plug hats as the prevailing fashion among
gentlemen in Cheyenne, and some twenty
two young men have ordered each a bat,
which will soon make its appearance. No
doubt a plug hat is very becoming to

these would be the sage brush reporter.

AN EXAMPLE OF PROGRESS.

Eastern cities accustomed to the slow
methods which have characterized their
progress, Injured to the at times exasperat-
ing deliberateness with which buildings
public and private are erected, may learn
an instructive lesson of Western energy and
enterprise from the Minneapolis Exposition
management. In few if any Eastern cities
would it have been possible to undertake
and carry to a successful conclusion in such
short time huge enterprise like the Ex-
position. 1t is only in the West, where
infectious energy seems to be in the
air, that men are to be found who,
when they give their aid to a public
undertaking are not content to let it be
aid of simply a pecuniary nature, but who
give what is in many cases even more valu-
able. their time and personal attention to-
wards assuring the successful completion
of the enterprise. There is a unanimity of
purpose and heartiness of cooperation
Which has almost come to be proverbial re-
garding the West. and the result is the
surety of success in anything which meets
with popular favor and support. 1t has
been so with the building of the Exposition.
The typical Western energy has character
lied its management from the start
Through no other means could it be made
ready, as the certainty now is, at the ap-
pointed time. Doubtless the same go
aheadativeness will insure its success in a
financial way after its doors have been
thrown omen.

senators will be little shaky in their oppo-
sition to it, and it will be difficult matter
for the money kings to defeat the passage
of the resolution. The GLOBE has had
occasion to criticise Mr.. MORRISON very
freely for his management, or rather
mismanagement, of the tariff con-
test. 1t is therefore with the more
pleasure it congratulates him upon having
tackled a measure of so much Importance
that he has succeeded in handling so skill
fully. 1t is the most statesmanlike move
ment that congress has made in a long
time. The idea of piling up a surplus in
the treasury, to be made the prey of the
lobby gang, who invest the national
capital while the nation is annu-
ally paying out millions of dollars
in interest on debt that ought
to have been Equidated is simply ridiculous.
Whenever the government pursues the
MORRISON plan of applying the treasury
surplus to payment of the national debt the
lobbyists will dispense. The eagles do not
gather together where there is no carcass to
consume. And when the national debt is
Hquidated there will be no sort of an excuse
for an oppressive tariff. Congress has
struck the right track at last. Now let
public sentiment force that body to keep
the right track

RETURN OF THE MILITIA.

The conclusion of the various encamp-
ments of state troops and the return of the
soldiers of day to their homes is an appro-
pirate time for emphasizing the value of a
well-organlzed and welI-drilled body Of
militia to the community at large. 1t is all
well enough to poke little harmless fun at
the boys in blue once in a while, and none
enjoy it more than themselves, but the fact
should not be lost sight of that while the
awkward squads may be rather frequent
the skilled soldiers and accomplished tacti-
clans are as numerous in the National
guard as in the regular army.
In fact, experience during the late
war demonstrated that the militia when
well systematized were uneXceled as sold
ers by even some of the famed regiments
of other lands. Even the famous Old
Guard, NAPoLEoN's pride, which Knight
die but never surrender" was called up in
comparison many times during the civil
war, with militia, and never to the dis
credit of the latter. The national guard
must, in the nature of things. be the main
reliance of the country in the time Of riot,
civil conflict or foreign invasion. 1t is
therefore of the utmost Importance that it
should reach in Its efficiency the highest
possible standard. To the accomplishment Of
this end periodical encampments materially
contribute, and in the attainment of the re-
suit desired it is evident the Minnesota mil
itia are rapidly progressing, Give the boys
in blue the credit that is theirs by right.

TOO ATTRACTIVE.

