Nelson Evening Mail. THURSDAY, MARCH 31,1892.

Piunoe Bismarck has always had tho credit of hoin# romavkably outspokon, hia "brutal frankness" being provorbial among his onoinies. Thia was all vory woll so long as ho was tho most powerful minister in L'uropo, but it is possible that ho may find that ho has oarried it too far for his own comfort. In a tologram published to-day it is atated that ho assures hia visitors that tho Emporor is offending all parties, and making poaoo with none, and that they may yot soo a repetition of 1848 and tho Emporor compelled to flco. If anybody olso had mado such a spoech whilo Prmco Bismarck was in powov it is vory certain that ho could not havo lived comfortably iv Germany afterwards. People still romombor Princo Bißinarnk'H persecution of Count Ariiitn, whom ho charged with a much loss serious offence against tho Crown than that which ho is now said to havo committed himself. For a man in his position publicly to foretell revolution is to do all that ho can to bring it about. Thoao who dislike tho existing institutions of Prussia and Germany generally, can now say that thoy have with thorn tho most famous servant of tho Grown who declares that it a revolution cornea !it will bo tho fault of tho Emporor. Siuoo Princo Bismarck's retireinont from office thore have beon sovoral indications of piquo on his part, unworthy of a man who has dono suoh groat things. In particular sovoral in. torviows with journalists wero published, iv whioh ho was reported to have condemned tho existing state of things with | considerable vohomence. Ho considered it necessary to deny tho truth of tlm reports, but tho impression roraained on tno publio mind that ho had allowod his Boronoss to bo plainly manifested. During last year thoro wero various rumours as to tho strainou relations betweon tho Emperor and his late Chancellor, but Prince Bismarok has been reticent in publicly expressing his opinion. If tho tologram published today is correct, ho has oast veticonoe to tho winds, and has fairly declared war agaiusttho Emperor. If Priuoo ßismarck had been thoroughly loyal and patriotic any warning of tho sort would havo boon convoyed privately to tho Emporor. As given it bears tho stamp of being inoro an expression ot spito than than an attempt to do good. Thore oun | J0 litfclo doubt that Princo Bismarck is presuming on the strougth of tho undoubtedly enormous sorvices ho has rondorod to hia country, A Bl'EOlAn mcetii g of the City Council was hold yesterday evening to consider tho tenders for street maintenance for three years. The Major and all the members were present. Tho following wero tho tenders- - nmr o e ' £ m > per Worgan Jones, £J46 8s;I<. Atkinson and Co., £970; J. (j. Williams, £1334.

When tho prison gang comes over iroin Wellington, no doubt a head ward or will be sent to tako charge of the 1 polico gaol, whioh will once again bo ooni verted into a priHou. 1 Thk Albion Football Club intend openiujr tho Hessian with a scratch match in th-. Botanical Itescrvo on Saturday afternoon next nt 3 o'olook, when mumbora of other Clubs arc cordially invited t:> take part. AN acoident happened at Motueka yesterday morning to Mr John Dolauoy. Ho was driving in a buggy along High-street, and was apparently trying to piok Homethine up from ono Bide when ha overbalanced himself and full to the ground. Ho was picked upin an uuounsoious state.

The Chief Postmaster, however, has received a meßgage itating that the reduction is absolutely to uome into foroe on June Ist, I^Messks Lock Bros, report having held a very successful sale p.t Mr Hyland's farm, Motui'-ka, on Tuesday last. There we.ie a largo number of buyers from all parts of tho district, tho bidding being excel lent, especially for tho horses. The following prices were realised :— Heavy draught horses, from £21 to £21 10 ; light trap horses as high as £10 10s ; milch cows, £4 to £5 Ss ; two-year-old steers, £2 5s ; broken mouthed merino wethers, Cs • ewes, Gs ; crossbreds, 6s (3d.

Tha JAtropcan Mail says of our now Governor : — " Lord Glasgow, from what is known of him, should prove an acceptable suooesuor to Lord Onslow at Wellington. He is a man of ihe world, genial and open in demeanour, aud in th ematter of administrative talent ho will leavo nothing to be desired He has been Chairman of the Ayr County Counoil. Truth eaya :- The selection of Lord Glasgow for the Government of New Zealaud has excited the fury of the voracious horde of place-hunters who swarm abjat the Tory clubs. Lord Glasgow, who is utterly unknown in political life, and who does not even, possess a seat in the House of Lord 3, waa formerly in the navy, and he distinguished himself both during the Orimoan War and in the seoond Ohiua War,; He succeeded his kinsman last year in the Soottish peerages whioh belong to the Boyle family, but ho did not obtain tho estates in Renfrewshire and Fifeshire, as he had allowed the ontaii to be broken, on a consideration of a payment of £100,000. Lord Glasgow however posaefiees the property of Shewalton, Ayrshire, whioh was long tho country Beat oi Lord President Boyle. He has, perhapß, beon ohoaen for thia Government in consideration of the services of the late Peer to the Soottish Tories and the Soottish Episcopalians. Lord Glasgow, like most of his countrymen who obtain oifioial employment, appear to believe in the «■ Take oaro of Dowb" prinoiple. I observe that his near relative, Colonel Boyle, is to go out to New Zealand as his Military Seoretary, while Lady Glasgow's brother, Captain Hunter Blair has bean appointed Military Aid-do-Camp. The Assistants' Association appeal to the publio to show their sympathy with the Wednesday half-holiday movemeut by Bhop.< ping before one o'olook on Wednesdays — Advt. IMPOKTANT TO THE LADIES. -Wo understand that the dressmaking department at Messrs Everett Bros,, of Bridge-street, is now under the management of a really firstolaas dressmaker recently from London, where she was ongaged in largo and wellkuovvn firms iv Regent ond Bond streets j so the ladies of Nelson may now rely upon being able to proouro costumes to order equal to anything to be obtained in the colony.— Advt.
