Lake Wakatip Mail. QUEENSTOWN, FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 1895.

The address delivered by Captain Russell in Dunedin on the 17th instant has done much towards furthering the very marked revulsion of political feeling, of which the signs have been evident during the last few months. It w* B hardly, however, to have been expected that, in a constituency seemingly given over "hand and foot" to the Ministry, which in 1890 returned members whose sole qualification was subservient support of Mr SkodoS and his colleagues, the leader of the Opposition should have been received absolutely with enthusiasm, and his exposure of the humbug and mischievous tendency of their policy and administration, applauded to the echo. The personality of Captain Russell, no doubt had something to do with this; irreproachable in public and private life, his parliamentary career and the good services he has rendered as a Minister of the Crown, have gained the confidence of the country, and now there is no question, but that he has the ear of the people. It augurs well for the future that he has taken the platform, and we trust that he will meet the electors face to face throughout the colony, duriDg the present and the next recess. Ministers have been allowed altogether too much their own way, and have been able, without contradiction, to say very much what they pleased and to place their own view of things before the country. They have not, it is notorious, hesitated to take full advantage of this, reiterating statements which do not bear the test of application to fact, and glorifying themselves upon results which are entirely imaginery. The " bubble reputation," which by platform speeches and skilful tactics they have kept in flotation, bursts into tilmy fragments in the atmosphere of truth ; and we quite believe, with Capt. KfsrtELL, that the days of evil policy and corrupt administration are drawing to a close, and that the next general election will demonstrate that New Zealand has come to her eeases and will no longer tolerate the sacrifice of her best iuteresta to party considerations and class clamour. The argument of Captain RrssKLL was devoted mainly to the point that present conditions in New Zealand were exceedingly unsatisfactory, and that this was owing in cu small measure to the policy of the present Ministry. " They were "he said "now in the fifth year of the regime introduced by Mr BaIIANCE. Had his successors in office adhered to a self-reliant, non-borrowing policy ? Had they restored prosperity ? The manufacturers and importers were nervous, the financial companies were also nervous, the farmers were frightened, the artisans were going about seeking work, but they found it not. and the Natives were sulking and indignant at the indignities placed on them by the present Government. The whole country was in a state of tloulrt, almost of despair, and men went about with their hearts failing* them for fear. Where, then, was the prosperity? He said it had been driven from the country. But he would not say that the Government were responsible for the low price of produce. He realised there was a wave of depression passing abou* the world at present, but he did maintain that the conduct of the present Government had l>een such that capital, without which labour could not exist, had been driven from the country, and that enterprise had been checked in every direction. Until confidence was once more restored iu New Zealaud, and the i endeavour to set class against class ceased, there would never be prosperity or ; Irntiful employment for the people." The nouu»able gentleman especially denounced the hj;: incial policy which hao. its culmination iu the " wild-cat" borrowing schemes of last session. New Zealand, already the highest taxed country in the world owing to its hea v indebtedness iu pro]' rtion to the population, was committed to further liability to the extent of nearly seven millions sterling, involving thus an increase in the annual charges for interest, which must necessitate additional taxation. All taxation, in whatever form imposed, he truly declared, invariably fell on those least able to hear it; the working and industrial classes are always the greatest Bulfere'.s, iu that th» charges on imports through the Customs fall upon them with especial severity ; whilst direct taxation, if carried to extremes, so diminishes the means of employers that they are forced to reduce their expenditure, suspend improvements of prry)erty, restrict business enterprise, and reduce establishments. Prudent finance would, ("apt. Ri ssei.l affirms, diet le the reduction of the public debt, ard the contraction of ordinary expenditure within reasonable limits. Instead of this, however, Mmisteis rush hit » borrowing for various exceedingly qutstinnible schemes, and are extravjgent cv-n to prodigality—a course directly opposed to the tn.e priori | l?s of Liberalism ; since it is upon the mass of the people that the chief burthen is thrown. With excessive taxation, general prosperity is absolutely impos ible. The mischief, he says, is greatly intensified by the i socialistic and revolutionary measures introduced with the object of securing the support of the working chases, to whose assumed interests all other considerations have lieen made subservient. The practical effect of the legislation has been to "kill the goose with the golden eggs." Trade and business have been so interfered with and Buch a want of confidence engendered that money is shy of investment and enterprise is practically stagnant. One natural result is a scarcity of employment in all branches of the chief industries. There is little hope of revival or amendment, whilst the preseut Ministry remain in office, nincc, as Capt. Russell points out. they nre evidently determined to pursue their destructive policy to the bitter end and, indeed, have announced their intention to proceed " from bad to worse." There can be no restoration of confidence whilst they remain in office, and continue their present headlong career.

