The article presents information on various political and economic developments in the U.S. The question of railway power, and methods and effects of its exercise, continues to force itself upon the public consideration. The Legislature of the State of New York was petitioned last February by the Chamber of Commerce of this city to investigate a number of charges against certain companies, which were set forth in the memorial with more distinctness than such charges usually are. U.S. statesman W.D. Kelley's visit to Germany has been most opportune. He was sure of a cordial reception as a representative of the Pennsylvania school of political economists, which is now in high favor with the German Government and the German Diet and he has actually had the honor of being referred to by a deputy in the Reichstag as a leading American statesman.
