Now, the judges of the supreme
court, II the case ever comes before

Made Nearer NeighbOrs By the Reduction of
Running Time Over the
ST. PAUL AND UNION PACIFIC
RAILWAYS.
The New Schedule Marks an Important Epoch
in Passenger Traffic.
of S2975 to
Fixed by the Chicago, Milwaukee Paul

Great railway lines have for several
years We'd with each other in reducing
the running time between Chicago and
Denver, but it remained for the Chi
cago, Milwaukee ana St. Paul, by an
arrangement with the Union Pacific,
to score the greatest triumph of all,
namely: to make the run between the
cities named considerably over 1000
miles at a rate of about 40 miles an
hour for the entire distance.
Under the new schedule that has
been prepared, the Overland Limited
Train, operated jointly by the Union
Pacific and the ST. Paul, reduces the
time between the two cities from TWEEN
tyeight hours and forty minutes to
twentysix hours. East-bound time
eliminates three full hours from the
schedule between Denver and Chicago.
AS one of the daily newspapers of
Chicago recently said, this reduction

"Hear by year the contention and
feeling between Democrat and Repub-
lican Is lessening. Never, since the
long and vigorous strife between
these two leading parties began, has
this state Of affairs been so apparent
IN NJ the present time. Party feeling
Is being supplanted by II due consid-
Grafton for patriotic and humane
principles. Such condition Is the
main safeguard OF our republic. All
honor to an intelligent citizenship"
The above words are quoted from
The Mineral Point Tribune, u news
paper which all It's long life has been
intensely partisan. They are good
words and true words; and The Demo
crat hopes that neighbors Bennett will
make them good by the deed. May we
hope to find the Tribune supporting, in
this spirit Of patriotic non-partisan-
ship, the good state ticket which will be
nominated by free and untrammeled
Democratic convention ut Oshkosh on
August 81? The election OF that ticket
will bring war Of the factions to close
and best subserve the interests of the
state, But perhaps this Is not the
kind OF non-partisan patriotism that
the Tribune men have In mind. 1t
may be that they are only trying to
cajole Democrats into voting for Gov.
LaFollette and the other candidates
nominated by the stranglehold at the
Gymnasium convention.
