OUR AUSTRALIAN LETTER [Fboh Gob Special ConaEspoNmsNT.] '■ SYDNEY, October 23. LOCAL OPTLON IN NEW SOUTH I WALES. After much stone-walling on the part of Labor members, the new Licencing Bill has been got through the Lepslative Assembly of New South Wales. On tho quesi lion of giving notice of the closing of hotels, an important concession had to be made by the Government, evidently on the ground of expediency. The Ministry from the outset ck-terinwied that there should be nothing in the shape of money compensation for the abolition of licenses, but in cider that opposition to the measure might ' lie broken down it was arranged that the notice to dispossessed licensees should,' where kmgj leasjs existed, be extended from three fo eight years. I The Attorney-General caused much con- | s-tcntsit.'on to tho temperance advocates and smug satisfaction, among the friends of the publican when he announced that tho GoI vt-ranjcjit had decided that bouses with clean records should have extended notice in certain circumstances. The clause relating to closing was to provide that when a special court made an inquiry and determined upon a reduction, a liotel with a cjean record was entitled to an extension of license for a maximum of three yeara. If, however, there was an existing lensofor more than that period, tliere was to be an extension of license accordingly up to a maximum of eight years. The leases must be bona fido ones already in existj ence, and if within the eight years they ! ran out the licenses would itiso go. Though j on principle this cancuskm could not be ' irsstfied, it had to be accepted, in order j that a valuable instalment of Local Option might not bo jeopardised. Tlten, instead of a two-thirds majori'ty for reduction being effective, the Temperance party bad to be satisfied with one of three-filths. An amendment for a simple majority was defeated. The Bill originally provided that half the electors should go to ihi- poll before voting could be of any avail, but the Government came down with a proposal that there should be a majority representing 30 per cent, af those on the roll, and this was also accepted. A matter of satisfaction to both sidrs was that clubs were put on the same footing l as hotels. For the proper carrying out of the Local Option principle this provision was demonstrated to be mdis|>ensable; otherwise, when a hotel was closed, the expressed desire of the electors might be frustrated by tho starting of a bogus club to take the place of the closed house. Members of the Government fire now oonfidmt that tho Bill will bo accepted by the Legislative Council. At one time it was feared that the brewing interest would be too strong for the measure to pass, as it did not contain any provis'on for monetary compensation when licenses are takm away. Now, however, that tho important concession in regard to time has been made, it is expected that there will be no difficulty in getting the measure through the other Chamber. While the president of the New South Wales Alliance (Rev. Canon Boyee) is deeply disappointed at tho concession mode to the trade in the shape of the eight years' notice, he is of opinion tliat the B:I1 has been greatly improved by the reduction of the majority required for NoHcerrse from two-fifths to three-fifths. It is also satisfactory that a bare majority is to settle the question of a reduction in the number of licraises, and that wine shops and clubs are to be subject to the Local Option principle the same as hotels. As to Sunday trading and setting after, hours, Canon Boyoe points out that it is a distinct advance of tho temperance cause that the onus of proof should be transferred from the police to the publicans a*nd persons found in bars during prohibited periods. The provision as to only one bar being allowed for each hotel will remove one of the greatest evils in connection with the liquor trade. There is only too good reason to suppose that private bars, especi ally thof.'e upstairs, lave often been user! for immoral purposes. "On the whole," fays Mr W. Robson, M.L.C., the president" of the Prohibition party, " I look upon the Bill as a substantial advance in the direction urged by temperance people for many years. Hitherto we have been fighting in shackles, just like a man trying to run in leg-irons, but now we will have the opportunity of forcing an expression of public opinion in connection with the political events of the day at parliamentary elections." As to the unexpected concossion regarding the extension of doomed Ucenses for eight, years, Mr Robson says:—" As I understand the matter when a local option vote is carried—say, for either ' no-license' or reduction of licenses—if the Licensing Court finds that on August 24 last there was either a written