MR. EDITOR, - In the forcible language attributed to a distinguished son of the Empire State “Our suffering is intolerable.” In the third time this week under the new arrangement for the running of the trains between Chicago and Burlington, we are without the mail which we should receive at 12:30 p. m. Passengers are now able, barring accidents, to depend with considerable certainty, weather permitting on reaching Burlington in 24 hours after leaving Chicago. Should not the Citizens of Burlington in some public manner testify their appreciation of the kind consideration of the managers of this Railroad in operating the west end of the P. & O. as a branch of the C. B. & Q. to be run when it suits their convenience?
Seriously, Mr. Editor, isn’t it a shame that such an utter disregard of the interests of this city as is continually exhibited in the management of this road should be tolerated by her citizens?
H.
