YANKTON ". SIOUX CITY.

several editorial ARTICLES, Severely animal
ver.ing upon the people Of Sioux City,
charging them with hostility to the inter.
ests of Yankton and Dakota in general. In
speaking Of proposed grant Of land to
aid 10 the construction Of q railroad from
some poin. in Minnesota to Yankton, the
Dakotian says:
cit has been demonstrated for the last
three years that Iowa is bitterly hostile to
the interests Of Dakota, and that whatever
favor we have to expect as territory
must come from the states further north
The first railroad that reaches Dakota
will be, in all probability, from Minnesota,
and then Sioux City may bid long fare
we'll to the trade of the Upper Missouri.
Northwestern Iowa will Learn when it i.
too late that her interests were Identical
with those Of Dakota Territory"
In another part Of the same paper, in
speaking of a correspondent Of the Sioux
City Journal, writing in defense Of Hub
bard, the editor Of the Dak tan says:
"True to your instincts as selfish,
narrow minded, jealous man, and good
exponent Of Sioux City rs showing its
policy ard feelings toward Dakota that
has made your lone horse town" all it
Is, ycu get frightened at trih2s, but so far

We alaae to this subject, aud rcprin,
the above extracts, for the purpose of cor
rec'inc m error into which the Dukotian
has fallen, when it charges the people of
Sioux City with exhibiting spirit mimi.

Ia. The people Of Sioux Ci,y-her bust

people Of Dakota.
The Dakotian correctly i.fers tina. the
Interests of Northwestern Iowa are ien-
teal With those Of Dakota Territory and
We think little reflection on the par, of
our neil hbor, will cons'rain him, for the
sake OF candor, TO admit that the people
Of Sioux City are guilt ess Of any ac. or
etfor, looking to the destruction Of that
identity. Trade aud commerce seek na.-
ural channels, from which they canno,
lie permanently diverted, no matter by
whom the effort may be made. The ,lor.
oushfare to AMI from the States for the
travel and con- u,ercs of Dakota, Monta-
ma, and the entire country tributary to
the Upper Missouri, is via Yank.on AMI
Sioux City, and attempts to throw it into
unnatural channels will result in the sig.
nal failure of those enga red in any such
enterprise. And we must be allowed to
remark tina. the Dakotians threat uf lea
wing Sioux City out 10 the cod, and re-
fusing hencefor.h TO buy baby wagons
aud seed beans in our market, by effect
ing q railroad connection with Minneso-
t., will not result ia revolution Of the
laws If .rale.
1t is true, however, tha, the .Dahotian
has, in the official acts Of A. w. Hub
bard, and in the course pursued by his
few apologists in this city who are SUP
pied with crumbs in the shape Of petty
Offices from the hand Of their master,
some cause for the an.ipa.hy it manies,s
for our city. Blu, it commits grievoss
error, and does violence to its character
for honesty and fair dealing, when it
speaks Of Hubbard aud his few salaried
retainers in this city a. "lhe people of
Sioux City, Hubbard has no interest in
common with the people of Northwestern
Iowa. He is no. even bona fde citizen
Of the State. His family resides IN ln-
diana, and in his occasional visits to the
Distric: which he misrepresents in Coz.
gress, he comes simply in the character
Of an adven.urer and speculator. lie
has lent himself and what influence the
people invested him with when they gave
him a seat in Congress, to the enemies of
Northwestern Iowa aud Dakota. And
the Dakotian knows full well who these
men sre--the Grineses the Harlans, the
Wilson's, the Kassona, the Shermans, the
kirkwoo9s md the Stones Of central aud
southern Iowa -men whose votes and in.
