youngest, save one, Of all Tie new speak
ers. He is but thirty years OLD.
Youngest of all the new speakers is
Hon. William Sulzer, of the New York
house He is but twenty years old,
native and representative of New York
city, and has his history yet to make An
other promising young speaker is William
Aldrich Tateum, of the Michigan house.
He is thirty-two, native Of Massachu-
sets, was educated at Yale, lived ten
years in Chicago and represents Kent
county, being the first speaker Grand
Rapids has furnished. His political
strength was shown by his election as a
Republican in a Democratic district.
Still another is Hon. Thomas w. Ma

born in that state in March. 1862, and is

LoUIslANA's NEW SENATOR.

Sketch of the Career of Senator Gibson's
Successor, Hon. DOnelsOn Caffery.
Hon. Donelson Gallery, who has been
selected by Governor Murphy j. Foster
to serve out the unexpired term of the
late United States Senator Randall l..
Gibson, is affectionately known from one
end of Louisiana to the other by the title
of Don, which is but an abbreviation of
his "given" name.
Senator Caffery still owns the planta-
ton in st. Mary's parish, near Franklin
La, ON which he was born in 1886. His
father was engaged in sugar culture, and
he has followed it in part up to the pres
emit time. In fact, no man in Louisiana
has taken deeper interest in the devel-

er on race track, are now laboring to
regulate the conduct of some $4,000, 900
people in all the complicated concerns Of
business, domestic and fiduciary rela-
tions, morals and finance.
And it goes without saying that they
will make at least 1000 serious mistakes,
not to mention minor errors, and that
in the end the country will go on very
much as before, for the reason that the
great mass of mankind live on moral
basis above the law and try to do right
without asking what the statute directs.

opment of the states great staple than
Don Caffery. The central factory" idea
was started by him, and it is due to his
persistent agitation of the matter that it
has been adopted in several sections Of
the state. His services in this direction
have been recognized by the people Of
Franklin, who have named their mann
moth central factory for him.
Young Gallery received his prelimi-
nary education at st. Martinsville, La,
and was then sent to a well known edu-
cational institution in Baltimore. He
studied law after graduating and was
admitted to the bar, but did not prac-
tice, as he was engaged by his mother to
conduct sugar raising for her ON a plan
tation on Bayou Cypremont, near Cote
Blanche island, which she had inherited
from her family-the Murphys.
When the war broke out Mr. Caffery
joined the st. Mary volunteers at Cor
inth and participated in the battle of
Shiloh.
Mr.. Caffrey was married in 1869 to
Miss Bertha Richardson, member OF
one of the Oldest families in St. Mary
parish. Nine children have resulted
from the union.
Outside Of district court clerkshiI
Mr.. Gallery had never held any Office
until 1879, when he was elected a mem
Der of the constitutional convention, in
the deliberations of which he took d
prominent part. Since then he has been
one of the foremost political figures OF
Louisiana, and in 1891 he was elected tC
the state senate, where he was soon rec
ognized as one of the ablest and most
influential members.

speaker The states in which there was
no serious contest are North Carolina,
Arkansas and West Virginia.
In the north the same may be said of
Maine, where Hon. Albert r. Savage, of
Auburn, jurist Of some eminence, has
been chosen speaker; of Minnesota, Hon.
w. E. Lee, of Todd, speaker, and of two
or three other states where the election
was so placid as to attract no attention.
1t is in the remote west, however-the
wild and woolly west" of romance
that legislative politics is picturesque,
not to say lurid. The most remarkable
spectacle, in one view of it, was present
ed in Washington, where the Democrats
in caucus abandoned whatever claims
they might have had, and ''just to expe-
dite business voted for Mr.. Arrasmith
Populist leader, who was thereby
chosen speaker at once. Their action,
however, is supposed to have been in
pursuance of some very deep strategy in
relation to the election of a United States
senator.

UNDERGROUND RAILWAYS.
How Berlin Proposes to Solve the Problem
of Rapid Transit.

of Rapid Transit.
Railroads on the surface, railroads in
the air and railroads underground have
been tried in the great cities, and their
relative advantages are still hOtly dis
puted by engineers and the public. New
York and Brooklyn are completely
mashed" on their elevated roads. All
they want is an improvement of the sys-
tenn to permit of more trains at the busy
hours and one more road to supply
rapid transit from the city hall region
straight to the north end Of the city.
London seems to be equally well salts
fed with her wonderful underground
system, and now Berlin has declared her
intention to abolish surface tracks and
put all the lines under ground.
In truth, the conditions are different.
The trolley and electric motor systems
would not do at all in the busy sections
of Berlin or New York, and the London
omnibuses on Broadway or Park row
would be simply ridiculous. Even in
the German capital with its placid,
home loving and phlegmatic people, there
were counted within sixteen hours on
the corner of Friedrich strasse and Inter
den Linden 120,016 foot passengers and
13,479 vehicles, and on the Potsdamer-
platz 81, 200 foot passengers and II, 1853
vehicles. Every year social philosophers
protest against the mad rush of people
to the cities" and every year the rush is
greater.
The Berlin electric company intimates
that the necessary tunnels will cost
1912 500 per mile, as under the city at
depth of from ten to twenty feet has al
ready been constructed a great labyrinth
of gas and sewer pipes and telegraph
and telephone wires, while the bed of a
broad and deep river would appear to be
an insuperable obstacle But London
has overcome almost equal obstacles,
and since November, 1890, electric mo-
tors have been introduced in that part
of the tunnel which connects the city
with the southern suburbs. The result
exceeded the most sanguine expecta-
lions. All the difficulties which the steam
engines produced were removed at once
by this change.
An additional difficulty in Berlin, how
ever, is that the citizens will not submit
to have the streets torn up even tempo
rarily, and so new system Of tunneling
must be adopted. Railroad Director
Mackinson has recently invented a ma
chine especially for this kind Of work,
which is considered a marvellous success.
AS far as the unscientific mind can COM
prehend his system, it seems to consist
mainly of driving each separate section
of the tunnel forward into the earth.

The first duty Of all those legislatorsis to
Organize, and in at least five states they
seem to be getting themselves into or
ganic form with more than the usual
throes of political parturition. The most
important officer, of course, is the speaker
Of the house, for in every constitution
derived from that of Great Britain the
lower house, or popular branch, is the
money power, and the speaker appoints
the committees. OF course he is sup
posed to do it ''by advice" but by whose
advice is question not yet settled.
Though there have been fifty-two con-
crosses under the constitution there have
been but thirty-two speakers, which is
explained by the fact that such men as

plies to Nebraska, where J. n. Gafin,
of Saunders county, Populist, is speaker,
and to Wyoming, where a Mr.. Tidball

have thought it worth while to give his

not in it for comparison. In the last
twenty years the speaker has more than
once prevented legislation which large
majority of the house wanted.
In the state legislature the speaker is
not quite SO autocratic, but owing to an
unusual combination of circumstances
this year has witnessed several extraor-
binary struggles for the place. Many
entirely new men have come in; many
of the old ones are very picturesque fig
ures, and for the first time the legislative
gavel is welded by man born since
the siege of Sumter! 1t is truly his

member for four years, but this is his
first term as speaker. In Massachusetts
a still more spirited contest between the
Republicans of the old regime and the
