The Daily Telegraph. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1891.

Tiik colonial treasury is tho poorer by £10,500 than it was a fortnight ago by the payment of the honorarium to members for a week's session of Parliament. This sum by no means represents the cost of this short session. There is ihe honorarium paid to Legislative Councillors, and the hundred and one incidental expenses attached to cleaning up the building, the salaries of 1 servants, &o. Then again, the change of Ministry is another source of expense ; the mere alterations made in the furniture of Ministerial residences, rendered necessary by the going out of one family and the coming in of another, all means a loss to the colony. For this expenditure there is not a pennyworth of good to be shown. It is pure loss, and for which the now Government is solely to blame. At the rate at which money has been spent during the last week or two thero will soon be nothing left of the savings and scraping of the last three years. Mr Ballance endeavored to screen himself from the disgrace cf a double session by asserting that he was not responsible for calling Parliament together. In one sense he was not; but he is responsible for dismissing members to their homes when they could be kept together for the transaction of public business. Mr Duthie, one of the members for Wellington, while protesting against a double session, said " there was no practical difficulty that he knew of why tho session should not go on till the end of March, after which the financial Statement could be prepared. They (the members) were paid for doing the work of the colony, and he was of opinion that they should do it. The Government were adopting a rather ignoble course by securing four months' tenure of office without bringing down their policy." But, as the Dunedin Star has pointed out, "th> immediate object which Ministers seek to compass is evidently the postponement of a complete declaration of their policy and the transaction of any business until a second session, to be held some time after the conclusion of the financial year. The Premier would, no dotibt, infinitely prefer time to look about him, and to feel the public pulse, before absolutely committing himself on questions his course in regard to which may make or mar him politically. But a more impelling force is probably the desire of a numerically powerful section of bis party to make hay while the sun shines, and to pocket a double honorarium. It is a plank in tho platform of those who arrogate to themselves the title of " Liberal" in this colony that members of tho House of Representatives shall receive substantial annual salaries, and we may suppose that the recently elected disciples of this school of politics conscientiously believe that, if (hey cannot secure it by statute, they are justified in appropriating it by such means as now seem available, at least for the present year." The Ohristohureh Telegraph is equally emphatic in its condemnation of tho action of Ministers. Our contemporary says :—-"'The Government have made a bad start with thejr economic refnrina. Instead of doing what the colony lias a right to demand of them, namely, proceeding with the business of the country after a reasonable adjournment, they have decided upon incurring the entirely unnecessary expenditure involved, by & second session, v.'hich cannot be estimated at much less than 420,000, But what is n paltry £20,000 in comparison to four mouths' comfortable occupation of the Government benches ? It is too ridiculous, and the very idea of th; Radical Government studying economy is simply absurd. Tho taapayerl will remember that this 420,0.00, is to bo wrung put of their 'pockets through the. action of the Government in fusing to proceed with th» *- " .' .'i 1, c i I j, ; i. .. ■- business of the country _. a uue representatives are in Welling- I ton." The Wanganui.Chronicle cries:— !

" Hurrah for Ballance and Booty ! So say the Liberal members who aro returning homeward with their pockets full of plunder. Wei! may they sing the praises of Mr Ballance—for certain it is that if Sir Harry Atkinson had still been in power he would never have consented to members receiving double honorarium. AVithout.it, however, the present Government would not have been able to secure an uncontrolled four months of office !"

