Great Falls tribune., 1888-03-14

Edward Atkinson of Boston has con-
tributed a long letter to Bradstreet's in
which he declared that his calculations
warrant him in Stating that whereas he
estimated at the meeting of the British
Association for the Advancement of
Science, that 34s. per quarter at London
for wheat now yield as good results to
the American farmer 500 miles from
the seaboarI as did Sos. prior to 1873
he now reduces the former figure to 2ss.
per quarter, thus emphasizing greatly his
original statement" This statement con
Germs Great Falls, for it indicates that
even should wheat go down to "a cents
per bushel in London our farmers can
hold their own. Despite its remoteness
from the seaboard, the new wheat belt
may send wheat abroad successfully.

THE ALIEN LAND LAW.

Congress moves slowly. We are go
| AHEAD people in trade and industry but
in legislation our methods need improve
ment. In state legislatures as well as in
congress the early part Of the session is
practically lost. Bills are referred by the
score to committees who do not report on
them until late in the session when the
accumulation of business is such that
many measures are laid aside without
proper consideration. Other bills are
passed which should have been rejected
because "log-rolling" gains favor and
members are ready to make dscreditable
compromises to advance their own pet
measures.
The bill to amend the alien land law is
a case in point That needful measure
was introduced into the senate last Do
cember by Mr.. Mitchell. In January
Delegate Toole sent an able letter to Sen
ator Mitchell in which he pointed out the
benefits that would result from passing
the bill He summarized his arguments
as follows: #o
First: That the employment of for
eign capital in mines has not led and is
not likely to lead to any permanent hold
ing of real estate.
Second That the mining area so oc-
cupied by foreign capital is extremely
small and can never be larger.
Third: That foreign capital has fire.
quently acted as a pioneer in new districts
and has led United States capital to fol-
low
Fourth: That foreign capital has as
sisted the poor mine owners at times
when but for such assistance the mines
would be stopped.
Fifth That it's investment has given
employment to many worlSmen and whole
communities at the mines, and has bene-
fitted eastern and western American capi- |
talists by giving orders for machinery and |
supplies.
Sixth: That notwithstanding the risky |
character of the business the remunera-
ton of foreign capital has not averaged |
more than ordinary legal interest upon
well secured loans current in the United
States.
Mr. Toole's letter was read in the SEN
ate on the 9th when the bill came up for
debate. There seemed to be no grave OBJ
lection to the bill on the part Of any one.
but itstil fingers in congress and may be
there when the best business part of the
year has passed.

WHAT THEY WEAR.

Tucked panels of china crepe on wedding gowns of moire are newand very stylish.
 For spring and summer travelling wraps the redingote is the garment of the near flu lure no less than the immediate present.
 High authorities echo each other that prin- cesse gowns are coming in, though as yet only those of the best dressmakers find favor.
 Artistic costuming gains ground in London when instead of fashion plates the best modistes now consult the museums and pictr ure galleries.
 Jet bonnets, with the beads forming an opcn cross bar pattern, are filled in with tulle, of black, poppy red, suede or apple green, according to fancy. Sashes of the gown stuff. simply hernmed. and eight inches wide, are set iii the under arm seams of many children's dresses, and tied ill double bow at the back.
 A new idea for bodices oe soft stuff is to have the full front caught i'll at the waist by bands of inch wide ribbon So crossed as to form a double diamond and give a slender effect.
 Tucks appear in all fabrics, from tulle to cloth, and while in the light stu1Is they are run with floss silk in the heavier ones they have layer of wadding added to give rich effect.
 Figure dances, such as the minuet, the pavanne, the mazurka and the rCdowa are the features of arislan ''smau and earlies' the waltz and galop being quite out of favor.
 Ruches of roses and rose petals trim the foot of tulle bali gowns, which have detached sprays caught here and there upon ther ,,,1 ic o1,> eof with tine flower.

 Straight draperies of gray cloth, over plaited panels of white cloth, with cray sash forming panniers, and gray vast shirred at shoulder and waist, make up one of the most stylish new spring costumes.
 The Bernhardt, in ''La Tosca," has proven that slight women can wear empire styles, but unless they are very sure of themselves t-.e wiilowy sisterhood had better cling to the lounces and furbelows of the Little Tri- anon.
 The tea gown grows upon the English pub lie. For country house wear it is ali hut universal, and in London it is quite the thing for home dinners, though care is taken that its construction shall in nowise suggest wrapper.
 Wool is the correct thing for spring wear, but wool so dressed and pressed and dyed and Letouscled that in the matter of cost the sheep who grow it might reasonably give himself airs of superiority to his arlstocratic congerie the siikworm
