NATIONAL CKOUTH,

The natural topic of the census year Is the
growth and greatness OF the country. Guilt
waited Americans became convinced twenty
years ago or more that the disposition to gloriy
this country and to boast Of its progress was
carried too far for reason and reacted to the
disadvantage of the Nation. But times have
changed, and with them the temper Of mon.
Of late years the prevailing disposition among
the cultivated classes IN this country has been
10 disparagc and belittlc American progress.
to hold always in mind the age and grandeur,
the historic splcndor and literary and artistic
development of the Old World, and 10 ignore
the real superiority Of this country in many
important respects
Statesmen and thinkers, the ahlcst and tho
most honored in the Old World, have not given
cDlIntcnancc to this error. Mr. Gladstone,
foremost Of living English statesmen. has bor-
traycd the progress Of the United States, in
character as well ~ material wealth. In terms
which must Sccm almost prOfane and shocking
to tho Anglomariacs of to-day. Mr.. Gifrcn.
president of the British Statistical Society, and
Mr.. Mulhnll, most noted compiler of st:tis-
tics, have informed the British public that the
growth OF wealth in this country far exceeds
thut UI any OtncT NdlHU. lFlHfc DiSI1dTCk III
his usual cunt fashion has made known his
appreciation of American grandeur. But the
little American dudes who worship only that
which is $50 English you know" have not
brains enough to comprehend that progress
which tho greatest men of Europe admire.
4 few facts come to hand already, in illus
tration of the Nations progress, some OF which
were presented in discussing the relative con-
sumption of different nations. The American
eats twice as much grain and more than twice
as much meat as the European, and in still
greater ratio is hotter fed than the inhabitant,
Of other parts of the world. lie consumes
about thnd of the whole worlds materials
for building, manufacture. and the application
Of natural forces to human use. lie consume,
from quarter to third of the materials fOl
clothing the human family-that Is, as much
as four hundred and fifty millions to seven
hundred millions of the other inhabitants OF
tho world consume. Yet these arc only the
more obvious signs Of material progress.
which cannot yet be accurately measured.
1t is in other respects that the development
of the country will presently h,,pome more ap

Another attempt was made last evening TO
wreck an important express train on the llud-
son River Railroad. Fortunately. the ObStruc-
tons placed upon the track near New-iiam-
burg were discovered in time to stop the train
and prevent any damage The need of close
y patrolling the tracks and OF extraordinary
efforts to capture the villains engaged IN such
cxccrable work is now more than ever appar-
ent The would-be train-wieckcrs last night
seem to have been eagerly watching for the
results of their iiendish malice, since the en-
poye who first undertook to remove the OBJ
struction was fired upon. There can be little
doubt that the miscrcants are strikers made
desperate by the result of their folly. Their
apprehension and punishment arc Imperative

When the members of the Produce Exchange
take UP political question they 60 about it
with the same energy and directncss that they
exhibit in their business transactions. Their
meeting yesterday in reference 70 commercial
reciprocity was short, sharp and explicit.
Without wasting either timo or words the
Produce Exchange merchants Enthusiastically
registered their approval of the policy which
Mr.. Blaine has 80 powerfully urged upon the
country. no partisan feeling was permitted
to obtr,,dc itself The meeting was nnani-
mo,,sly in favor Of the enlargement OF foreign
markets for American products.
The resignation Of Chief Justice Larrnmorc,
II the Court OF Common Pleas will occasion
both surprise and regret. Judge LarremOre's
health, it appears, has not been good for some
tiue and the extra work which he had to do
recently told severely upon him. lie has been
on the bench for twenty years, and his present
term would not have expired until 1893. His
record has been credtable in every respect,
and he will be remembered a. an impartial
and high minded Judge. The regret at his re-
trement is not lessened by the fact that the
vacancy must be filled for more than year to
,ome by q man of Governor Hills selection.
Whether made in good faith or not. the
offer of some one unknown to have the brick
boycott lifted in consideration OF $4,000
in cash to be paid BY the brick manufacturers
is q curious and suggestive incident in this
singular contest between organized capital and
Organized labor. Put in plain English. II
means that the Board of Walking Delegates

bribe. The manufacturers are to be com.
