The Ashburton Guardian. Magna est Veritas et Prevalebit. THURSDAY NOVEMBER 4, 1886. GUY FAWKES’ DAY.

Notwithstanding the ancient distich which bids us— Remember, remember The Fifth of November, Gunpowder treason and plot, and which proceeds to declare that — There is no reason Why Gunpowder treason Ever should be forgot. We are ot opinion that no good purpose whatever is subserved by the perpetuation of the memory of a treasonable attempt which was the out come of the religious animosity of times long ago and which has happily died out with them. And as a matter o f fact, during the last half-century, the spread of enlightenment has been so great, and the spirit ot religious tolera tion and liberty has so thoroughly per meated society, that beyond affording to the gamins of our cities an excuse for letting off a few squibs or making up a “ guy ” (for even bon-fires have gone out of fashion) the Fifth of Nov ember has almost lost its place in the calendar of remarkable days. And a very good thing too, say we, for the sooner all such memories of the past as are calculated to disturb the harmony of the present are relegated to oblivion the better. We are, therefore, pleased to notice the very sensible reply made by Bishop Cowie, of Auckland, the other day to a request made to him as well as to all the other Protestant ministers of Auckland to hold special thanksgiving services in commemoration of the deliverance from Gunpowder Plot, The request was preferred by the Orange Society, whose loyalty to the Crown and whose firm adherence to the principles of Protestantism are worthy of all admiration, but whose wisdom in thus seeking to perpetuate the recollec tion of the Guy Fawkes incident His Lordship very properly questions, hold ing indeed that this is decidedly not the best way of carrying out the principles of the Order, while it is calculated to cause pain to large num bers of equally loyal subjects of Her Majesty, whose religious creed happens to differ in certain particulars from that of the Protestant churches. We entirely concur with BishppCowie thatthepublic celebration proposed would only serve to accentuate religious differences and that anysuch an anachron ism in these days. The lime is gone by for ever, even in the Old Country, when a man’s religious belief was held to have any bearing whatever on his qualifications as a citizen, and certainly in this free young colony we are not going to do or to say anything which may lead to a feeling of soreness on the part of the adherents of any creed, or the scions of any nationality. In religious, as in political matters, we all stand on an even and equal platform, and should forget altogether the sins and grievances of a past age. If we were to be judged by the deeds of our fore fathers we all live in glass houses and there is little to choose between us, indeed there is hardly a sect in Chris tendom—the Quakers, perhaps, ex cepted —which has not in its day been guilty ot intolerance towards those outside its pale. But novs avons changh tout cela, and men’s thoughts have “widened with the progress of the suns,” and with that widening of thought has come a distinct advance towards that universal brotherhood which is the end and aim of all true lovers of humanity, of all true believers in that noble religion of Christianity, whose cardinal principle is the “ Charity that thinkelh evil.'

LOCAL AND GENERAL.

Messrs Miles and 00. will hold an impor tant sale of live and dead stock, on account of Messrs Dudley and Nor they £ttd other owners, at Tinwald to-morrow. In consequence of Tuesday next being a public holiday, the ordinary fortnightly sale at the Tinwald Yards to have been held on bat day has been postponed fo a week.

