pose of such comparison.
And now the SUNDAY GLOBE, speaking for
the GLOBE every day in the year, desires to
say word to the business men and citizens
of st. Paul generally. The GLoBH desires
to be known and recognized as a st. Paul
paper, with no divided aims or affections.
While it is in favor of the develop
ment of all the State, in every
possible manner, it is in favor es-
pecially of the development of st. Paul, and
whenever questions arise between this city
and other localities, the GLOBE will be found
battling with all the vigor it possesses in be-
| half of the city it represents. The GLOBE
does not emulate the boast of cotemporaIy,
| that it is published as much in the interest of
| another city as of St. Paul. On the contrary,
the GLOBE, though a paper for the entire
State, stands as the especial representative of
but one city, and that city is ST. Paul. St.
| L
| in the new Northwest. Her business men
| are able and energetic, and if they have
which lead them to develop too large an area
of country, to the corresponding neglect of
| their own especial bailiwich. ST. Paul never
has, like some other localities, pursued a
! narrow policy, and while her citizens are to
| be commended for their breadth. the time
| has arrived for them to remember that
charity begins at home. Without detracting
| from others, St. Paul must devote her CAPT
tai to developing ST. Paul. She has stretched
forth her iron arms until she embraces a
| territory within radius Of five hundred
| miles, When the territory which ST. Paul
already spans is fully developed, who can
even imagine the commerce which will be
poured into the lap Of this city? 1t will re-
| quire the strides of a giant to keep pace
with the demands Of the country already
! tributary to this city, and when the Northern
Pacific adds the trade of Montana and Idaho,
as it very soon will, st. Paul will stand in
territorial position equal to Chicago and ST.
Louis, and far in advance of Cincinnati and
every other city not on the seaboard. The
St. Paul & Pacific road, with its extensions
the present year, places an empire at our
feet-pours not only the trade of our own
country, but that of the British possessions
into our lap.
The GLOBE asks no prouder position than
to labor earnestly and with singleness of
purpose to aid IN making city commensu-
rate with the position occupied by st. Paul.
The newspapers of a city are the index by
| which it is known. They are the unceasing,
constant advertisement of the locality they
represent. The people of St. Paul have but
one morning newspaper representing this
| city. The GLOBE goes forth as St. Paul
institution 1t appeals to the people of St.
Paul, irrespective of politics, religion, race,
color, or ''preyious condition of servitude,''
toaid in building their city by supporting tie
GLOBE in a manner which will enable us to
keep this paper ahead of all other develop
ment, no matter how great that progress
may be. The newspaper should be the ad-
vance sentinel and not the laggard. The
GLOBE will always be in the advance, but to
what extent rests with the business men of
st. Paul to say.
And now the SUNDAY GLOBE, speaking
far more for the interests Of this city than
for itself, asks the people of St. Paul to con-
slider whether they should longer cherish a
newspaper viper, which having been warmed
into life by their munifcence, openly boasts
that it is published as much in the interest
of another city as that of St. Paul. And
not only makes this boast, but gives it prac-
teal effect by allowing that other city to
abuse, yillify and misrepresent St. Paul in its
columns without permitting word in defence
of this city. Still more, its columns are
always open to the bombastic bloviation of
the other city, while not word of praise of
st. Paul is allowed TO appear, lest it might
give ofense to its patrons in the moro ia
vored locality.
The GLeBE does not need to suggest the
remedy. While that viper was the only
medium for news in this city there was some
excuse for its support. That excuse exists
no longer. So long as our citizens make
1t pay the concern in question, SO long can
they expect to be stabbed by the hand which
they fatten.
The GLOBE submits the question for re-
Fiction. Its line of policy is clear and I'M
mistaken and taken both from inclination
and self interest We say self interest, not
with especial reference to the G1oBH, but
with reference to st. Paul. We have no in
terests elsewhere or divided affections The
of St. Paul is our prosperity and
every citizen, loyal to this city, should seek
in every honorable manner to increase that
The GLOBE promises, in any
event, to do more than ITS share, and as
much more as the people Of St. Paul, by
sheir support, choose to give it power to ac-
complish.
