At tho Nelson Wealeyan eSynod, the following resolution was passed: " That tho Synod puts on record its gratitude at the sign of moral progress shown throughout the colony in tho large increaeo of the vote for No-license. It deeply regrets that there are still so many who are prepared to vote thousands of their fellow-men to misery and death by voting for the continuance of ihe liquor traffic. It believes that the recent advance of anti-liquor sentiment throughout tho various Churches is a pledge that the liquor traffic in this colony is doomed and before long will bo voted out of existence." MR ARNOLD'S VIEWS. • fSPZCIAI. TO "THE PRESS.") DUNEDIN, December 18. Mr Arnold, at the reunion of his committees, said it had become the duty of every member of the Liberal party not only to be supporters of Liberal, progressive measures, but to be keen critics of the administration of their own party. The Government must consult their party, and individual members must criticise the Administration when necessary, and even vote Against it if they thought it was not for the welfare of the people as a whole. In hia opinion, the Government should reconstruct tho Ministry, but personally he did not consider it would reconstruct. They should not be disappointed if the Government did not reconstruct-, or if, when tho session camo round, they found him criticising the Government in consequence. THE PAHIATOA SEAT.
