A PROTEST AGAINST CHARTERS BEING GRANTED. GREYMOUTH, March 23. At the Women's Christian Temperanoe Union, to-day, Miss L. M. Smith was re-appointed editor of the "White Ribbon," and Mrs H. Hill business manager. A resolution was passed heartily thanking Miss Smith for the exoellent work done by her in the dual capacity and attributing the success of the paper largely to her efforts. It was resolved by the meeting, "That we emphatically protest against the Colonial Secretary granting ohar»;ers for the sale of intoxicating liquors to clubs at Masterton, Feilding and Hastings, when all these districts reoord a majority vote in favour of no-license; (2) that the Imperial Government be urged to officially discountenance the traffic in opium." Miss Roberts moved, and the Convention carried, resolutions affirming the desirableness of public institutions for the care of men, women and ohildren, being governed by Boards composed of both men and women; also expressing their appreciation of the report of Mr Bishop, S.M., in connection with the j reoent Waltham Orphanage enquiry.
