What Has lie Done.

We will give "pretty thing" to any ram.
pant Douglas man who will point us to sin-
Gle act Of any consequence performed by
Douglas during the session OF Congress just
closed. Take any question Of Importance to
the people, upon which an issue can be made,
and upon which first class statesman ought
to occupy firm, open, unequ,ocal stand,
and show where Douglas has spoken or voted
for or against it. He has kept mum, with AN
eye single to the Presidency.
Wien the Seuate Committees were being
reconstructed in such manner, and for such
a purpose, that any Senator with a spark Of
manlincss, Independence or dignity would
have been there, and made himself heard
in other words, when the Senate was heaping
insult and indignity upon Douglas-where
was he? lie had the oieurjSO.

Of Representatives but IN 1860, they will
have one-fourth Of the House. In 1900 New
England, New York, New Jersey and Penn
syvania had 81 Representatives. In 1860
they will have SO. Delaware, Maryand.
Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia, iu 1900

but 81. IN 1900 Kentucky, Tennessee, Ala

sas and Texas bad but Representatives. In
1850, the number will have increased to 49,
OHIO, Inli'ua, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin,,
Iowa, Minnesota, aud Missouri, had not n
Representative in 1900. In 1860, they will
have 73, only 10 short of the OLD North, and

Tobacco Statistics.

The Dean Of Charlsle has recently deliver.
ed 4 lecture in England, upen the subject Of
Tobacco, from which we gather some interest.
ing statistical information concerning the use
Of the weed in that and other countries.
In 1856, thirty-three millions of pounds o:
tobacco were consumed in England, at an ex.
pensc of GS0o,000, 10 say nothing of vast
qualities sHugg-d htp the country. There
is II steady lucr' asn upon tnI> cousnmption,
far exceeding the cotemporanoou~ increase ot
population. In 1921, the acreage was | | 20
oz. per head per anum; in 1851, 1t bad risen
10 1896, and in 1853, to 10 oz. or at least
the rate OF one one fourth increase in ten
years.
There are II CITY brokers in London. ex.
prcssly devoted to tobacco sales, 90 msputsc-
turers, $3.50 tohaccyshops; 1880 worklu"n
engaged in the diff tent branches of the husi-
nos-; and no less than 252 ;Oi3 tonacco-shupS
in the United Kingdom. And ii we turn IT,
the continental, the consumption aud expen
diture assumes PR portions perfectly gigantic.
In France much more is consumed in p,opor
ton to the popuIa'ion than in Englard -
The Emperor clears 100000 francs anu

In tie city of Htnlurgh 10000 cigars are

many of them women AMI cir! iIau. ara eng,.

gars are supplied annually; u printing (ro,s
is entirely occupied in printing labels for the
boxes Of cigars DC: and the business EN-
ploys 100000.
In Denmark the annual consumption reach.
es the enormous average OF 20 ounces per
head of the whole population; and in Belgi
um even more-to 73 ounces, or 3-5 pounds
per head.
1t is calculated that the entire world Of
smokers, snuifers and chewers, consume g.
100000 Of tons Of tobacco annually, or L..
4s0,000,000 Of pounds weight,-as much in
tonnage as the corn consumed by 10000, 900
Englshmen, and actually at a cost ufficient
to pay for all the broad-corn in Great Britain.
Five and a half millions Of acres are occupied
in Its growth the produce of which, at two
pence per pound, would yield f37,OOO,oOO
