World Prosperity. From nearly all countries that fur nish important markets for the United States there come reports showing in dustrial progress and excellent trade prospects. In spite of all that we hear of poverty in Great Britain that coun try has taken full part in the world wide trade revival both at home and in exports, as shown by the demand for her products at the close of the year 1905. In Germany the general report is that all manufacturing and trade en terprises are “doing remarkably well.” France rejoices in an increased domes tic and export trade, while Austria and Belgium have experienced the influence of the prosperous wave. On this side of the water the United States increased its foreign trade in several directions, while Canada never had a more prosperous year than that just closed. In South Africa the gold production reached high water mark, and the whole region shows signs of business recovery. The prosperity of the whole world must in time affect Japan, Manchuria and Korea, where the strain of war has been severe. It will be a prosperity worth crowing over when it is universal, and plenty in one country does not mean famine in another. Special Inspector Braun of the de partment of commerce and labor is evidently an inspector who not only inspects, but tells the truth about it He says that certain countries named look upon the United States in the at titude of adjuncts or colonies of their own and that immigrants come here to gain citizenship, then go home to the fatherland and plot against their home governments. In the event of trouble they claim the protection due American citizens. It is time this country ceased to be “easy” for all sorts of schemers and villains. “There are,” says a writer in the Irish Independent, “many mountains in this country now bare and desolate whose brows, if whiskered with for ests, would present a striking appear ance.’ We don't know how it would look on a mountain, but a man’s brow whiskered would certainly “present g¢ striking appearance,” like the hairy masked Japs in ancient armor, for in stance. General Edward F. Jones, who as a militia colonel led the Sixth Massachu setts on its historic march through Bal timore In April, 1861, proposes that the state develop a system of pensions for the blind. The gallant soldier is him self blind and makes the appeal for fel low unfortunates who are poor as we as sightless. John Burns, workingman member of the British cabinet, has diounced a no ble ear from his position as a mem ber of the local board of guardians of Mamesbury because the earl has neg lected his duties. Evidently that re form germ which is so rampant in this country that now has reached England, Keating's cutery is the best.
