A WASHINGTON correspondent writes
that most people at the national capital
are pleased that the decision of Judge
bridge across the Missouri river be-
tween the Gould railways and the Rock
Island, has been against Mr.. Gould. He
says that the feeling is not due to any
regard for the merits of the case, but
because Gould is in it, and popular
sentiment is against him because he is
believed to be an INSCRIPTIONS man in
his railroad methods, and has acquired
his vast wealth at the expense of others.

which could be imposed by the Presi-

sugar-producing countries did not ex-
tend to the United States some advan-

their sugar. That provision is part of
the law, being added, it may be repeated,
after Mr.. Blaine's criticism. Under
that provision a market has been made
for many thousand bushels of American
wheat and millions of dollars worth of

THE six hundred citizens who petit
toned the Board of Public Works three
months ago for an order requiring the gas
companies to extend their mains are
really inconsiderate in their impotence
for response. The matter was referred
to the city attorney. and of course that
gentleman, who is also Deputy Attorney
general, has been too busy with his
double duties to attend to it. If they
give Leon time, and the election does not
go the wrong way for him, he will look
into the question before this time next
year.

The Sun has placed Russia among the
nations requiring imports of breadstuffs,
not because she is expected to become
an importer, since supplies are not to be
had, but TO show what are the worlds
needs, as well as the fallacy of expecting
exports of wheat from country where
the supply is 100000, 900 bushels less than
domestic requirements. Eliminating
Russia from the estimate, Europe will
still be short 1865. 900, 900 bushels of wheat
and rye after the outside world has sent
to that continent every bushel of those
grains they can spare. Of course, the
probable American corn crop may be
made to help supply the deficit, much as
Europeans dislike it for food; but, in
spite of all sources of food supply, there
is every reason 20 believe that large
part of Europe is confronted with
bread scarcity Ito put it mildly that it
has not witnessed for generations, and
this condition exists year after the
wheat crop of the world was 100000
bushels above the average. The civil

within one crop of absolute famine.
