The New Farmer. Nineteen years ago the cornfields ot Nebraska wore swept one day by a simoon, and the growing corn was wltbored as by a furnaco blast. The result was untold distress and. suf fering, with great financial loss. Tho summer Just closing has been one of unprecedented drouth, accompanied by torrid weather beyond any former exporlenco, and again tho cornfields of Nebraska havo suffered. But'thn loss of tbo corn crop no longer means general suffering In tho state. Ne braska lias boon lifted out of the list of "one-crop" states, and while tho blazing days of July and August burned up u million dollars In pros pective corn each twenty-four hours, crops that had already been har vested wcro of such valuo "that tho deadly drouth lost its terror. Nebraska's present prosperity Is duo to the "now" farmer. Ho has learned, and is learning, how to get tho beat out ot his soil at tho loast exponso to Its fertility, and Is apply ing his knowledge with wonderful results. Chemistry and bacteriology havo como to the aid of tho farmer, through tho assistance of tho agri cultural college and ho is giving careful heed to tbo teachings ot the experts. Tho gathering of 500 farmors at a district demonstration of new methods down In Qago county on Thursday is tho most convincing proof ot tho lntcnso and intelligent Interest Nebraska farmers are taking In the science of agriculture. It Is a splendid guarantee for thb futuro prosperity of tho state. Nebraska has long been in tho front ranks of food-producing states, but tho now farmer ot Nebraska Is going to sot tbo mark far abovo that ot any of Its rivals. With tho gener ous natural gifts of climate and soil, supplemented by intelligent direc tion, based on results of scientific Investigation, Nebraska's farms aro destined to bo the most productlvo 1r the world. The Magg-lne 'British Press. It Is hard for tho British press to find anything good In tho Unltod States, which it seems to regard an a Nozaroth out of which good cannot come, This prejudice crops out In newspaper discussion ot our Mexican policies, notwithstanding their ac ceptance by the British and other foreign governments. Tho Fall Mall Gazette, for Instance, says: We fuHy understand that President WUm's Message is bora of the travail of hts soul Ha U a good and dovout mm, earnestly desirous of furthering tho Heals of pmc and Justice, but on him re the rawMlMUty for protecting not Jy fas lRtrt of th United States In Meat, hut Uw lives of Mm thousands. '' Asnwtefcn citizens whs have'' settled CMtlaaiac, la this vla of biting tiareaaiB, the Gazette ridicules the preetdeat's policies, referring to the ''GoUlea dreamers of The Hague and the Capitol1 adding, "We shall see what Mexico has to teach them." The Evening Standard gopa the fall Mall (latotto ono better In derid ing American diplomacy by saying in tho courso ot a grossly stupid and un fair arraignment: Deploring that in Amort ca diplomacy Is now left to a group ot politicians who in foreign affairs are tho most amateur ish of amateurs. And yot this amateurishness has the avowed support ot Oroat Britain, France, Japan and all of Pan-America except Mexico, and It may even gala Mexico's endorsement. . 1 It would be' Interesting , to know, which represents the British public dftaioa - la this instance, the London hewspaperf , . character 1st lea My Mcepei la antl-Amarlcan prejudice, or the official of the British gov eraaaefit. Is it ?6c Let's Fault? The white man boasts, not wholly without warrant, tit civilizing the Indian, who, ws say, is now hand somely assimilating our styles and .customs. Cortatnly much may bo said for tho aboriginal progress and enllghtonment, but when It comes to assimilation wo should pause to con sider whether the process has been all one way. Have not we imbibed ot the Indian's tastes, and fancies! Let us see. The Indian loves things gaudy. His friendship was bought by tho early settlers with glittering beads and jewels and cloth ot many colors and huos. Not con tent with his natlvo red skin, ho daubs and paints it various shades. He regales himself in fino feathers, spectacular blankets and long strands tot beads. Even tho softening shad ows ot civilization havo not as yet effaced all these wlld fancies. But how about tho palo-facod fel low cltlxenT Do some ot them paint their cheeks- and plume their heads With gaudy feathers and other wild creations and bedeck their bodies in weird, fantastic styles and colors! Point, feathers, beads and gems they are all there, Just as they were with the native redskins along the eastern slopes some centuries ago. Your little hand-palntod Pocahontas, with her furtive, fetching snillo, is Just as apt to stain John Smith's passionate Hps as over she was; for the roee-tlnted bluBh upon her cheeks is thn work ot patient, studied art, sot the glow of a girlish flush. It an, artlet, scolding us as usual tor our obtuseness. about real art, says the fancy for gaudiness is quite onaracterlstip with Americans, is it the fault ot Lo, the poor redment It is hardly worth while denying tho charge, and It eooms more likely than not that in working ,tho assim ilation business on tho Indian he has hung bis sign on us. Word Coinage. Attontion has been attracted by tho prospectus ot a new dictionary publication sotting out how many new words it contains that nro not to bo found in its provious edition's. It Is only an incident that ot these now words tho Introduction of some thirty Is credited to Colonel Roose velt and of about 200 to GIfford Plnchot, tho latter being for tbo most part meroly the registration of terms