bend his elbow for the salvation of the
old State. Two cents and half to the State
every time man takes his whiskey at the
bar, and half cont every time he takes
beer. That is the proposed form of the law.
It's first effect will be on the language.
Men will invite one another to ''pay the
State debt" or to contribute to the reve-
nue." or to 'swell the burden of the
tax collector" Fifty more or less pic
turesque phrases of this sort will take
tho place Immediately of tho prosy

its financial effect will be substantial. IL is
estimated that there are now just three
hundred thousand tumblcrs in that State,
and that these are in constant use at all the
bars, moving forever from the counters to the
mouths of thirsty citizens. Between beer
and whiskey every tumbler will net the

Making Rome Howl.

It is o queer story that is telegraphed
from Rome and has somewhat the aspect Of
a discovery of one of those famous curiosi-
ties known as mares nests. BY this report
it appears that several Jesuits have just
rushed to Rome from Florence with the inten-
ton of restoring the temporal power of the
Pope. They are instructed to avoid
collision with the civil authorities,
but have ''lists of volunteers pre-
pared to serve under the Papal fag,"
which would seem to imply that they are
not to avoid collision with the military au-
thorities. Large sums of money have been
collected ; everybody has been written to
sthere is no doubt that steps in this direc-
ton have long been preparing" One is
tempted to wonder why, if the restoration
of the temporal power is SO easy as
all this, somebody did not restore
it several months since In this
country when anybody proposes new
Fenian campaign We know precisely
what it means. All the bands are to play
..The Wearing of the Green" the boys are
to drink to the downfall of England, and
the girls are to come out with their little
subscription. IF we could believe that this
wretched kind of plunder had made its way

the story reported covered an assault on the
pockets of the faithful rather than on the
Italian army. But we incline to the opinion
that Tho baod IF tho Order Of Jesr1its 10 not n

Not Petrf0ed.

We are glad that the Father of His Coun-
try is not petrified as it was reported that he
was glad that the report to that effect is
contradicted on the authority Of man
whose word may be taken rs to a cadaver,
but who may not be a lapidary. There have,
no doubt, been facts in our recent history
that would have justified the sponta-
neous conversion into stone of anything
that was left of George Washington,
but it would have been an undigni-
fed proceeding on Georges part to
have taken any such notice of them;
and George was never found wanting on the
side Of dignity. Moreover, it would have
been unworthy of Georges character and his
name for anything to have been left of him
at this time to turn into stone. One of the
first duties of o well conducted corpse. once
buried, is to resolve itself into the original
elements. Any other line of conduct is i'll
bred and vulgar "a tanner" it is true,
twill last you nine year." and that is the
extreme limit to which ultimate dissolution
may be deferred even for tanner. But,
then, who and what is tanner that the
grandest gentleman of the New World should
initiate him? Extravaganza is always
avoided by modest men who regard their
dignity as George did, and the indulgence
in petrifaction is an extravaganza of de-
meanor of which he could never have been
guilty. This turning into stone is kind of
post-mortem unquiet-an eager grasping
at the retention of the semblance of
life by which the corpse, so to speak,
''gives himself away" and proves that he
loved life more than q hero should, and that
he would not have died if he could have
helped it. We rejoice that George has not
been found guilty Of such weakness. 1t is
with great satisfaction that we find ourselves
fully relieved from the apprehension that
we should some day or another have met
George Washington in an anatomical mu-
scum.

Defeat OF Canadian Protectionfsts.

The question Of high tariff for the sup
posed protection" of Canadian manufac-
lures was brought to an issue in the Lower
House of the Dominion Parliament last week,
and the 'sisolationists" IF we may invent
title for them-suffered signal defeat. The
policy of the present administration is
tariff for revenue purposes, and an amend-
ment favoring an increase Of the duties on
manufactures was lost by vote of seventy
eight in it's favor to one hundred and nino
against it--an adverse majority of thirty
one. This result is gratifying enough; but
the Toronto Globe in analyzing the vote,
taking into account and classifying the ab-
sentees states that it shows the total minis
terial strength to be one hundred md
twenty-nine and the total opposition sew
enty-iivo, or ministerial majority of fifty
four Eight ministerialists who represent
strong protection districts voted for the
amendment, but will be with the govern
ment in the final support of its revenue
policy. There are other amendments yet to
be disposed of, but it is not thought that
eny of them will fare even as we'll as that
which was killed on Thursday last.
Our Canadian neghbors nre suffering, rs
we are suffering on this side of the dividing
line, from the general depression of all
kinds of business. The lumber, shipping
manufacturing, mining and agricultural in
terests all feel the effect Of the temporary
stagnation which paralyzes the industries
on both sides of the Atlantic. Every cir
cumstance tends to encourage the belief
that the worst of the trouble is now over
and that more cheering prospect opens
before us. Better times are approaching
Tho dangers which seemed to threaten our
own peace have been happily averted.

