w. +. WAKEMAN, general secretary Of
the American Protective Tariff league.
has declined the Tariff Reform clubs
invitation to have a joint debate, de-
olaring that his league is not q political
association and that it is covering it's
field ia other ways. 10 is amusing how
these protectionists invent reasons 20
obscure their fear to meet an honest
manin honest debate where argument
can be pitted against argument, where
question and reply can be compared. The
protection f0lacios cannot be maintained
in debate. The bold faced lies
they discover are as Senator Black
burn says. insists TO intelligence
A political audience can stand ordinary
Republican mondaciy and extraordinary
demagogy, but when man is compelled
TO explain that the tariff duty was de
creased on sugar to make sugar cheaper
TO the consumers, and increased on tin
plate to make wages higher TO the work
iugmen and tin cheaper TO the consum.
ers his public stultifcatinn is too great
for endurance. When, in addi-
ton, he is compelled to tell
tho farmers In Kansas, as McKin-
ley did, that the tariff made plows
cheaper to them and gave higher wages
TO the workingmen, while tariff on wheat,
acorns and hen eggs rendered the profits
of the farm greater, even the shame
less demagogue naturally hesitates and
then declines to go on the stump.
The proteetionistsa are cheeky but they are
not cheeky enough to write themselves
down as asses in public

THE JEWISH new YEAR.
TOMORROW WILL USHER IN THE
YEAR 1888.

Appropriate Services in the synagogues
on Thursday and Friday-PenitentiaI
Sabbath on Saturday Sounding the
shofar.
Tomorrow evening at sunset the year
1888 of the Jewish calender will be
ushored in throughout this city. The
year Is known as Ammo Mundi The
Hebrew reckoning is traditional, and the
New Year, occurring as it does in the
seventh month, is not known in the
Pentateuch by that name "In the
seventh month, on the first day of the
month, We shall have a Sabbath, mem
orial of shouting blowing of trumpets)
a Holy cOnvOcation." The Hebrew
months begin with Nissan, in which the
passover annually is celebrated. As all
the feasts and the Holy days are
regulated by the feast of unleavened
bread, the days of memorial occur in
Tishri, the seventh month. Prior t., .he
great exodus from Egypt, how
Tishri was the first month, h. G,
though the reckoning begins at Nisan,
the year changes to another number in
Tishri. "A memorial of the going forth
from Egypt are words uttered in the
prayers ON all feasts and holy days,
showing that Israels nationality dates
from the period Of that divinely miracu-
lous event.
The two days of the New Year are the
first two of the ten penitential DAYS. nine
Of which mark days of preparation for
.the tenth-the great day of atonement,
when every Israelite asked of the Al
mighty Judge forgiveness for sins com
mitted during the year The first day
of the New year is universally observed
business being entirely suspended, and
all the houses Of worship, together with
many improvised services at halls. be-
ing thronged with worshipers. At all
the synagogues the Shofar. an instru-
ment made of a rams horn, is sounded
numerous times, in commemoration of
historic events and predictions, and
to warn the people that the great
day Of repentance is near. when they
must be prepared TO atone for their sins.
The services on both days of the New
Year begin earlier and continue later
than usual They are marked by spec
ial solemnity, and the delivering Of
sermons by the ministers The sections
read from the Pentateuch and the pro.
phets are: On the first day. Genesis
chapter xxi Numbers, xxx, 1-6; Samuel,