Tire Wellington Post says it has never concealed its dislike of tho property tax. It goes on to say :—" It is a crude, ill-advised, and in many respects impolitic and unfair system of taxation. The sooner it can be dispensed with altogether, or by modification deprived of its most objeotionablo features, tho better for the colony. In principle a land tax, or a land and income tax combined, is much preferable. But tho property tax produces the money which the colony must have to pay its way and proservo its credit, aud it is at least open to reasonable doubt whether a land tax, or a laud and income tax, would do this without proving more oppressive, injurious, and inequitable in practical operation than even the property tax itself. All tho information wo have been able to gal her, all the figures we have been able to consult, have led us to tho conclusion that neither a land tox nor a land and income tax could, under existing circumstances, be adjusted equitably in thiH colony so as to produce the amount absolutely require d and which the property tax yiolds. The Stout-Vogol Government a few years ago realised this when tho responsibilities of office fell upon them, and MrßallaiuiC whs then compelled to acquiesce in the soundness of the conclusion. Sir Robert Stout, after three years' consideration of the subject, and although free from official responsibility, has not hesitated to openly proclaim the samo resulf;. The question ia one, indeed, in the decision of which practical expediency must outweigh and overrule all consideration of mere ab,straot principle." lt'vyw doubtless political expediency that impeli-..-. 1 . Hr Ballanoo and hia followers to pledge themselves to abolish the property tax, on the strength Oi which they rode into power. It was this expediency which outweighed the abstract principle of common morality.

The same argument which is held to have so mu;h force in the case of the Akaroa seat should have equal weight iv that of Te Aroha. The petition agaiust the election of Mr Joyce complained that some ten or eleven polling place* were closed an hour earlier than that allowed by law Here was a clear infringement of the Act. but the Judges came to the conclusion that the error of the Beturning Officer could not have made such a difference in the voting as to have affected the result of tho poll. The petition was therefore dismissed. This is the first instance in tho history of New Zealand iv which it has been held that the electoral law can be broken, aud peoole deprived of their right to vote by the error of an electoral officer. Now, in the case of Te Aroha, Mr Allen was away in England at the time of his nomination and election ; ho therefore did not sign his nomination paper, and he did not take his seat iv Parliament, and no one .-.slied leave of absence for him. But none of these things made any difference in respect of the number of votes given him at the election, and if tho law can bo set a-o.de as was done iv the matter of Aknroa, the Act ought to be equally over-ridden in the case of Te Aroha.

In the yard of the Harbor Board's office at the breakwater m-iy he seen a big lump of papa rock adhering to whi-h are several oysters. We are not learned in oysters, and so we are unable to say to what "family these particular ones belong. We say "particular," because while they look like rock-oysters, they have the habits of the mud-oyster. Rock-oysters, as most of our readers are aware, require air, and aro therefore always found where the tide leaves them exposed twice in the twentyfour hours. Mud-oysters are found loose at the bottom of the sea. But here, in Napier, we have a comical little fellow with a very crinkled shell, sticking hard and fast to rocks in deep water. The shell is the same as that which we see in the lime-stone here. We understand that when Mr Goodall was engineer to the Harbor Board the diver used often to supply him with buckets of these oysters. Mr Goodall, apparently, did not think it worth while to refer to the existence of these bivalves in any of his communications to the Philosophical Society. Perhaps some of our local savants may consider the subject of sufficient interest to take up.

The Borough Council meet this evening at the usual hour.

The practice of St. Paul's choir will this week be held on Saturday, commencing at 7.30 p.m.

Mr G. H. Swan, M.H.R., and Mr J. Carroll, M.H.R., arrived.from Wellington by last train yesterday.

Mr H. F. Gibbons, who has been connected with the Bank of New Zealand here for the last thirteen years has received well deserved promotion, as he has now been appointed to the Assistant-Inspector's office, Wellington. Mr Gibbons will be greatly missed in athletic circles, for he was ever to the front in all such matters. He leaves for Wellington next week.

Of the five cases of fever at the Hospital the only one belonging to Napier is a mild attack of typhoid. Of the other four, one is from Dunedin, one from Chesterhope, one from Hastings, and ono from Friiuley 1 . It is just as well to mention this, as an impression might be created that all the casies at the hospital were due to the unhealth'iness of the town. We are glad to hear that Mr Fredericks, who was shot in the hand while marking at the recent N.Z. Rifle Association's meeting at Puketapu, is progressing favorably. MiGardiner, who was removed, to the Hospital on his arrival from Dunedin suffering from typhoid fever, is convalescent, and will soon be able to return to his home.

Our Hastings correspondent writes as follows :—" Owing to tho stormy weather on Monday evening, the meeting announced of the members of the Hastings Gymnasium Club did not take pli>ce. It was postponed until this (Wednesday) evening, when a large attendance may be expected. The chief object is to consider the best method of raising funds for the salary of an instructor."

