Wairarapa Standard Published Tri-weekly, Price Id. MONDAY, JANUARY 10, 1887. Mr Goschen.

Late cable messages tell us that Mr Goschen lias come forward on bohalf of the Conservatives and Unionist Liberals. For years he has been a prominent man in the Liberal party. From a contemporary we extract the following brief summary of Mr Gcscben’s political career and suggestions as to the probable outcome of his accession to office, in reference particularly to Irish legislation : —Mr Goschen first distinguished himself in politics by taking an active part in the movement for throwing open the Universities to Dissenters, and the abolition of religious tests. He office as Vice-President ot the board of Trade in 1865, he being then one of the representatives of the City of London, where he had been a merchant. In 1878 Mr Goschen issued an address to the Liberal electors of the city of London, declining to come forward at the general election, on the ground that his votes ou the county franchise question bad not been in accord with the views generally entertained by the party. Mr Goscheu, in 1880, after Mr Gladstone’s return to power, was appointed ambassador extraordinary at Constantinople. Mr Goschen subsequently sat for Ripon, and afterwards for Edinburgh East. At the last election he was opposed by Mr R. Wallace in the interest of the Gladstone party, and as Edinburgh is a stronghold of the Gladstonites, Mr Goschen was beaten by a considerable majority. During the contest Mr Goschen made some eloquent and forcible speeches on the political situation, explaining how he came to the conclusion that the policy which Mr Gladstone desired to pursue, would be injurious to the country. In all probability the accession of Mr Goschen or any prominent member of the Union-Liberal party to the present Government will mean an attempt to deal with the Irish question in the spirit proposed by the leaders of that section of the party. The Union Liberals did not declare that, under all circumstances, and at any time, no scheme of Home Rule could be considered. They contended that the policy which Mr Gladstone advocated in 1880 and 1881 had not been given a fair trial, that no stone should be left uuturned to put the land tenure of Ireland on a right footing, and to see what change hj the popular feeling that ci ur-e n 'pot produce, before any question involving “ Home Rule,” whicti, they contended, meant danger to the unity of the Empire, was discussed. The Union Liberals have stuc t to thl; programme, and latterly refused to be led into a movement advocated by Mr Gladstone, as a basis on which to re-unite the Liberal party, namely, that they should join in bringing pressure on the Government to produce the plans of their Irish policy at oi "‘o. This the Union-Liberals declined to do, but they would certainly he quite open to consider any plan by which the land tenure system of Ireland could be further modified.

A Gisborne hawker wrote a letter to the Council there, which was read at the last meeting. He asserted that be bad paid a license fee to carry ou business as a hawker, when he found that the Salvationists were hawking the War Cry about the streets for sale without having paid a license fee, and he wonld suggest that they be proceeded against, or that the Council return him his fees. One Councillor thought the Salvationists should pay a license fee ; the Mayor said they would have to pass a new bye-law. Another Councillor thought it was very bad taste to stop tho circulation of a paper thaf was doing good—it showed a very narrow minded spirit; another thought they should not interfere; another said they bad been put down as a public nuisance in Napier. It was decided that enquiries be made as to the custom in other towns respecting the sale of the War Cry. The Teetulpa diggings continue to give fair results, the washings in most cases giving good returns. Many disputes have occurred with regard to claims.

One of the heroines of a iamous historical escape from prison has just died in Paris—the Baroness de Forget, formerly Josephine de Lavalette, who helped to rescue her father on the eve of his execution. Few episodes in French history are more familiar than the pathetic story of Madame Lavalette disguising the condemned Bonapartist in her own clothes, and sending him out of the Condergerie on the arm of young Josephine then a girl of thirteen, fn her nervousness Josephine forgot her instructions to keep ou her father’s right, so as to prevent the turnkey from handing out the supposed Madame Lavalette, and ran great risk of the plan failling- Josephine nursed both her father and mother until death, and has now followed them at the age of ninety three.

The scandal which drove Sir Charles Dilke into obscurity would have simply made him a hero in Paris, so says a French paper, and they are generally pretty correct authority on such matters. The English are charged with being a too prudish people.

The authorities of Victoria have seized a number of Bibles which are to be burnt, in accordance with the law. It appears that the books were consigned by the National Publishing Company of New South Wales to a Melbourne bookseller. They are magnificent specimens of the publisher's art and are splendidly illustrated. It appears, however, that the publishers have infringed the copyright of the Revised Version, which belongs to the universities of Oxford and Cambridge hence the holocaust.
