LANCASHIRE SURPRISED.
Enthusiastic admiration for the municipal enterprise of Duesseldorf was expressed recently by the party of Manchester and Salford aldermen and councillors who arc touring in North Germany (says a correspondent of a London journal). The guests examined the labour exchanges, which obtain employment for forty thousand men a year, the model electric, gas, and wafer works, the municipal theatre, tramway system, zoological gardens, and schools. These institutions I heard described as a "revelation to Lancashire." " * The party has been welcomed with unprecedented heartiness. Speaking at a banquet, the British Consul-General referred to the "excellent and friendly relations between the British and German commercial industrial worlds."
