and the public have confidence sufficient
III the company to feel entirely disposed
to leave the management of the affairs
OF the company entirely in the hands of
the company. If the Executive Coun-
Gil, however, shall be disposed to regard
it as their duty to enforce the law fully
against the Sioux City and st. Paul,
there will lie no other recourse for the
company than to draw off it's present
ample accommodations, not 4 whit in
ferior to amy Class \ road in the State,
and substitute such rs it can afford at

been doing more than it could afford to
do, with view Of developing the coun-

ton of the West, of opening up Il new
line of commerce, ETC., and thus, in
course of time reap the reward of
it's enterprise. 1t has laborrd under Sc

sued the following circular. This was
ut first supposed to refer to the rates

Bishop in a letter to the st. Paul Press
explains that the circular has reference
to the Iowa end Of the line. The Iowa
railroad law allows but four cents per
mile as the passenger rate. The Com