lease, or written agreement, for a lease for an unexpired term of not less than three years, or for a more extended period, such license sihall not cease for a period of eight years from the date of the passing of the Aat. If the local option vote is carried for either no-license or reduction of license, tbe license shall not cease for a term of eight years in the case of the licenseeowner. The important point is, bow many of the existing licenses will come under the provisions of this amended clause? So fur as I can understand, there is no reliable information on that point, and we there- > fore cannot even conjectcro what will be the extent to which this amendment will be practically operative.'' It is the opinion of Mx Robson that in the near future a great advance will be made in tho temperance movement The fruits of years of agitation are now being realised, and the weight of woman franchise will be thrown more and more against the evils of the liquor traffic as time goes on. The Bill in its present form is the immediate result of

granting votes to women, who have ever been on the side of temperance. J Mr John Ashton, general secretary of the United Licensed Victuallers' Association, declares that the amendments which have been secured constitute a decisive win f'.ir , the trade. At the same time there are some " iniquitous clauses," which it is hoped! will l>e -eliminated in the Upper House. The basis on which a graded scale of license fiies has been drawn up is objected io, and it is considered that there should be heavier voting than 30 per cent, of the electors to make a poll effective. lit is represented that a percentage of 75 would be a fair thing. and that before so much, onus is placed upon publicans in regard' to the regulation of the traffio the whole matter should be judicially considered by a Royal Commission. The "one-bar" clause is strongly objected to, on the gTOund) of the inconvenience; that will result in big hotels. It means not only that structural alterations will have to be made in most hotel buildings, but 2,000 women will be throwrn nut of employment. " If," says Mr Arfiton, " the public and private bars are combined, men only will be employed. ;ind tile barmaids will have to go. It is contended by the Temperance party that a bar is no place for a woman, but we have yet to learn from the well-meaning but misinformied ladies of that party what they will do with the girls tlirown upon an already overcrowded labor market." As to the eight vcars term of grace, Mr Ashton points out that tb;re are many hotel-keepers who have jjaid for leases of twenty-one years' tenun and longer, and they run a risk of losing a balance of leases which they havejwid considerable sums to secure. A TIMELY WORD FROM LORD JFIRSEY. Loud. Jersey, a former Governor of New South Wales, is at present on a visit to Australia, and in the course of an interview he has had a wxjrd or two to say upon current topics. He indicates thait perhaps a little, too much fuss is being- made of what is said in the Old Country regarding Australian affairs. It naturally happens tho.t more attention is given by Englisli journalists to dispraise than to commendation of Australian methods, but what is written does not affect the trend of Brit:al: opinion to the extent that is generally supposed. Articles appearing in London and other papers regarding Australian matters are not of sufficient intercut to bo read by more than a Umited number of people, and after all their influence is much exaggerated. Regarding immigration, Lord Jersey naively remarked : " The impression has prevailed in England that no great desire exists for people to emigrate to Australia" He was not far wrong in this. There is no earnest craving on the part of tliose already in Australia for a great influx of population ait the present juncture before anything has • been done towards breaking up the largo pastoral holdings, and providing suitable land for agricultural settlement. In any | caso, there is a decided aversion to receiving j with open arms the kind of people General Booth is likely to smd us. It- was really a great relief to all ooncarno.l when the cable brought news of the abandonment of the Salvation Army leader's proposal Thu six hatters' incident, Lord Jersey warns us, has had an undoubtedly bad effect, and' he considers it reproseiita a foolish, policy en the part of Australia. "I draw a distinction," he says, " between the people if other nations that you don't want and those who wish to come hero to make alivelihood, and who, by settling here, could j greatly strengthen the country. For, after | all, stagnation in population is hardly a | kood thing for a countiy with such inunense j resources and great po-isibilities ao Australia undoubtedly possesses 