The Ashburton Guardian. Magna est Veritas et Prævalebit. MONDAY, JULY 11, 1887. SEDITIOUS SCOUNDRELS.

j In the Southern States of America the terms " mean whites " and " white trash " are contemptuously applied, alike by negro and white man, to a class of degenerate pale-faces who, like the hoodlums and larrikins of our cities, are the human rubbish of civilisation. Having the virtues neither of the des cendants of Japhet nor of the sons of Ham they are almost beneath the scorn of a decent nigger, and are capable of anything and everything that is low minded, dirty and dishonorable. Not that America has altogether a monopoly of this unpleasing variety of the human race, even New Zealand, it would seem, being able to produce at least a few specimens. Only on Satur day we reprinted from the " Lyttelton Times " a telegram from that journal's special correspondent injwhich it was stated that Te Whiti has been encourag ing one of his followers m the breach of the law by carrying on illicit grog-selling among the native people, and thafctr* su : ppbseVto f lfiaW 1 p?a r is\Rfr qi^^ h £ I ?re against the Government have been using their influence to get Te Whiti to assert himself; stating that as the Government had been defeated they had now no power to interfere." The Native Department is said to have undeniable proof of this, and if so, it is sincerely to bo hoped that the mal contents referred to can be made amenable to the law. In years gone by the colony has suffered greatly thiough the machinations of such seditious scoundrels, there being a class of Pakeha-Maoris some of whom have had more to do with stirring up the Native rebellions, which from time to time have cost New Zealand so heavily m the pouring out of blood and the piling up of debt than have the Maoris themselves. But for the conduct of these mean whites, on many occasions trouble would have been averted, or rebellion crushed much more speedily ; and to them, therefore, is due much that the colony has suffered. Happily there is now no danger of another Native war, but these miserable reptiles ar» Still capable of promoting a great deal of mischief, and never omit to take advantage of an opportunity of indulg ing tbe instincts ot their kind. If the law cannot reach them m their present proceedings, it is time that the law were amended so as to enable this to be done, for a change of residence to Mount Eden or Mount Cook m the case of a few of them would, we think, be found to have a most salutary effect, not only upon themselves, but upon others who are disposed to sympathise with 'them m their treasonable and traitorous conduct.

LOCAL AND GENERAL.

A. Sootohman and his wife were coming from Leith to London by' boat. When off the Yorkshire ooast a great storm arose, and the vessel had Beveral narrow esoapes from foundering, «« Oh, Sandy," moaned hiß wife, "I'm na afeard o' deoin', bat I dinna oare to dee at aea." " Dinna think o 1 deem' yet," answered Sandy; "but when ya do, ye'd better be drooned at sea than any whaur else." "An* why, Sandy ?" asked hia wife. "Why?" exclaimed Sandy. "Because ye wouldna oost sac muokle to bury." Messrs Wright, Stephenaon, and Co., m conjunction with Messrs W. Christie and 00. (Oamarn), report the sale of another of Mr Edward Menlove's fine wheat-growing farms (No, 5), at The Tables (Ngapara), to Mr Evan M'Pherson at £12 17s 6d per acre, The farm contains 122 acres. The British belted oruiser Orlando aft her trial recently ezoeeded 19 knots over the measured mile, whioh is the highest speed ever attained by an English man-of-war. The handiness of the ship iB at satisfactory as her speed, for she made a circuit of 480 yds m three minutes, whioh for a vessel 300 ft m length is also a best on record. According to^atest advices from Oreymouth the Midland railway works have not been affeoted to such a degree as might have been expected from the heavy and sudden nature of the recent flood. Of course any loss will fall on the contractors or subcontractors, not on the Company. The only damage ascer tained is the Jobs of some sleepers and | barrows, the washing away of some earth works near Btijlwater, and a fpw smaU Blips. Tha total cost of the repairs will not be at all large, and no appreciable delay will be caused m the completion of the oontraota. S A fretful mother and cross child indicates health, requiring only American Co'e. Hop Bitters to remove. See

