Tho Now York Herald Of ]ast Monday points
with cxcusabIc satisfaction to tho fact that its
previous Sunday issue contained llfty-four col
urnns Of advertising, which WAS IN increase Of
ton columns over TINT OF tho Sunday before.
Tho Sunday Issue OF THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE Of
the samo date contained thirty-oight columns of
advertising, oqual in amount Of Bpace to forty
four columns OF tho Herald. New York md its
suburbs contain at least four times aa many
people as Chicago md its suburbs, whilo there
arc only ten columns, or about ono.lfth, moro
advertising III the Now York Herald than in
The CHICAGO TRIBUNE. The Herald says: "Wo
anticipato that Il quadruple sheet Of tho Herald
will become uocossity with us tluring the COM
lug season Of spring." 4 quadruplo sheet OF
Tna TRIBUNE has boon o necessity every Sunday
during tho wintor. The corresponding sunday
Issue OF The TRIBUNE ono year ago, III what WAS
regarded as good times, contained five columns
less advertising than last Sunday'B issue. Tho
Herald points to its mnsa Of advertising as an
indication Of the return Of prosperous times i'll
Now York. On this basis, tho advertising Of
THE TRIBUNE furnishes conclusive evidence that
prosperous times hnve niready returned to Chi
cago. Senator Logan to the contrary notwith-
