MACCABE ON NEW ZEALAND.

■ ”Mr Fred. Maccabe sends the follow -1 ing contribution to the New Zealand Serald:— Since I took my farewell of the good people i£ucklana» I- haVe > made the experiment of travelling on the West Coast I find it is the cus-. tom ofthe colonists to ask all travellers think of,.the ,,Tbis, is Tatfier v mohdicnotis 1 , and 1 somewhat troublesome; became when you have not made up your mind about a thing it is troublesome to be asked what you think about it. lam not quite sure that I have made up my mind finally about New Zealand, i ut I have some impressions which “I- might modify, or intensify, on reflection;- but such as they are l-giye -you, well knowing thas whe;h,er 15m* mildly, or strongly fyrpng, there .will be plenty peb'fSfe theth; Th,e people of New Zealand seem to hole ! tb be determined to lay .ani embargo on A&jniq4a' qf travellers.,. by asking them (in a manner which conveys_Jhe. answer they expect), “ What they think . of the colony ? ’ { ’> < a .rule,, trayellei-s answer approvingly. If the travellers are Englishman,,, they are immediately assailed with thechmate of pfkthe 'vcUmate of®ewzSaJanoX TheftbuseandpfSise arXdike absurd.-x'O’he of have""' their own characteristics. rfflmt.-jpf England jis, well-known; and that" it is not very bad is proved by the fact that- no- Englishman praises it. Quid excuse s’ac : ease. att&cks a visi tor with the assertion that the climate is "admirable, but every colonial seizes the visitor and flings the question at him in a tone that means, “ you must ap prove.” Now, I have been in New Zealand since November, and I have not seen anything to justify me in say ling that it -has a'! good climate. Of course, all depends upon what you con sider is “ good climate.” If constancy in cold, in wet, in fog, and. in steady sunshine is good England has a good climate; but if a mixture of winter and summer in a haphaz&Vd way, 1 if an hour of warmth and an hour of cold, varied by wind- aim wet in the coarse of nearly every day,..is gppd cli mate, then New Zealand'has' a very good climate. My impression of New Zealand .splendid country, possessing many disadvan tages, and that for delicate people it kt( to ' end- their troubles, but it is a very fine country for the survivors. . ; I|iaye, just .arrived in Auckland "from my ' trip, pn the West Coast, of which I cah safdly assert the chances of being “stuck” are nearly in a. cer tain, and the chances of being “ stuck” in a pecuniary sense are quite certain. The travelling by^the )t U.'S.S. Co.- is undoubtedly comfortable. The new steamer Waifmra is certainly a splendid vessefel «ot4 racehPrse/bntrgdod and steady-going, in which you feel that neither wind nor water can hmL . r lt is not only a good ship, but stupidly splendid Splendor thrusts comfort away. Top tbo J prevalent. A place called the social saloon, which has two instruments of torture, in the shape of an organ and piano, ".(take# up a good deal of room and darkens, t)\e. saloon. In the present journey this social hall was monopolised by a family of children who made the day hideous with demon noises, and I discovered that there is no authority on board to stop a nuisance. The number of oaths qiiietlyjndulged-in -during my-psssage from Christchurch to Auckland, by the pagsengegy in tlje Waihora, because of the howling, screaming, and pretended vomiting of the demon family, would make a good sized Sunday -school hymn fo* |ASme|i(ja. on ' Tues Say next. Enthusiastic colonists have therefore time, to abuse me,fpr “ppirirbns, ‘ which are certai^y 3 my 0 .however false they may be. — Fred. Maccabe. aril 710 IHlgt’l j y

An eviu and .its remedy.—t^ the Editor',— l lt is ahealthy sign ofthe times. when our local papers are beginning to deal ini a fearless manner with bankrupts andithe bankruptcy laws.- The time has come .when so ( metlsngt must b? dpne either by the legisla ture. or by busipess men themselves.,to put an ! end,Vo a state 'of affairs which is a disgiace to our' boasted civilisation, We (the under-' signed) have been .doing business in Ashbur ton'about 3 yeate, and itfe money, we have ’ lost dui-ihg that period by bankrupts, levanv ters, and blacklegs generally amounts' to a great deal 'more than the margin usually allowed for bad debts. If the law cannot pro tect us then we must protect ourselves, and there is only one way to do so, viz., to abolish the credit system altogether. This system has been the curse of other countries besides New Zealand, and past experience has proved it to be rotten to the core. Owing to recent heavy losses we have resolved to sell for cash only in future. The honest man who is Willing to pay his 20s in the £, and pay as he goes, will find this no disadvant age but a great gain, as he will be able to obtain a first-class article much cheaper than he would under the old system. We shall exert our selves to the utmost as heretofore to give our customers-full satisfaction, and every order will be executed in our usual first-class style—but we shall no longer run any unnecessary risk. Under the cash system we are prepared to offer a special line of tweeds at the following unusually low prices Gentleman’s suit made to order, £2 18s fid; ladies’ taildr made ulster, £2. All other goods in proportion, fpr cash only. , ' CRAIGHEAb & CO., TAILORS AND CLOTHIERS, Tancred Street. i
