The Visiting DakOtians--YOu Lie,
sYOu ViIIain--LOve's Armistice.
The gentlemanly moulders of opinion,
composing the Dakota Press association,
spent the day very pleasantly in Minneap-
oils, which they voted the queen city OF the
Northwest. They had no business on hand
and gave themselves up wholly to pleasure.
At O'Clock carriages were in waiting at
the West hotel, and the forenoon was spent
in driving about the city. The beautiful
residence portion was first visited, then
the thriving business quarter, ana lnally
the manufacturing district, including the
mills. In the afternoon the motor carried
the Marty to the Falls of Minnehaha, where
an hour was spent. Fort Smelling was in
spected. and the editors returned about
O'Clock. Complimentary tickets carried a
gOodly number to the circus last night,
while Others from the windows and bal
cony of the West, had an opportunity
of observing the fire department
handle a baZe-a spectacle that has not
been furnished for the edifcation of
any of the visiting delegations this summer.
To-day the party will visit MinnetOnka,
and will go through to St. Paul on its re-
turn.
At a meeting yesterday morning the as
sociation considered the appeal recently
sent out from the cyclone sufferers at High
more. A series of resolutions was adopted,
of which the following is the substance:
Resolved, That this association considers
this appeal uncalled for and an imposition
upon the charitable people appealed to, since
the cyclone loss is not of sufficient extent to
warrant the appeal, and the people of Da-
kota are abundantly able and anxious and
willing to render all the aid necessary in the
case.

Col Ed Atterbury. armed to the teeth, is
looking for the individual who started the
story given in yesterdays GLOBE, viz:
That the project to introduce a,new evening
paper had met an early death. He gives
an emphatic denial TO the statements, in
toto. and says time will verify the denial.
1t is believed the Mercury people know
something OF this, for they are GER
tainly going to move off from
the Journal and will do their
own press work and composition. After
bury may Jump in and secure his United
Press franchise, and then, with requisite
capital, let the other offices whistle. Ed
ward has head as long as barrel, and
confidently asserts he knows a hawk from
hand-Saw. Mercury is too small planet
TO eclipse the whole celestial system with
the fenced earth thrown in, you know.

Having silenced the swamp gun of the
opposition and mOpped the city with the
disfigured corpse, the general manager and
the city editor will procure a jug of
Waukesha and pair of red-hots and pre-
pare to bury the Ratchet. 1t will be merry
meeting. No more hard names and no
prospective duel. Now, ''we are
britherS a." Love quaTels only
sweeten the reconciliation and hav-
ing proved each others brands they will
clasp each others neckS. Beside this friend
ship, all fond recOllectiOns of David and
Jonathan, Damon and Pythias, Johnson
and Boswell fado away. How sweet it is!
Dove-like peace spread her wings and love
proclaimS an armiStice.