The County Counoil meets to-morrow. j It will be remembered that the Borough Council at its meeting on Monday night decided to apply tor a loan of £2500, under the provisions of the Local Bodies Loans Act, to extinguish the present liabilities of the Council and effect a saving in the amount ol interest paid. It now appears there is no power in the Act under which the Council aan borrow for any suoh purpose, and the proposal will accordingly have to be dropped. At the R.M. Court this morning, before Mr D. Williamson, J.P., George Robinson was charged under section 157 sub-section 4 of the Public Works Act with having been drunk on the railway line. A fine of 20s and coats was inflicted, with the alternative ol three day’s imprisonment. The rainfall during October, 1886, was at Alford Station, 5 - 45 in ; Alford Forest, 10.25 in. The corresponding week for October, 1885, was—Alford Station, 3-25 in; Alford Forest, 4-60 in. Mr Miscall, of the Telegraph Department, who has been stationed at Ashburton for some time, left for Dunedin yesterday, to which office he has been transferred. His many friends will regret his departure, as he was a most obliging officer. Mr Daniel, of Dunedin, succeeds Mr Miscall. In the prize list of the Show, as published in our issue of Saturday, an omission occurs. Messrs Clark Bros, were the winners of the first prize for best three-year-old draught filly, and were also the winners?of Mr Grigg’s special prize of 5 guineas for the largest prize taker in draught stock. A lecture which promises to be of great interest, intituled “ Then and Now, or Fifty Years of Queen Victoria’sßeign,’’ is announced to be delivered by the Rev Joseph Berry, in the Wesleyan Ohurob, to-morrow evening at 7.30 o’clock.J The usual weekly meeting of the Star ol the East Lodge, 1.0.G.T., was held in the Arcade Chambers last evening. There was a good attendance of members. After the usual business had been gone through, and two members bad been admitted by clearance card, the following officers were installed by Brother Mullaney, L.D., assisted by Bros. A. Cooke, Q.M., and Bro. Galloway, Q.S. : Bro J. Sawle, P.0.T.; Bro T. Dalton, C.T.; V.T., Bro H. Westgate; Secretary, Bro T. Kingston; F.S„ W. Norrish; T„ Bro J. Mullaney; Chaplain, Sister Wildsmith ; M., Sister E. Manbire ; D.M., Bro J. Mullaney; 1.G., Sister Kingston; 0.G., Bro Clark; R.H.S., Bro Cook; L.H.S., Bro Galloway; A.S., Sister A. Sawle. The ceremony ol installation was very impressive in character. The reports of the officers disclosed the fact that the Lodge was in a very flourishing con dition financially and in number of members. The Governor ol Algeria has discovered a use for standing armies in times of peace. The greater part of the grain crop, ha reports, has just been saved by turning the military loose on the locusts and crickets. No less than 27G cubic meters of locusts’ eggs and 9500 cubic meters ol crickets were destroyed. The forced labor employed for this purpose, adds the report, represents a day’s work of 1,700,000 natives—a sad commentary on the son of the desert’s capacity for work. The Wesleyan Bazaar seems to have been a great success. We are informed the accounts are not yet complete, but it is known that the Church Trustees will receive £2GO after paying all expenses. An advertisement, con veying the thanks of the Trustees to those who have worked so well for the Bazaar, will be found in another part of the paper. It is asserted in the Morning Herald (an American paper that is published is Paris) that the engagement between Lord Cairns and Miss Grant was broken oil because My Lord insisted on Mr and Mrs Grant settling an income of £2OOO a year on their daugMer from the day ol the wedding; and further, that they were required to purchase and furnish a London home for the couple. The same journal states that when the rapture took place Lord Cairns intimated his inten tion ol sending in the bills to her parents for all the jewelry he had given Miss Grant, whereupon the young lady at once packed up everything she had received from him and despatched the parcel to his rooms. Commodore Vanderbilt used to travel in special trains at the rate ol one mile per minute; but this rate of locomotion is far exceeded by the canoes which ply on the rapid streams of the Sierra Nevada down which the timber is floated. A correspondent of a German paper gives an account of such a lightning passage in a flat canoe with two other travellers. The boat performed the distance of 1G miles in exactly Bmin 40seos, being impelled solely by the force ol !the water. He described his sensations as follows! _>• I could distinguish nothing (but a wild, confused image of rocks, trees, and land scape, like the shapeless blotches of color on a painter’s palette. It seemed to me as though we werejbeing shot into the air out of a cannon.”

Chkistohuroh, November 3 At the mee’ing of the Hospital Board to-day, a letter was read from the In spector of Prisons stating that the Minister for Justice saw no reason to alter his opinion that delirium tremens cases could lawfully be remanded to hospitals for treatment, and that therefore such cases would not be admitted into the prisons after March 31 next.

A STRANGE CASE.

Invercargill, November 3. An inquest was held to-day on the body of a four months' infant son of Arthur Mussel, a gardener, residing in South In vercargill, who was alleged to have died of starvation. Witnesses deposed that the mother was rcarcely ever sober, and that she left the child locked up in the house alone for hours gather. The medical evidence went to show that the infant had been starved, there being no organic disease to account for death. The body weighed 51bs 12oz. The doctor to whom the child was shown by his mother stated that he told her that the child was cot getting sufficient nouria ment, and gave instructions for food to be given. The mother stated that she gave the child all it would take, and it (ejected the food ordered by the doctor, and had diarrheas after it she had applied to the Chari table Aid Board for help, bnt her com plaint at the office was chiefly that her husband had dese-ted her. She was told to call when the Board was sitting, but did not attend, and was intoxicated when she made the appllcition. The jury re turned a verdict to the effect that the Child had died f om starvation, but they could not say who was to blame, it not be ng clear that the husband had supplied funds for the maintenance of the child The woman seemed always to have money to spend on drink, and it was proved that she had bought several quantities of milk, bnt nut continually

AMERICAN MILLIONAIRES.