long In common uso among foresters and lumbermen. Tho real point Is that in living language like ours constant change Is in progress, with many expressions falling into disuse, and thus becoming obsolete, while at tho eamo time a contempor aneous word-coinage mint Is at work, whose fresh output goes tho way of tho survival of tho fittest, finding lodgmont in tho dictionary to tho extent that it supplies a need not otherwise mot. The same thing is seen in tho twisting of old phrases Into new meaning, whereby the present-day use' would not be com-! prohcnslblo to their closest familiars of earlier times. Tho transformation ot tho lan guago is going on all tho time; should this evolution cease, it would beforo long bocomo Uko more an cient tongues found only in library tomes or monument inscriptions. Why Not American Fashions.! It might bo well if every Amer ican woman read Edward Bok's striking articlo on "Remedy for tho Wave of Indecent Dressing," in which ho purports to show that the latest of our dress styles, which ad mittedly como from Paris, are hot patronized by "any Frenchwoman of tho slightest refinement." "Thoy aro creations," ho says, "of tbo dis ordered minds ot French dressmak ers, who have lost all sonso ot art and doconcy, havo become pure com morclallsts, and who, laughing in their sleeve at tho Amorlcan women, are, as ono of the greatest of them recently sold, seolng how far thoy can go 'in making d d fools of tho American women,' " It is bosldo tho mark to parlor over tho reliability of Mr. Bok's statements, so long as we have be fore oUr eyes so much tangible evi dence in these freak creations,' and know that thus far nothing that Paris if Paris is responsible tor it has dumped over here has, been too bad for M. But. European, women are sot pat-, tonizlag the Parisian degeneracy, Mr. Bok says; they are rebuking It by Inventing their own distinctive schools of style. Italian cultivates fashions tor Italian, Spanish for Spanish and so on. Why not Amer ican for American T Why Bholl our women, surrounded with culturo and refinement, lag behind others in dig nity and lndepondencoT Folks may laugh at tho wholo subjoct ot fash Ions as a mere folblo, but it is no laughing matter in view of the threatened sorlous consequences. Publio Money for Campaign Binds. Govornor Baldwin of Connecticut, who renews agitation at tho gover nors' conference for payment out of tho publio treasury of the expenses ot all candidates tor office, rests his argument on the point that such a plan would enable poor mon, virtu ally barred If compelled to pay their own way, to run for office. The fact that so many poor men land good elective offices would seem to havo escaped the governor's logic. The chief argument offered to sup port this proposal has1 been that tho offices belong to tho state or tho peoplo, and tho stato should have mon to fill them who owe nobody tor tholr campaign expenses, which is not the case, it is contonded, when to candidacy is promoted by prlvato interests, or even a political organ ization, sure to assort claims upon him It olectod. A' start along this line has been made in Colorado where each polit ical party Is allotted -out of tho pub lic treasury a proportionate sum, ac cording to the vote polled at the pre ceding election, yet In tho form adopted It is open to numerous ob jections and abuses. For example, the party In power has a tremendous handicap In its favor and Is practi cally in 'position to snuff out new parties and independent candidates by withholding all share ot tho com' palgn fund. It may be worth know ing, too, that tho schema has been carefully dissected by altogether dis interested students ot our politics, without convincing them ot ita su perior advantages. Negroes as Bankers. The formation ot plans by the Na tional Negro Bankers' association at Philadelphia for the establishment of a bank In Liberia, and more negro banks in tho United States, invites atteution to the fact, not generally known, that neirroes own and con. duet sixty-two bank's in this country. With B. tntnl MnHnlNnHnn nf )inii) 1,600,000, and annual business ot some $30,000,000. Most ot them are in tho south, as might bo ex pected, where most ot the negroes are. Ylrglnta has more than any other state twelve It Is note worthy that a woman is president ot one of theso banks in Richmond. Alabama comes next, with eight; thon Mississippi and North Carolina, with six each, and Texas with flvo. In the northern states Illinois leads, with throe, two in Chicago and ono at Springfield. Indiana, Massa chusetts and Pennsylvania havo ono each, and one is located in Washing ton, D. C. Thus tho colored man is proving himself equal to the delicate demands of the various lines of business in which ho is called on to engage, Theso banks aro widely Influential In promoting habits ot frugality and in duBtry among the race, which, num berlng about 10,000,000 today in tho United States, holds title to $700,- 000,000 worth of property. In 1863 3,000,000 black slaves In. the south were valued as worth S2,000:000,- 000 to their owners, about $500 a head. Today 10(000,000 black free men are worth In their own name and right 1700,000,000, and those in tho south, as commonly computed, an economic' valuo to that eectlbn ot about $10,000,000,000, or $2,500 per capita. The Hick, on the Caucus. Proclaiming aloud his nsw'declara tion of ' independence, our distin guished democratic United 8tates senator from Nebraska bravoly de clares "that tho individual democrat, like the Individual republican, ought to be permitted by- his party to stand