ASHBURTON RETAIL LIST.

®k gwskburtmt (Bmmliatt, COUN'J'V AGRICULTURAL & STORTING RT.CORIJKR. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, i v 79-

Allairs in Wellington do not promise well for as ession productive of the legisla tion we had hoped for, and which every candidate, successful and unsuccessful, in the recent election was pledged to pro mote. No sooner had Parliament met than the vote of no-confidence on which the late Ministry went to the country was again passed, but by so narrow a majority that though the party led by the Hon. John Hall is now in power, its best friends cannot bespeak permanent security for its Government, But even if the whirligig of politics were to wheel round with its lucky nick facing the Greyite side, and that side were to be again pitchforked into office to-morrow, he would speak without his book who would say that security lay with them any more than with the Constitutionalists. How much, or rather how little the great measures members were sent to Parliament to pass have to do with the bestowal of their sup port of a Government is now being made manifest by the readiness with which, for a price named, votes can be bought. Some members put themselves up, so to speak, for the highest bidder to buy, and the one that will do most in the way of spending public money in the district re presented by the coveted votes, is the side to which the support is given. Loudly was the log-rolling of the past denounced from every platform some weeks ago, but no sooner have the echoes of the de nunciation died away, and the chance arises to repeat the trickery, than we find the same thing obtaining, and with such effect that, upon the log-rolling pro ficiency of either party depends that party’s future. “ The Great Liberal cause ” was the cry rung out in full mouthed chorus by the supporters of the late Government, and one would have thought that the collective patriotism of the colony had centred in that party. But when it is found that to obtain power they are quite prepared to hypo thecate to the grinding of local axes a large slice of the five million loan about to be raised, so that the sympathies of these localities may be bought, the Grey party cannot complain if another bill of indictment is brought against the sincerity of that much vaunted patriotism which has flowed in honeyed words from the lips of their chief. The political grass hopper, Mr Vincent Pyke, who for a time danced to the music of the Con stitutional pipe, and then went over once again to the “ Great Liberal cause,” was followed by the exceedingly reliable member for Waimea, and there are others who, though knowing and freely admitting the danger of againbringing the old team back to power, are perfectly willing to accord their support to the recently defeated ones if the loaves and fishes are sufficiently plentiful. The re sult of this trading in votes is that before the end of the week we may expect the political wheel to have again revolved with Sir George Grey’s party uppermost at the sticking point. It is patent that the policy enunciated in the Governor’s speech at the opening of the first of this year’s two sessions, and reiterated at the opening of the second, is in no sense whatever the bone of contention between the two parties. The real difference is —how are the five millions to be spent ? Shall we squander the money in small, detached works here and there through out the colony—works that will enhance the value of property in the districts where they have been executed, but will not for many a day, if ever, return a fraction to the public coffers : or shall wc lay the money out in works that will de velop the resources of the colony, and at the same time bring in a return on the money spent. Just as the two parties decide between the two courses above in dicated will their fates be sealed. Which ever will be most lavish to the clamant members, who look upon Parliament as a huge Board of Works, will be the party that will hold the reins. The Hon. John Hall will be no party to laying down the public money at the foot of an unproductive hill, while Sir George’s party, to gain the upper hand, will not hesitate to carry the money to the very summit.

These are the real politics of New Zea land, sentimentalise as we may over the wider, higher, and nobler questions dangle! from the hustings. Those higher questions afforded opportunities for a dis play of what, after all, was meaningless oratory, that only served to gloss over the darker groundwork of selfishness of which our whole political fabric seems to be built. We heard accusations made by the Greyite party against the then Opposition that in its ranks were to be found men who had enriched themselves at the ex pense of the colony, men who had mani pulated the land laws for their own aggrandisement, and cared not a straw for the colony’s future if their own were secured. These accusations came with an excellent grace from a party who have shown their exceedingly warm solicitude for the colony’s future in the doings that Major Atkinson’s statement has laid bare. Well may they have rushed a £5,000,000 Loan Bill through the House, and made frantic efforts to have it placed on the London market with all speed. It was high time, when a million of it had already been traded upon, and a deficiency of nearly another million waited to be made apparent to the country to bo met by the budget of the session. If the £5,000,000 loan" is not yet floated, its buoyancy will scarcely be aided by the figures Major Atkinson gives us in his statement of finance. Yet the party under whose guidance we have been brought to this

pass have every hope of again coming into power. Just as Mr Macandrew has managed the public works of the colony, dropping a few thousand pounds’ worth here and there, as votes and popularity required to be secured for his Government, so has he done with members of the House who could be caught on the same princi ple, and “consideration,” either for the members themselves or their districts, is now being shown to be the real policy that rules.

