The spproach of summer natorally turns tha thoughts of dwellers in towzs o the pleas. ant freshness and pure air of ths country. Whena ‘warm sunshine and clear ekies make glad tho face of Nature, and in-door life is tolerable na farther than it is necessary, a country residence presents manifold attractions over city life, and %0 the establishment of settled warm weather is slways the signal for an esodus to the suburbs. ‘When the hot sun of summer bakes into volatile dnsc the streets through which traffic wearis somély foils, the coolness snd greennees of the country afford sn attractive contrast. When eure and rapid transit places city and couniry mn immediste communicatior, the advantages which the former may offer ia the way of entertainment or amusement ave open to the Iatter, whils it gtill retains its own peculiar sttractions, This combination of ad-+ vantsges is 8o great that, althongh the summar brings with it an incresse of country residenis which i in alarge degree only tramsient, yet & stimolusis administered which results in a- steady,and permanent growth. The increass of trade and commerce in & city exerts a centrifugal energy upan dwelling places. The development of business confars a value on property possezs- ing commercial utilty that renders it too costly fordwelling purposes, evem did not the sure roundings of traffic make it undesirable. Hence in alllarge cities long distances soon intervene between the sections eligibls for private resi- dence and the business centre. Tt is endent that the length of the distance i ‘mainly of mmportance only as affects ) 80 it only requires ready, sure, and rapi® transit to bring the suburba of a city a2 e and even cloger to the basiness centre than tho outlying portions of the city itself. _For nely all practical purposes Hyde Perk ia closer.to Madison and State streets nun Bridgeport. The railroads possess some obvious sdvantages over the street-cars. The latter sro at best an awk- ward and ucomfortable modeof transportation. At no time can one count on a continuous seat, and tha cool incivility of the Chicago woman iritates one at having to make an exercite of self-denial that is not requited by courteous scknowledgment. At thehours when persons are goingto thair homes, passengers are packed together like sar- dines ina box. The caraseem asif bursting with thair contents, even hanging-on room on the platforms being scarce. no other coan- this would sucha barbarous mode of transportation be tolerated ; and, notwitbstandinz the devil of norest and impaticace that impels an American to tolerate anything w onler to go ahead without delay, the discomfortis 60 great taat the street-car ride is the day’s droad. 1f ona lives at any distance, the infliction is protractod. for & weary length of time, aud is agrravated by the fact that during its continuaace there is uo opportusity for use of means of solsce or diver~ sion. The superior ability of steam transit is such that,saa rule, thnemmmuent accom- ‘modatiocs for all passengers, aud one's newspa-' per or cigar can afford entertainment while tha train traverses miles of distance, and srxives at the subnrban towns before the jaded horcos of the street-cars have reached the remota soctions of thacity. The resources of well-mansged rail-, roads aro 80 capacious that the most violent' siress of the weather very rarely occasions more than s temporary delay, and in this respect thoy aze quite a3 efficient ae the streot-cars, whils in periods of ordinary inclemency the comfort of their accommodations is incomparably greater. The chief. and pmhtbly the only, deficiency of steam transit, is that THE YREQUENCY OF COMMTSICATION isnot yet sufficient to accommodato ail clasees, and the economy of the service has cot yet been ‘brought to such a point that it can compets in. cheapness with the horse-railways of the eity. Chicsgo_is unique among Citles for the ex- pansive” characterof its populstion. Thers ie probably no other city of its number of inhabit- ants that spreada over sucha large extent of torritory. Tho compactnees of living character- istia of Naw York and other Esstern rities would be fullof intolerable friction. to Chicagoans. As long as there is room ou the prairia there will no tenement-houses with their swarms of life. This popalar charac- teristic, stimulated and direeted by the energy of our real-estata men, has been the caussof a suburban growth remarkeble in 50 Young s city, and which has so Iargs an extent of unoccupied territory within its limits. _The dozen reilways which radiate from the eity in all ‘directions ara almost all of them CLUSTERED WITH SUSUEBAN SETTLEMENTS. Eligible points are quickly settlad upon by jas provement companies, and the natoral adran- tages snhanced and the defects remedied by art. The suburban sottlements that have sprung op within the l:st five years can be num- bered by the dozem, mnor i3 thers any indication um !!xeu'm is tracsient. The in- crease of railway accommodations and tha maintenanes of low rates. the growth of suburb- an society. and the facility with whick city amusements can be reached, sasure s steadyand beahhy development. <., Ths failare of this cor ityzovernment, and the facility with whica the ignorant snd vicious classes direct tho machigery of politics to their own ends, éreate a sicadily proportiou- ate increase in the cost of city 1ifs that wm rive suburban places of residence an advantage in point of dzunnass that will powerfully cou- tribute to their “growth irrespective of sthor reasons for piaference. 1Itis, therefore, evident that the future of ths suburbsn growth of Chicago turns mainly upon THE ABILITY AXD wmunm OF OUR RaIL~ tompp m{mdnpldmdtnmdsnh Knof the roads evince a willingness o eommuu their regular rates in order to foster this branch of therr traffic, and a number of them de a large and flourithing busicess.
