This distressing nnd dnngorous disease is readily controlled with Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

Re(ovory is complete, and you escape the nfter-nffet'ts of the disease.

biikness especially good musing was csMhitinl, nnd that flood nursing wn* not nvniliblo* for a very largo number of our people. He had received a rommunioiti<>a ft 0111 G'oinmi&.sjonor M"Cuy, of tinSalvation Army, London, Mating that ho had rend the f-ynoptiiN oi his Social Jill I with the grcnlest npnieoialiun, while the London Kxpre^ h.id asked him ior an article- on the Sialo nurses' scheme, in which great inleiert was tuken in London. That, said Mr Secldon. hhowed that oulsido our colony this was regarded as a mntter of importance, and tho more it was gono into the more they would we could be done in tho wwar3 r of pieserving life nnd in ameliorating Ihe condition of suffering humanity. And if in this respect, as iv many others, Now Zealand took the lend, it was to tho people nnd to th« press of the colony, and to those who had received his immature suggestions that, 'they must rely for carrying the project to a successful" iume. (Applause.) He was plen.sed to notice that lecruJring for the Naval Reserve had been most satisfactory in New Zealand. The men so enrolled Mould, niter their leun of srrvico, be valuable in nn emeigency should it arifeo ; they never knevi when an emergency would nribe, and it was their bounded duty to be ever ]>ropared. (Applause.) What had occurred in tho Far East was an object-lesson to thorn all. He expressed ncv opinion as between the Japanese and tho Russians, but if Japan could thiow tho&o large bodies of troops on to distant points,, and more difficult than cither Australia or New Zealand, within so short a time, he asked tho question, if the 1 difference was with tho British Empire, whore would New Zealand nnd Australia be under the circuuwtanocs. (Applause.) The bulwark of the nation was the British fleet, and from what had occurred in tho Far East he would bo prepared to again suggest to tho Imperial Government to still further HrongUicn our naval, defences. (Applauso.) Referring to Samoa, tho Premier again expressed regret at the lack of foresight displayed by v tho Imperial Government in nob acting on his suggestion not to transfer our rights over that island to Qcrmnny, and ho ntaled that the appointment of tho Now Hebrides Joint Commission was made at his suggestion. (Applause.) lie would have liked to say more on that occasion, but restrictions had been placed upon him. He trusted, however, that ho had said sufficient tp warrant them in coming to tho conclusion that ho was fit to take his position ns hend of tho Government doring tho coming session. New Zealand held to-day in tho civiltecd world a proud porition. lie wished to maintain that position, nnd ho wished our kindred in every part of ('the Empire to feel that the strongest buttress of thu Empire is New Zenland. For the future, ho remarked in conclusion, ho would have to "hasten slowly." There- was a .great deal yet remained to be accomplished, and he must ask them to benr with him and assist him, nnd to hope, with him, that the prcecnt prosperity and' happy conditions might, continue, and that the good froHng now existing might last us long as life itself. (Loud and Jong-con-tinued applause.) Sir James Prondorgasl, in proposing "The Parliament of New Zealand," aaia thcio could bo no doubt that the members of both Houses wero the ropreKcntatives citber directly or indirectly of all tho pcoplo of the colony, and it was fitting on such an occasion to ovinco tlVir recognition of a faithful und diligent dischnrgo of oiicroun nnd responsible public duties. (Applau/Kj.) Tlie to«6t wag drunk with musical honours. The Hon. A. Pitt, in replying, said that nlihoujfh in 'i his colony tho members of tho Lcginalive Couueil were not directly e!ftoi;<! l»y the people, they wero none tho loft the ropracnthtives ot tho people, socing that tlu«y mow apuoinled by tUo Governor 011 llie advice of his louponaib!o udviu'rs, who would not occupy that poauion unlovs tiioy had the confidence of the people. That the Council was reprcAtifiulivc of the people was shown by the fact that thoro hnd been nothing in tk« tihiipo of deadlocks between tho two Houses. (Applause.) ( , Sir Joseph Ward also responded. So one, ho enid, would bo more ploiNwd at tGe Premier's restoration to health (him the menibors of the House of J<eprei*entulivos, and all would n*sist him m carrying out hia responsible- duties. (Applause.) Mr. A. W. Hogg, M.8.U., proposed "Ihe Agricultural, Commercial, and Alwiufncturmg Interests of #*w Zealand." It depouded on thoao intereafca entirely, ho said, whether tho colony was to bo properly developed, and during tho Premier's term of office neither of those interests hod suffoied. (Hefty, hear.) Tho farmers had never ocomJi«d a better position tliau nt present, nnd in no part of tho worlJ had the labouring dosses hnd 11 bettor opportunity of getting on to the land limn during tho past twelve years. The Hon. T. Y. Duncan, iv replying, s-aid when ho started on tho land there was no Government to give farmers assistance: Since then, however, the Agricultural Department had been started, with amsaing^ result* ; and the settlers now were enjoyiug considerable prosperity. It was augifosted that price* would not contiuue to bo so good, but he did not belleva it. England iUulf wouW tflke all tho sheep wo ha.vo, and if they were all sent at onco they would only last Ihe pcoplo nt Home for seven months. (Applause. ) Mr. A. C. "Whitney (Auckland) and Mr. C. M. Lako also replied. Tho last toast wns "Tho Chairman," proposed by tho Premier, who remarked that tho names of Kennedy Macdonuld and tho City of Wellington were, almost synonymous terms. (Applause.) Tho toast was heartily drunk with mu«ical honours. Tho Chairman having replied (remarking that tho credit of tlio gathering was duo to Mr. Culver and the members of tho committee), tho evening concluded wifch tho singing: of "Auld Lang Syne" and the National Anthom. During the evening songs woro sung uy Messrs. K. J. Hill, A. W. Newton, and J. F. Andrews, nnd Mr. Mel. B. Spuir gavo some very accoptablo items from his abundant repertoire. Minifio's Band gave tl>eir' services and played several enjoyable dejections. , My. J. Godbor provided an excellent supper. The executive committee consisted of Dr. Findlay, Ron. T. X: Macdonald, and Messrs. t). J. Nathan, 11. Beauohmnp, JR. Arnold, «nd*W. J. Culver (hon. sec.).
