An article in q German newspaper makes
known, by carefully selected statistics, the great
increase that has taken place of late years in
most European countries in the consumption Of
articles of food and drink which our grand
fathers regarded us luxuries. In Prussia the
yearly consumption Of meat per head had ad-
yanced from 33 pounds in 1906 to 10 pounds in
1849, brandy had grown from quarts to 8, and
wine from u quart to quarts The increase in
and in coffee from % pound to pounds. These
figures do not bring us to the latest
times, but the increase has been even
in greater ratio during the years
since 1849. Thus, kolb estimates the total con-
sumption of sugar per head of the population in
the area of the zollverein for the year 1860 at
7.37 b., and in the year 1864 it had advanced to
9.23 ib. The annual consumption of the popula-
tion Of London is given, on the authority Of the
Economist, as follows In the year 1S43, sugar,
1854 H.; tea, lat 1b.; cocoa, 009 tb.; wine, 622
gallon spirits, 0.87 gallon. In the year 1865,
sugar, 417 H.; tea, 3.26 H.; cocoa, LA b wine,
0.40 gallon; spirits, 0.89 gallon. The sugar con-
sumption Of France per head is IL ki1ogrammes,
that Of Prussia, 3.75; Austria, 2.46 Russia.
IL :; Holland, 7.03; Belgium, 4.06 =; while Eng
land stands at 1888 ki1ogrammes. It is the same
with tea. England also uses aboye half as much
silk as the whole Of the rest OF Europe.

The following petition was presented to the
City Council Of Hartford, Conn, on Tuesday
night:
To the Honorable Board Of Common, Council:
resident Of this city, being somewhat troubled
With near-sightedness, especially after dark, and
at the present time, owing to poor gas, or an in.
sufficient supply Of the same, not being able te
take the necessary steps to keep out Of the mud,
would respectfully petition, III order that him
SELF as well as others troubled with similar in
trinity, may be able to ascertain the location OF
the .gas-lghts, which often prove stumbling
blocks in the way Of pedestrians, that the lamp.
posts may be painted white, SO that more Light
may be thrown on the subject, and short-sightee
citizens may be able to avoid them, and. in
stead Of swearing, your petitioner will ever, Lay
(for better gas). Respectfully,

twenty tons to the square inch, and has thus
driven forth the atmospheric particles, the
presence Of which would Otherwise diminish the
stability Of the gun. This e1pedient must, ap-
parently, greatly increase the efficiency Of bat
teries in the field. The advantages Of the supe-
riority Of range are probably Of much less mo-
ment, however, than those Of tho superiority Of
endurance and the economy of the charge. Ar
tllery at great distances notoriously does little
mischief, and unless from great heights, or from

Sir Joseph's invention on this score is unlikely
to be Of exceptional service.

Review of the Money, Bond, Stock,
Gold, and Produce Markets.
Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune.
NEW YORK, Nov. 4-An the Wall street
markets, except gold, we're dull to-day, owing to
political stir. The gold market has been ex-
coptionally active, the featu1e having been the
artificial scarcity OF cash gold, which cost bor-
rowers as high as X per cent for to-day's de-
iveries. On Friday aud Saturday last immense
speculative sales we're made apparently by firms
which have the reputation OF being in close re-
lations with the Treasury at Washington. The
large holders OF gold, notably one Of the Canada
banks, took advantage Of the oversold condition
Of the market, and compelled borrowers to pay
to-day's e1orbitant rates.
Owing to the gold operations, money was
stringent at currency to z gold, but, just before
the close Of bank hours, brokers' balances we're
lent as low as per cent. The closing quotation
was to 7. Prime business paper is still quoted
at 10 to II.

scarce; choice family very strong. There was q
hrmar feeling in wheat, but the demand Was mod

market closes quiet and tame; shippers hold of.
Winter firm. Pork steady and moderately ac-
tive. Moderate trade in cut meats bacon active

as have been baptized on profession Of their

observed BY Christian churches only.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 4.-The Republicans
closed the campaign with dreary and dismal
meeting tonight, at which only two hun

all local, and not over-bri11iant. A Greeley
man asked respectful question, and
was hurled out by the police. A call
was then made for the Greeley men to leave,
and two-thirds OF the audience retired, cheering
for Greeley. The office-ho1ders have spent

Proportional Representation.