Young ladies and gentlemen desirous of learning dancing are reminded that, in order to ensure complete tuition, it is neceseary to attend the class to be held by Mrs Rogers at half-past 7 o'clock tomorrow evening at the Garrison Hall. Harvest Thanksgiving services will be held in St. Peter's Church, Queenstown, on Sunday next, at 11 a.m., and 7 p.m.—the preacher at evening service being the Rev. Mr Ghent of Clyde.

Attention is called to an alteration in the timetable of the Wakatipu 5.3. Co., whose steamers will resume winter running after to-morrow. The alterations effect only the Head of Lake trips which will be reduced from four to two a week.

The annual meeting of tha Wakatipu Licensing Committee is appointed for the 7th June next. Mrs Brown, of Laurel Bank House, having disposed of her freehold to Mrs Boyes, St. Clair, intimatos that her household furniture and effects will be for sale privately for two weeks only. Intending contractors are reminded that Toesday next is the last day for receipt by the Education Board of tenders for addition to Queenstown school teacher's residence.

Tenders, to close on 9th May, are Invited for the erection of a new Court-house at Arrowtown. Judging from plans, the building (about 34 feet by 30 feet) will be a handsome one with commodious public hall, magistrate's, clerk's, and witnesses room, etc., sufficient for the transaction of business equal to that done in the palmiest days of " Fox's."

Mr W. Fraser, member for the Wakatipu, annoances that be will address his Arrow ; and Queenstown constituents on Thursday and Saturday next week. On Tuesday Mr Fraser will meet the electors at Cromwell. Mr H. Green, of this town, who had been suffering from a lingering illness for a considerable time, died on Sunday morning, and was buried in the Queenstown Cemetery on Tuesday, the Rev. T. Paulin conducting the funeral service. The remains were also followed by the brass band, of which body deceased was a member. Three breach of borough by-law cases were dealt with by Messrs Hotop and Gudgeon, J's.P. in the Magistrates Court on Tuesday, and in each case the defendant was fined Is and Court costs, 7s.

Last Tuesday the Silvester Family gave one of their varied performances to a fair house in the Town Hall. The atteudsnee would no doubt have been larger, but for the inclemency of the weather. Mr Silvester opened the entertainment with his conjuring tricks, and kept up the enthusiasm of the audience for about three-quarters of an hour. Some of his tricks, including a considerable number of new ones, were remarkably clever. His little daughter then sang " Old folks at Home," and considering that she was only a mere child, the song was well given. The chief feature of the second part of the performance was that of the •'Floating Lady," which was watched with keen interest, it being a marvellous feat. This evening Capt. Fred. Thomas, the only whistling ventriloquist in the world, is to give an entertainment (musical and otherwise) in conjunction with the Silvester family who are to give some of their acrobatic feats.

The Cadzow-Neill musical party are announced to appear at the Town Hall on Friday evening next. Many of our local readers may remember Mr and Madame Cadzow and Mr Neill who were here about three years ago with Prof. Mason, and since that time they have, in conjunction with other artists, been giving entertainments in many large centres, the press of which speaks very highly of their musical accomplishments. The entertainment on Friday eveuiug will, we are sure, prove an intellectual treat considerably above the averaue of concerts given at Queenstown, and there is little doubt that the musical party will be accorded a bumper houne. VVe have been requested to state that the agents in Otago for Mother Mary J. Aubert's numerous medicinal remedies are Messrs M. Marshall and Sons, manufacturing chemists, Dunedin, from whom retail agents can ohtain supplies.

The * Bruce Heralti' of Friday last remarks that if anything were needed to proclaim the fact that witter is on us once more it was supplied by the appearwve of the town on Friday night, when the street '.■>:•. f« were lit for the firet time by contract. The Mi w'inians must retire to bed very early if they require uo ouliide light after say nine o'clock at night. By the way, we notiee, that the Borough Council there" have their lamps lit and hept in good order by contract. It mieht be worth while trying a similar plan for Queenstown. Rumour baa it (quoth the luvercargill 'News,') that at the next municipal elections in East luvercargill a lady ratepayer will be a candidate for the office of councillor for one of the wards.

