The Ashburton Guardian. Magna est Veritas et Prævalebit. SATURDAY, JUNE 25, 1887. THE REDISTRIBUTION OF SEATS.

Although we shall have to wait for the issue of the " Gazette " defining the boundaries of the new electorates to learn exactly how far we are legally affected, yet if we may rely upon the information supplied to the " Lyttelton, Times," by its Wellington correspon dent, and repuhlished by us m our issue of yesterday, it is evident that the work j>f the Commission is nearly completed arTd thaTas one of its7resmts~ wilHtave to be counted the disappearance of the electorate of Wakanui, *or rather of its name. For a large part of the elec torate hitherto known by that name will doubtless be included m the new electorate of Rangitata, the balance of which will be made up from that of Geraldine as at present constituted. The remainder of Wak anui will, it is to be presumed, be added on to Ashburton. As there is no probability whatever of a contest for the latter seat, Mr Walker will have added to his care a thousand or two of additional constituents, and as he is exceedingly popular all parties will doubtless be well satisfied with th? arrangement. The merger of Wakanui, or -what remains of it after taking off the slice added to Ashburton, with part of the old Geraldine d'strict, and the formation thereby of " the new electorate of Rangitata, will upset the plans of several candidates who are either now wooing the electors or were understood to be about to do so ; and should Messrs Ivess annd Purnell, as the candidates mentioned for this part of the new district, enter the field for Rangitata they will, we con clude, have to meet Mr Rolleston and Mr Twomey who are already out for the Geraldine portion, unless either or both of the latter choose to take the Meld for Gladstone which will now include the southern part of Geraldine, against Messrs Rhodes and Kerr, who have already declared themselves for that seat, The changes made m the Lyttle ton, Akaroa, and Stanmore districts were unavoidable, and that made m regard to Waimate was not unexpected. The Oamaru electorate, being below the quota, had to take something from Waitaki, and will doubtless get that portion of Mr Duncan's present district which lies South of the White Stone City, thus necessitating an addition to .Waitaki m its turn. That addition would naturally be the portion of the Waimate district lying south of the Waihao river, and cx 1 ending up the Waitaki river into the valley of the Hakateramea, which territory owing to its relations with the port of Oamaru is already a part of the Oaroaru Harbor Board rating district. Losing thus m the south, Waimate has again m its turn to take m territory to the north ward, and thus trenches upon Gladstone, which again encroaches upon Geral dine. On the whole the Commis sioners .seem to have managed, the difficult duty intrusted to them as well as the hard-and-fast lines of the Act permitted, but for all that it will doubt less be some little tim? before people become entirely reconciled to the changes made.

IMPORTANT TO ELECTORS.

We call the attention of electors to the following, which appears m to-day's 11 Lyltelton Times " :— lt will be well for those who are qualified as electors, but who are not registered, to lose no time m applying for registration. Fifteen days, let them remember, must elapse after application before a name can be registered. Now the electoral rolls m force "on the day" of the proclamation of the new districts are to be used for the formation of the new rolls. It appears, therefore, that no applications made within fifteen days of the proclamation can be given effect to. After the pro clamation applications for registration must be made ia the new districts. The

day of proclamation cannot be far off now. The Representation Bill received the Governor's assent on June 6. The work of the Commissioners must, therefore, be completed before July 6, or Thursday week, and the proclama tion of their report must follow quickly. It will be well for those making applica tion for registration before the procla tion to take a note of the date of their application, so that they can see, after the proclamation, whether they will have to apply again m the new dis tricts, or to examine the old roll to know if they will be transferred to the new.

LOCAL AND GENERAL.

We are requested to call speoial attention to an important eale of Japanese art pro ductions, manufactures, and curios, to be held at the auction rooms 4 of Messrs Fried lander Bros,, on the 7th pros. Thegoodß will be on exhibition for two days prior to the sale.

The " Canterbury Times " says that Mr Mas Friedlander, who recently purchased the American trotting stallion, BlaokwoodjAbdaU lab. at the sale of the late Mr Robert WiMn'B stock, has been offered 250 guineas for his purchase by a North Island owner. This is a rise of 90 guineas on the price at which Mr Friedlander bought him. Unfortunately, Mr Friedlander cannot accept the offer, as he has promised to retain the horse m the distriot, and on the strength of the promise so given, two of the trotting mares bought at the same sale have been left m the district for service by tho stallion, and some score or so of dams that would otherwise haveibeen sent else* where to meet sires, will be kept m the Ash barton distriot. Under these ciroumstanoes, Mr Friedlander has been compelled to decline the offer made to him, and the stallion will remain, for this season at least, m Canter bury.

