FH IDA Y , OCTODUn S3, 1391, THE DRAMATIC INSTINCT.
It is an old and woll-worn tuuism tliat human
nature in its main iioints is the- same all the world over, and th a t individuality, bent,, or genius are merely the greater prominence of some one of its essential features. . Not the
lc.ast in importance of these features is the dramatic instinct. An analysis of character would reveal its presence in almost every one. I t assorts itself in tho “ make-believe ” of childhood, in the airs of youth, and in tiie affected wisdom of
, riper years. So rare is an absolute freedom froin acting—a perfectly natural manner—that Shakespeare in a . well-known passage has asserted th a t
“ All the world’s a stage, And all tho men and women merely players,”
This, however, refers mainly to unconscious acting. The dramatic instinct demands recogni-
' tion in other and more obvious forma. Hence, our theatres and various dramatic societies, and such performances as those given in the Public Hall, on Saturday and Monday evenings. Stage fever is not uncommen amongst young persons, and many a young man lias (generally ou insufficient grounds) felt i t to bo his
p.articular mission in ' life to interpret to an enthralled public some sucli great dramatic character as th a t of Hamlet, or young woman such character as Portia. In spite of the universality of this passion fo r '

acting, i t is looked upon from very different points of view by different people. To some i t is an unmitigated evil, both players and play goers. Tlie theatre is, in tlieir estimation, a hotbed where vice and crime are fostered, and (if they only could) they would stamp out tho drama in its every form. Ou the other hand, there arc those who deem the stage a public iustructor, with a Iiigh and lofty mission to teach men the folly of selfishness, dishonesty, and vice, and point out to them the blessings th a t may be expected to follow the man who is persistent in his honour and integrity. Such have been known to go as far as oven to advo cate the erection of a stage in every church. Surely the truth lies somewhere between these
two extremes. Whilst the la tte r extreme would do vastly more harm than good, i t seems difiicult to allow th a t an instinct so strong and so natural should be hopelessly and irrouiodiablj'bad. I t would be idle to say th a t the stage, even a t
its present best, is all th a t i t should bo. Tliere is far too much, tliat is demoralizing, and far too little ;th a t is soundly elevating —far too mucli sentimental trash, and too little healthy common-sense. ' Reformers must sot
better state of
to "Work to introduce a ' for
things, they
will no more abolish llie s tag e , than they will eradicate the dramatic instinct from human nature. Let them take care th a t vice is never for a moment countenanced, th a t i t is never exhibited but to be unhesitatingly and uncom promisingly condemned, and th a t mere sentiment never takes the place of sound and Iiealthy teaching. I t is certain th a t the stage has a. powerful influence which can never be wholly destroyed.. The question a t issue is whether i t shall be cultivated or allowed to ju n wild, whether i t shall pander to the lower passions or bo a means of elevation, whether its influence shall ;be permitted to work in concert with thosc^ of tlic gambling hells or shall be made a second to th a t of the preacher in urging and inspiring, men to truth, honesty, and right living.
In another column will bo found a brief sum
mary of a remarkaklc letter, which appeared in , Wednesdays “ leading daily ”—remarkable,' not
so mucli. for the suggestion i t contains forYhc.. botternicnt of ihe agricultural labourer's ^con-, ditiou, as for the bold and determined manner m.