A Masterton football club has unanimously adopted the following resolution :—" Should any member of the Club be disabled through injuries received on the field, a levy of 6d per week shall be struck on all members of the Club, such levy to be handed to the injured member upon production of a medical certificate that he is unable to follow his usual occupation." Have the members of our local club the manliness to adopt a similar course? The ' Southland News' states that fish, which was a scarce commodity early in the season, is now plentiful. Blue cod scaling 71b« each were to be seen in the shopt? on Thursday. At the Temperance Convention lately held at Wellington it was stated that on one of the Orient liners the average takings per day at the second saloon bar were £IOO.

Mr Romeo Bragato, the vinegrowing expert who has gone through the colony, considers that New Zealand may yet prove the best country in the world for producing champagne. Small bovs in various parts of Auckland made hauls of ,: hot cross " buns from doorstops on Good Friday morning. The police chased several bun parties in the small hours of the morning.

During the past five years the wool clip of New South Wales has been worth in round figures to the colony about £10,000,000 per annum. These are big figures, says a Sydney paper ; but when skint, tallow, and live stock are added, the total swells to considerably over £1 '2,000,000 a year. The number of men employed in the colony on the Co-operative works last month was .-—Survey Department, 1,344; public works, 893. MrGreenwav, the New Zealand agent for tire Cassels Gold Extraction Company, received the following calile message from London in reference to the case (the Cassels Co. v. Cyanide Gold Recovery Co.) recently decided against the company in the Court of Appeal:—" Appeal dismissed. Patent defective. Have been notified can cure by amending specifications. Judgment has been given for us in all other respects." The meaning of this (says the ' New Zealand Herald ') would seem to be that although the Cassels Company have lost the case, and will have to pay the costs, they may be able to establish their position by amending the specifications of their patent. One clause in the patent law is as follows :—" In an action for infringement of a patent, and in a proceeding for revocation of a patent, the court or a judge may at any time order that the patentee shall, subject to such terms as to costs and otherwise as the court or a judge may impose, be at liberty to apply at the Patent Office for leave to amend his specification by way of disclaimer, and may direct that rn the meantime the trial or hearing of the action shall be postponed." The Hon. John M'Kenzie addressed a largely attended meeting at Hastings on Thursday week. His speech was in the main a repetition of those delivered in other parts of the colony. Referring to the Bank of New Zealand, Mr M'Kenzie explained that when he said in Dunedin that the Government knew ten months before the passing of the Bank Guarantee Act that the Bank was weak, he meant that the Government knew that the Bank was not in a strong position, but did not then kuow there would be ..,-y tecessity for legislation. There was r.o inconsistency which could be found in Hansard. As to the charge that Government legislation had driven away canted, tie said such failures as the Harpers, of Christchurch, and the Loan and Mercantile Company had frightened British capital from investment in the oolony. These monetary institutions were run by Government opponents, so it could hardly be said the Government had frightcued people fro:L investing.

Fotatoes have never been cheaper in Australia than at the present time. Sales have been made at 10s per ton, in Warmamhool and Koroit, and the supply is everywhere in excess of demand. New Zealand thus can hardly anticipate an export trade ; of any great magnitude, but thefailure of the crop in parts of the North Island may maintain prices. : ~ , ~ lit An aged lady recently complained to magistrate tha because she was a little behindl with her rent her andlady followed her to church and asked her for it there The landlady came into the pew alongside her, and when she was joining m the responses was constantly whispering to her about the rent.

The u Westminister Review " for March contains an interesting article, entitled "New Zealand the Playground of the Pacific," written by Mr W. C. MacGregor, of Dunedin. The article is devoted to demonstrating the fitness of New Zealand for becoming a great national playground, and examinee in detail the qualifications of the colony for such a purpose. In particular the writer seeks to ehow that our little colony is especially adapted for the British tourist on account of (1) its splendid climate, (2) its beautiful scenery,l(3) its multitude of outdoor sports, and (4) its features of especial interest— e.g.

