To the Electors signing the above Requisition — Gentlemen— l have received your requisition, and beg to thank you for the honor, while assenting to it. I feel that you are placing in me very great confidence. You may feel assured that whatever energy or ability 1 possess I will use for the benefit of this city, aud of the colony as a whole.

Z O THE ELECTORS OF THE TE ARO DISTRICT. fi ENTLEMEN-In response to numerous VJT inquiries I intend to solicit your support at the coming election for the House of Kepresentatives, and in order to save time I come direct'y before you professing my opinions. I am not the nominee ot any j bank, or any firm, or any person. j We are a,t a orinis in the history of the colony, and a momentous issue is committed to the decision of the electorates. Pour subjects force themselves into prominence, namely, Taxation, Land, Immigration, and Local Industries. For the ex'ettn? unequal j system of indirect taxation I would gradually ' substitute : — 1. A Land Tax in a graduated or progressive form, but modified in favor of productive holdings of moderate extent. 2. A tax on incomes exceeding a minimum, to bo fixed by Act. 3. A smaU export duty on wool. I consider the Property Tax nnjust, inexpedient, discouraging to capital, and absolutely tatal to the rise of local industries — the prime want of We lington. I disapprove the system of free pauper immigration, but would hold out inducements to the influx of small capitalist farmers. Increased productive occupation of our lands is absolutely essential to the continued solvency ot the colony j and without this increase the North Island is now politically at the mercy of the South. The ultimate is3ue of existing taxation, if continued, must te the disappearance of the middle class — a calamity poiitical, economic, and social. I aj.pn>ve the present system of primary education, but the Act requires modification, and is too expensively administered. I disapprove special taxation of cur Civil Servants. I shall take an early opportunity of personally explaining my principles. J. H. SHAW. Ist October, 1881. TO THi'!

In making the fire a little coal should be used first, and then the coke on top. In renewing the fire, rako out the ashes, put a little coal (slack will do very well), then place coke or the cinders on top ; the coke should be not larger than an egg, and will burn better if damped ; coke and coal should be mixed together for a range. If, instead of throwing on half a scnttlefull at a time, the coke (foi a grate fire) is put on piece by piece with the tongs, it will repay the trouble, giving a clean brilliant fire, and throwing a much greater heat than coal alone, and at much ess cost. May bo had of all coal dealers and wholesale and retail at the Well gton, Coke and Coal Depot. Tory-street. i
