In contrasting the condition of this
country In 17eS withI its condition now,
the st. Ions Globe Democrat says:
The growth of America from an area
of S27. 900 square miles and apcpulatlon
of 100000 in 1898 to all area of $780,
600 and population of So 600 900 in
1888, attended as it has been attended by
a rise from population in which Its
enmIty had no menace for even the
feeblest of foreign States to one IN
which its friendship is sought by the
most powerful nations on earth, repre-
s9nts a physical and moral advancement
without parallel in the annals of tile
world"

Representative SulZer, of New York.
Tammanv Democrat, is ambitious 10
be the speaker of the House. but his
candidacy for the honor is not regardcd
with much favor in the North, even If
the Democrats have majority in the
BODY, and the same might be SAID of his
being selected as the leader of the Dem
ocrats on the floor IN the event that his
party is IN the minority in the next Con-
gress. The fact that Mr.. Sulzer is be-
ing pushed BY New York friends for the
'c"ssersnaP--Of the Democratic party In
Congress causes the Boston Herald to
remark as folio
I'VE are much inclined to doubt if
the Democrats of the next national
House of Representatives agree to tale
Congressman SulZer OF New York as
their leader, place to which he seems
to have designated himself. They will
look for man of better demonstrated
ability. The Democrats of the House
are not strong IN this respect; indeed,
for some time they have been singular
ly inferior to the Republicans in point
OF talent, and they have lost two or three
OF their most valuable men through
their voluntary retirement from Con-
gress at The close of the present session

qualities OF leadership. in the next Con-