When Sir Julius Vogel’s Public Works and Immigration policy was inaugurated, lie had in view works that in a reasonable time would he fairly remunerative, and the anticipations of Sir Julius have been fully realised where the principle of his policy has been followed, the exceptions being railways and other works constructed to suit party views, several of which could be easilv instanced, both in the North and Middle "islands. But when the statesman like policy embodied in the Immigration and Public Works Act was abandoned, and a wholesale system of favoritism to par ticular localities was shown, then the object of the Act was frustrated, and the first step was taken to ruin the credit of the country.

Cricket Practice. —We would remind the members of the Ashburton County Cricket Club that a practice will be bold at the cricket ground, on the domain, this afternoon, and a full attendance of the selected players is requested. Prac tice by the Borough Club is also held this evening, at their ground, near Mr Bul lock’s grain store. The Rotomahas a. ■ —The Rotomahana bears out as yet her good character for speed. She did the 200 nautical miles between Wellington and Napier in IJJ, hours. The nearest approach to this time made by any other vessel was 10 hours, by the Mongol.

Plantation Reserves. —lt is often re marked by travellers on the railway a barren-looking country the district be tween Rakaia and Ashburton is ; and the remark has a modicum of truth in it, a s the land in the immediate vicinity of the railway is still in the native tussock. Although this tract of country is still in an unimproved state, it does not follow that the land is not worth cultivating. The fact is that an area varying from 15 to 40 chains wide on each side of the rail way line has been reserved for plantation and other purposes, and as the Govern ment seem to consider that they are more profitable in their native state than if let to tenants, or devoted to the purpose they were reserved for—plantations—it is probable that they will not get out of the tussock pei’iod for a few generations. It would not be a bad notion if the powers that be would let, say one-half of the land for a term of years in consideration of the tenant planting the other half in forest trees, and attending to them until they had grown to such a size as not to require looking after. Should this course be adopted the present barren waste would be converted into an avenue, through which the railway would run, the climate would be improved, shelter would be gained, and the public revenue would be increased by the rental of what at present is no better than a desert. South Rakaia. —We notice that a meeting is called by Mr C. N. Mackie, Chairman of the South Rakaia Road Board, to be held on Saturday evening, for the purpose of urging upon the Govern ment the necessity of cutting the tunnel to Akaroa harbor. As this work is fully 50 miles away from Rakaia, and that township has direct communication with Port Lyttelton, we must acknowledge our ignorance as to why Rakaia should take the initiative in a work which, so far as we can see, is more a matter for the Akaroa County Council to move in than the Rakaia residents. The New House for the School master. —The house for the master of the district school is completed, and only awaits inspection by the proper official to bo occupied. District Court.— Orders for discharge were granted yes tor day in several bank ruptcies, but the most of the Court’s time was taken up with the hearing of evidence re William Munro. Messrs Harry and HugoFriedlandor wore examined with a view to eliciting answers to ques tions they had refused to reply to before the trustee. Answers wore obtained in evidence given, and his Honor gave the costs of hearing against them, remarking that witnesses were bound to answer as fully before the trustee as before him self. The Proposed Municipal Associa tion. — The “Globe” of Tuesday smiles kindly upon the proposed Munici pal Association, and hopes the circulars of tlie Ashburton Council regarding it will be favorably answered, but it ad vocates an extension of the. Association to the whole colony, and not a limitation to the municipalities within Canterbury. The Hen-Roost Robbery. —To-day the R.M. Court was pretty well filled by the public in the expectation of hearing the case gone into against James Moore, the alleged hen-roost marauder. The prisoner was in attendance, and all his supposed booty —some twenty fowls, pure bred and hybrid, trussed and in feather — was spread out on the floor of the Court. At eleven o’clock, however, the clerk announced that the Court was adjourned till Thursday, and those who had come expecting io hear an interesting case were disappointed. The adjournment hap pened in consequence of the R. M. having been called away on urgent business, and the difficulty of finding the needful two justices to supply his place. Great fears were expressed that the stiffened corpses of the fowls would bo altogether too tender if kept till Thursday, but there was no help for it.

Chowoko Railway Tkaixh.—The man ner in which passengers are crowded into railway carriages led to a fracas on the North line a few days ago. A first class carriage had more “insides” than there were scats for and, Mr. Arthur Devory in at tempting to find a seat got to high words with Mr. James Ilnrso and some very uncomplimentary remarks passed, ending in a scuttle and the consignment of Mr. lie very to durance vile for the period of half an hour or so. The merits of die case were gone into before the- magistrate at Kaiapoi yesterday ami adjourned til! Thursday. Tito railway authorities do not study the convenience of their faros as they might do, as the packing of the trains at Ashburton will frequently show.

