflow ing do not como from any particular section of the union. It is a rod letter year for farmers in every agricultural state of Im portance. The season has been exceptionally favorable and there will bo an Immense sur plus of breadstuffs for export after the homo demand has been satisfied. The exact antithesis of these conditions is in Europe , xvhere the crops approach a total failure. Last winter's ' severity played havoc with the European farmer. It destroyed his winter crops anil reduced his reserves of capital. The shortage of grain crops re ported from the principal agricultural countries of Europe has had no parallel in modern years. America's immense sur plus will only partially supply the deficiency and the food problem will bo an Important ono on the European continent for another twelve months. These remarkable contrasts -bring out with resistless force the natural conditions of su periority on American soil for agricultural thrift and progress. Moro than over before will this season's volume of grain exports provo that the food supply of the world is to bo chiefly garnered on this continent In the future. So far as particular bonellts go the Ameri can farmer should reap o rich reward from his bursting granaries this year , and ho can probably do so without any futllo attempt to "corner" the grain market in Imitation of the bulls and bears.

A route such as wo have suggested would naturally point to Great Fulls ns an objective point for the railroad , but after cnmlnir the Yellow stone nt this point it could as well delloct south and west and pass through the Custlo mining district , newly opened and very rich , and thus ro.ich Helena.Vo uro assured that there is no obsluclo to the hulldlni. of a rail road over the route suggootod , it being an open rolling country. Aside from the beef shipment to which wo have referred wo desire to direct your atten tion to trade that would bo opened that thus far Is entirely now to this counttowit " : Iho shipment of fi'odora from the" Montana ranges to the corn districts of Nebraska and Iowa , whereby our stockmen could ship feed ers in the fall on a through rate permitting them to feed Id transit and got them on an early spring market as corn fed beef , increas ing the homo demand for your corn and pro viding a now murkot for our cattle ; while Incuse cuso of dry n season here that would make It doubtful us to the wintering of weak cuttle and cows on the range , this class ot cattle could bo shipped to the corn districts for feeding. A secondary consideration perhaps , but ono worthy of mention , is the mutton ship ment of this country , which In the portion of eastern Montana tributary to the Northern 1'acitic railroad , aggregate annually 100,000 while if Fergus county is tapped this num ber would be greatly increased as that coun ty is thu larcost sheep county in the state. The wool shipment which may not Interest your local business interests , but would ' 10 nn object to the ruilroap , may bo set down , Fergus countv Included , at not far from 8,000,000 Bounds. In considering the business which a rail road connection will attract to vour locality , the horse interests of pastern Montana must not bo forrfotton. Our market must bo sought for in the south and east nnd a railroad which makrs n farming community tributary to this horse raising area will greatly increase the shipment of horses. Wo may remark here that in custer county nlono'wo have moro than ode hundred thousand horses. Though there are no mining interests in this Immediate vicinity , It is nevertheless true and doubtless anparent to vou that the completion of a railroad connecting Omnha with the mines of Montana must greatly aug ment the business of your reduction works. As to the trade that would como to your merchants and manufacturers through the opening of this now avenue of commerce wo can broadly say that Montana buys every thing she uses except hoof and vegetables. Wo manufacture nothing and your merchants and manufacturers will Hnd thU upproxitu- ulo Held of trade. This city though having but a small popu lation N the trade center for nil the range country for n radius of 100 inllas and consequently quently his ; a much larger mercantile tr-ido than its population would indicate. It is also the ueKiiowledtied cattle cantor of eastern Montana oallly controlling the trade of this vast industrj' . Respoctfullv , ( Sinned. ) C. H. LOUD , G. U. Miuitmx , E. BUTI.HU. S.