With all Difference to the Columbia Pho.
MIA, we beg to say that We shall not cease
our efforts to prevail upon the present Leg
islature to adopt the 'tgood and just govern
"mental principle Of Minority Representa-
ton. We have double task to perform,
viz: to punish the public robbers who hold
high carnival at the capital, and to prevent
stealing and insure better government in
the future. The simple expulsion OF Scott q
Co. may only end in turning the State
over to new set Of plunderers, who will
begin the alphabet Of crime from the begin
ming at our expense But the conviction OF
the criminals, coupled with q law which BE-
cures proportional representation to the
white minority, will afford q reasonable
hope that robbery in the future may be sub
stantiany impracticable. We hold, there
fore, that in pushing the question OF Minority
Representation we are keeping to the point.
and may beloOking little further ahead
than our doughty neighbor. whose good
work, be it understood, We appreciate and
applaud.

viii q War with Spain Pay

The New York Bulletin has a sensible article,
in which 1t deprecates, on the score OF ma
tlonal weakness In our navy, and the certain
injury TO our commerce, the idea Of wal
with Spain. 1t argues that our iron-clads are,
for the most part, coDfessedly useless, and
while new ones were being built, all the
American ports could be virtually sealed up,
that of New York included, and our remain-
Ing foreign commerce swept from the sea-
Besides this, we have an important Spanish.
American trade, amounting to sl7O, ,oOo, 900 a
year, which would be necessarily wiped out
by the superior Spanish cruisers. All these
damaging results would be Independent Of the
Increase of taxation and the depreciation Of
American credit by further necessary additions
to the existing debt. Our chief hope now
should be that Spain may not lake II Into her
antiquated head to push us to extremiaes, and
avail herself of the ruinous condition OF ouI
naval service.

An Important Railroad Link-Charles-
ton and Columbus, Ga.

The City OF Columbus, Ga, which receiv'
ed in one year before the war l2O, OOe oales
of cotton, and proudly boasted Of being the
metropolis OF Western Georgia and Eastern
Alabama, has had more than its share OF
commercial difficulties to overcome during
the last few years. A graspipg corporation
had taken possession OF every line Of trans
portation leading from its limits, Qncluding
even the navigation Of the Flint River,) and,
with an anaconda like pressure, was slowly
squeezing the commercial life from Its victim.
But this was not to last. The citizens OF
Columbus have taken the matter in hand,
and, with commendable enterprise, have
organized railroad company, styled the
North and South OF Georgia. Within few
months, with an energy which shows their
earnestness In the matter, they have COM:
pleted the grading and other subsLructure
for twenty miles, extending northward from
Columbus, and southwark from La Grange.
At the latter point they will intersect the
Georgia Railroad line, which will atior d to
Columbus shippers an expeditions and
cheap outlet, via Augusta, to Charleston,
once their favorite market. Charleston will
naturally receive and may confidently ex-
pect large share OF the Columbus business,
and this share will be greatly increased by
the indignation Of the Columbus merchants
against the unjust and selfish policy
which has for years made their important
city a mere way station. We congratulate
our old friends and former customers upon
their promised emancipation from 30 exact
Ing q monopoly, and assure them that
Charleston is impatiently watching for their
disenthralment. In this our interests are
linked with our sympathies, for we fully ap-
preciate the generous business which must
flow to US over the new North and South
Road, thereby giving increased employment
to our railroads, merchants, draymen, ships,
and every department Of commerce. In scan
ming the map, we have often wondered why
the construction Of this important link has
been so long delayed, as itnot only gives
Columbus an advantageous outlet Tor It's
cotton, but opens most salutary and desira-
BILE competition to the Western markets.
