VIII mol Increase Russia's Navy

Moscow, July 23.-It seems that Rus
sin has dropped the idea of spending
90,00O,000 rubles on her navy Evidently
the idea is sudden one, because the
representative of the Union Iron works
of San Francisco, who was summoned
to st. Petersburg to take orders for
ironclads, had actually arrived there
when the government changed its
mind. The motive for the change is un-
known but II is supposed to indicate
that the party favoring an Anglo-Rus-
sian instead of a Russo German en-
tente is gaining strength.

Indis's Supply of Men May Be Depleted.

We are again compelled to protest
against the nonchalant manner in which
many home newspapers persist In assum-
ing that the Punjab contains an mex
haustible supply Of fighting men, able and
willing to undertake the defense Of any
portion of the British empire. The Offend
er In the present instance is The Spectator,
which airily assumes that 1--WE can garri-
son Wei -Hai-Wei with 10000 picked Sikhs
and Afridis on special pay." This is not
the first occasion on which Tho Spectator
has helped-of course through lack of pre-
ciso information--to mislead the British
public into the belief that the Punjab Is
capable of producing army after army, not
only for Indian service, but for permanent
duty beyond the seas 1t is time that it
was clearly understood that there are lin
1tations to tho possibilities of recruiting
in tho Punjab, as we'll as in England, and
that those limitations preclude any pros
pect of raising an indefinite number Of
regiments for service in the far east and

This Is the Way to Talk.

The Bristol Military band signed con-
tract last Friday to furnish music for the
Addison county fair, which is to be held
Aug. 80 and 81 and Sept. at Mid
dlebury. The band will put up a
first class article Of music for the
fair and will have IS members on that
occasion. The fair this year will be con-
Quoted by new managers and is for the
entire county. The managers will do all
in their power to make it a success and
should have the hearty cooperation of
the residents of every town in the county.
There is no better way of bringing to the
attention of the public the product of our
farms-fruit, vegetables, grain, cattle,
horses, etc.-than by these annual fairs.
Mistakes have doubtless been made in the
managing of former fairs and the present
managers will avoid a repetition of the
same If possible. Many of the farmers
in the north part of the county have new
er been exhibitors at a county fair, vet
they raise as fine horses, cattle, sheep,
swine, poultry, vegetables, fruit, ETC., as
the farmers of the south end. Why not
haYe friendly competition this year
between the farmers from all sections of
the county? Let US unite, as have the
North and South in the present war, and
make the Addison county fair of 1898 a
success in every respect, one that will sur
pass any in the state. 1t can be done.
Let's do it, fellow citizens. Now then,
get move on you and pull together for
the success of the fair. The race pro-
gramme will be as follows; 45 class,
pacing, purse 500; ? y class, pacing
purse $50; three minute class, trotting,
purse 500; free-for-all, trOt or pace,

THE GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.

The St. Adams Messenger is putting
up a splendid fight for good roads in
Vermont. That papers contention is in
line with what has heretofore appeared
in the REGISTER, namely, that without
any additional taxation or material
change in our laws, Vermont can and
should have roads as fine as the finest,
The Messenger says:
1t is no less true than lamentable that the
taxpayers of the state have been and are
being heavily burdened with annual expendi-
lures for the maintenance and supposed i'm
provement of highways, a large part of which
is wasted-much of it worse than wasted.
1t is not necessary to fix or attempt to fix the
responsibility for these conditions. That
they exist Is beyond question. Wehave gone
on year after year in the same old way,
patching here little and there little, cart
ing on dirt one week to be washed away the
next week or to be carried off again the fol.
lowing week. The only apparent reason for
this is because It Is following in the footsteps
of our predecessors.
No one fairly conversant with the facts
will deny that if the state of Vermont had
adopted a systematic methods of road build
ing under competent supervision quarter
of century ago, the attractiveness of the
state as a summer resort would have been
enormously enhanced, and that, too, without
the expenditure of single additional dollar
This, however, is but a small item compared
to the saving to our farmers which would
have resulted from improved highways.
1t is the system and not the resources
that is at fault. Road material of the
best kind can be found in all parts OF
this state; the knowledge of how to use
it is lacking. This knowledge will be
supplied by road-expert sent to this
county by the authorities in Washington
He will be In Vergennes on Sept. 20 and
