UNION OF THE TWINS.

Those cherublc twins. Minneapolis
and st. Paul, have agreed to a tempo
rary truce, and another scheme is now
on foot to unite the two.-Quincy Wing.
United the two cities would have a
population of nearly 100000, and would
make really impressive metropolis Tor
the MISUNDERSTANDING Courier.
st. Paul and Minneapolis propose to
unite. They are closely connected al
ready, in business and conveyances,
and they are not far apart in distance.
Hartford Times.
st. Paul and Minneapolis propose to
join forces and become one. Like a
good many married couples, they will
have tremendous row to determine
which is that ''one."-New York Her
aid.
There is talk that Minneapolis and st.
Paul will unite under one city govern
ment. 1t might be we'll to clear off the
forest between the two towns before
making them into one. -Providence
Telegram.
st. Paul and Minneapolis have not yet
quarreled regarding the new scheme of
unifcatlon into one city. The pinch
Will come when they begin to wonder
which is to absorb the Other.-BoSton
Record.
st. Paul and Minneapolis talk of har-
moniZing their difference and uniting
their forces into one grand municipal
ity. Chicago would have a formidable
rival with these two cities combined
New Haven Register.
Minneapolis and st. Paul are taking
steps to consolidate into one city. If
this is done it will make some of the
ahead of the Twin cities at the next
census.-New Orleans Delta.
If st. Paul and Minneapolis should
get together they would be enabled to
beat the census without any of the set
backs encountered at the hands of I'M
sympathetic officials year ago. The
only apparent objection to their consol-
idatiOn would lie in the fact that the
stimulus of local competition would be
lessened for time. Philadelphia Rec
ord.
They are now talking of making St.
Paul and Minneapolis one city. Will a
bride and bridegroom who ouarreled so
perpetually before marriage live to-
gether in harmony after the wedding?
If the marriage will put a stop to the
everlasting row between this quarrel
some couple, the whole country will be
eager for the ceremony to proceed
Boston Globe.
The cities are closely adjacent, identi-
cal in interests, and their common
progress will be best Subserved by unit
ing under single government. With
consolidation the energy now spent in
jealousies and quarrels will be directed
toward their mutual progress. The
thinly settled space between them
would be quickly filled up by manufac-
tories and residences. and the united
city would take Its proper rank as one
of the leading centerS of trade and en-
terprise in the ountry.-Pittsburg Dis
patch.
Some bold Minnesotians have actually
had the unparalleled audacity to pro-
pose uniting st. Paul and Minneapolis.
Why, if they held public meeting for
the purpose out there delegates from
one town could hardly be induced to
attend all &ssemblage in the other, and
if any one should venture to call the
name of one town before the other in
Offering such a resolution it would prob
ably result in free fight. 1t is not
very likely that the Northwestern twins
will ever be tremendously united.-Sa-
