The enmity that exists between the cities OF
st. Louis and Chicago is fraternal love COM
pared with the feelings that st. Paul and
Minneapolis, Mimi, entertain for each other.
There are many circumstances to develop and
increase this rivalry and jealousy. The two
towns are only ten miles apart, and OF nearly
the same population. One Is manufacture
ing, the other commercial place. This leal-
ousy Is so great that even politics give way
before 1t. Last year W. d. Washburne, OF
Minneapolis, for instance, was the Republican
candidate for Congress. SO bitterly did St.
Paul hate Minneapolis that nearly every Re
publican OF the former town boIted the regu-
Lar Republican nominee and voted for the
Democratic candidate In order to beat Min
neapoIis man. On the other hand, the Demo-
Gratis of Minneapolis voted unanimously for
Washburne, to show that they would not
stand dictation from st. Paul. This warfare
between these two rival cities has lately
broken out again. Apropos of the Minnesota
State Fair, Minneapolis announced State
fair for certain date. st. Paul, determined
not to be thus beaten also advertised for a
State fair fixed on exactly the same date.
There are now two Minnesota State fairs in
working order within five miles OF each other.

The Constitutional Convention occupied
yesterdays session with debate on Judge
Hough's resolution providing for an oath to
be taken by the members, and a discussion q
the report of the Committee on Rules. The
President announced number Of the standing
committees, and gave notice that he would
appoint the others to-day. The resolution OF
Judge Hough was finally laid on the table,
with all the amendments connected with It,,
by the close vote of GA to 63. This was not a
test, however, as many of the delegates who
would have voted against the resolution, had
themselves recorded against the motion to
table. The majority Of the Democrats and g
few Republicans voted to OPPOSE OF the sub
lect matter in this manner. Those Democrats
: who supported the resolution did SO on the
ground OF policy. The weight of authority
was shown to be against imposing any oath
on members OF Constitutional Convention,
ana the Convention decided, properly, we
believe, TO follow well-eetablished precedent
70 the matter, without considering the n,es-
ION from political o. Sentimental stand
point. sSaA10

The spring crop Of Opponents is very
promising. It started with the elopement Of
the daughter Of Gov. Hubbard with her
fathers coachman; then young lady of
wealthy parents in Ohio ran off with a Per-
fectionist; another wealthy young lady Of
New York espoused a car conductor who had
been especially polite to her; and, lastly,
Miss Townsend, daughter of publisher of
some means of New York, has Initiated the
example OF Miss Hubbard, and married her
fathers coachman. These cases seem to
have become infectious, and elopements of
young ladies with coachmen and conductors
are becoming alarmingly frequent. News
paper notices only add to this epidemic 1t
has certainly begun in a startling manner;
there is no knowing where it will end.

The counties and municipalities Of Missouri
owe $50, O0O, 600 in bonds bearing the extraor-
binary high interest OF 10 per cent. 1t has
been evident for some time that these coun-
ties are unable longer to bear this heavy bur-
den placed upon them In the days OF infla-
ton, when money was cheap and easily OBJ
tainable. For some time past, efforts have
been made by the counties to compromise this
debt By reducing the principal to 66ss cents
on the dollar and the interest to per cent. q
bill to that effect has lately passed the Mis-
souri, Legislature, and several counties, La
fayette and Galloway among them, have ar
ranged compromise. In all the other IN
stances, the counties agree to the proposed
compromise, but the bondholders refuse to
accept the terms offered them, and are calling
on the United States courts to interfere. Inc
matter promises to be an interesting one, as
the United States courts and the Missouri
Legislature find themselves opposed to each
other and In direct conflict. 1t remains to be
seen which will yield.
