HS 4,DYZ rope, THURSBAY, Tan. 5th, 1893, A RE7'I?081'ECi' In our first issue since the opening Of a New Year it seems befitting' to take a retrospect of the past, in order to be 'forewai•ued" and thus to be eStorearnled" for the possibilities of the near future. The year 1592, which has ,just closed upon us,was a year fraught with great, changes -and, in many in- stances, with disastrous results. ;Many r,3at and noble men—including the Heir presumptive to the British throne and. the late Poet Laureate --have pass edaway and joined the silent majori- ty; while in the commercial and polit- cal world very important chanes have occurred both in the old world and in the new, which will exert a powerful influence on the future policy of the nations. In England, ey a combine, tion of <rdverse circumstances, the Sal- isbury government which did such goodberyice for Ireland, and also for the extension of British territory, and fthepreservation itll'fore- ign with nations -was replaced' by the un- expected n s ct urn topower of the Rt e pe ed rot ht p w h b Hon. W. E. Gladstone, In the United States, the Presidertal election has re- sulted in a complete victory for the Democrats and a sweeping condemna- tion of the Republicans, who advocated an excessive retaliatory or rather a prohi.bitoiv policy of protection. In our own country, au entire change took place in the political horizon of Que- bec provia,ce,owin ' to the malfeasance on a gigantic scale of the Mercier ad ministration, which has been displaced by a reactionary movement resulting in strong Conservative government. At Ottawa, the federal Cabinet and ad- minstration have undergone some im• portant changes, owing to the failing health of Sir John•C, Abbott; resulting in the unainmous choice of Sir John S. D. Thompson, Minister of Justice, as Premier of the Dominion of Canada. While certain other useful changes have been made in the administration at Ottawa, ir. following out the policy o the late Sir John A. Macdonald, by hieh we now have a Minister of Trade And Commerce distinct from the De- tment of Finance; and a new office has been created (without additional outlay) of Solicitor General,to assist: the Minister+. of Justice in his double cepa "city of Premier and Attorney General for the Dominion. Looking back over the past quarter of a century, since the era of Confederation 'which event unit- ed the conflicting elements and isola- ted condition of the several provinces— there is much for which to be thankful and everything te encourage our peo- ple with the prospect before them. Here in a nutshell are a fe v of the practical results of Confederation: (1) A feder- al union of all the provinces from ocean to ocean; (2) An, inter provincial trade of lame and increasing dimensions; (3) The construction of the CanadianPacif.. ie Railway, by which an immence and valuable trade has been opened up be tureen Europe and the Orient; (4) A net work of provincial railways; (5) The maturing of a National Policy,' which gives employment to tens of thousands. of our people and keeps the money ` in • ^aur own courltr gK)--Tie opening up. of aYr imidole North West territory of inexh .stible resources, both miner - all and agultural; (?) The creation oaf a,u;inenense trade between Canada andl"the Motherland reaching to over a hundred million 'dollars in volume;. With (8) the near prospect of a federal union among all the Colonies of the. Empire, on the basis of a preferential tariff between the United Kingdom anti the outlying portions of Great Brit ain, These are the chief elements of progress that haye resulted from the far-seeing policy of our late political Chieftain, whose name will be remora, bored for generations to come -aided as Sir John A, MaeDonald was by a few large minded men from the liberal ranks—by which Confederation has made the Dominion of Canada the most valuable gem in the British Grown What is wanted to Hive full practical effect to the policy already inaugurated 18 increased irntnigratiou to fill up our North West territory, unity of atim and purpose by all races and creeds, loyalty to the throne, and full faith in the future destiny of oar young na. tion.

And after-. wards—pray good digestion wait on appetite and health on both' We have mull reasol1 in this Do oilmen of ours to enter into the obser- vance of the festivities of the seams v,ith unrestrained heartiness, P�ovid ecce has favored this country with _ a fair measure of prosperity. It is true people complain of hard times, but when did they not? Business may be less profitable than we should Wish: we may work hard, and may receive, as we think, little reward for our toil; competition may be keen, and it may tax our ingenuity to make ends meet. But,; how fortunate is our lot conapar- ed with that of our fellow men in of her lands. The pinch of poverty is no doubt felt occassionally among us, bat there are no starving thousands batt- ling hopelessly with waut and misery, while, famine and disease stalk through the community. There are no five million of people in the world more prosperous and con- tented than the people of Canada. Here honest o est labor is pretty sure of a sufficient return to afford the comforts, if not the luxuries of life. We have no such disturbances as have led to the calling out of troops in several states of the union to quell civil disorder, The red spectre of anarchy does not menace us as it does the French. Our lines have been cast in a pleasant place, and we onght to rejoice in the fact. Once more we wish our patrons and the public at large what we haye every reason to believe. they will en. joy a happy new year. Rillsgreeu. LOCAL Niews,-Messrs Wm, Jarrett and Win.
