WELLINGTON.
Monday. The Education Board election on Saturday was a? aign of the times. ..Mt, W. T. L. Travers, who has lately been emerging from his retirement,-was beaten by a Mr Toomath, a man with little to recommend him other than that, he opposed Mr Trarers, and one Gillon, a callow politician who was going to put Travers in for certain, and worked and blew a great deal in his behalf. The result of the election shows that the knot of politicians hero who bave been going in for the Constitutional question are not liked, for though it was a contest for the Hducation Board," politics had no little effect in the decision. .. -...,..,.
It is expected that the goldfield and land clauses of the Abolition Bill will give rise to a very lengthy discussion' this week, and probably occupy all the four Government days. ....,- There is considerable trouble for the Government lqoming'''in the distance, arising out of the Olrinemuri miners' rights and Tairua lands matter. Unless the session is cut short by. prorogation, the Opposition are determined to have everything out in regard to these things.
