A FEARFUL NEWSPAPER OUARREL.
The Minneapolis Tribune and Pioneer
Press are at their old game again of endeavor-
ing to bamboozle the Minneapolis public in
to the belief that the two establishments are
separate. AS matter of fact Minneapolis
has no daily paper at all. The st. Paul Pso-
neer Press and Minneapolis Tribune are all
one concern, and owned in st. Paul, but
when Minneapolis gets little extra excite
ment on board the two papers fall to abus-
ing each other, hoping thereby to prevent
the establishment of real Minneapolis
paper, which could be relied on to be as mean
and narrow as Bill Washburn.
The p. p. yesterday INDUCED in the fol-
lowing gentle hint to Davy Blakely:
The Tribune never mentions the State agri-
cultural society without speaking of it as a
bankrupt concern. This is sort of black
guardism which suggests comprehensive posi-
bilities of retort and we would urgently ad-
wise the editor of the Tribune to make the most
of this gentle hint.
The possibilities of the partners telling
what they know about David affords fine
field for thought. This threat, of course,
aroused Davy's bile, and with the character
istic vigor and ferceness of the sucking
dove the Tribune replies:
That was the simple truth. The Tribune
abates not a jot nor little of it, and the Pho
1eer Press can put it in its pipe and smoke it
if it likes.
That was an awful severe thing for David
to say relative to his beloved partners, but
when they threatened to ventilate his bank
ruptcy it was too much, David's blood boiled
and he absolutely told the P. P. to 'put it
in its pipe and smoke it, Great heavens.
what quarrel. How can David be so severe
on Joseph, his old friend and present partner
in business
1t may be a crumb of comfort to the ex-
cited Minneapolitans Gf any such there be
save Dave Blakely) to say that while
the Pioneer Press is located and printed
in st. Paul it is poor old hermaphrodite,
and does not dare to defend the interests of
st. Paul for fear it will offend it's Minneapo-
lis patrons. So far as its subject matter is
concerned it is more of Minneapolis than
st. Paul paper, and hence while Minneapolis
groWls, the double ender is eating dirt and
really abusing st. Paul, whose merchants
support it.
In this unhappy state of affairs the high
toned and consistent course of the GLOBE
stands forth in brilliant contrast. The
GLOBE is St. Paul paper and
makes no hypocritical attempt to be
otherwise but it treats Minneapolis with the
utmost fairness. That is all our Minneap-
oils friends have right to ask, and is GER
tainly all the reasonable ones qoiW ask.
If the dastardly betrayal of St. Paul and
st. Paul interests by the P. P. in nearly
every issue, does not satisfy the Minneapol-
itan incorrigibles their case is hopeless and
the sooner they tip the mushy Dave Blakely
out of the Tribune and establish morning
paper of their own the better their
happiness. AS it stands at present
st. Paul furnishes MINNEAPOLIS
all of her daily papers Gncluding the 1ri-
6une) and the dirt eating of the hermaphro-
dite very naturally is unsatisfactory. Ger
tain it IS that Minneapolis never can be in
any sense competitor of st. Paul until she
has newspaper of her own, independent
of Dave Blakely and Joe Wheelock.
