LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Up : to Date Methods.

Mir. Editor.-In little pamphlet of views of Kansas City which has been sent to me I find the following: 'The old methods sprinkling with water"-a picture of the ordinary sprinkling cart, drizzling over the street. The next one is entitled "The modern method sprinkling with oil," and 1t depicts the cart which puts petroleum on the streets. Following this picture is one entitled 'Brooming after the wagon to prevent pools"-Armour boulevard, and 1t illustrates its title clearly. I under stand that the application of petroleum is required only once for a season, and anyone who visited Watch Hill last year must testify to the entire remedy of the dust evil which is achieved by it's use on their roads. If these things are so, would 1t not be worth while to get into line with modern methods and thereby save expense and relieve the dust -smo othered citizens on

ITALIANS TO SOUTH AMERICA.
Far Better Field for Settlement Thar
 the United States.

Rome June 23.-During the dis cussion of the foreign office estimates in the chamber of deputies yesterday, Signor Ferri advocated the encour- agement of emigration to South America. He recounted his personal observations on his recent visit to Argentina and Brazil and explained the condition of the Italian emi- grants in those countries
 They find there, he said, a Latin civilization, not Anglo Saxon, as in the United States. The Spanish and Portuguese languages were easy for them to learn, they rapidly became acclimated, and they eo-operated in the development of those countries on a footing of perfect equality with the native inhabitants.
 Signor Terri proposed that the number of Italian consuls in Argen- tira and Brazil be increased and that emi sration to those countries, which is mutually advantageous. be encour- aged in every possible way He in sisted. that South America was to be preferred to the United States and that Italy should strengthen her friendly relations in that direction.
 The whole house applauded the speech.
