Evening Post. MONDAY, MARCH 11, 1895 THE SHOPS AND SHOP ASSISTANTS AOT

Thi vigilanoe of the Inspector under the Shops and Shop Assistants Aot, as eremplifiud in the proseouWons on Friday last, deserves the warmest oommendation. It is evident that h« is determined to enforoo the provisions of tbe law to the" utmost without fear, favour, affeotion, or respeot of persons or oiroumstanoes. No exouses will plaoato him, andnooiroumstanoei extenuate what appears to be a breaoh of the striot letter of tbe law. People may die or suffer for want of medioines, but the ohemiit and

druggist must give himself a holiday an reqnired by law. So with everything else. This is undoubtedly the right and proper spirit in which such an Aot should be administered. It should be enforoed to the bitter end, regardless of aonaeqnenaes. Th« more unreasonable the provisions under it the more are they in accordance, not only with the Aot it°elf, but with the general spirit of the legislation of whioh it is a simple. We sincerely hope that the Inspector will go on with his good work in the spirit he has begun in, and that he will proseouto everyone all round. 'Ihere is ample scope for his energy, because there ia scarcely a shopkeeper who claims exemption who oannot be caught on some point or other. The Inspector should lose no time in making all fruiterers and fishmongers supply him with a detailed list of the 'articles they sell, so that be may be quite sure tbat they do not deal in any goods not strictly within their exemption. Thon ho should seek the highest scientific anthorities to determine such questions as whnther oysters are fish, tomatoes fruit, or mutton pies oonfectionery. We should suggest tbat on these points he might seek the aid of the Philosophical Society and Mr. MaskelTj. He should also bo careful to soo tbat book stalls do not sell stationery ; and, as we have already pointed ont, he should take immediate steps to prevent the flagrant violation of the law by licensed victuallers, who openly sell temperance drinks in their bora, anch sale being manifestly as illegal as that of tobacoo, cigars, «r cigarettes. Fruiterers cannot, of course, any longer be permitted to sell oream or sugar with their strawberries. Another point on which the Inspector should be very alert is to see that no ono not of New Zealand or Enropean extraction benefits by the exemptions under the Aot He should insist that overy shopkenper keeping open on Wednesdays shall produae a copy of his mother's marriage " lines " and his own certificate of birth. In no other way can the dread possibility of someone of Australian, or Canadian, or American extraction selling goods in a shop on Wednesday afternoons bo avoided. Striot enquiry regarding the descent and family connections of all shopkeepers is evidently necessary. If the Act is striotly enforoed, as it undoubtedly should be, and as we are glad to see at least one Inspector is determined it shall be. New Zealand will be a delightful place to live in . The people will soon find out that they must not even get ill out of proper hours, and their happiness will then become so overwhelming that, with the natural perversity of human nature, they will revolt, and by a mighty effort fren themselves at onoe of Aot, Ministry, and Inspectors, destroying the whole of the machinery so benevolently devised for their good.

The Woodville Examiner is very indignant with the looal member, Mr. Hall, because, although appropriations were made last session of Parliament for no less than nine different public works in the district, only three have been commenced, and the votes for the othor six lapse with the end of the financial year. The Examiner should know tlmtsiichimoiporiouca ib quite aooinmonone. Voles are put on the Estimates ts satisfy members or thoir constil vents, but without tho slightest intention of doing the work or spending the money. 'Ihon tho works are dangled axain, like a bnnoh nf carrots, in tho following HBBBion. All these la}>3od votes, also, will bo taken oredit for by the Government as savings in the expenditure, and the amounts will ito to Bwell tho fictitious surplus which will shortly, no doubt, be made a boast of. The Woodville district is more fortunate than many others if it has really secured the expenditure of throe votes ont of nine. On the fourth pago we print sporting, bowling, and cricket news, ro3ults of Saturday's swimming Eports, and an account of the opening of tho Wellington Navala' new boathoUsC. Sir Robert Stout's nddre°s to bis Wellington constituents is to be delivered in tho Opora House to-night. Tho Major will preside The Wairarapa. Star concurs in the opinions we have expressed regarding Longmans' Geographical Reader. Mr. O'Regan, M H.R., has resumed editorial control of the Inangahua Times. The German warship Bustard sailed for Sydney shortly before 3 o'olook on Saturday alternoon. The following absurd paragraph appears in the Oamaru Mail : — tl Not only docs one of M. Fauro's daughters aot as his private secretary, but ono of Sir W Vernon Haroourt's sons acts for .Sir William in the same capacity. Snch evidences of tho ' epoilß to the victors ' should bo put down, but neither France nor Great Britain has such an honest Opposition as that which honours Now Zealand with its bright, pure precepts — for observance by other people." Neither M. Faure's daughter nor Sir W. Vernon Haroourt's son, however, draws any salary from the State. If their parents employ their servioes it is without cost to the public No ono would object to tbe Hon. John M'Kenzio employing his son, or his sisters, or his cousins, or his aunts, if he paid them out of his own pocket. What an hones: Opposition objects to is their being paid out of the publio taxation. The Chief Jnstioe. on behalf of tbe Court of Appeal, gave judgment this morning in the case of Cattell against the New Zealand Land Settlement Company, a suit regarding land in the Paramata Block, near Gisborne. Judgment was given for the respondent company, dismissing the appeal with ooßta. Messrs. Edwards and Skerrett were for the appellant, and Messrs. G. Hntcbison and Gully for the respondent company. Mr. Bragato, tbe Victorian vitioultnrUt, coußiders Banks' Peninsula admirably adapted for growing vines for wine and brandy-making purposes. Late on Saturday night Sergt. -Major R»moay ; accompanied by Constables Lister and Smith, visited all the hotels at Petone, but found nothing to justify him in laying any informations uuder tbe Licensing Aot. Mr. Gully, Crown Proseontor, returned from Wanganui on Saturday, and will prosecute for the Crown in the cases remaining on the criminal calendar at the present sittings of the Supreme Court. Messrs. Hallenstein & Co. have seonred the contraot for the supply of uniform oaps to the Railway Department. Messrs. ltoss and Glendining are the successful tenderers for the supply of uniforms for the HurnnuiBluff seotion. The members of the Wellington Cyoling Club had a run round the Queen's Drive on Saturday afternoon, and found the road in very Batisfaotory order for ( oyo'ing. Captain Todd, Colonial Superintendent of the Tyser Line'in New Zealand, and Mr. W. Nelson, of Nelson Bros., passed through Wellington by the Monowai on Friday, on the way to Adelaide, where they , join tlm s.s. Austral for London. They are bound on tbe business of their oompanfes. Captain East, Marine' Superintendent of the Tyser Company, will temporarily take Captain Todd's place. . .L - - -.. . _ In Auckland, shopkeepers are discharging assistants "and engaging errand boys, or arranging to pay commission instead of salary, so as to avoid the provisions of the Shops and Shop Assistants' Aot. Tbere was a large orowd on the wharf on Saturday evening to see off the members of the Opera Company. The Rotomahana went cut at 9 o'olook hharp, Messrs. S.

