Berlin's Elevated RAILWAY.
From the Chicago Herald.1

lFrOm the CnlcaSO HerdlQ.J
But let me tell you OF the Stadbahn OF
city railway in Berlin. It's the most
perfect thing any city in the world ias.
Compared with this system of elevated
railroads there, those of New York look
like toys. The main line of this elevat-
ed railroad in Berlin traverses the city
through the entire length, and leads,
of course, through the principal busi-
ness streets. Then there is "guertel-
babn," which encircles the whole city,
as is the case in Paris. Now, the com
pap3 had to buy its entire right Of way,
a great many houses bad to be torn
down, and it had to construct the road
very substantially. Just imagine long
white wall extending all this length,
built very massively, and yet not
clumsily, the surface of which is prob
ably thirty feet broad. There are depots
at regular intervals, and these depots
are, every one of them, solid stone struc-
tires of very pretty design. Under
meath these iepots there is an arcade,
which is rented, and has been trans
formed in every instance into restau.
rant, beer garden, or store. It is de-
iciously cool and shady under these
arches, even on the hottest days. Gar
dens or small parks for public use are
generally connected with these places.
When you are seated there, and train
passes by right over your head, the ma
son work is so thick that one hears but
a low rumbling sound. I hardly think
this elevated line is profitable as yet,
but I believe the city has guaranteed
the company any loss, and as far as the
convenience of the public is concerned,
nothing more perfect could be i'm
agined.
Compare this with the Internal noise.
the everlasting smoke, the filth, and the
ungain]y sight which the New York ele'
vated roads occasion. "There are a
good many things that have struck me
as curious" continued the veteran jour-
nalist, "and one of these is the fact that
whereas wooden pavements have proved
such miserable failure in almost every
American city, and in Chicago in par
ticular, they have proved an immense
success in Berlin"

The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1883-01-12

The Herald OF yesterday contains
lengthy letter from Norfolk setting forth
the feasibility and prospects of direct cable
communication between that city and
Europe. The position that II would be
good move for the projectors OF the new
cable scheme, IN business point OF view,
as well ~ for the southern country, IL well
taken. Norfolk. Richmond. West Point,
aud Newport News are, by reason OF their
western and southern railroad connections.
fast becoming closely identified with the
largest commercial interests OF the South
and West, and their direct trade with
Europe is steadily increasing. They
are the natural points Of export and i'm
port for more than one half OF the area OF
the entire couxry-east Of the Rocky Noun
tains at least. They are approached by
easier grades and shorter distances from
all the great western trade-centers than
any other ports on the Atlantic seaboard,
and It stands TO reason that the telegraph
business would follow whatever trade
movement these advantages may develop.
Telegraphy--all things being equal-like
tonnage, will be apt to seek the most eXpe-
ditious route.

MIR. Kefley's Letter.

The subject has been very thoroughly
discussed by the press of the State, and
the slmost unanimous expression Of opin-
ion was in favor OF convention. In this
opinion the Indey-Appeat shared, though
1t did not favor the holding OF a convcn-
ton In mid-winter nor at such q time as
would interfere with farming operations.
nor at any other point than the capital OF
the State. The failure to hold conyen-
ton for the nomination OF q congressman
at large last year may have influenced our
judgment i'm the matter, as it probably did
many others who do not believe that Mr..
Massey could have been nominated by a
Democratic convention. 1t was to avoid
the repetition of what we considered fatal
mistake that we favored convention, ono
OF the practical purposes OF which would
have been TO insist that In the selection of
all candidates hereafter to be voted for by
the people at large of the State conyen-
ton OF their representatives, and not an
executive committee, should act. As to
other objects OF the convention, we relied
upon the intelligence and patriotism OF the
members to deal with all questions which
might arise, believing that they would
faithfully and honestly voice the will OF the
people.
Fer our own part, however, we cheeriully
acquiesce in Mir. Keiley's suggestion to
postpone the Convention until the time ar
riyes to prepare for the fall campaign. His
views ON this point impress LIS as forcible
and reasonable, and ought TO be accepted
by the party, with the understanding, how
ever, that we are to have convention be-
fore another state campaign Is entered
upon.-Petersbarq Index-Appedl.

The Senate vs.. The House.

jealousy Is inscparable from fallen human
nature. Therefore, Il IL not TO be expected
that congressman should be free from It's
potent influence. As matter of fact, the
two houses Of Congress watch each other
~ closely as the people of England guard
their liberties by watching their law
makers. The Senate is considered the
higher body OF the two. Therefore the
House Of Representatives il the more ieal-
Gus body, Just as the people Of England.
WHOSE form OF government Is not republi-
can, would revolt against laws and prac-
ticcs TO which the people Of the United
States, who have a republican form Of
government would submit without word
Of protest The House Of Representatives
won't even consider revenue bill which
originates IN the Senate, the United States
Constitution providing that call bills for
raising revenue shall originate In the House
OF Representatives"
Another source OF trouble between the
two houses has sometimes been found in
the fact that, according to the Federal Con-
stitution, the treaties ratified by the Sem
ate are sthe supreme law OF the land"
and these treaties sometimes provide for
the expenditure OF money or for the
changing or repeating of revenue laws.
The House OF Representatives claims the
right either TO appropriate, or to refuse to
appropriate, money which treaty binds
the country to pay. although the House of
Representatives has nothing to do with the
making or ratifying OF treaties, this latter
being the duty or privilege Of the Senate
alone.
Now, then, for the present occasion for
The rousing of jealousy on the part OF the
House OF Representatives. General GRANT,
Senior ROMERO, and others. have. 1t Is said,
already negotiated treaty between Mexico
and the United States in which 1t is pro-
vided that hemp, tobacco, and sugar as
well as all other tropical productions OF
Mexico, shall be admitted duty free into
this country. Now, here is clear case OF
senatorial assumption the House Of Repre-
.sentatives may say II the treaty shall be
ratified. The revenues OF the United States
will be reduced by the whole amount
Of money which would have been COZ
lected on or from the articles named
had they not been admitted duty free.
Will the laws of the United States laying
these duties be repealed by the action OF
the Senate in ratiiying the treaty-that is,
hg the action OF one body alone-or will it
be necessary for the House Of Representa-
fives to unite with the Senate in passing
BILL to be approved by the President of the
United States, for the repeal OF the tariff
laws so tar as those articles are concerned
before the same can be admitted free Of
