{From the Madison (Wis.) State Journal.l
Some days ago We referred, in an editorial,

are charged, By inEinuation at least, with in
fidelity to our State aud its interests. By
strong inference, if not in direct terms, We
are told that whcu re want to pay compli-
ment to any place, our good words should be
reserved for Milwaukee: The editor seems to
and that we have taken sides against our own
State. -.-.
All this Is absurd. There is no more rivalry
between the two cities than there, is between
Madison and Chicago. II is true that it
would be an advantage to Milwaukee II she
mount control Of tie railroads north and
northwest Of that city. But that battle has
been fought and decided. 1t is now useless
for Milwaukee to try TO rival the Garden City.
The destiny Of both cities is fixed. Chicago
is certain to be the great commercial and
kec may continue to prosper, but che must
look to different source for her prosperity.
She may grow rich and great Us 1nanufac-
turing city, while possessing considerable
commercial and business advantages super.

ridiculous ii attempting to Keep up pgete1.
tions Of rivalry with her more adTantageoualy
sitrated sister city.
We shall rejoice in sceln. Milwaukee thrive
in wealth aud population. We shall always
commend her bricks and her "lager beer" as
excellent in quality. Her site is superior in
natural beauty to that Of Chicago. But, ney-
csthcless, We shall not be guilty Of the folly
ofindorsing her pretensions in all respects,
nor be blinded by q sentiment Of State pride,
