PIows I'm Russia.

One of the most noticeable occurrences
of recent times Is the purchase OF ten
thousand American plows by the Russian
Government. for distribution among the
farmers of Russia. There is more in
this than would seem to be at first sight
1t is certainly great compliment as well
as a valuable acknowledging OF merit
to American agricultural implement
makers, but it implies that the competl,
ton OF American farmers IN the Euro
peau gram trade has touched what has
been considered an invulnerable spot
1 he wheat growers of Southern Russia
supply what is known as the Black
Sea trade, and beng much nearer to the
market than we are, their wheat has
had a great advantage over ours. But
American wheat has displaced the Rus.
sian wheat, TO a considerable extent, II
the English market and the Russian farm.
ers have now to exert themselves to hold
even portion of that trade. Hence 1t i:
determined to try the plows that we are
using with view to produce wheat
more cheaply than hitherto. But there
is something else needed. The man thai
holds the pillow is of more account thar
the p.ow, and there are no farmers IL
the worlA who are more intelligent OF
more skillul than American farmers
But we cannot afford to rest upon wha
we have gained. The important fac
here noticed shows that our competitor
are by no means idle, and intend to i'm
prove their methods of work as far a
possible. We must meet their improve
ments by others of our own.-America'

The Washington Sunday Gazette says:
Senator Davis, of West Virginia, is fully
aware of the great good the Department
of Agriculture is doing for the country,
and his efforts to obtain suitable sppro-
priatlons for that department vii! be
heartily appreciated by the people of his
own State rs well as those of the entire
nation. His amendment to the legis-
lstive appropriation bill, giving an I'D
ditionsl $500 for the erection
of a gallery in the museum
hall, where great number OF articles
received from the Centennial can be
stored and properly located, was very
judicious, and Is an indication of mis-
friendly feeling towards that department,
Senator Davis has but recently been re-
elected, and it argues well for the people
of his State that they appreciate good
and faithful servant, and one, too, with a
comprehension OF mind beneficial moi
only to his State but also to the Union.

Sleam I'm Street Cars.
rom the Baltimore Gazette.

The inventors of the steam motor for
street cars ought not to abandon their
invention because of its present imper-
fiction. As it new stands it is hardly
feasible TO use them upon the same
streets with the horses. 1t is very un-
reasonable in the horses to get terror
stricken and frantic at the sight OF the
smoke and the sound OF the pulling, but
still they do get terrified and thus en-
danger human lite. IT the horses only
knew what wear and tear of muscle 1t
would save them they would doubtless
stand perfectly still, or make bow, or
burst into horse laugh as it passed
but, poor things. like the City Council.
they don't appreciate the advance OF
science. We recommend that the in
ventors build short piece of track IN
the neighborhood of the city and have
it full Of steep grades and short curves,
and then 90 to work and perfect their
valuable invention. 1t is not the public
wish to ignore the motor, but only thai
1t be brought to perfection in remotol
place.
