THE "EPEgIAL TRAIN" NoNBENsE.
Thorc Ia nothing like enterprise IN this world,
especially whoa ~ Is cheap. md costs neithor
money nor trouble. THO Chicago Times Just
now is afflicted with this kind Of enterprise iu
the mattor Of Especial lrnins," aud IL blowing
Its horns ~ vigorously II it owned al tho rail-
roads comforting In Chicago, mud dispatched ali
the trains upon tllon,. 1t has beon the regular
practice Of tho Northwestern Road to sond out
L trim Of empty cars to Clinton o.ery Saturday
night. Reccntly, tie managers Of the road
changed the time Of this regular train to Sunday
morning. in order to accommodate tho Chicago
nowspapors published on that morning. Straight
way tho Times comes out with 4 aamboyant au-
nouncomont Of !" its special train," aud prints
timo-tablo. In ordor to further accommodate tho
newspapers, this Sunday trains timo has been
SO fixed ns to enalle ii to connect at Turner's
Junction with another empty regular train,
which runs up tho Fox River Valley to Agon-
quin after milk. Tho Times theroupon blowa
another blast about its Especial train," and pub
lishcs timetable, when tho faet Is that tho
Fox Riyor train IL regular train carrying back
tho Algonquin milk-cans as empty az tho 1imas
itself. If tAoro is any enterprise ut all in this, it
ID the enterprise Of tho Northwestern Road,
which gives tho pcoplo along its lines an oppcr-
tunily to got The CHICAGO Tribune, and other
Chicago paporR. "Our special train and tour
timetable aro simply gra,uisoua pieccs Of i'm
puaonce. Tho Times has just as mitch ground
to claim enterprise for the running Of
rogulnr trnins on Sunday aH it haa
for tho rs>aning Of regular trains
On other days, aud no more. Tue Cut
oAao TRIBUNE Ia dcliyorod Oh overy carly train
that leaves Chicago, and will bo now and honce-
forth. Il haa neyor occurred to us, however, to
claim these regular trainH as Bpoclal to THE
TRIBUNE, nor to loludo people with the idea that
itwas any particular enterprise on Our part to
deliver TnniuSEs to our rural readers Oh Sunday
morning, nor to publish timetable for tho
benotlt Of thosa readers, who aro quito aa we'll
aware when the regular trains roach thoir
stations as wo arc. It being tho Tines idea Of
enterprise, however, to claim empty trains
and. milk-cars which are mixing regular
trips as its special trains, what o
magnificent field ofrora itsolf to TINT
Paper for the publication Of ti1no-tablos.
There GRO humorous other trains which loavo
Sundays whoso time-tablc8 can be utilized.
Tloro aro regular steamboats, aud excursion
stcamboata. Thoro Is tho Hyde Park dummy,
with magnificent opportunity for tinie-tablcs,-
Oakland, Kenwood, Cleavervillo, Eoform School,
and all tho streets from Thirty-ninth to Sixteth,
including tue parks. There Ia tho North Side
dummy, stopping all along tho liuo from
Wlights Grove to tho cemetery, with tho bcer-
shops thrown in, whose timetable won1d fill q
column. The VARIOUS horae-car and omnibus
lines might bo utilized as special trains, md rs
moro OF loss papers arc carried upon tAom, by
all means lot us haye their timetables. Why
not also g,ye us the timetables OF such canal
boats as leave OH Sunday mornings? Let
it get up au o1-team oxprosB from Wo1ls street
to ouch poiats Ga cauno+ be reached by railroad,
cheap entorpriso. In tho meantimo, while tho
Times il engaged in printing tho timetables OF
the various regular trains which leave this city
Sunday mornings, and in claiming tAem az it's
special trains, VIC are FREQ to inform our readers
that THE CHICAGO Tn1nuHE will be delivered
regularly from oyofy' train TINT now leavos
Chicago Sunday mornings, and every other morn
ing In the weel, and from every train that will
leays it i'll tho future. This being tho case, it III
quito unnecessary to print timo-tsbles or blow
about Especial trains." We promise, however,
that when re find space for this ChoAp- John
business. aud haVo no nows to give tho public,
no aaall choose something besidcs nilk-trains
and trains Of empty cara to talk about.

Tho loyal press haa awnhod to the impor-
