An eastern farmer passing through
the inundated bottom lands of the west
at this time would undoubtedly be
moved to expressions of pity for the
tilers of the soil whose broad acres
have been so plentcously watered dur
ing the past two weeks. In the light of
his own experience as he looked out
over the flooded farms he would see only
gaunt specters of starvation stalking
ankle deep in raiuwater, and visions OF
countless hordes of deputy sheriffs dis
possessing the ruined agriculturists of
their homes.
This would be n perfectly natural
view for an eastern man unacquainted
with the characteristics of the western
country, for he would Judge of the
effects of such an apparent excess OF
watcr by what he had seen in a region
where the farmers will not stand drown
ing. But the farmers of Nebraska, Iowa
aud the rest of the water soaked west
know that their drenched acres have an
extraordinary capacity for absorbing
rainwater, and that they will come up
smiling after their bath. Today one
may see a flooded bottom farm on which
there is scarcely an island large enough
to afford pasture for dozen head OF
cattle; tomorrow if he pass that way
again he may see II cheerful and con-
tented farmer following the plow, and
the rich, tender mold that he turns will
hardly look too moist for planting.
Nature takes pretty good care of hor
garden-spots, upon the whole, and it is
happy provision of hers that brings
corn planting so close upon the heels of
navigation.

Royal Baking Powder
e: 81 has no Competitors.

In millions of homes throughout the United States
and AROUND the world the fact has been recognized
by appreciative housekccpers, that there other
leavening compound that can or does compete, on
the basis of purity and strength, with the Royal
Baking Powder.
Other compounds intended for baking purposes,
made without science, of poor materials, at low
cost depend for their restricted sale upon the pa
tronage of those who will use a greatly inferior
article if procurable at litte lower price or upon
the recommendation of dealers whose self-interest
urges the sale Of goods yielding them the largest
profits.
ROYAL BAKING POWDER ONLY sells and deserves
to sell upon its merits alone.

The Kansas City Journal, with dis
play OF envy as malignant us its state
ments are untrue, is striving to poison
the minds OF the people who read its
utterances in regard TO the reception
which the alliance convention will re,
ceive from this city. In IL recent issue
it says:
The alliance party people arc indignant.
They bestowed upon Omaha a signal honor
and some of Omaha's citizens do not appre-
ciate it. When 1T was decided to hold the
third party national convention at Nebraska 5
metropolis, 1t was expected that the resi-
dents OF that place would bs only too glad 10
contribute to tho entertainmenJ of the dele
gates. But IT seem' that they are not.
Those best ablo to subscribe, the bankers
and railroad officials, fatty rsfuse to give so
much as red cent. They even act as
though they didn't care whether the conveu-
came TO Omaha or not, or whether 1t was
neld anywhere. This conduct Is most extra
ordinary. The third party specially interests
itself in the subject OF banks and railroads,
and yet these people turn il the cold shoul-
der, seemingly without compunction,
The bank and railway officials oil
that town are so deeply saturated with
plutocracy that they won't even contribute
to the success Of movement which aims u,
their Own downfall.
All OF which is simply a downright
lie. The amount asked by the alliance
committee was 900 and that amount
has been almost entirely raised and the
remainder of II has been guaranteed by
the citizens committee. BY the time
the convention assemblies the tota
amount will have been raised and more

THE ordinance against throwing re-
fuse IN paved alleys should be vigor-
ously enforced. Omaha is very uu-
cleanly in this respect, duo to the
leniency or Indifference of the health
officials, and IL is time the law were
rigidly executed, without fear or favor.
There is ample authority in the ordin-
ance, and dereliction in matter of so
much Importance to the health of the
city is objectionable. The Board OF
Health has instructed the health officer
to enforce the law. and it is to te hoped
there will be no further cause OF COM
plant for failure to do SO.

And now comes that eminent lnancier
and statesman, Ed j. Hall, member OF
the late Nebraska legislature, and de-
livers himself of an opinion on the in
trinsic worthlessness of gold and silver.
IF silver and gold were both demone-
tized by tho united world at the same
time" says this champion fiatist, "aud
no longer used as money by any nation,
both commodities would depreciate in
the market until they would not be
worth 25 cents pound"
A little learning is dangerous thing,
but fools will venture where angels fear
to tread. Twenty-Five cents pound for
gold indeed Why cannot we buy da-
monds, rubles or pearls for % cents IL
into money or had their value fixed by
any government stamp Why does
platinum, the heaviest of known metals,
which never has been fashioned into
coin on stamped rs money, sell for
eight times its weight in silver? Why
cannot we buy aluminium, the lightest
of metals, for % cents pound? Will
the asinine reformer who talks SC
glibiy on finance be good enough to ex
plain why any of tho precious metals
have any greater value in the markets
of the world. than pig iron or lead:
Why have gold and silver been valued
above all other metals by the ancients
who knew nothing about coinage, and
had 70 laws regulating tho payment o

SENATOR MANDERsoN has promised
TO do all he can to secure an extension
of the time in which the Nebraska Cen
tral bridge may be completed, but he is
not hopeful of receiving any assistance
from the representatives of Nebraska in
the other branch OF congress. AS this
is purely practical matter, outside of
politics, 1t is reasonably hoped that the
senator will lind no difficulty in getting
the help OF the Nebraska delegation in
the house. The projected enterprise
will be of great benefit to the material
interests of Omaha and of the state, and
we know of no valid reason why the re-
quest for an extension OF time should
be opposed by any Nebraska represent

TIE president has shown good iud.

The president has shown good judg-
ment in selecting Justice Harlan of the
supreme court and Senator Morgan Of
Alabama to represent the United States
in the Bering sea. arbitration. Both
are eminent authorities on interna-
tional law, aud they will make the
strongest possible presentation of the
case on behalf OF this country The
chief counsel for tho United States will
be Hon. H. j. Phelps, ex-minister to
England. Thus two democrats are
given prominent positions in connection
with the arbitration, a proof of the dis
position of the president to deal fairly
with the party in political opposition
to him when II matter of national con-
ceru is to be considered. The court of
arbitration will consist of seven Nom
bers, of which the British government
is yet TO appoint two, the other three to
be named by the king of Sweden, the
king of Italy and the president OF
France. 1t will be notable body.

THERE are the best possible reasons
why Omaha should control TIE splendid
oil fields OF Wyoming, which will some
day be u source of immense wealth. All
the conditions are favorable TO this city
Us the objective point for pipe lines and
the most advantageous location for re-
fineries, as Mr.. w. w. Lowe shows in Il
communication to THE BEE. But in
order to make sure of the control Omaha
must move in the matter without un-
necessary delay, because SO rich an op-
portunitv for fortune makiug will not
long be neglected by capitalists else
where who are on the alert for p"omis-
ing investments. The practicubility of
making this city agreat oil center being
granted, it would seem that there ought
to be little difficulty in enlistiug all the
local capital necessary to develop the
Wyoming oil fields and connect them by
pipe lines with Omaha. The matter is
certainly worthy of the attention of our
practical capitalists who have the money
to embark in such an enterprise.
