Mr.. Peck said: MIR. President and
fellow citizens of the state of Wiscon-
sin: From the text OH which | am to
address, you. it would seem that l am
an old back number-a budget of rem
inences. / shall have to take the pres
ident to task for this intimation.
II have been i'm this state AZ years,
and have been connected with news
papers since IA years of age and have
had good opportunities to learn the
power of the press. But in no way
have / seen it more than in the rising
cities. The press of the state is re-
sponsible for the prosperity of the
cities within its borders The Editor
ial Association when first organized
began to make cities. 1t commenced
at Milwaukee, it found it a town of
As 900 which has gone forward until
it is now grand municipality OF 2ob,
900 souls. for which the press Of Wis
cousin is largely responsible. The
next meeting was held at Racine, then
a town of 5000, and it was made the
second city of the state; Fond du Lac
saw the wisdom of the action and got
the association to meet there next.
and Fond du Lac was made the second
city; Oshkosh became jealous of the
honors, invited the association to
meet there; and La Crosse is now the
second city from the same source. You
do wisely to ask the association to
meet here. There is no knowing what
may be the result, it may be as salu-
tory as III the city ! call my own. The
press is entitled to the credit for the
success of the cities and the states. In
the journey to this city we passed
through many little villages where
none of these editors could be hired to
locate unless there was big tax list,
and which might eventually prove
great cities"
wisconsin is a fortunate state.
We have everything we can desire.
We find many states with flies on
them everywhere, but here an asso-
citation IS needed to kill men who re
move from the state. But there are
very few going away. Out West now,
they re all coming east to Wisconsin
to find prosperity and happiness. y
The evenings entertainment closed
with highly appreciated song by the
quartette entitled, ''Kerrie Dancers. >
Those furnishing the musical pro-
gram and Mr.. Will Matchette, under
whose supervision the program was
prepared, were congratulated on all
sides on the happy result of their
efforts

What President Price Said.

When President Price, of the edi-
torial association called the meeting
to order Tuesday morning for the bust
ness session, he addressed the meet
ing as follows:
Members of the Wisconsin, Press Associ
alton:
I'VE have come together for our an
nual frolic. "All work and no play
makes Jack dull boy" says the adage
And just as truly it makes John" a
dull man. Our association long ago
recognized this fact, and has for many
years past set apart brief period for
recreation, an opportunity for sight
seeing, and to broaden our mental
scope beyond the confines of daily rou-
tine. 1t better fits us for business and
editorial work. We learn what other
people are doing, and what progress is
being made under other skies than our
own-to impart it again to our less
fortunate readers. Thus the dwellerS
in one part of the land keep informed
as to what is going on in others, and
the sum total of human knowledge is
measurably accelerated through the
joys of a summer outing.
Last winter, at the memorable SEES
sion of the organization IN the beauti-
full city of GAINESVILLE, a large amount
of time was profitably spent with
speeches, addresses, papers and dis
cussions on various topics of practical
value to the fraternity. The program
has been made less elaborate for the
present occasion so as to afford greater
opportunity for sight seeing and to
drink in copiouS quatfs of this eNIilir-
ating Lake Superior ozone
We desire, if possible, to catch the
magic spirit of enterprise which APP
pears to be lying around prOmiscuous-
ly, and gushing forth like the springs
OF eternal youth, all about this Lal-
lowed land of the Unsalted Sea.
The Wisconsin editors, were from
the start, delighted at the prospect of
rendezvousing i'll Superior. The cor
dial invitation was accepted with
alacrity, and the unbounded hospital
ity SO manifest on every hand Will lin
ger III memory like an irresistible in
tuence
We are glad to be here; to see this
modern prodigy, and to meet the pub
lie spirited people who have outdone
the widest dreams Of the arabian
Knights in the art of city building
Ii oDtdlIlaDle we snail procure the re-
celpt and take it home with us. | am
sure it will cure mOssbackism and fly
blowism. for there are certainly no
flles-no moss-On Superior.
One year ago our association visited
this city and had Il delightful time,
though the elements were unpropiti-
Gus. Then we saw striking evidences
OF faith vim, and wise business di-
rection; but the transfo rmation since
then has been truly marvellous. SO
much SO that feel warranted in par
aphrasIng the boast of Augustus of
old, as contemplate the possibilities
that await the nervy fathers of this
place, and say: They found Superior
bed of clay, but they will leave it a
city built of brick, or may he of marble
We are glad to be here today, and trust
cur stay will be mutually pleasant

A Festival Of New ami Attractive Feat
ures.

Sioux City Daily Times. July 10th.
The management of the Corn Palace,
ever on the alert to add new features
of entertainment in connection with
their festival, have arranged with the
great French artist, Francois Dubois,
to design and costume a grand street
pageant for the Carnival of King Corn,
which opens Sept. 25 and closes Oct. II,
the greatest of all Corn Palace festi-
walls, forming parade that will be
without parallel for novelty, cleaning
glamour and impressive spectacular
grandeur. presenting sumptuous
scenes, thrilling surprises, gorgeous
effects and allegorical cars, a poetical
and historical cyclorama never before
witnessed in the north. The palace
itself offers study for life cine COM
prlsing as it does the consolidation of
three previous Corn Palaces, with the
matured knowledge and benefits such
have to its management.
The interior of the palace of 1890
will be entirely different from the
others. 1t will be Illuminated day and
night with thousands of incandescent
lights, and present double the number
of features heretofore offered. The
leading band has not yet been engaged,
but the management are negotiating
with the leeding musical organizations
of the country. Several other bands
will be in attendance.
PRESS HEADQUARTERS.
Secretary Cleland thinks a press
headquarters should be erected in the
court house lawn on the north side so
as not to interfere with the view from
Pierce street. The secretary has in
mind the comfort of the "press gang"
and wants headquarters where they
can be welcomed and given such in
formation as they may desire.