The local corps and band will assemble at the Garrison Hall this evening for Government inspection. The parade is called for 7 o'clock, which will count as a daylight parade, ro we would i -sre indiy'dual members to roll up in time to ensure a twothirds' muster, for if "daylights" are not put in at the commencement of the year, experience tenches the difficulty in gaining efficiency for the majority of the strength towards its close.

Many children attending tho side school leave home very early in the morning, and in rainy weather there is no shelter for them until the school goes in. The result is that in waiting about the grounds for the doors to open many of the scholars get wet. A member of the School Committee referred to thi* matter last night, and it was resolved that in wet weather the caretaker should open the doors half an hour earlier than i}Bua],

The City Baud give the following programme in the rotunda this evening in aid of the fund for the wido <c of the late Roderick Matheson : — Quick march, " Palmer House" (Pettee) ; overture, " '-'Intrepide" (Bousuquier) ; grand selection " lolanthe " (Sullivan) ; vulse, " Fairy Voices" (Growe) ; lancers, " Marry Songs " (Newton) ; mazurka, " Myrtlm " (Marie) ; " God Save the Queen." Collection boxes will be placed at tho various gates.

At the last meeting uf the Wanganui Education Board, the chairman of a committee, wrote, "So far as my jurisdiction extends, I would faithfully exercise the function of controlling and supervising ' the regulation period of company keeping on the part of young lady teachers,' if such a regulation bo adoptod" by the Board." He suggested that one month should be the limit with one beau, but forgot to limit the number of beaux.

The natives at Samoa have given a feast in honor of the Chief Justice.' His Honor's first work on his arrival was the preparation of the electoral roll for tho municipal elections on the 30th of January. In an address to, the natives the Judge declared that Malietoa was (he King, and that no other person would bo recognised in that position by the Great Powers. He also said that the people would soon be asked to pay taxes but they would not be greater $hn,n iyere necessary.

Apropos of Florence, rumor in that locality (so Woman says) relates a delicious* tale anent tho purchase by tho Queen of two Florentine dogs. Her Mfijesty wished them to be called by names which would connect them with her stay at the Villa Palmieri. " Aweel, your Majesty," said the keeper of the dogs, "why not call them Paul and Mary?" "Paul and Mary," snid tho Queen ; '' what have thoso names to do with Florence or tho villa?" "Well, your Majesty, is not the villa called 'Paul Mary !' "

The other day, whilst engaged in discharging tho cargo of a timber-ship at a port in tho South of Ireland, the men struck for higher wages, which the owners of the carco conceded, Later in the nay a member of the firm went down to the ship to see how matters stood. Ho found the work going on all right, but failed to recognise the faces of the men. On ouquirv it turned out. that tho gang who had struck and got tho advance re-let the job to other men at the old rate, and then re'ired to a neighboring public-house to liquidate the unearned increment.

The following is from Saturday's Wung*nui Herald :—" A model gospel sermon will bo preached on the reclaimed land, Taupo Quay, to-moirow afternoon at 1 o'clock by Dr Chalmers, who is son-iu-laiv to tho late Rev. Dr Grierson. Ho has preached for Fresbyterians, Motbodists, Baptists, etc , the last discourse being in a Presbyterian Church, when the congregation assembled was tho largest for a year back. Dr Chalmers has just been discharged from the Hospital, whero ho has been under treatment for fracture of both arms, and he leaves on Mouday for Oroua Bridge.''

There are in the United States at the present time about a score of lady parsons, the best known preachers amoug whom aro thr Row Florence Kollock, of Chicago ; the Rev Maggie Elliott, of Arrowsmith, 111. ; the Very B.ov. Dean Anna Oliver, and the Venerable Archdeacon Phcobe Ham ford I suppo»o (says a New York writer) that in course of time we shall be treated to ih--sight of a female bishop, whft Vv'cV'U bo decidedly moro at Jmmo in the lawn si. eves, black silk iio.se, and black satin rochet thai the present diocesan chiefs. The relatively snail number of wo,ra,e\> who have adopted the clerical profession seems to 69 chiefly due to the lack of any ppeoial desire for female ecoiesiautjes. It is thei ladies themselves who aro responsible for this. It has been suggested that their disinclination to have preachers of their own sex is duo to the fact thut they find it impossible to st still aud to listen without interruption or retort ot the remarks of another woman.

