We have the honor to be Your most obedient servants, M. Quin G. V. Shannon John Plimmer Wm. Mitchell E. Seager A. Barlow W. Barnard R. P. Collina James Mitchell Geo. Leslie R. B. Haybittle Geo.

To the Electors signing tho 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 feol assured that whatever energy or ability 1 possess I will use for the benefit of this city, and of the colony as a whole. So soon as the Representation Bill becomes law, I will publish an address, in which will be expressed the views I entertain upon tho leading political questions of tho day. I remain, Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, E. STAFFORD. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE TE ARO DISTRICT. /~^ ENTLEMEN— In response to numerous vTT inquiries I intend to solicit your support at the coming election for the House of Representatives, and in order to save time I come directfy before you professing my opinions. I am not tho nominee ot any bank, or any firm, or any person. We are at a crisis in the history of the colony, and a momentous issue is committed to the decision of tho electorates. Four subjects force themselves into prominence, namely, Taxation, Land, Immigration, and Local Industries. For the ex'mting unequal system of indirect taxation I wonld 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 be fixed by Act. 3. A small export duty on wool. I coneider the Property Tax unjust, inexpedient, discouraging to capital, and absolutely fatal to the rise of local industries — the prime want of Wellington. I disapprove tho system of free pauper immigration, but would hold out inducements to the iuflux of small capitalist farmers. Increased productive occupation of our lands is absolutely essential to the continued solvency of the colony ; and without this increase the North Island i 3 now politically at the mercy of tho South. The ultimate iaauo of existing taxation, if continued, must V c the disappearance of tho middle class — a calamity political, economic, and social. I approve the present system of primary education, but the Act requires modification, and is too expensively administered. I disapprove special taxation of our Civil Servants. I shall take an early opportunity of personally explaining my principles. J. H. SHAW. Ist Octobor, 1881.

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