A Drill which Bores Square Holes.

One Of the novelties of the Paris
Exposition is din which borcs
square holes, the invention of NJ.
Julius HILL, of L n1on. The work
is do"e, too, says a correspondent to
the Sc n'ific News, in a way so SIM
pie ard ~ easy that anv one may
prove the fact for himself. The in
vention has excited genuine aston
ishnert among the mechanics gath
cred at the exposition. There is a
constant crowd surround ng the in
vento-, watch ing I'M bore hole af-
ter hole squ re, and pulling over
the provokinglv simple solution of
the problem. All that is required is
an ordinary hand dill stock. A
staff cnary one with a chuck below
for holding the work is used by the
inventor: hut he says a common
brace will answer-anything, in fact,
will do that VIII hold the drill
The tool itse'f Is the usual form Of
three-square drill-eo that no spec
ial apparatus is required. Clamp or
lock this drill in its holder so that
ut will wobble." That is the whole
secret. Instead of making round
hole, a. it VII if tightly grasped
when loosely held it produces q
square enc: and, accord ng to tn,
kinventor, it is immaterial whether

Grain Crop Of Europe and America.

Europe produces now on an aver
age 5000, OOO,O 900 bushels of grain,
CT which Russia produces one-third,
Germany and France $4,000, 900
each, and Austria 100000, 900. The
United States produces 100000
bushels, or about the same as Russia.
In order to appreciate the advantage
OF the CnNed States, the population
should be taken into account; this
is for the United States, 10000, 900,
and thus We produce forty bushels
per head; while Europe, with a pop
ulation of quite 900, o00, 900, produces
only sixteen bushels per head; Rus
STA, twent-six bushels per head, and
Great Britain only four bushels per
head. As the average quantity of
grain consumed per head is fifteen
bushels, We produce nearly three
times as much as we want, Russia
scarcely twice its wants, Europe on
an average all needed, but Great
Britain not much over one-fourth.
It will be seen that the general pro-
duction far surpasses the consump-
ton, but this excess is absoi bed BY
brewer.es and distilleries all over
the world, which do more to keep
the price of breadstuffs at high fig
ure than anything else.

CHAS. F. THOMAS.

We find the following complimentary
notice of our fellow townsman in the
Faribault Republican from correspond
ent ut Kenyon. Last Monday evening.
however, Hon. Alfred Wallin, of Red
wood Falls, delivered a lecture in our
village. upon the political issues of the
day. that aroused the latent talent Of
some of our embryo politicians. Mr..
Wallin's lecture was decidedly the ablest
political speech that the people of Ken
yon have had the pleasure of listening to
for the last five or six years.
His speech was peculiar in being digni.
fed and logical. Mr.. Wallin, instead Of
following the beaten path of the average
political denagogue, reviewed the polit.
ical parties of the country from the stand
point Of an American statesman, show
ing himself to be thoroughly acquainted
with philosophy of our government. as
we'll as the fundamental principles of all
good governments"

AMERICAN BUSINESS PROSPECTS,
A witty English diplomotist Of the
last century, who occasionally re-
turned from his post to his own
country, said, "When, in my visit to
England, / shut my ears and keep
my eyes open, l think the country
very fourishing: but when shut my
eyes and keep my ears open, I find
that England is the most wretched
country on earth" This epigram-
matte saying may be applied to the
present condition Of our own coun-
try. What every intelligent observ-
er sees with his wherever he goes
contridicts the incessant croaking
which greets his ears. Any person
who doubts that the business Of the
country is really reviving should
make brief tour with his ears clos
ed and his eyes open. If he believes
what he sees, he must be convinced
that we are undoubtedly on the road
to comfort and prosperity.

THE FISHERY BUSINESS.
Complications Between the United States
and Great Britain.

Complications Between the United States
and Great Britain.
Washington Telegram tn Cincinnati ENQUIRER.
Sir Edward Thorton, minister
|plenipotentiary here, representing
Great Britain, positively defines to
express any opinion concerning the
new complication with has arisen
between this government and Eng
land with respect to the right Of
American fisherman in Canadian
waters. One Of the attaches of the
legation, however, who probably re-
presents Sir Edwards views, says
that one thing may be set down as
certain, and that is that the endorse
ment by the British foreign office OF
the local regulations enacted by the
Newfoundland authorizes would
never have been given if there was
any doubt, under the treaty Of
Washington, such regulations could
legally be made. 1t is ella med that
the very regulation most complained
of by the American fisherman is a.
most a copy of the law passed bv
the legislature of Massachs etts with
reference to a!ewife fishing IN Amer
lean waters, and which was passed
to protect the interests Of the Maine
and Massachusetts fishermen IN
those fish. The impression is decid
ed at tire British legation here that
the British foreign Office will not
give sa'isfactorv reply to Secretary
Evart's note, but uphold the position
already taken in the mater by Lord
Salisbury. In that event, Secretary
Evarts will have to be even more
crisp in his correspondence, and, for
that, more threatin;ng too, or igno-
miniously back down. The temper
of the administration just now is to
stand bv the richt Of American sub
jects, even tho"gh the outcome
sh ould he breeze with England,
which mi sht eliminate in war.

ELECTION.

| We have not yet received returns from
al the Towns but sufficient to show that
| Maj. Straits majority is about $50 in
Redwood County. The majority, for the
candidates for State offices is somewhat
larger. The difference is equal to about
two-thirds the German vote.
Mr.. Helling. candidate for the State
Senate has doubtless carried the County
although Mr.. Birum received majority
of ten in Redwood Falls.
Mr.. Powers. of course. received about
all the votes cast.
J. H. Bowers. Republican, was elected
Judge Of Probate and s. s. Sickle, Re.
publican. Court Commissioner.
In the Fourth District, F. v. Hotch-
kiss was elected County Commissioner
and in the Fifth District Archibald
Stewart was elected.
The vote on the bond question was,
almost unanimously, No.
The vote was an exceedingly light one,
very little over 600, when it should have
exec eded 800.
Our returns except the vote on con-
gressmen are indifinitc and Incomplete.
A large vote was not expected but is
much less than any one supposed it
would be. 1t is easily accounted for,
however. The weather was very fine and
the farmers were crowded with work.
Threshers were running in every part of
the County and in all sections work of
every kind is behind. Farmers, who
lived any distance from their voting
places. felt that they could not quit
work, and they did not.
