The Sioux City Journal which h.. all.

The Sioux City Journal which has all
summer bsen upon the ragged edge Of un-
certainty regarding the intentions Of the
Milwaukee road, has reached point Of
of desperation now that the road is pointing
for our city. 1t sends forth . half colamn
of frantic words, which in substance amounts
to the assertion that somebody has lied, that
'the road will not be built to Yankton."
Hold your peace, good neighbors. The
road will surely be built to Yapkton. While
you say it is not within the arshgsM posi-
bilities for us to raise the mensS,w We ars
steadily At work raising it. Possibly a. you
say, it would bother older snlstwsalthieE
cities to put up the required sum, but you
must remember that Ysnkton has the snap
to accomplish things which older and
wealthisr cities would hesitate to undertake
The construction Of thissrosd will give US .
business sdvantage over Sioux City, which
is apparent enough to the Journal, hence il
cries out against the possibility Of ito accom-
plishment. Yankton also realizes that such
would be the resnlt, and is therefore the
more determined to carry Of, the prize.

in the direction Of Presidio heights, Point

Of the incoming ship bearing the guest for

At the Palace hotel, warmly discussing the
question of carrying out the programme to-

first stroke of the bell ended the discussion.
1t was ~three-quarters of an hour later than

out the demonstration Immediately.
A reception committee Of Eve fastened to
the mail dock and put out seaward without

GENERAL GRANTS RETURN.

Genessl U s. Grant has returned to biz
native land and his arrlva! is q signal to
the waiting nation to bestow its most en-
thusiastic honors upon the man through
whom ito unity and its integrity was pre-
served. We publish in this issue a brief &C.
count Of the magnificent ovation rendered
the hero Of u conquering armies in San
Francisco upon his return fromla journey
around the world. The booming OF can
non, the hearty cheers from thousands Of
loyal Threats, the multitudes which throng'
ed the wharves and hillsides, the illumina-
tons and decorations, the imposing pageant.
the speeches of welcome and the excited Joy
of the populace, must have fixed in the mind
and heart OF General Grant the conviction
that he is not without honor even in his
W land. After two years of royal recep.
tons from foreign p~otentates he places his
feet upon the free soil Of America and finds
chat his fellow countrYmen lead the world
IN the spontaneous magni6cence Of their
welcome. 1t was not a Q partisan greeting.
Political lines were swept away and the
representatives of all parties and factions
stood upon common ground and extended
warm greetings to the distinguished travel
