The weekly Minnesotian. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1852-1858, 1854-03-18

! Both OF our neighbors have out prospectuses
this week to start daily papers on the first Of
May ensuing. AS we understand it, the :" ne
cessity" Of these cases was brought about in
this wise:
Last December. before the meeting of the Lc-
gislature, when the editor of the Democrat was
candidate for all the public printing, he got
up "buncombe" article after the fashion that
on q similar occasion succeeded admirably in
editor of the Democrat-was bound to start o
daily paper in the spring, and no mistake. But
his purpose at the time was well understood.
No one ungreen believed he was going to do
anything of the kind. He didn't believe it
himself But recently the Pioneer, which-as
our home readers are aware-rcpresentSa an en-
tirely different interest in the Democratic par
ty, suddenly became fearful the Democrat would
carry out its threat of starting daily, or
perhaps feeling came over it that it was sulfi-
GENTLY strong lin pocket to oyerslaugh, and
gobble up at one swallow, the rival sheet and
oil its influence and backing. So it has gone
TO work in real earnest, making ready to issue
the "Daily Pioneer on the LIST of May. The
old editorial force of the establishment either
from distrust of competency in the minds Of
the real owners and managers of the concern,
or from the fact that the head of said force, Jos
R. Brown, had carved out for himself no cnvi-
able reputation by his many recent twistings
and turnings in the political truckle bed, and
that his works would follow him to the great
Injury Of the Pioneer, was deemed unequal to
the task. Consequently, as we are informed
Dir. Fl. IL. Sibley drew On Ben. Eastman. 0!
Wisconsin, for an editor: Ben. honored the
draft; and on came few days SINCE marked to
order, avery clever-looking and dapperly dress
ed and gloved little gentleman, named "Earlc
8. Goodrich" and endorsed on the back de
mocracy." The Pioneer announces him As the
future editor Of that sheet He will take hold
OF the quill as soon as he returns from the East

try to teach all of US printer folks good mar

can. We have no reason to deny, howeve
that he is the greatest editor and manager Of

The editor Of the Democrat, seeing this =,
tempt to crush him by the use of heavy capita
gas, and selfblowing of trumpets, has felt it hi
duty, Is matter of selfprotection, to carr
out in earnest the enterprise which he professe
to be about entering upon some months sine,
he has therefore issued his prospectus, an