The Education Departmpnt lave issued a circular which has been posted up in the Napier schools, which state that the payment of the auarterly fee of sixpence is not compulsory. As a consequence, some of the children who have seen the notice have nit brouarht the usual fee. This fact was commented upon last evening at the School Committee meeting, and it was pointed out that the fee was still collected at other schools throughout the district. The sum obtained through this means is a cons'derable addition to the committee's revenue, and it was decided to continue the collection of the quarterly subsciptian.

Bro. N. Craig was given a complimentary dinner last evening by Court Redcliffe, A.0.F., at Ryan's Hotel, Taradale. A good number were present, Host Ryan providing a first-class repast. Mr Craig's health was heartily drunk, and complim.'ut.ary references were made to the servicos ho had always been ready to give for various purposes. While the Taradale folk regretted his departure, they trusted that in his new sphere (Wellington) he w-nuld succeed as well as he had done at Taradale. Various toasts wore proposed and honored, and many of the company contributing songs, a sociable evening was passed. Surely it is an odd coincidence that the " purging " of the Parnellite party should have taken nlace on the very anniversary of the day—December 6, 1648—when "the friend? of one Oliver Cromwell " pursed " the Parliament of that time. Colonel Pride, however, used force, seizing fortyone of the Presbyterian members, and sending them to a low room then called " Hell," leaving that very select body of Independents who compassed the death of King Charles Smart and ruled England till 1653". V/e will not take this as an omen of the f;ite of the uucrowned King Charles Stewart (Parnell), and who are the " Rump " of the Irish Parliamentary Party time alone must decide.—Daily Telegraph.

Mr _ Macarthur's statements of things financial are pretty accurate. As a rule, when the member for Raugitikei makes a discovery in the Treasury it certainly U not a mare's nest that he announces. When he told us the other night, during the debate, that there would be in a few weeks a little wind fall, half a million, the proceeds of some conversion operations now pending, he said probably what was quite correct. Whether he was equally correct in savins: that the Government would use the handsome little sum for the purpose of buying support to make things cafe, remains to bo seen. Mr Macarthur, with a large experience on one side of the House, seemed to take it for granted that this is what the other side would do. For the present wo can all feel delighted that the money will be there.--N. Z. Times.

The Board of Agriculture proposes the appointment of a widely representative and responsible body under whose direction all examinations in dairy work should in future be held. In the absence of such a provision for uniform tests, the Board have hitherto felt themselves unable to accede to applications for aid on behalf of certain existing examinations, or even to recognise officially the value of any particular examination which may be held. It is proposed that tho new examining body should bo drawn from all the leading societies in any way interested in the matter. An official letter recommending this project has been sent by Mr. Chaplin to the Royal Agricultural Society, and the dairy committee of that sociot}' have agreed that some such examining body as is suggested is desirable. The examiners would be empowered to grant diplomas and also certificates, not only for scientific but also for purely practical qualifications, and their awards would be recognised by tho Board of Agriculture.— Home News.

At a meeting of the Auckland Presbytery last night, the e'erk, the Rev. Mr Sommerville, reported that some time ago a man named Warren had applied for a charge under the Presbytery, and had sent in a teatimoni -.1 setting out that he had received the degree of D.D. in tho centre college of the Presbyterian Church of the United States, and had been ordained to the ministry of that church. He (Mr Sommervi le) wroto to the people and places mentioned, and received replies stating that the credential was not genuine. Mr Warren-had -asked for the return of his testimonials, saying that he was about to remove to the South. He was informed that the matter had been laid before the Presbytery, but that the request for the return of his papers had taken the ease out of their hands. The Rev. Mr Monro said that Mr Warren had been at Gisborne and had conducted service there in a very acceptable manner. Apparently the last heard of him was at Napier. Those present thanked Mr Sommerville for his action.

