~We are indebted to the New Zealand Clippings Bureau for the following translation from a Swiss newspaper:— “ In New Zealand there are at present only two parties—men and women. The women have the franchise there now, and> at the first election they put all their candidates in, having gone to the poll in very large numbers. Their intention is to institute a reign of terror or Petticoat Government. Their political views are of the most reactionary kind. In view of this great danger the men have put aside all political differences, and formed one solid party with only one plank in their platfonn: ‘ Piotection of the Bights of Men.’” Our Swiss contemporary is facetious. Most foreign newspapers cover their ignorance on this subject in this way.