ISS .'WHITESIDE;- *Agent and' CeVtifled Tcncliorof the above, is prepared to receive
whiclx tho subject IS, attacked.,' Evidently, - the writer is fully persuaded th a t something ought to be, and can be, done for tins purpose, He claims th a t his scheme of , co-operativa ,farms as a natural sequel to the allotments scheme, and th a t its benoflts will he fa r wider-reaching and far more lasting than th a t of small holdings could ever convey. Whether “ W’s ” scheme will bo generally considered a practical one, wo cannot say, but i t is certain th a t the p a r t of i t which; lays doim as a rule th a t no labourer ought to marry before reaching the age of 30, will be any- tiling but popular, Tho letter, on the whole, is certain to do good, o\cn if its suggestion should should not stand tho test of criticism, because i t
is clearly an honest attempt to solve a difficult and important problem, and cten in tlic event of the attempt proving a failure, i t will certainly
bo a valuable help to those who shall makosimi- la r attempts in the future.
THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS- As we arc now nearing the end of October, and
up to la st Tuesday nothing had been done in the matter of selecting candidates for the Town Council in place of tlie members rotnring, the Liberals havc bestirred themselves, and a meeting of Liberal electors was held on Tuesday evening, Aldernmu Onuorod presided, and tliere was a moderate attendance. A long discussion took
place, during which tho meeting received informa tion from several quarters and on several authorities th a t an election was certain to bo forced on them from the outside. ■ In consequence of this i t was decided to nominate four condidates. The two retiring Liberal members (Messrs. A. Roberts and J . Robinson) and Mr. J . T Bracewcll consent ed to stand, and wore accordingly nominated, and a committee wjis appointed to secure a fourth candidate. The meeting was adjourned until last night when the result of the committee’s efforts wore made known, and 3\tr- J . Parker, Lowergate, was appointed as the fourth candidate.

CO-OPERATIVE FARMS. Tlie London Times of Wednesday contains a
letter which is signed “ W.,” .and which is of special interest to farmers and agriculturalists generally, inasmuch as i t contains the writer’s
idea of a scheme for the improvement of the agricultural labourer’s lot. The scheme is based upon the development of thrift among tho class i t is intended to benefit, and .also upon a “ woll- considcred plan of State or Imperial aid and supervision ” in the establishing of a co-operative farm in every parish. Tlie writer commences his letter by saj’ing
prisoner had been in better circumstances tlian a t present. But lie had been of extravagant habits, and thereby got into difficulties. He theu went on the “ spree,” and spent sums of money. He theu tried to redeem his position by gambling, but he went from bad to worse. Tliat went ou until he could stand i t no longer, and he made a clean breast of the whole matter. But i t might bo pointed out tliat ho only accounted for .:fill2 out of £20-4. He did not keep anything back wilfully, he made known all he could without tho books. Ho was sorry for what ho had. done, and would con duct himself better, in future, and m.akc whatever recompense he could to his employers. The prisoner was sent to prison for eight cal6u' dar mouths, with hard labour.

th.at, he carried on a number of small cmbezzlcmcuts, and then absented himself from his work. He wrote a letter to his erajiloyers admitting having embezzled £112. Wlien tho books, liowcver, were examined, i t was found tliat the dedications, amounted to £204. For throe months out of the seven prisoner was honest, so th a t for four months ho had embezzled something like £50 per month. J lr . Shoe, on behalf of tho prisoner, said the
th a t the Bill for providing pensions in old age, now passing through Parliament, will remove a great difficulty in the way of his scliomc. A t the age of 18 or 20, the agricultural labourer expects to be in receipt of a man’s full wage, and by tlic age of 25 or 30 ' (before which he ought not , to marry) he should have accumulated a sum of a t least £40 or £50, malting all allowance for subscriptions to a benefit club, and other necessary* expenses. At th a t ago, and with th a t sum to his credit a t the bank, and a similar sum to the credit of the j-oung woman ho maj* now take to wife, he ought to liavc an opportunity* of purchasing sliarcs in a parish co-operative farm. Glebe and litlio lands slioulJ be abolished, and an Act passed, ordering th a t certain lands for the purposes of tlic co-operative farm shall be set apar t in every rural parish in England, for the special use and benefit of tlie agricultural labourer.s. This farm would be managed very much in tho same
wny.as a co-operative store The legal machinery by which such institutions
would have to be established would be similar to tliat which established the National School system. In cases of. rent disputes, appeal would be made to an Imperial Department or to tho County Council. Shareholders, and their wives and families also if they’ chose, would be able to work upon the farm, but i t would not bo compulsory.- Dairy work, culture of fruit, .flowers, mushrooms, or any branch of work
' specially suited to the locality, would be taken up.

question of ways and moans, and enumerating a few of the arguradits in favour of the adoption of some such scheme. -I t would, he claims, give the labourer a greater interest in agricultural matters, and so-make him more useful to his employer.
