The people of Sleepy Eye Minnesota, are not yet prepared to believe that Grant Brannbel, the young telegrapher of that town, has sold his rotary en- zine invention to an English syndicate for several millions of dollars Speak ing of the inventor. correspondent ot the Chicago Tribune says: Some years ago Bramblc was an operator at sation by announcing his invention of an electric lamp, which he he'd dispos- ed Of for ST0,00O. He said he was go- ing to take q trip around the world
 and left skaneateles, but he only came to Sleepy Eye, and does not bear the evidence of having have the $70,000. Brambe1 may have patented this TO- tary engine, and may have sold 1t for several billion dollars, more or less, but it is the sentiment of the good peo- pie of Sleepy Eye that the outside world has been strung on the story

In the annual report State Comp froller Roberts, of New York, calls at tention to a vast increase in State ex- pendftures, and recommends the es- tabhshment of a graded inheritance tax-the largest estates to be made to pay the largest tax. The. expenditures of the State during the last fiscal year, ended September 30, 1896, aggregated $26,510,425.77, and the annual fixed charges against the State for the SUD- port of charitable institutions, hospi- tals for the insane, arsenals, aT11o- ries, normal schools, prisons, canals, and the new capitol are $15,271, ,21s. .o5. The strictest economy is therefore urg- ed. The report calls attention to the evasion of taxation on personal prop erty, and the graded inheritance tax is recommended as one way of getting at this property.

London is threatened with the loss of the Crystal Palace, which for nearly two, generations has been one of the most popular and widely known cen ters of amusement and of interest in the vicinity of the metropolis. The concern is hopelessly bankrupt. and al- though the government Is manifesting anxiety to prevent it's destruction, yet there seems to be no practical means of preserving this first memorial of the first of the great international exhibi- tions of the nineteenth century

Minnesota's S labor commissioner, after carefully investigating the condition of the farmers in Minnesota and ad- joining States has discovered that the farmers of Minnesota and the ten cen tral States of the Mississippi valley have been receiving net returns, on the average, for their products greater than at any time before 1873, when that terrible monetary crime was alleged to have taken place in the great de- struction of agricultural interests. The commissioner shows that farmers in debtedness, instead of increasing great ly, has been decreased to large de- gree, that a great proportion of farm mortgages have been paid and that in truth the condition of the farmer is far better than the free silver orators would have us believe

uunities upon the idea Of United
Canada, the feeling Of loyalty 10 the
neither country seems &c have strength
ened.
The policy OF Great Britain in deal
ing with Canada seems 10 have been
suggested BY the disaster which her
treatment OF the New England colonies
brought upon her. Instead Of ruling
the people with an iron hand and pro-
voking them into resistance BY al ar
bstrary exercise Of authority, Great
Britain has met every demand with
new concessions. The Idea OF a re-
sponsible government was not only ap-
proved by the imperial government, but
fOstered, and since that time the colony
has been petted and pampered- The
commissioner 70 London has almost as
many privileges as an Independent min
lister plenipotentiary; and the COM
missioner 20 Paris, although not shown
the Official honors due TO ambassadors.
is treated with the utmost considera-
ton. In every conference between for
eign countries in which Canada is in
terested, she is respectfully invited to
representation, and on more than one
occasion Great Britain has deferred to
the wishes Of the great colony even, as
in the case OF the seal convention, at
something like a sacrifice OF national
dignity.
The ultimate consequences of this
new felt power IRE of equal interest
to the United States and to Great Brit
ain. Flushed with success, Canada is
apt to become more insistent and domi-
neering. Her position relieves her
from responsibility which nations of
slower growth are apt TO realize, and
the interests OF Canada will not al
ways be those Of the mother country.
In her dealings with this country the
same spirit may sometimes break out,
but allowance must be made for the
petulance of a growing power: and the
good sense of the people may be trust
ed TO aid in solving difficulties which
may arise through hastily formed opin-
ions and unguarded freedom of speech.

Mr.. Plat is whistling in the graveyard
OF his buried hopes Just to keep up his
courage. He gives out statement that
Tracy is going to win the New York cleo
ton. on the ground that the Democratic
vote will be divided among Van Wyck.
George and Low. His statement as TO
Low is absurd. He viii get many more
Republican than Democratic votes. Tracy
will get no votes but Republican. Van
Wyck will have behind him the great bulk
OF the Tammany vote. George will get
the respectable socialists, fatists. single
takers. avowed free-silver Democrats. and
a part OF Tammany and the general float
ing riff-rsff. The split in the Republican
vote being evidently almost equal, it IS
not possible for candid observers to avoid
the conclusion that Van Wyck will win,
