Minnesota gets no good appoint
mrnts from President Mckinley.
If there were not SO many Mime
sofa men after places, the delega-

agree, and then part of the

The home people should not blame
the senators and congressman for
not agreeing, when the home ex.
ample is so bad.

Although the exports CT mer'
chandise have for a large time
been in excess of the imports, it is
expected that,gold will soon 60
from this country to Europe. The
existence of war IN that continent,
and the possibility that it may
involve additional nations, makes
nearly all the governments anxious
to strengthen their gold reserv es.
Something must come to this
country for the gold that goes out,
and as our exports exceed imports
by $500, 900 a day., it seems that
interest bearing securities must be
sent back for the gold.

James J. Hill is not indifferent
to public sentiment, as is shown by
the efforts he and his friends make
to call attention to his efforts to
in crease the wheat exports to Asia.
He has a line Of steamers to China
and Japan, and when wheat was
very lowin price he established
ocean rates that would allow some
of the Pacific coast wheat TO 60 to
Asia, and several million bushels
sought this new market. By send
ing 1t to Asia it was taken from
competition in the European
market, and was all element OF
help to the American shippers.
The Great Northern magnate and
his SON. n.law, Sam Hill, have just
returned from Europe, and the
Younger man declares that the
diverting of so much wheat to
Asia has attracted great attention
in Europe, and that Hill is there
credited with having thus largely
Influenced the price Of wheat all
over the world. J. J. Hill has
himself frequently referred to his
efforts in this line, and much effort
has been made to impress the
people Of Minnesota and North
Dakota with the Importance of
the increased expectation of wheat
to a country that before took but
little. It is claimed that the ocean
freights are put so low that there
IS no profit in the transportation,
and that Hills object is to secure
a betterS price for wheat growers
in this part of the country.

THE honors and attentions shOwered
upon General Grant during his tour of
the world are perhaps unequaled in
the history of kingly hospitality. He
was received everywhere as the greatest
soldier of his time and as the foremost
living American. Hon. John Russell
Young, who accompanied General
Grant throughout the famous journey,
graphically recalls, in the May Ladies'
Home Journal, its conspicuous Incl
dents; the receptions, dinners, fetes,
balls, etc., given in honor of the illus
trious American. 1t is said that Mr..
Young brings to light fact that has
received but passing attention.; that
General Grant was instrumental in ar
ranging the terms ola treaty of peace
between China and Japan, which pre-
vented an outbreak of war between
those nations.

The Air Ship.

Several wild theories have been ad-

ship but all wide of the mark. 1t is
now proved beyond dispute that it is no
more nor less than an enormous "Blind
Pig" headed for Winneshiek county
and will dispense its hospitality in the
cities and towns and rise and float
away before Cameron and Newcomer
can get smell. If any doubt remained
as to the mission of the great ship they
would be dispelled by the fact that it
had anchored in Ossian and its captain
interviewed the Bee. HI. A. b.

WHEN wise old Benjamin Franklin
made his will he inserted clause Civ
ing 5000 to be used as fund to be
managed by the selectmen of Boston
and by them loaned to young married
artisans, to give them start in the
world. These loans were to bear per
cent. interest, and at the end of one
hundred years the sum, with interest,
was to be applied to some public work
of the city. The one hundred years
have passed and the city of Boston
now finds itself in possession of S400,

erosity. According to the provisions
ofthe will board of trustees has just
been appointed to take charge of the
fund and apply it some public work