It is very doubtful if the new French ex plosive,' melanite, whioh has been adopted m Franoe, is not likely to be more dangerous to themselves than to their enemies. The dis astrous explosion of a charged shell, wbioh ooourred at Belfort, is said to have been oooasioned br ohemioal action being set up m. aide the Bhell, owing to the interior of the shell not having been thoroughly dried. The order has sinoo gone foith for the destruction of all shells oharged with melanite.

Id an electoral address m Dunedin a day Or two ago Mr Dooraio Stewart remarked that it often happened that people who had been for a long time m the publio service here on receiving pensions left the colony and spent their money m England ; and as a pension Was oontinued pay without service being re quired for it, he thought it would be perfectly fair to say that only half -pay should be granted to persons who are entitled to pensions if they lived out of the colony.

Messrs Friedlander Bros.' new Auction Mart, consisting of the (building foftnaly known as the Town Hall, with extensive additions thereto, and whioh nave already been desoribed m our columns, was formerly opened to-day with a lunoheon, to which (ally 150 guests sat down. The viands (whioh were, it is needless to say, abundant m quantity and excellent jn quality) were set oat on two long tables m the upper room of the Hall, and after these had been fully disposed of, His Worship the Mayor proposed the toast of " Success to the firm of Fried, lander Brothers m their new undertaking." ' In well chosen sentences Mr Scaly congra tulated the district upon possessing men of suoh energy and enterprise, and upon the fact thereby, evidenced that, notwithstanding the general depression whioh had been ex perienced, there wer« yet those who had such firm confidence m the future of Ashburton. He hoped that their enterprise would be rewarded with success, and said that if was .•an advantage to the farmers of the distriofc to be afforded the further facilities now pro. vided for the disposal of produce by auction. The toast having been drunk with enthusiasm, Mr Hugo Friedlander responding for the firm, thanking the proposer and the company for the manner m whioh the toast had been proposed and received. The condu'ot of sales by auction was not a new branch of the business of the firm, but it was because, they felt that if this branch was to be carried on successfully it mußt be gone into thoroughly that they had fitted up and opened the' premises m which they were now assembled. They did not wish to monopolise the whole auction business of the district, but hoped to get their share of it, and he Could promise clients that their interest would be carefully studied. The health of the contractor, Mr W. L, Brown, waV proposed by Mr Steward m a few complimentary remarks, and was acknowledged by that gentleman, and those present then adjourned to the auction room for the business of the day.

THE JUBILEE.

(special to press association, J

London, June 23. The Jubilee display was the grandest ever known m the history of. the city, The chief interest was centered m the service m the Abbey, and there was an intense feeling of relief that it was not attended with the disaster rumour had predicted. The route of the pro cession was a most brilliant, sight, and the demonstrations of Joy alty from the vast throngs haveVever been exceeded.

Several other fatal accidents have been reported, caused principally by the tremendous crush m the crowd

. The Colonists' stand afforded a splendid view of the procession, but many admitted were not -Colonials. Illuminations were universal, and of a most gorgeous character. Some of the streets were a perfect blaze of light. The electric light was.. freely used. The Australian devices were among the most effective. One design, particularly applauded by hundreds of thousands of people, was . made entirely of crystal prisms, forming the words ' God save the Queen," flanked with w 1837— 1887," "V.R." and crown between. Surroundiog the! device were seven medallions bearing the names of the Australian colonies and New .Zealand. The design was in. admirable foste, and the illumination was superb. Comments are made op t&e fact that the occasion of the Jubilee was not marked by Her Majesty performing some act of national benevolence.

LoNDoir, Jane S3.

The celebration of the Jubilee was attended with disorder . m Ireland. In Dublin, Cork and Belfast serious riots occurred, many people opposing the demonstration; The authorities were obliged to use severe measures, and m some cases, severe injuries were inflicted on the rioters, " ; '•• ;

In compliance with a general wish, the Jubilee ceiemonial was repeated yesterday m Westminster Abbey lor the benefit of the hospitals. There was an immense attendance, the edifice being crowded, but the Royal personages did not take part m the celebration.

Olive won th« battle of Plassey, and established our Empire on a firm foundation ; m 1817 our tran quil hold on the country was assured by the final extinction of the MahratU power and the allied Pindarsees ; m 1837 came the first Afghan war, when British 'extension westward reoeived its first de oided ohook ; 1817 saw the Paojtub made practically a British provinot ; 1857 brought the outbreak of the Sapoy mutiny; In 3877 Queen VfatorU became Empress of India ; and lastly 10 jrcari lat«r, comes Jubilee year.
