and overfowing with sound, practical, COM
mon sense views, is not saying a tlthe of
what might be said in its favor. The
sentences were what the major stated the
editorial should be-brief, clear, incisive,
destitute of verbosity. Add to this the
apt and pretty metaphors, the fowery
similes, the polished periods, had all the
weight and advantage of the majors
sonorous voice and finished elocution. In
taking his seat he was greatly applauded.
Mr.. F. R. Morrissy, of the Dispatch, then
read paper upon ''The Personal" which
that gentleman treated in a humorous
vein. The paper appeared to give general
satisfaction and at times awak-
ened the merriment of the assembly.
DR.. j. T. Smith, who was down in the pro-
gramme for paper on "Quack Advertise
ments," was next called upon, and as he
did not respond Mr.. H. P. Hall, of the
GLOBE, read whimsical paper upon
Ready print, its economy, its use and
abuse" which convulsed the audience with
laughter. Mr.. d. Ramaley next read good
practical paper upon "The use
of stereotype plates and ap-
paratus in country Offices"
which gave rise to some useful discussion.
The treasurer next reported as follows:
Balance in hand June 49, $53 80
Excursion money $76 80
Totat June 10. .S13O sc
Amount expended. ed.............$7 $71 90
Balance on hand before commencing this
excursion. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 500 80
The report, on motion, was accepted.
The treasurer then stated that the asso-
citation had had sufficient funds for the last
three years without calling upon the old
members for subscriptions-the dollar
paid by new members having been found,
with the proceeds of the excursion, to
cover all expenses.
On motion a committee of three, con-
sisting of H. o. Bassford, H E. Hoard and
F. R. Morrissy, was appointed to nom
mate officers for the ensuing year.
While this committee were preparing
their report discussion took place upon
the old, old theme of quack medicine ad-
vertisements, several gentlemen taking
part in the debate, some of whom advo-
Gated shutting out entirely all notices and
puffs of quack nostrums, others advocating
the more cautious policy of excluding those
only who pay we'll, advancing the some
what peculiar doctrine that if the adver
tiser was ready with the cash and willing
to ''come down" handsomely with the
dust that his medicine was sure to be a
good thing and worthy public patronage.
The subject soon extended to all foreign"
advertisements, legal and state advertising
and the propensity of newspaper editors
to ''cut each others throats" in accepting
advertisements. It was generally recon-
mended not to accept any quack
medicine advertisements unless paid
for in advance, and still further
that no special rates and conditions
be offered such advertisers. the general
experience being, as expressed, that the
agents of quacks go round the country
preying upon country editors as their
nostrums do upon the public. On this
subject Major Newson made sensible
and practical speech when he was requested
to speak on the Subscription LISTS"
which he did to the undivided attention of
the house, advising all editors not to issue
their paper to any who does not pay in
advance, assuring his hearers that man
values that only which costs him some
thing.
A committee consisting of Messrs.
Roberts, Hoard and G. F. Case were ulti-
mately appointed to consider the best
method of treating the questions discussed

THE BANQUET.
At the banquet given at the handsome
and commodious dining hall of the union
depot there were present some hundred
and seventy guests, among them not few
ladies. The banquet was we'll served and
the guests appeared to thoroughly enjoy
the good things bountifully provided.
There not being time for speech making,
resolutions were prepared and carried by
acclamation thanking the st. Paul press
and the Newspaper union for the splendid
entertainment, after which the guests took
themselves to the three sleepers and other
cars provided to take them on their trip to
DEVILS Lake. During the banquet each
guest was presented with a copy of &C Ie-
