No-License Gampaign! THE REDUCTION ISSUE—CRUEL, PERNICIOUS, AND INIQUITOUS. A COMPARISON. The No-License advocates Guilty of Gross Libel. THE INVERCARGILL TRIPLE ALLIANCE. HOW TO TELL THE TRUTH, BUT NOT THE WHOLE TRUTH.: THE REDUCTION ISSUE, with which they are trying to throw dust :n the eves of the tmwarv Elector. is both cruel ami unjust. The English Idealising Bill, which is a' sort of a reflex of the Reduction issue, is thus described by an eminent divine (Canon Knox Little) : —lt Is obvious that if this Bill atci« o pass into law (which God forbid) it w<,uld not promote the virtueof temperance. but become an Act for the promotion of secret drinking. Even if it wove calculated to promote Temperance (which it is notl, it would bo morally wrong to give it support, bccrtuw.- it i« based on injustice and d.shonesty, nna Jj^a- robbery Bill. All sorts of sophistry, casuistry quibbling, declamation, and-xl»ni-our. have been brought into play in the hope of weakening this obvious, fact,, but in vain. Ido not believe that Englishmen have so lost, their moral :scnse as to permit such a monstrous iniquity. fl" v "WHAT A HOWL OF INDIGNATION would be raised if one fine toiorninj? of the leadere of those mushroom schisms of; th» Church—the dissenting bodies—were told that their particular brand of religion was no longer leqmtedThat by the vote of the people it was suppressed..

THE CONDUCT of the large concourse of people assembled on the Show Grounds during Wednesday a4id Thuitday is described by cons of the judges of stock, who have an opportunity of comparing tho sobriety of Tuna.ru to that of other centres, as tlw most exemplary they have seen, being the beau ideal »f order and sobriety as compared to that of No-Liccuso Llutha, Oainaru and A-hburton on similar occasions.
