and buses. but here there is water
everywhere. The highways are canals
and You glide along in gondolas instead
of riding over macadamized roads. This
is an ancient and celebrated city, con-
tanning many beautiful buildings and
some rare art treasures
St Marks, which was begun in 800
and finished in 1911, is a remarkable
building, Is viii be seen from this SIM
pie fact that it has, in and out, 500 col
umns and 1900 feet of mosaic pictures
Of tho most exquisite character. There
10 no paint anywhere; nothing but mar
bic and mosaic. The latter, it is said,
WIS 800 years in being finished. Each
generation added its contribution to the
work, and the result certainly is most
striking. The grand altar is sup
ported by alabaster columns, said to be
brought from the Temple OF Solomon.
These columns are remarkable for their
purity. There are many others brought.
from the mosques of Constantinople.
The facade is Venetian Gothic, sur
rounded by the four celebrated horses
brought from Nero's Temble, as Rome.
The Grand Square is the busiest spot in
al Venice. Arcades run the whole
length on three sides, and are filled
with fancy shops, cafes. etc. It is the
fashionable promenade.
The Doge' palace occupies nearly one
whole side Of the square. 1t is in red
and white marble, Venetian Gothic
style, resting on thirty-six columns. I

meets Old and New Venice. At the
end Of the bridge, on the old side,
j. the square devoted to the
money changers. and, appropriately
enough, in the immediate neighborhood
is the iron-barred house Of Shylock.
Among other features of interest are
the Church of St John and St

LONG AND SHORT HAUL.

1t is not proposed In the Interstate
Commerce bill to forbid the railway
companies from charging more per
mile for short haul than for q long
one. 1t is but right that less rates per
mile should prevail over long distances
than over short ones. People expect
to buy at wholesale for less than ut re-
tail. The long and short of the long
and short haul provision is just this,
and nothing more. No railroad COM
pany or combination Of companies
shall charge more dollars for carrying
a ton of freight half the distance be.
tween two points than is charged for
carrying the same ton of freight the
whole distance.
The general public have no idea that
such n law is necessary but they pay
for the bold extortion in all they con-
sumo on which freight has been thus
charged. The corporations would not
kick so If they were not doing what is
forbidden. AS much as $500 car
load has been charged for freight to
Nevada from the East, when the
freight on the same through to Sacra-
mento from the same point at the East
was only $780,

him explain why 1t is worth $500 car