JAY GOULD. The wealth of Jay Gould has passed in to a proverb His yearly income is esti mated by some as high as £4,000,000, and byothers as low as £1.000,000 sterling His brokers assert that he keeps £4,000 000 on deposit, so as to be ready for any em ergency that may arise. When he purchased the Missouri Pacific line of railway he drew a cheque for upwards of £6)0,000, which is believed to be the largest ever drawn. When ha was ex amined, three years ago, before a Committee of Congress, on education and labor, he jam the following account of his early life:— “ I was born at Boxbury. Delaware County, In this State, May 27, 1836. My father was a small farmer and k spt » dairy of twenty cows. I was the only boy in the family ; so I helped my s sters in milking the cows both morning and night, and drove them to and from the pastures. As I was obliged to go bare foot during the summer, and often had ray feet pricked by he thistles about the fields and pasture, I concluded ! didn't like farming, and so I one day asked my father to allow meta go to a school which was situated about 15 miles dis tant from home. Ha replied that, as I wasn’t worth much about the farm, he would give me my time. I f.und a blacksmith near the school who would board me if I would write up his books at night. I was then about 14 years of age. I attended school for a year, and then obtained a clerk-ship In a country store, where 1 was obliged to work from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m By this time I had acquired a taste for mathematics, especi ally surveying. By getting up in the morning at 3 o’clock and studying until 6, 1 obtained a good knowledge of the latter branch, and at length started out to find employment as a surveyor. He succeeded, but met with such diffi culties and discouragements as would have daunted most men. Eventually, however, ha accumulated, by dint of great frugality, the sum of £IOOO, and when the panic of 1857 occurred, he in vested the whole of it in certain railway stock, which at that time was l )0 per cent, below par. When the re-aotion oc curred the foundations of his fortune were laid. A cool, cautious, and cal culating speculator, ha thinks while he acts, and ads while he thinks. His powers of mental arithmetic are ex traordinary ; and it has been said that ‘ by the time he has gone over a railway, he hai figured out to a nicety, what the entire establishment is worth, and rarely is an error found in his rapid calculations ' The ‘‘corner” in gold which he effected in 1869 was one of the most gigantic and daring schemes on record, and has been thus described ; ‘ His theory was, that the business interests of the country required an ad vance in the price of gold ; and if this advance were made, the Erie cars would be overcrowded with freight, and a foreign market would be secured for the full crop rf grain. He took Fisk into his confi dence, and worked secretly like a mole out of sight. He circulated the rumor that every official in Washington was in league with him, from the President to the door keeper of Congress. He made Ocrbin, who had married the sister of the President, his fiiend; he placed General Butterfield under obligations to him by means of a private loan ; he left no means untried to gain his desired end. From 131 to 162£, with alternate jumps and bad-sets, the price of gold went up, but the reflation being too great for even su.h a wealthy combination as Gou'd represented, to maintain, a swift and terrible re-action came about, 1 1 the apace of 15 minutes on Black Friday, the price dropped (tom 160 to 133, and the wildest excitement all over the country prevailed. It was then that business was prostrated, that Wall street was strewn with the wrecks of broken fortunes and blasted hopes, that gambling in gold was anathematised in the pulpit and public press. ’ Jay fJouid has always acted on the advice which the Quaker is said to have bestowed upon his s>u : —“ Make money —honestly if you can ; but make money.” He has succeeded, and whether at home or abroad, he is followed by a vigilant private detective as a measure of precau tion ; for such numbers of men have been rained by his operations In Wall street, that the great speculator lives in constant dread of bteoming the victim of “ the wild justice of revenge."

BISHOP COWIE ON GUY FAWKES' DAY.

The following la the letter of Bishop Oowio to the Secretary of the Orange Grand Lodge, Auckland, referred to in to-day’a leading article : Bishop’s Court, Auckland, October 26th, 1886 Dear Sir,—l hive received yonr letter of October 25'h, informing ms of a re* solution of the Grand Orange Lodge of New Zealand, and asking me to “ preach a thanksgiving service in memory of the deliverance from the Gunpowder Plot." I would gladly comply with this request if I did not think that more harm than good won'd be the resnlt of such a sermon. The principle! of the Grand Orange Lodge are, I believe, reverence, for Holy, Scripture and loyalty to the British Crown- These are principles of Christian politics which the whole of New Zealand must cordially approve, bat we may honestly differ in opinion as to the m >st effectual means of inculcating them. The deliverance of November 6, 1605, should not be forgotten, but I do not think ’hat it ought to be commemorated in a manner tnat is offensive to any of our fellows-cltizena. 1 have no reason to suppose that the Homan Catholics of Auckland approve of the plot of Guido Fawkes and his fellow conspirators any more thin you and I do, and to act or apeait as if the contrary were the case must be irritating to them, and is calcu lated to stir np and keep alive feelings of injury ai d resentment. Happily there is n ■ mure fear of the Bible, in the valgac tongue, being closed to the people of New Zealand by the authority of the Pope of Home than there is of New Zealand being invaded by another Spanish Armada, and I am not aware that the loyalty of the Homan Catholics of Auckland to Queen Y'ct ri« is at *ll} inferior to that of oor other"fellow-colonists. Under these cir oum tancei. I Bel that Christian charity demands that British subjects in thess islands should discontinue public eomme mooration of the Gunowder Plot, freedom of conscience and general liberty of the subject being as secure in New Zealand as anywhere else iu the world. Ldve to our brethren, fear of God and honoring the King are linked together in the New Testament. Let us do our best to preserve their combination in our daily lives as in other ways ; so also by discountenancing commemorations that are likely to causa heartburning and a desire for retaliation among any section of the community.— -I am, etc., W. G. AacklandJßLshop."

A nice little line of cross-bred wethers in the wool from Southland topped their class at 17a 9d. Some other lines of prime merino wethers attracted much attention, and of the shorn crossbreds and Downs it may be Said that tbe quality all round was very good. A particularly well-framed 4-tooth half-bred «etber, hand-fed, and of undeniable quality, was bought by Mr W. H Cooper, Armagh street, at a guinea.
