II NEW YEAR.

The retrospect over the past year
affords a satisfactory conclusion as to the
progress the people Of the United States
have made, and the results are such as 10
justify confidence in a season of con
tinued prosperity during 1888. The
business enterprises listed is over f,o00,-
600, as compared with about G0O,0 600
January i, 1880. AS population since
1880 has increased 23 per cent. it would
seem that commercial and industrial
activity has outstripped the increase of
population in eight years three-fold.
The opening year will be remarkable
for the effects felt in our material affairs
from the great change likely to occur in
our political policy. The country had
become SO used to the yoke it carried in
the form of useless tax burdens TO the
amount of 500, 600 a year that the
masses Of the people accepted a mere
dogma as the reason for It, and Republi-
can politicians had infused the laboring
men with the idea that it was all for their
protection.
If Congress carries out the measures
or ever a part of them suggested by
President Cleveland 1t is certain that the
greatest era Of prosperity ever known in
America will set in. The ever.active
brains and hands Of our country seek
enterprise and labor with the intense
passion tina. drove the N0rsemen to wal
and foreign adventure, and when once
we are put in fair competition with the
whole outside world manufactures and
commerce will multiply with startling
rapidity.
We believe that the intelligence of the
masses Of tie people will triumph over
The blind belief in the old idea.
One Of the happy and substantial bless
Jugs that the American citizen should be
grateful for besides tie Democratic
freedom he enjoys is the likelihood of
permanent peace at the time when other
countries are in a constant fever for fear
Of riva!ries and complications whit heir
ncighhorS and consequent war.
Altogether the wish for a happy New
Year contains something more than con
ventional compliment. We may send it
forth with a hearty good will.

In 1885 England, under her system of
free raw materials, exported over $116.-
600 900 worth Of wooden goods. which
were distributed all we the world.
In 1887 the United States exported
about $500, 900 worth of wooden goods
under the system of taxing raw ma
~terials.
Now let the Protectionists doctor The
figures as they may, there is no getting
around that, and the truth Is that our
workingmen and capitalists are enclosed
within an absurd network of t~yrannical
laws that confine skill and capital TO the
artificially protected home market in
which the citizen is forced to pay twice
the value Of the article. We had as well
be on a Robinson Crrsoe Island "a to be
thus cut off from the rest Of the world
in this age Of trade and manufacture.
Let anybody who has ever noted the
prices of clothing at Buffalo or Detroit
compare them with the prices of the
same a%rticle- in Montreal or Toronto, and
the difference explains tie huge proper
tions OF the INDUSTRIOUS outrage Of a Pro-
tectiye tariff.
The workman wants work for his
hands, aud he will get it all the year
round il the employer has the chance to
buy the raw materials at the same prices
paid in other countries. for the PROPOSE
lion then is simply to go on the markets
Of the world with your manufactured
article and compete fairly.

TIE New York Sun being asked by
several subscribers how "a gentleman
should kiss a young lady gracefully With
out looking like a fool" Uncle Dana re-
plies rs follows
Il. lie should understand that young
lady, meaning one of tie regular run Of
Young ladies not related to him in any
special degree, must not be kissed at all
ii. When kissed, shs should never be
kissed in public. III. The man who
kisses aud stops to think of critics, is
beneath criticism.
But perhaps our correspondents in
speaking Of a young lady really had in
mind one who might properly be cOnsid-
cred In connection with this subject. As
we reflect, three such characters come TO
mind. They are the near relative or
cousin, the bride, and, under rare and
extraordinary circumstances the be-
tr0thed."

BEHIND rHE rOOrLrGHrs.

The Dramatic Mirror has been reflect
ing for some time the suffering pictures
behind the scenes OF theatres where gor-
geous heroes. majestic kings, romantic
lovers, heroines and lovely chorus singers.
and ballet girls are made up"fn horrible
little cells that are the very exact repre-
sentation Of perfect discomfort.
The little cheap mirror, a single gas
jet, any amount Of dust, and a pine shelf
or table, rickeiy chairs, and only a big
trunk with the wardrobes-and perhaps a
"dresser" for the better paid men, and a
maid for the star actresses these are the
accessories and concomitants Of prepar-
ing the figures and groups that make up
the ensemble Of a play or opera. The
contrast between the dressing.ro room and
the stage is much stronger than that be-
tween the beautiful ideal OF dramatic
pagesntrY and real life.
How many colds and what general
suffering are the result Of the conven-
tional dressing-room are only known 10
the suffering members of the "profes-
sion"
Rats and vermin hold the fort waen
the making up" is not going on, and
sometimes when it il. There is m
thing comical about all this when con-
trasted with the graces and beauties Of
the art. Think Of seeing Ophelia sitting
o. a pine boxtslking gossip or drinking
beer with the Queen and the Grave
Digger, while Hamlet sets a cigar il his
mouth, at an angle Of fortv-iive degrees
and pledges the Ghost in a cocktail, and
compare the dressing-room we have de-
scribed with the court scene on the stage.
What is wanted is not an expensive
dressing room, but simply a plain, comfort
able little room fitted with a table, two
chairs, two bracket mirrors, hot and cold
water, hooks TO hang clothes. on, and
good ventilation. In the immense pro-
gress Of comfort since the American Cen
tennial the theatre has been left, at least
the part Of il behind the scenes.

The New York Tunes criticises VI.
Pasteur's plan for destroying the rabbits
Of Australia as follows:
M. Pasteur proposes Il at the rabbits
shall be infected with disease by feeding
20 them the microbes of chicken cholera.
A chemist of South Australia proposes
to kill them off by giving them tubercu-
losis. lie has been experimenting with
four rabbits which have this disease and
were brought from Germany. His con-.
illusions are that the disease can be
spread among the rabbit hosts from only
two or three animals, and that while in
the course of time Ii is invariably fatal,
it also causes sterility. Tuberculosis
might therefore be moro effective than
chicken cholera. But the Australian
chemist assumes that the disease cannot
be communicated from rabbits to other
animals.