The quarterly meeting of the Wellington Branch of the New Zealand Educational Institute was held in Rxohango Buildings on Saturday morning. Mr. 3. J. Pilkington, President, in tho ohair.

The question of oon.tinning the annual " social " was deferred till next meeting. It was resolved—" That this Institute expresses a hope that the oiroular dated 14th September, 1894, does not refer to pupil teachers in the Board's service," Mr. Charles Hulke made some interesting remarks and experiments op milk testing, for whioh ho was given a very hearty vote of , thanks. At tbe inquest held by 'the Coroner as to the death at the Asylum of the girl ' Amy Beatrice Cowlriok, reported on Saturday, the medical evidenoe showed that death *was dne-fco opilßperr tefffHiofi Hie^deoeasod was very subject Tbe jury, of whioh Mr. W.

Shtimski, of Oamarn, was recently the reoipient of a silver tea and ooffee service, presented by the Chinese residents of the North-road. The presentation was made by Mr. W. Ah Tong. The gift indicated the esteem in .whioh Mr. bbrimski ia held by the Chinese residents of the place, and this is due to the action Mr. bbrimski took in the Legislative Counoil in defence of what he oonside ed to be the right* of strangers in a strange land, and for the sympathy he has always extended to aliens. Ihe gift, Mr. Shriinski said, was not expected, but he would treasnre it, although ho could not understand that a poiitioian deserved a gif tfor what was simply tbe performance of a duty he owed to humanity generally. The country should be open and free, and afford protection to everyone who came to it and who desired to liva honestly and oooording to its laws. The funeral of the late Mrs. Barraud, which took place at 9 o'clock this morning, was attended by a large and representative gathering. The body was taken to St. Paul's Pro-Cathedral, where service was oonduoted by the Rev. T. H. Sprott, and from thence the procession made its way to the Bolton-streot cemetery.

M. Van de Velde informs us that he will ba pleased to send a copy of the brochure gratia to anyone interested on receipt of a penny stamp for its postage. j> Of tbe Shops and Shop Assistants Aot, tbe Timarn Herald writes : — Again we say, let us have the whole of this preoionn law in all its deformity. The sham division of shops should not be tolerated for a moment ; the publicans Bhould be prosecuted for not closing if they continue to sell tobacco and non-intoxicating drinks; and an information should be laid against each business man who does not close his offioe on Saturday afternoons, and does not in other respeots strictly comply with the provisions of thar Aot. We hold that in demanding this general and impartial administration of tbe law we are displaying truer liberalism than can bo" 1 boaetod of by those who make fish of one and flesh of another— who pasß a drastio and tyrannical measure, and then relax it or press it home as politioal expediency appears to demand. The Weatport Coal Company (saya the Otago Daily Times) are endeavouring to establish a foreign trade in Westport ooal, and are arranging to send an experimental cargo to San Franoißoo, Tho Hon. H. J.

The land is adjacent to the mainstreets of Petone, and also- adjoins the grounds of the Agricultural and Pastoral Association. It has the advantage of being quite level and at the same time free from flood*. The arrangements now being made respecting drainage, water, and liuhting, should make Petone most attrac tire as a place of. residence.

This la»t sign will undoubtedly enable many a one to bear with equanimity the change from the warmth and light of summer to the less cheerful winter time, for we make bold to Bay that there is not a lady in Wellington who would not view with delight the prospeot of woaring any of the new and beautiful goods now being displayed in snch profusion at Te Aro House. Nevek before has a display been made so charming in its variety, and in the beauty of tho matoiiolß and the novelty of the articles shown. It, thorofore, becomo* almost tho duty of every lady who desires to know and see what is now being worn in tbe centres of fashion at Home, to visit without dolay the wonderfnl Bhow of new autumn goods now to be seen at Te Aro House. — Advt. The proper method of treating aluminium to make it fit for manufacturing purposes is but a recent discovery, and for making any kind of bollowware or oooking utensils it is certainly the metal of tho fnture. It is extremely light; has great strength, iH noncorrosive, and has the remarkable property of retaining heat (that is not radia ing it). These properties combine in making it peonliarly adapted for any cooking utensils. Messrs.