Cricket. —We have been favored with the names of gentlemen appointed by the Match Committee af the Borough Cricket . Club to do battle on their behalf against the County Club on Saturday next, and we are led to believe a close game V* an ticipated. We are also given to stand that the secretary of the Borough Club is in communication with several prominent clubs in other parrs of* the province, with the view of arranging a series of first-class matches for the season. The names of Saturday’s eleven are :—Messrs G. Andrews, A. Andrews, J. Ash wood, D. Amos, \V. Broadbelt, C. Wright, H. Fowler, H. Whitley, J. Lusk, D. Leitch, I'*. Shury. Emergency men—Messrs Graves and Poyntz. 1.0.G.T. —The weekly meeting of the Dawn of Peace Lodge was held on Monday night. There was a very large attendance of members. Five new members were initiated. Two members were reported as sick, and the Sick Committee were notilied to visit them, and other members to hold themselves in readiness to take their proper share of sick attendance-if* necessary. It was resolved to give another entertainment at the Old Men’s Home in three weeks’ time. It was also resolved to institute a Glee Club and Choir, under the supervision of Sisters Hardley and Taylor ; a number of brothers and sisters gave in tboir names as willing to join, and it is hoped that their attendance at practice will be regular, as nothing con- duces to the Order’s well-being like well conducted higlnclass music and harmony. We feel sure that if the above named sisters are properly assisted and supported the Ashburton Lodges will soon boast a very superior Glee Club. After about an hour spent in songs, readings, and recita tions, the Lodge closed in the usual form.

The Land Tax. Last Friday, the Colonial Treasurer, in reply to Mr John ston, stated that the land tax might be paid into any Post Office, and that the money would be forwarded to the proper receiving office without any extra cost to the sender.

Domestic Helps. —A few days ago, the mistress of a household in Wellington‘in response to an advertisement, received several visits from young ladies anxious to take the situation. One cf 'them, a, great raw-boned girl of eighteen who seemed stupid as well as ungainly, was told that she would not suit. She promptly re joined ; “ Thank yer, mum ; then I’d ask yor for sixpence to take me home as it’ll be a long to walk.” The girl was evi dently smarter than she looked. Another damsel who was employed as a nursegirl at the house of a gentleman we know, point blank declined to make the chil dren’s beds, declaring that she wasn’t en gaged to do housemaid’s work. As may W, be imagined she did not stop long. The New Interpreter. —Mr Gannon, recently appointed Maori interpreter to the House of Representatives, is one of the best Maori scholars to be found in the colony, and the choice seems to have given general satisfaction. • :!

Trice ett v. Hanlon. —Since his match with Laycock, Trickett has been suffering from indisposition. He has now recovered,’ aud it is said intends to take immediate steps to bring the friends of Hanlon to book in reference to the challenge which they so loudly threw out some weeks ago. Since its acceptance by more has been heard of the challWie.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

[by telegraph.]

(from our own correspondent.) Wellington, Oct. 15. The manner in which Major Atkinson’s statement of finance was received lafit night was, if possible a more serious calamity to the colony than the frightful state of things which the statement' re vealed. Sir George Grey did not question a figure nor any of the facts adduced by the Treasurer, but spoke of the and the hypothecation of the £5‘,000,000 loan as a matter of very little consequence, and one which every one knew before. His supporters who followed, spoke in much the same strain. Mr Wood made a lively speech, taking the ground that ruin was the necessary consequence of Sir Julius Yogel’s borrowing policy. Every effort was made by the Opposition to ob struct business, but they had calculated on a friendly and partial Speaker. In this hope, however, they were deceived, as Mr O’Rorke was strictly impartial in his ruling, and insisted uponbeing obeyed. The Opposition can, of course, talk away time, and from the signs they have already given this will probably be done. - These tatics, however, will probably be useless, as I learn there is every likelihood that the top item on the Thursday’s Order Paper will be the no-confidence motion, that is, after Mr Bryce’s Native Affairs Statement has been made. The division on the no-confidence motion, after Mr M'Oaughan’s desertion will very likely leave Ministers in a minority of four. It came out in last night’s debate that Mr Mac androw has never consulted the Treasurer as to the means available for public works, nor given any notice as to what claims would have to be mot, but has simply car ried on as if means were inexhaustible and entirely at his command. Such is the proposed Premier, who, with Messrs Pyke, Sheehan, and Co. at his elbow, is to take charge of the stranded Govern ment ship next week.

Later. In last night’s debate, Mr M'Lean spoke of Mi- Ballance as the member who had sold his master, and those who trusted him, for 30 pieces of silver. Soon after the House met this after noon the adjourned debate on the Qualification of Electors Bill was called, when Mr Sheehan proposed the previous question to prevent the Bill being carried, and the whole afternoon was spent in talking against time, rhe Opposition talk ing to prevent the Bill being passed, or their votes recorded against it, and the Ministerialists to prevent a division, in which it is now believed they are in a minority of foiu-. Nothing very good or bright was said on either side, and Mr Moss was cut short by the 5.30 adjourn ment.

The Government will allow the motion to come on for debate as soon as Mr Bryce has made his Native Statement, which is now postponed- until Friday

evening. Mr Saunders’ Local Option Bill should come on this evening, and it is possible that both parties may agree to let it do u so.