Presently, looking over the shoulder of the " kid " keeping the tcore, his Lordship said : " Bnt I don't see my name there." ' Not see your name ?' said the boy, why, here it Is— • Smith, 10.' The Bishop, although annoyed for the moment, quickly recovered his equanimity, and aaid 'Quite right, my boy.' tie recognised that on the cricket field all are equal. The' Manxman' which is just half a year published seems to have surpassed all previous records of book sales. It appeared first in England and in America on August 3, 1894, at 6s and at a dollar and a half. Mr Heinemann has gone to press with a fifth edition of 10,000 copies, making in all 55,000 copies printed, and Messrs Appleton are printing a further edition of 5000. The actual sales to date are 75,000. These figures which are authentic, are probably without parallel in the history of book-publishing in any country except France. A millionaire has constructed the most wonderful baths in the world at San Francisco. The great cliffs having been tunnelled, the water flows from the Pacific through a succession of canals into a reservoir, where it is warmed, and thence into enormous tanks. Twenty thousand people can tit. stand or promenade about these tanks, which are arrauged for every possible set of bathers.. This place is made beautiful with music and tropical plant', while seals st.u themselves on the rocks. The demand for iilass eyes is increasing as the character aud quality of the eyes improve. Unsightly eyeballs are now removed in part, leaving enough of the muscles to route the glass shell that is placed over them. Wbtre the work is properly done the possessor of tha glass eye can move it about with all the naturalness of a real optic, aud in many cases it i* very difficult to tell the manufactured article from the genuine. The Rev Joseph LVok, of Boston, has been lecturing on " The Seven Wonders of the World.'' which he named as follows:—The speed of intercommunication among nations; the self-reformat.ou of the hermit nations; the parallel advance of education and free government; the prospective moral confederation oi the advanced nations ; the triumph of Christiauity in this century ; the current fulfilment of Biblical prophesy ; and the alliance of science and faith. If we give Justices of the Peace enormous powers over the liberties of the people (remarks Judge Higinbotham)—powers in some respects far higher than those given to the Judges of the Supreme Court, whe can sentence a man to imprisonment only after he has been convicted by a common jury —it would be only reasonable to take some steps to ascertain that justices know the law they administer. Justices of the Peace should be required to prove by certificate of examination that thoy are acquainted with the rudiments of the law which they have to administsr. For my part, I should very much desire to see unpaid Justices done an ay with altogether," The Christchurch ' Press' advocates a weekly half holiday for servant girls. Replying to the contention that the work of the household would suffor.it says:—"On the contrary, nine women out of ten would work better and with greater zeal and energy if they had this outing. It would tend also to make domestic service more popular. Factory and shop work is more popular with many girls for no other reason than that it does not involve Bach seclusion from the outside world. Let domestic service cease to invalve so much conventual seclusion from the ordinary life of the town, and it would soon be found that it would be regarded with far more favour as a career for young women than it is at present." A stag was shot near Nelson the other day which on being weighed, was found to turn the scale at 298 pounds. It was in fine condition, and had a magnificent head with 11 points to its antlers. According to the estimate of a prominent sportsman, no less than 130 stags have been secured this sea son alreadv, and the opinion of the f»ame tieutleman is that something like an equal number have been shot, but not secured.

Throat Affections and Hoarseneess.—All suffering from irritation of the throat and hoarseness will be agreeably surprised at the almost immediate relief afforded by the use of "Brown's I'ronchial Troches." These famous "lozenges" aro now sold by most respectable chemists in this country at Is Ud per box.

From such crushing and squeezing, such indiscriraate elbowing, roe might reasonably have inferred it was another leparting Governor on the steamship Orizaba that induced over 2000 people to endeavour to get on board at once and the same time.

An English exchange hears that by the time Carbine arrives in the Home country be will have cost the Duke of Portland little short of £20,000. There was a commission of nearly £2OOO on the purchase*; but who pays that, the buyer or the seller, we do not know. An English paper states that when the steamship Capac was on fire at Rio de Janeiro some time ago, a packet of important papers was lost overboard. The papers were given np for lest, bnt quite recently someone killed a giant shark at Terra de Bas lea Kaintes, and among the miscellaneous contents of that ocean scavenger were the Capac'a papers. They were handed to a French resident, who sent them on to London. The fact that the place where they were fonnd is in the West Indies, some three thousand miles from Rio, makes the story all the more astonishing.

The Southern National Political Association of Mataura at their last monthly meeting passed a resolution strongly apprviug of the Hon.

To this Capt. Russell has forwarded a courteous reply, regretting that his engagements prealnded him from accepting the invitation, thanking the Association for their appreciation of his political services, bearing testimony of his sense of the injury sustained by the district in losing the services of their late member, the Hon. G. F, Richardßon, than whom no man was more required at the present critical time, and expressing his willingness to deliver an address at a later date—say after next session of Parliament.