hero and Votq for his convictions." ftreat' applause in the gallery and fulUfacod typo in his own personal newspaper.) But please, not' so fast. Tako with this bold dofl ot King Caucus the ac companying explanation: "I am.not quite so extronio as some who decry tho caucus. In splto ot all the ovils which havo grown out of caucus leg islation and caucus domination, I bo llovo there are occasions when tho caucus may bo necessary to harmon ize party action upon a party bill." In tho uncouth but oxprosslvo lan guage of Mayor Jim, "Cut out the bunk." What Is Senator Hitchcock's kick on King Caucus? Morely a personal collision with the program mapped out by tho party bossoa. What if a majority ot his demo cratic colleagues had accepted his proposed penalty tax on tobacco pro duction by incorporating it into "a party bill" with the backing ot the caucus decree, does anyone Imagine our Senator Hitchcock would be de nouncing King Caucus and cham pioning for its opponent the right of Individual ccmvJctloal Is it not, a sate gmeea that the Wewll "stand here' and summon recalcitrant dem ocrats, to abide by the Judgment of the majority as the embodiment of wisdom and the only salvation of the party? And it the bosses) eventually fix up a compromise and give him enough of the appointive patronage to satisfy him, tho wonderful fight of our democratic Bonator against King Caucus will turn out to be more repetition of the Don Quixote battle with tho windmills. "I determined this, that I would not como again to you in heaviness," the Apostle Paul wrote the Corinth ians. Ho had been in trouble and thought best not to visit thsm until he folt brighter, And his wisdom contains a very timely and practical modern suggestion for all. "Go bury thy sorrows, tho world hath Its share." runs the old sons, whllo the later vernacular puU It. "Tell your troubles to the police." But the point 01 it ail is that tho world wel comes nothing so much as a pleasant face, even on unpleasant hearts and minds, ahd has little time for the other fellow's tale of woe. It is more than funny. Thaw in Jail in a strange land, cut off from personal communication with tho outside world, hardly lands in the Skerbrooke coll till ho Is beslegod with generous-hearted lawyers, will ing to go the route for him. Whon it .comes to good Samarltanlsm and philanthropy, you havo to give it to the lawyer's tho fee, we mean. "My eon, it sinners entice thee, consent thou not." That is a man's advice to mon, simply pointing out the wrong without a threat ot pun ishment, appealing, therefore, to the boy's or 'man's best sense. But tho Jaw, of whatever charactor, suppllos its own penalties. The pugilist who dealt the blow In that fatal fight at Los Angeles la '''cleared," and the accessories es cape, which clears tho boards for tho next tight Governor O'Neal of Alabama pleads tor more frequent sessions ot tho legislature. It takes the best most Btatos can do to recover be tween times as It Is. That sweet, gontle theme ot uni versal disarmament ought to wax strong on inspiration from events now transpiring between the United States and Mexico.

Philadelphia Ledger: Thousands or ex perts havo been hammering at parts of the Bible with unusual assiduity and scholarship, disproving the flood, hutnr. lng poor old Jonah, muckraking David and showing alleged errors. But alt of them put together are read by only a few thousand, among, tho l,D00,00O,WO peo ple on earth, while the Bible remains more than ever the great Book ot he world. The American Bible society Is nearlng 100,000,000 copies issued since It began, In 1816. But even that would not tell tho whole story, for the British and Foreign Bible society since 1801 hai dis tributed more than 24o.00O.0uO volume Any individual or sect may crltlclsi and argue and dogmatlie over or about the Dible, but the Book Itself Is the bttfgMrt permanent fact in tho records of the hu man race. lAtiantlc Monthly: Tho country minis ter Is paid when tho money como In, that is.

If It is not then In nana tho minister must wait until It convt In. This, to tho minister, often becomss nit only an nnnoyance, but a hardship. If sucn a condition wero unavoidable one would not complain, but when tho com mittee knows that In the end all bills must be paid, and are paid, It gets on one's nerves to bo put at such a disad vantage. Baltimore American: Thero is a strong degree of sublimity surrounding the basis ot opposition to making tho office of sertlor bishop of the Eolaoonnl church elective, as voiced by Bishop Tuttlo of est. juis, the Incumbent of that exalted place. But the line of reasoning does not appear wholly convincing. Th loarned bishop contends, in effect, that unaer tne present system the office Is filled by "God's providence directly and without man's agency. He is thn antnr bishop In the order of consecration, hav ing jurisdiction within the United States. Tho death of the preceding senior invests mm wun tno oirice or presiding blshpp, and death Is God's messenger alone. The solemnity of hi appointment to office by the act of God is unspeakably great." Tho argument Is as old as tho known history of mankind. It Is the same that served to perpetuate through many ages thf autocratic form of civil irovernment. no matter how oppressive or corrupt, the subjects believing, in their blindness and superstition, that, the ruler was placed In authority by God, and that to Interfere meant damnation. We hear less of this In these enlightened days. People and Events Hay fever Is now diagnosed aa "a mil Hon little ants fanning rup and down in side your nostrils."
