The Levy Court took the frst step
Tuesday toward the building Of a bridge
across thy Brandywine at Washington
street, by the Appropriation of $4,000,
on condition that the city will Appropriate
like sum for laying water pipes across
there. There will be no difficulty about
this, we presume, as the city has
long been deslous of introducing
the Braudywiue water moth o.
the Brsndywlne, and was long ago au-
thorized to raise mouey for that pur-
pose. The new bridge will be the right
place for it to cross, as Market street
bridge cannot last many years longer.
Any bridge built At Washington street
should spau the whole valley there, and
will cost great deal more than $4,000
but the appropriation will probably build
the abutments, aud the work once started
it will never BIZ allowed to stop till the
work is completed, for il is an absolute
public necessity. A tine iron bridge
there will be sn ornament as well as 4
convenience, aud carried from cliff to
rllh will not interfere with the park

All Roads Don't Lead to Rome


The New York Times recently devoted
considerable space editorlally, to consid-
ing the new Pennsylvania and Delaware
Railroad. II concluded its article as fol-
lows:
It is only a short time since the remark
that no matter where a railroad starts
from, in any part Of the United States,
1t runs to New York, was as nearly
literally true as such a statement could
be well conceived to be under any cir
cumstances. At the present moment II
lie, perhaps, as true as it ever was. Will
It be so five years hence Some things
look like 1t. Others look the other way
The little railroad of which we are speak
ing Is one of the latter kind. To be sure,
IL Is only straw but the proyerb,
"straws show which way the wind
blows" comes In here so naturally that
we trust our readers will excuse the triLe
ness Of The quotation. And il should be
recoliecled that although this may be a
straw, the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany Is not straF. II 1t Is anything of
that nature 1t is u pretty big sheaf, to say
the least of II. At all events, the main
idea contained IN the remark about rail-
roads which we have mentioned is capa.
BILE Of being carried so far as to produce
by no means favorable effects upon our
business. There Is a feeling of security
sometimes prompted by such aphorlsms,
which may eventually show itself to have
been far more pleasant than profitable.
The communication between the nayi-
gable waters Of Delaware and tue great
West is becoming every day more and
more intimate, and tue foreign trade,
which al present appears TO be 50 rapidly
growing up on that river, small as Ii still
is compared with that Of this port, Is !
thing Which should at least sue gest 10 US
the question whether weare not in danger
OF INDUCING q degree Of confidence In
our own position which may iu the end
prove far from beueicial 10 our CONNER
cial prosperity.
