The Peninsuiar Press Association.

The Peninsuiar Press Association.
It was generally conceded by those
present at last weeks meeting of the
Peninsular Press Association that this
particular reunion had been peculiarly
pleasant and profitable, and that the
Associations meetings are ordinarily of
great value in comprising the ends of
the organization. The point was made
also that as a rule the papers that are
hgbitually represented at these reunions
are above the average OF Peninsular
| journalism in those qualities that 90 to
make good newspapers, and we think the
truth OF this will be acknowledged by
any one who is acquainted with these
meetings and who will run over in his
mind the list of newspapers whose repre-
sentatives he is accustomed to meet upon
such occasions,
Just as well taken was the point that
as far as possible papers should be repre-
scented at the associations meeting by
either their editors or some one con-
nected with the work of newspaper
making, this idea, OF course, not ex-

In all the talk about successful strad-
die of the main question by the convention
recently held in Fargo, one thing is evil
IDENTIFY lost sight of. 1t will be remembered
that an alleged executive committee was
appointed and powers of conference given
its members, and besides this, the commit
tee is composed of men who have as great
regulations for jobbery as any in the
whole territory. The Valley City Times
says: The Fargo convention has received
about an equal share of praise and abuse
from the territorial press. Yet consider
ing the harmlessness of the entire proceed
ing, except perhaps it is
that portion of the proceedings,
which by resolution makes this con-
vention and the members thereof the
perpetual mouth piece of North Dakota,
when in reality it is no such an organiza-
ton, nor do we think the people will so
consider it, this discussion is decidedly
immaterial. The members of this may
consider themselves delegates for aye, ow-
ing to the words 'sother collateral issues"
being embodied in the call. The people
of the territory are quite competent to
elect another set of delegates to further
attend to the requirements of the territory.
The Tweed ring was upset just when it had
reached the zenith of its prosperity and
power. That event should prove lasting
warning TO all others.

The Tsco Sides Of the Question.

Respecting the present fight between the
millers and the railroads, to reporter a
miller stated yesterday:
'The trouble Is, the miller's association
don't know what it wants. l think the sit
uatien was expressed few days ago by the
man who said: Take the millers together
and they are pack of fools; taken as in
dividuals and they are as smart as any
body They want one thing to-day and
another tomorrow. The thing must be
settled, and now is as good time as any,
for the reason that the mills are getting
all the wheat they want. 1t will result in
the association adopting policy, and
sticking to it through the year."
"What if the railroads go to shipping
wheat past us?"
SWELL, we'll lose it, and will be obliged
to stand it-that's all. But in tine end the
result will be beneficial"
The following expression was made by q
prominent railroad official:
"The millers want the whole earth, and
they think they won't get it unless they
ask for it. They are not satisfied with
running their mills, bat they want to run
the railroads and everything else. They
say they can get enough wheat from the
