Is what George II. Daniels, general pas
senger agent of the New y ork Central rail
way, enthusiastically calls the metropolis
of the great lakes in an article in the Chicago
Sunday Tribune. The wealth and glory
of the Italian city, when at the height of
its fame were the product of the combined
efforts of the Florentine guilds and assoca-
tions, embracing all classes and all inter-
ests of the people and all working to a
common end-the upbuilding of the city.
In the very same spirit, said Mr.. Daniels,
have the people of Chicago wrought to-
gether, combining all their interests toward
one great consummation. No other city on
the globe could be so truthfully used for
such an illustration. ~ ask of any one
who doubts this statement where is there
another city that in G0years has construct
ed such a magnificent system of parks as
Chicago? Where is there another city that
has undertaken such a stupendous and
comprehensive work as the Chicago drain
age canal? Where is there another city
that in less than % years from its practical
destruction from the greatest contlagration
of which history furnishes any record has
been rebuilt upon a scale of magnifcence
that astonishes the world and awakens