The Minnesota Editorial association yes
terday repealed its bylaw requiring the
annual sessions of that body to be held at
the state capitol, and directed the executive
committee to select some place for the next
annual meeting outside of st. Paul or Min
neapolis. The reasons urged for this action
by the mover of the original resolution was
that when the editors came to st.
Paul they find so much to occupy
their time and attention it was
impossible to keep them together, and con-
sequentIy it was next to impossible to trans
act the business of the association, and no
opportunity afforded to cultivate sociability.
ST. Paul is usually proud of its growth and
its attractions. and it is therefore sort of
an anomalous condition of affairs that the
city is compelled to regret that the things
Of which she has been boaSting are the
causes which will deprive us of the pres
ence in the future of our brethren
of the press. We love to have our
country neighbors with us at least once
year. We always enjoy their annual
visit and have always endeavored to make
their sojourn in our midst pleasant to them.
But if the city is getting so large that they
get lost in it, and our attractions are so fas-
cinating and varied as to lure them from
the business of the association, we can't
complain of their action. We can't afford
to reduce the size of the city or to
diminish its attractiveness, as much
as we would like to please our
friends of the rural press. st. Paul
is on the upward boom, and all creation
couldn't stop its growth OF make it less at
tractive. We think, upon the whole, how
ever, that the Editorial association has done
right in spreading itself out all over the
state, The annual associations ought to be
held in different sections each year. 1t is
better for the members of the association to
move around and get better acquainted
with each other, and to know more of the
state in which they are laborers. st. Paul
is notgeing to be deprived entirely of their
visits. If the city is so attractive now as
to lure them from the business of the edito-
rial conventions, it is going to be attractive
enough in the future to lure them from
their offices and bring them down to see
The city every opportunity that presents it
self You will always find the latch
string, gentlemen, hanging OH the outside
of the city's gates. All you will have to do
will be TO pull the string and walk in with
out waiting for ceremony or further invita-
ton.

A CONTINENT RESORT.

st. Paul is honored to-day with the pres
ence of three very important and disGin-
gnished bodies. First ON the list are the
Minnesota editors, who are holding their
nineteenth annual convention in this city;
the second body of visitors are the men,
bers Of the National Library association,
who are on pleasure excursion to this
metropolis of the Northwest; and the third
body of celebrities are the members
of the National Conference of Cor
rections and Charities, which opens
its annual session in the state house this
evening. AS all roads once led to Rome,
so it has come to pass that every party of
summer excursionists who are in search of
genuine pleasure find their way to st. Paul.
1t has come to be recognized that as a
pleasant summer resort Minnesota has no
equal on the American continent. And as
the result of our successful ice carnival, it
is beginning to dawn upon the minds Of
people in all parts of the world that it is
just as pleasant in st. Paul in the winter
season as in the summer. And from hence
forth our city is to be filled the year round
with bands of pleasure-seeking pilgrims.

DE WILL NOT COME.


1t is to be hoped that the reported deci-
sion made by the president not to come
West this year is a mistake. In some re-
spects the president must acknowledge that
his experience has been limited, and one Of
these is his acquaintance or rather
lack of acquaintance with the West
and its boundlesS resources. Who, for in
stance, could doubt but that after arriving
in Duluth and listening to the persuasive
harangues of that city's irrepressible BOOM
ers upon its growing and certain greatness,
the president would hesitate long before
vetoing another Duluth public building BILL
when experience had shown him that such
a structure is or soon will be a
necessity. Then. coming down to st. Paul,
the president could not fail but be i'm
pressed with ST. Paul's needs also in the
way of public building adequate to the
accommodation of the vast amount of gov
eminent business transacted here yearly.
In a thousand and one ways, Of which
these two examples are merely passing in
stances, the president would have the
range of his ideas increased and would be
enabled to act more intelligently upon the
vast number of Western matters continu-
ally coming before him. Undoubtedly Mr..
CLEVELAND is missing an opportunity
by declaring his intention of camp
ing out in the Adirondacks instead
of coming West. though in the
seclusion it offers it must be admitted that
form of a vacation has advantages which
could not fail to commend themselves to a
happy pair of honeymoon lovers. Then
again it does Mrs. CLEvELAND's recently
acquired reputation as a clever politician
little credit not to observe that Western
tour, with the accompanying crowds of
wire pullers which would necessarily sue
cumb to her fascination at different places
during the trip would be no inconsderable
factor in bringing about that second term
for which she is said to be so anxious. For
the West intends to have good deal to
say in the next national convention. After
all, would not Mrs. CLEVELAND better
bring about reconsideration of the Adiron-
dacks trip and come instead to the bound
less and hospitable West, which waits ready
| to do her reverence?