1 don't think anything myself of General Booth's scheme. I could not see how immigration like that would help the countiy. The opinion which 1 venture to entertain is that Australia lequires people who will take up its lands, not several thousands who will merely augment its census." j MR GEORGE REID AS A STUDENT. Lecturing in Sydney recently, Mr George Reid told a good story at his own expense. After about ter. years' "hard reading" for his preliminary examination while occupying the humble position! of a Treasury clerk, he got some kindly advice from Sir Julian Salomons, who suggested that ho should go to the Bar. His reply was: "I am reading for the Bar," and Sir Julian, expressing his pleasure at this, promised io give him any help he could. " He asked me," said Mr Reid, "how far I had gone. and my reply was t'hat I had nearly passed my preliminary.—(laughter.) Yours went on, and when he met me occasionally he j asked: 'Have you passed that examination yet?' My reply w;is: 'No, but I have 1 nearly passed it.' FinaDy, Sir Julian said ono day: ' You must have been thinking me an awful fool, Mr Reid ; but I eee your plan now. You are going to practise at tlie Bar in the next world.' —(Laughter.) It was a cruel stab, but it wias the best tiling that could have happened to me. because 1 went to live with a coach, and ifaiulhed with him six months, afterwards." JAPANESE STUDENTS FOR AUSTRALIA. A proposal has been made by Mr Suttor, Commercial Agent for New South Wales in the East-, which is not likely to be taken up with enthusiasm by Australians who are so suspicions of the Japanese. In a report. Public

to the Minister of Agriculture Mr Suitor ■mites:— I often feel thai we work under adverse circumstances through not being able to offer inducements to certain students to study agriculture, stock-raising, etc., in Australia. The Americans offer every inducement, and consequently tastes for American ideas, etc, are always foremost. It would be highly appreciated by the Japanese if arrangements could be made for students to obtain a few years' experience on some of the large stations of New South Wales, just to give an idea of the Australian system of breeding. The same also applies to other walks in life, and any facilities afforded would be more than appreciated' on this side. I hare already had many inquiries from -young gentlemen of high standing, and who are about completing their university education, as to the prospect of obtaining colonial experience for a couple of years, and for small remuneration when services are considered wcrt'hy thereof. Now that the Japanese are becoming large buyers of Australian wool, every facility should be afforded by way of enabling students to obtain a thorough iraight into wool-grow-ing, classing, etc., and which can only be obtained by actual experience. If any of our wool-growers cam see tbeir way to taking on© or two students each for a couple of years or more, I could personally recommend students of excel.cnt standing, and feel confident results would prove favorable. THE RELIGION OF A PUBLIC SERVANT. The allegation of the Rev. W. Woolls Rutledge that an officer in the Public Service of New South Wales benefited by changing his religions coat has been duly inquired into, and discovered to be without foundation. The statement made by the rev. gentleman, who has strong Orange leanings, was that Mr Hall, Acting Government Statistician, was " unable to obtain re-employment in the Public Service until he joined the Roman Catholic Church, and that- immediatelv upon his doing «> he was ie-employed at 531,000 a year." The Select Committee appointed to deal with the mattor had nine protracted sittings, examined ten witnesses, and heard a great mass of evidence, much of which was irrelevant. As a result they agreed to the following findings:—" (1) That the statements alleged to have been made by Mr Rutledge were made by him pablicly, both in Melbourne and Sydney; (2) that both the above statements are without foundation: (3) that Mr Hall was 're-employed in *he public service temporarily throe and a-half years and permanently over thirteen months before he joined the Roman Catholic Church : (4) that Mr HaJFs salary has never been £I,OOO a year, the highest salary he ; ever has received since his re-employmeiit eleven years ago being £425." i Commenting upon the investigations, the ' Daily Telegraph' remarks that it has ! brought to light the circumstance " that the Public Service Board are not invariably as fully aware of tho conditions in which appointments are made as they should be." Al'najon.is also made to the parliamentary anomaly which allows » member who prejudges a matter and lodges a co-nplaint to become- the chairman of a body which should be strictly impartial. I
