INVENTIVE GENIUS.
Aitkin Age.

IF there is any one thing which we as
Americans have Just reason to feel proud Of
tits our inventive genius. No nation or peo-
ole on earth have ever such fame and renown,
or have given to humanity SO many blessings
and comforts through their inventions as the
Americans. We who day by day and year by
year receive the benefits of their use and whose
lives are rendered more complete and happy
every moment thereby do not appreciate
their importance nor how burdensome would
be our lives and daily toll if deprived Of them.
So habituated have we become to the an
nouncement of some new and wonderful in
vention that nothing, no matter what de-
partment of business or labor it may reVo-
lutionize, creates more than a passing com
ment.
The world is to-day prepared to receive any
announcement of an achievement of Ameri-
can inventive genius with the utmost Gre
dulity. There is apparently no absolute
limit to its productive power, overthroWing
the fine-spun theories of the scientists and
overcoming the resistance of natural laws.
Although prepared from a careful perusal
of the description of the fine new Hoe web
perfecting press recently put in operation by
the Globe Printing Company, OF st. Paul, L
was filed with awe and amazement as l stood
beside it, few mornings since, and saw it
creating perfect and complete eight page
newspapers at the rate of 20, 900 per hour.
A mass of finely wrought machinery, man
at a lever, roll of white paper suspended
above his head was what l saw as l entered
the press-room The next instant the mass
began to move, and at my feet the hundreds
and thousands of perfect papers began to
fall like the autumn leaves of
the forest. The lightning ra-
pidity of it's motion, the perfection OF its
work, and the ease with which it is handled,
alike claimed my establishment and admira-
ton I'n tell the readers of the Age
what I thought: The only difference be-
tween that press and the one upon which the
Age is printed is that the one prints 10000
an hour while the other is in luck if it grinds
out thousand in twenty hours. This is
great age this nineteenth century.
AT THE FRONT OF AMERICAN JOURNALISM.
Fargo Argus.
The st. Paul GLOBE fully sustains the high
anticipations had in regard to it as it emerged
from the formative stages of metropolitan
journalism into the broad and almost
limitless sphere opened before it. With the
finest mechanical facilities in the country
and abundant resources, it has jumped to
the front of American journalism. 1t has
utilized and developed all the essentials for,
and is now truly great newspaper. 1t is
the first of the great journals in the states to
fully realize the fact that the grandest region
in the limits of the republic is rapidly filling
with population unsurpassed for intell-
gence and enterprise, and has assigned
special department in its columns to their
interest This can be, and it is believed, is
being made of vast advantage to Dakota and
Montana. Through this thousands abroad
learn of the life, development and resources
of these magnificent territories. They hear
of the success and prosperity of those who
have cast their lots in these inviting fields,
and watch the growth Of villages, towns and
cities, with daily picturing of the wonder
full movements that in a day as it were cause
the wilderness to blossom as the rose and
civilization and the best features of modern
society to spring full handed and complete
all over the boundless prairies. This can
but be of great advantage to the territories,
and The GLOBE merits large credit for its
liberal and wise attention to the interests of
the new realms of the Northwest.
GAS ITHERs SEE U.s."
Mankato Free Press.I
The st. Paul GLOBE of last Wednesday
morning gives a most exhaustive account of
the different industrie of our city, its pro-
minent establishments, natural resources,
shipping facilities, etc., and gives to its
readers an accurate statement of the condi-
ton of affairs as the reporter found them
here. In no other paper published outside
of this city has there appeared such thor
ough compilation of the different advanta-
ges of Mankato, and the GLOBE has earned
no little credit for this stroke of enterprise
We should be pleased to clip extensively from
the articles but must content ourselves and
our readers by giving the conclusion of the
writer
BRIGHT, FRESH AND ABLE.
Austin Transcript.
The st. Paul Daily GLOBE, the Democratic
organ of Minnesota, is in every sense of the

at the very front in enterprise, opposition to
