AROMATICS
:-' Aro now used to render medioines and cordials more salutary and palatable. Wolfe's Aromatio f? ohnapps is one of tbe ,:••" oordials.
on what he calls "the dastardly, cowardly action " of the , newspapers in publishing the evidence in the Ward oase. Tactics at Public Meetings. It was a bad move on the. part of the Premier to adjourn { Parliament from Thursday afternoon till the following Tuesday, He had had the last word in speaking at .the Skating Rink last Tuesday, and although the large audience was mostly against him, the Chairman declared that a vote of oonfidenoe was in his favour. But Sir Robert Stout spoke at the Opera House on Friday, and not. only had the plaoe orammed, but he had an opportunity of hiding out very straight at a number of Seddcnian M...H.R., who were present. There were no Standing orders, -.no Speaker, and no time limit to cheok him, but there was a well or-ganised,-party of Seddonitoß tc prevent a hearing if possible.' this is no surmise, for before the meeting I waß informed that the various leagues, both male and female, bad besn notified. They did' their work well aooording to their fights, but they did not number moire thin perhaps $0 or 60, while there must have been 2000 people altogether in the Opera House, ahd Sir Robert, despite the clamour, got through his speeob, and reoeived most 'flattering indications that the people were with him. A lot of fan was got ont of two of the "dumb-dogs." |Mr Frank Lawry sat just behind Sir Robert, and when the latter mentioned that the Minister oi Lands bad said at Auokland that he would give a Ministeralist work in preferenoe to an Oppositionist Mr Lawry;«ried"No," and repeated it, observing tbat he Was present at the meeting, .ir Robert* looked round to see who it was, and said " Oh I it's j#r Lawry ; well, I;don't think muoh of anything he says." Mr Lawry tried to Bpeak, but failed to get a hearing.;; and after the meeting concluded '■ he again stood up, but did no good for himself Mr Oarnell, tbe venerable-looking member for Napier, was on a front seat in the dress oirole, | and when Sir Robert spoke of the; blaok and white promises Mr Seddon [boasted of holding from members just after the last general eleotion, Mr Qarnell rose and was understood to deny being a "tied" member. Sir Robert made some joking allusion to Mr Oarnell never being heard in Parliament doubted that the gentleman who spoke just then could be: a " dumbdog," and asked if he denied signing the document. Mr Oarnell rose again, but his voice could not be heard, and Sir Robert remarked that he did not hear the reply, but supposed that he did not deny having signed. 'ihe result of this meeting will be disastrous to the various organisations which it - was hoped would be strengthened by the Premier's gathering. As a matter of fact, many, who attend the aeddonian leagues, male and female, through coercion, are more bitterly against the autocrat than others who are in a position to think for themselves. They feel the weight of the Lancashire ■ clogs, and are anxious for the day when the polls will give them the opportunity to draw off the hatred yoke. Wellington, June 18.
