According to a good roads address re-
Gently delivered before the Bankers AS
ISOLATION of Iowa, and quoted in "a leailet
of the department OF agriculture, "it is
an inside figure TO put the amount this
country annually contributes to the mud
fiend at s250,0o0, O0o total loss. Mud
does not give back anything to anybody
There is nothing reciprocal about 1t. 1t
is a loss complete, absolute and irrecover-
able even in part Mud knows neither
friend nor foe. In the natural organiza-
tion of matter mud may have place,
but that place is not in the road And
he urges with reason that that amount Of
money put into good roads every year
would, in decade, make excellent high
ways for the whole country. AS banker,
he advises going in debt by long term
bonds for road building, and the state
ment of the loss from neglect is surely an
argument TO justify such Indebtedness
Which reminds us that the town of Bur
rillville is the latest Rhode Island COM
munity to make ard to Offer this sort of
an investment by an issue Of SO, 600 per
cents for improvement of the highways.

The sun, which started the interesting
revival OF pronounced public sentiment In
favor of American woolcns following that
by another to demonstrate the virtues of
the American silk, now sets up the claim
that with the exception of gloves, laces
and embroideries the American woman
may gown and adorn herself completely
from American made stuffs of a quality
as refined as can be secured anywhere i'm
the world. And as was the case with the
claims in behalf of American woolens and
silks tho argument on this is plainly
bound to be all one way, in favor of the
Affirmative.
IL is undoubtedly true that woman can
get her outfit from head to foot, high class
and elegant in every particular of domes-
tic manufacture and without straining
her patriotism as her great grandmother
had to do I'm her day. The abundantly
demonstrated claim in favor of Ameri-
can woolens and American silks Of course
comprehends large part of the material
that enter into woman's apparel. But i'm
the miscellaneous outfitting also Ameri-
can skill and taste ina style rec qually con-
spicuous and the results win stand com
parison favorably with the foreign pro-
ducts. There isn't any question about it.
Paris, for instance may furnish the model,
the style, but its reproduction on this
side of the water is prompt and equal to
the original, and equally choice in
material. 1t is claimed and on good
grounds that the domestic millinery is
nowhere excelled and that from the man
ufacturc of artificial flowers to the hand
ling OF a bow the domestic product is of the
very best, indeed, unexcclled And rs for
novelties, such as neckwear, ruchings,
spanglcs, cords and the nunbcrless elegant
trifles that are from time in fashion for
distribution about a costume, American
skill and ingenuity brook no rivals. The
materials for many OF these oddities are
mostly imported but the designing and
labor of making are purely American and
command n great deal of capital and
employ thousands of American workmen
In fancy cotton goods, the lightsomo
things that make the pretty summer
gowns, American manufacture has made
mighty strides within "A few years and the
dry goods stores every season bear abun-
dant evidence Of the great beauty and
surprising variety of these fabrics. So i'm
dress trimmings and Innings the
American market finds an acceptable sup
ply of American goods 1t is stated that
95 per cent. Of the corsets worn by Ameri-
can women, are made in this country
Hosiery and knit underwear of domestic
manufacture are positively superior and
herein the superiority of the American
dyes, already referred to in these columns,
is conspicuous. Parasols and shoes OF
home manufacture are all that is desirable.
And we have made beginning too
with gloves, laces and embroideries
though the foreign makes still largely
control our market.

Government Will Import Grass Indigen-
GUS to the Russian steppes.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25. The agricul-
tural department is preparing to make
an experiment. with new forage plant
which is thought to be adapted to the
semi -arid regions of the West. 1t is
the Bromus Inermis, grass which is
indigenous to the Russian steppes. An
order for two tons of the seed Of the
plant has been wired to Moscow in re-
Spouse to telegram from Professor
Henson, the departments agent, that
he could secure this quantity by taking
it Immediately. The grass is said to
thrive in lands which are too dry for
the ordinary forage plants. Its tall.
nutritious plant, and it is hoped will
prove to be adapted to the plains region
along the bases Of the Rocky noun
tains.
Professor Henson, through whom
this order has been placed, is resident
of South Dakota He IS making spe-
cial investigation of tie grasses and
other forage vegetat!o. u Siberia for
the department, with ,as view OF Sc
curing plants adapted tc the soil and
climate of the plains region, and this
order is the first fruit of his labor. He
will make very complete investigation
which may result in the introduction OF
many new plants which it is hoped can
be grown on the elevated plateaus.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2o.-An under

which has been under construction by
the United States government for the
past Is years, has just been finished at
Sault Ste. Marie. This is the 20 and 81
foot channel through the connecting
waters of the Great Lakes from Buffalo
to Chicago and Duluth, and was author
lied by act of congress in 1892, though
part of the work had been in progress
since 1882. The act authorizing the
channel from Buffalo to the commercial
centers of the upper lakes limited the
appropriation therefor to IS, $40, 900, but
in the entire work, part of which was
at that time under way, done under
separate contracts, there has been sIeEt
since 1887 the enormous sum of SILL
