Carl SchurZ has written q letter TO Prof
Bryce upon the double working of the cham
bers of legislation in America. Sehurz says
popular judgment is right in regarding a
double chamber as necessary
part of the American political
institutions. ANY proposal TO abolish these
legislative bodies would End no considera-
ton in the United States. The Americans
are justly proud of their senate, which does
not represent any privileged class or any
separate interests, but is extremely useful
as part Of the American legislative ma
chinery. A letter from Sehurz on the topic
arose from reference by Prof Bryce asking
him If he considered it advisable for England
TO continue the house of lords as a legisla-
tive body.