The war cloud in Europe is less dark and

Canada will share in tho general revival,
provided her people are sensible enough to
adopt broad, liberal policy. They could
not look for the growth of their splendid
country if they should tear up all their rail-
roads, destroy their telegraph lines and re-
turn to the old stage coaches and the slow
mails. They cannot hope to share in the
returning business activity and to become
prosperous and wealthy if they creep back
into the old protection" errors and shut
themselves out from the rest of the world.

dislike of patronage-monger which. while
it is delightful to the country, is of course
very hateful to the machine men, who see
him treat carelessly the things which are
most sacred to them.
To introduce permanence into the civil
service; to make appointments only to fill
vacancies, and only for character and merit;
to refuse to reward the workers" and to
regard 'claims" and delegations with con-
tempt-what can be more awful or embar-
RAISING to the machine men? We see it
stated as part of the outrageous conduct of
the President that he has not put into the
Cabinet or sent to q foreign mission a single
member of the Republican National Com
mittee. Evidently it was the hay at tho end
of the pole which made these horses pull;
and alas they see the hay now disappearing
around the corner. The Cabinet actually
does not contain single representative of
the workers." unless Mr.. Sherman be
counted one. It is truly awful, but the
country looks with pleased amusement at
the disappointment of the machine men,
and it will support the President if only he
will stand firm and resolutely break the
machine. He has engaged himself to the
people to reform the civil service. he can
not do this without "bresking tho machine
and he cannot do better thing for the
country.

"My Awful Dad.~

Something like year and half ago that
pre-eminent English comedian, Mr.. Mathews,
wrote and produced light and amusing
play which he christened "My Awful Dad
BY the perfection of his own acting in the
title r6le and the happy adaptation OF the
piece to the requirements Of the stage Mr..
Mathews succeeded in making "My Awful
Dad" the reigning favorite in London, and
now the Mathews of our own stage has un-
dertaken to introduce the terrible papa to
New York, where he promises to establish
himself in as great favor as he did on his
natal SOIL In his latest character Mr.. Wal
lack has made something of new depart
ure. He has been identified hitherto with
the young heroes of romance and comedy,
but in 'My Awful Dad" he shows that he
can be not less effective and at the same
time true to nature in depicting o
rather elderly beau. The thorough train
ing which the old school of actors
received gave them versatility to which the
modern never attain. In the old days,
known to the general public as ''palmy," the
best actor was tho man who could most
completely sink his own individuality and
assume with ease and truth q number of
distinctly different characters. At the pres
ent time the best young actors are special
lists who must have parts written to fit them.
During the present season Mr.. Wallack has
shown us how admirably he can play such
diverse roles as the rollicking Rover. the
alternately bashful and impudent Young
Marlowe, tho modern English swell, Sir
Edward Ardent, and the reckless, earnest,
passionate and self-sacrifcing Hugh Trevor.
Now he offers, in Adonis Evergreen, some
thing distinct from all these, and from any
thing in which we can remember him. His
triumph, which has been ungrudgingly
recorded by all the critics, is the best proof
of the efficacy of the old system of profess
sional training. The lesson is one that may
with advantage be taken to heart by those
who value their art and hope to retain their
hold of the public up to the last day of their
appearance upon the mimic stage.
The New York herald., 1877-03-21
Temperance and the Drama.

The influence of the stage has been always
on the side of temperance; for although the
elder Kean, the elder Booth, George Fred
erick Cooke and many other great actors
occasionally yielded to those temptations
which seem to beset fiery and impassionate
genius, they are but exceptions to the rule.
The actors profession is one which requires
hard and constant study, and good habits are
indispensable to success. The result is that
on the modern stage inebriety is almost en-
tirely unknown. Yet the theatre, we think,
is responsible for much of the hilarity of it's
warmest admirers. The complaint is made
that between the acts Of plays young men,
and indeed their awful dads, leave the thea
ire to indulge in beer, brandy, whiskey,
cloves, crackers, apple-jack and other intox-
icating beverages. The example, however,
is set them on the stage. Bacchus and
the vine have been celebrated in the
English comedies ever since Autolycus
sang their praise in the ''Winters Tale. :"
Who but an anchorite could fail to
appreciate the spirit with which, in
"She Stoops to Conquer" Messrs. Gill
bert, Wallack and Stevenson drain among
themselves q tankard, one foot deep. and
supposed to contain hot water, sugar, Ja-
maica rum and nutmeg? In the "School for
Scandal" our old friend Mr.. Careless carols a
song, of which the moral is that toast to
any woman, young or old, is good enough
excuse for glass. When Mlle Aimee in
"Girofe-Girofa" sings her enchanting song
and brews her Circean flaming bowl of
punch every one who listens has an i'm
mediate desire to drink. Then we have
Falstaff, the great intellectual drinker, who
sanctified sack and gave to English litera-
ture the flavor of cakes and ale. The op-
eras are also full of drinking songs from
the "Don Juan" Of Mozart to the
'"Traviata" of Verdi. 1t is true that drama
lists are more responsible than the actors
for this apotheosis of vino, but the effect
upon the public is the same. Mr. Gilbert
and Mr.. Coghlan, no doubt, quaff goblets of
air and enjoy imaginary Barmecide BAN
quets; but the results Of these illusions are
seductive to the spectator, and who can
blame him if sometimes he attempts to real
ize for himself the pleasures he sees upon
the stage?
