Memorial Bridge.

Senator Daniel. who is a member o.
the committee On appropriations. has
proposed an amendment to the sundry
civil bill, which provides for the ap-
preparation of 100000 for the ereo-
ton of memorial bridge to span the
Potomac at Washington. He said
he is not At all certain that he will
succeed in having the appropriation
made, but that be is going to press
his amendment. The Washington
correspondent OF the Richmond Ttmes
Dispatch says: While there are
many obstacles in the way of the
passage Of tho bill introduced by Sena-
tor Daniel, appropriating $4,000 for
the construction of q boulevard from
Warrington to Mount Vernon, dis
lance of fourteen miles, there are
chances OF its eventually becoming q
law. Tue amount which the bill calls
for is the amount loaned the national
government by tue State of Virginia
with which to erect public buildings
in Washington when the seat OF gov
eminent Was first located there. 1t
has always been impossible to induce
the government to settle the claim
through the justice of it is clear. II
is argued by some, however, that
Virginia gave the money to the
national government, and never ex-
pected it to be repaid. Certainly to
US of later and probably more com,
mercial generation such generosity
seems incredible.

The American farmer Is the greatest man
in the world to-day because he is master of
the soil-he is gaining in intelligence quite
as rapidly as his products are increasing In
magnitude. Our recent combines of capital
in United States measured in money are
enormous, yet such figures sink into insig-
nifcance when compared to the money,
brain and Drawn invested in agricultural
industries. For instance, the farmers OF
Minnesota and Dakota have received $780,.
600, 900 for their products in single year.
The farmer knows what Nature will bring
forth for him from his experience IN the
past. He knows II certain seeds are
planted and properly cared for that Nature
will take care of the rest. In the same