At the time of the last election a story wag abroad concerning two settlerc near Manaia, one of whom on polling day was assisting the other to work sheep on the farm. It so happened that A was strong in the M'Guire interests, whilst B was a staunch supporter of Sir liany, and they made it up between themselves that, as it would waste considerable time io go to M-maia to record their votes, they both should stick to their work and pair off, and n< ither vote would count. After dinner A said ho would require to bring in the rest of the sheep ; he wouldn't be long, and B could go on with his work in the yard in the meantime. A went, but managed alsi to get as far as Manaia, and, being there, thought it a pity not to record his Jvote. The deed waa done, and, upon arriving home again, he never mentioned the little fact. Bin the evoning also found his way to Manaia, and, in talking over the amvnee-m-nits made that day between A and himself, what was his chagrin to discover himself sold. B has since declared that he never thoroughly appreciated the demoralising effect of New Zealand politics until this incident opened his eyes.—Hawera Star.

The other day a free-and-easy fellow took one of the pigeons in St. Paul's Churchyard, London, on the ground that the pigeons were public property. He found he was mistaken. They aro the property of the Dean in trust for tho public The other day (says a correspondent), I had an interesting five minutes with the particularly pleasant policeman whose beat is in the churchyard, and who keeps a sharp eyo on the pigeons. The officer in question has walked that grim beat for some twontyseven years, and he knows almost every pigeon of the two hundred. "The pigeons," said the officer, " have a humanizing influence on hundreds of City urchins who come here by the fountain and eat their bit of dinner. Many a mother gives her boy a handful of corn to feed the birds in order to send him to the churchyard and nrevent his consorting with the wicked and precocious youth who haunt the City. You'l\ bo surprised when I toll you that \;& have visitors from the East-end' Sunday after Sunday— not bird-catchers, neither, though they do pay us a visit now and then. But, bless you, I cau tell 'em with half an eye, their eyes being so shifty, though thoy never move their heads, which aro as still as that bitof stone there. But their ej'es are all over the shop. They do say that naughty boys steep peas iv gin, make the birds dfuul; and incapable, and then run 'em in."

A naval officer, settled in New Zealand, has sent us tho following letter: —" fri.rje months ago a benevolent lady svldrossed you on the subject; of sendioe;- a medical woman to New Zealand, to. arrest, if possible, the dying out oi cur intorestimr th.a Maoris. Might Ibo allowed to s.n.sg.osi thai there is a much more in- : tereating race in the -jolony, the AnirloSason, which is not dying out, for'the population is rapidly increasing, in spite of the exodus of the working man, but there is a vast amount of precentible human, suffering among women and children in the colony. It costs £7 -~;0s. ia fetch a doctor for one visit \o, tlae, piat-a whence I write, a country s'attlsmant on the east coast; the Ii result is, that when a person is apparently on the point of death, a doctor is sent &r, very of teu too late.

Should this meet the oyo of a lady doctor, in doubt whither to go, she is invited to communicate with the above-named lady. I may add that the population which would bo conveniently attended to by a doctor here | is 600 or 700, including Maoris, subject to a rapid increase through the development o.f ! a local industry, and that the offer T m-tde, j through Miss Jex-Blake, M.D., would secure a well assured position' fof any qualified medica\ Vfoitiau accepting it," Queen, Soino amusing stories of tho manners and customs of the Australian aborigines wero told by several colonists at the meeting of the Koyui Colonial Institute. Mr Heuniker Heaton, for instance, amused the audience by telling of a missionary who came to Queensland lo inculcate a higher ' anity, without rewards for attondauco. King Billy, with a brass plato, was told off to interview the mi u Munary wish newfangled notions, and Mr Heaton says tho following dialogue ensued .-—Jung Billy; " No more 'baccy f"- Missionary : •• No " King Billy: "No more blanket ?"—Missionary ; "No." King Billy : "No more rum?" — MissiuiHi-y : "No; no more bribery " King Billy, drawing himself v-> to his full height, and with sceru, marched a'.vay with ihis parting shot: "All viuht ' k'ood day ;no more Alleluia !"
