Under the recent changes of salaries
Of postmasters by the .postoffice de part
ment, the salary of the Sleepy Eye post
master was increased from $1,000 to
$1,000 The business of the office is in
creasing every day.
The job that the friends of Brother
Hays had started for him did not mater
iaize. 1t was given to Jim Hamlln,
editor of the Blue Earth Post. Such is
the fate of those that work for party.

vention Of Minnesota bankers spoke be-

ENGLAND REAPs THE HARVEST.
"Merchants and fnanciers of New
York, who have business interests IN Gu
la and are we'll informed as to the stu
alton there, say the commercial supre-
macy of The United States In the island
is tAreate ced by English capital. Amer
ican Investors Who were attracted by the
brilliant prospects in Cuba at the con-
cIusien of the war with Spain have been
ontbid by the Englishmen, and sySdl-
cstes which were formed in this city to
exploit railways, mines, sugar estates
sapd FOWL improvements all oyer the is
land have returned from the field.
Englishmen are now said to practical
~ own all of the railways of the island,
as we'll as many of the large plantations,
factories and mercantile houses in the
different cities. Information on these
lines has been laid before President Nc
Kinley and he is said to realize that un-
less something is quickly done the COM
nercial supremacy of Cuba will slip
through our fingers and Americans will
obtain only the empty honor of holding
the political control of the island and
arms wrested from Spanish control.
From the first occupation of the island
by the United States troops Englishmen
seemed to have greater confidence than
Americans in the ability of oul govern.
. ment to prevent disorder, and they have
also shown more faith III the successful
solution of the problem of Cuba's future
than have our own people,"
The above is from the Pioneer Press.
1t shows plainly the ineficiency Of, or
the lack of craftsmanship in our nation
al administration. Should we ever be
able to hold the Philippines, providing
we ever conquer them, the same result
will perhaps show up. Our English
brother, the best friend America has,
will reap the harvest.

not only report results to their respect
