CnICAGO,s PEARS.

The Chicago Tribune makes a sickly at
tempt to pooh-pooh the statement made by
the New York Times short time ago that
the Twin Cities of st. Paul andMinneapolis
would soon wreSt the crown of commercial
supremacy from the city by the lake. 1t
was not expected that Chicago newspaper
would make any such concession, but judy
ing from the roundabout way in which the
Tribune approaches discussion of the sub
ject an impartial reader would be impressed
with the belief that the Chicago
people are beg ginning to see the hand
writing on the wall. The Tribune cites
the fact that other cities have been built up
in the West without interfering with Chi
Cages prosperity. 1t refers to Omaha and
Kansas City as illustrations. But the
Tribune fails to note the difference in l0ca-
ton between Omaha and Kansas City on
the one hand and st. Paul and Minneapo-
cities are so situated that they are of neces
sity tributary to Chicago. The Twin Cities
are not in that condition. Shipments can
be made from here to the Eastern seapOrts
entirely Independent of Chicago. The
completion of the Sault Ste Marie and the
Duluth & Atlantic lines will make the Twin
Cities just as independent of Chicago as
they are of Winnipeg or New Orleans. 1t
is Chicago's misfortune that such is the
case, but it is none the less true.
