St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1895-06-10
THIS IS UNFAIR

on the face of it, and shows a lack Of
interest in the welfare Of st. Paul on
the part of the railroads.
To the South the accommodate tions
are equally poor, if not worse than
to the North. The Minneapolis & ST.
Louis, which runs to Mankato, Wa
seca, Albert Lea and through the farm
ing district of Northern Iowa down
to ST. Louis, does not leave st. Paul
until $50 a. m. This is too late. 1t
does not reach the main farming dis
trict until afternoon, when it is prac-
tically too late for the farmers to
take advantage of quotations fur
nished them by the morning papers of
st. Paul. The Burlington leaves at
$50 a. M, but it Is slow train, and
does not run on Sunday The limited
does not leave until D. m. The
Burlington system touches more cities
and towns from st. Paul to Omaha,
Kansas City and ST. Louis than any
other railroad running through the
same district, and it would surely pay
to run daily fast mail, leaving here
at 6 or 80 a. M
The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railway to Kansas City over the He'd
rick route covers the same section of
country and runs daily train, leav-
ing st. Paul at 8:25 a. m. This is not
limited, however, and does not reach
Austin, Mimi, until 12:45 p. m. This
is pretty slow time for mail and the
morning papers. On the Hastings &
Dakota division of the Milwaukee
the only morning train leaves at S:2t
and only runs as far as Milbank. This
does not reach the farming district
until afternoon, and does not run at
all on Sundays.
To the east there are only two morn
ing trains, one on the Milwaukee.
leaving here at sos and arriving at
Milwaukee at 7:10 p. M, and at Chi
cago at 9:45. The Northwestern to
Chicago leaves at $40. 1t could just
as well leave at $50 and make faster
time.
To the west there are no accommo-
dations at all, the only morning train
being a Great Northern, which leaves
at $50 a. M, and only runs to Fargo.
Express trains to the West over the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
do not leave st. Paul until after A
o'clock. AS before stated, there is not
a single so-called limited or fast mail
train leaving st. Paul before 2:15 o.
m. Now it is just as important that
the st. Paul morning papers should
have quick delivery to the North,
South and West as it is for the Chi
cago papers to reach their customers.
st. Paul is
THE HEAD AND CENTER
of large agricultural and CONNER
cial district, and the business men
and farmers in the district are guided
by the information conveyed to them
by the St.Paul morning papers There
fore it is extremely important that
they should have the advantage of
an early delivery.
The fast mail from the East ar
rives in Chicago at II :59 p. M, and
allowing for all transfers, it should
leave there for the West not later
than Ills a. m. But in order that the
Chicago morning dailies may be.
served the fast mail does not leave
Chicago till a. M, thus delaying the
government service two hours longer
than is necessary. This shows dis
elimination on the part OF the gov
ernment rather than the railroads In
favor of Chicago.
There is not railroad running into
st. Paul that does not have either
general or division headquarters here,
and they are ably supported by
the people and the press of ST. Paul.
The st. Paul papers are as important