Mr E. G. Wright has decided to stand for Avon, and has issued an address to the electors of that district. As soon as the water m the river had gone down sufficiently to allow of work being com menoed the Railway Department put men on to replaoe the pileg m the bridge whioh were washed out by the flood on Wednesday last. The bridge is now so far repaired that trains were able to cross to-day. The Mount Somers Railway Bridge has also been repaired to an extent that will permit of the train oroßsing. The approach to Digby's bridge is completely scoured away, and a considerable stream of water is orossing the road at this point. With referenoe to the recent information for perjury laid against Mr Toner, m connec tion with the now celebrated oaaa of removal of some rickers by Mr Herring, a Ghrist ohuroh paper saya that it is understood that writs have been issued against Mr Herring for malioious proseoution, claiming ■ £500 damages. Mr 0. Truckle, proprietor of the Prinoo Albert Boarding-bouse, has an advertisement elsewhere of special interest to workingmen, m whioh he announces, " to meet the times," considerable reductions on the ordinary rates for board and lodging. A Foxton telegram to the «• Timara Mail " states that at the next sitting of the Otaki Court the Chairman of the Horowhenua Counoil will be sued for £500 for issuing an incorrect return as to the votes polled on the proposal to raise a loan under the Loans to Local Bodies Aot. Some of the votes m dispute were allowed, and the proposal was thus carried by a bare majority. Consider, able interest is taken m the oaee whioh is the first under the Aot. The people of Viotoria have now the right to forward penny poßt cards into the whole of the Australian oolonies with the exception of New Zealand. Viotoria has 1680 miles of railway open for traflSo, Queensland 1555, South Australia 1381, New South Wales 1908— or 228 more than any other Australian colony. The reason for the failure of the Hastings borough loan is thus explained by the local pnper :— " It Beems that through somebody's mistake the people at Home imagined that the seourity to be offered was property to the value of £26,000, whereas that is the annual rateable value, the Property Tax valuation being about £516,000. How this ridiculous blunder has been made we oannot of ojurae say." The other night at Erard's Paris house Joseph Ibofmann, a boy of nine, produced an immense impression as a pianist, and even as a musioal composer, executing pieces of Kalkbrenner, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Liszt, and Weber. It seemed nearly impossible that the little fellow, who is small for his age, could show Euoh power and mastery of technical difficulties, and incessant calls and reoalls evinced the surprise and delight of the audience. The submarine^ telegraph system has made rapid growth, and now embraces 107,000 miles, at a ccst of something like £37,000,000. It may be mentioned, to give an idea of the importance of this system, that the whole length of the land lines now m existence m the world is some 1,750,000 miles, which represent an estimated cost of £52,000,000. The submarine cable Bystem is, with the ex caption of some 7000 miles, entirely undei British oontrol, and has been the result ol nrujatß enterprise. Kefornng to ffie first Offenders Jttooauuii Aot the other day his Honor Mr Justice Rich, mond said he considered that the oasee which should be brought under it were those of young men who had been led away bj bad company, and when, furthermore, there were pereons so muob interested m the offenders to be willing to become sureties foi their good behaviour. One amendment he would like to see m the Act, and that was to provide that the person giving a recognisance under euoh oircumstanoes should have the power of surrendering the prisoner if he did not conform to his (the flurety's) instructions. A great sooial event m Paris has been the elopement of a Jewish heiresg, having m her own right a fortune of twelve millions, with a young cavalry officer of an old Belgian and Catholio family. She told her mother, who is now her only parent, that if Bhe did not consent to her marriage with the young officer Bhe would avail herself of the privilege of German nationality, and get married without leave m some other country than France. She literally carried out her threat, and m the most cool and business like way, taking with her all her peraonal attendants, her horses, dogs and stablemen. At a " mass meeting " at St. James' Hall, Col Sanderson perpetrated a bull whioh almost deserves to rank with that of the orator who Bmelt a rat and deolarad his intention to nip it m the bud. "He did not think," he said, " that the Irish hot water attained boiling heat until November last, when Ireland waa visited by those two Radical Siamese twins- Mr Labouohere and Mr Conybeare— -who came over to Ireland like two Colorade beetles, to infect with a double portion of their venom the Irish stew whioh they came to stir up." Water made boiling by two Siamese twins, like Colorado beetles who infeot an Irish stew with their venom— surely, for a mixture of bad English, bad entomology, bad rhetoric, and bad taßte, this would be hard to beat. 1 Lord Robert Montagu presided at the annual meetings of the Prayer book Revision Sooiety at Exeter hall. The report of the eounoil stated that the object of the sooiety was to direot publio attention to certain de sirable alterations m the Book of Common Prayer whioh had escaped the notice of the reformers. The report was adopted. A new mode of lighting is on trial at the Marlborough Rooms, London. A small gaa flame has an ordinary lamp glass over it, and over this is suspended a small muslin skirt impregnated with incombustible oxides. The gas flame lays hold of these, and the result is j an enormous illuminating power. The light j is white and smokeless. L A farmer boming home one night from 3 market a little tipsy, fell into the burn near I his own door. Next morning, with a sense I . of fallen dignity, he vowed to his wife that j he would have the bourse of the stream diverted. "I dinna ken aboot the Btream \l being diverted," said the comforter, " but 1 1 f daresay the troot were highly amused to Bee I \ Bio a big flounder amang them at sio a time I o' nicht." | The oustom of oelebrating some anniver- J h Jary by the wearing of a flower is carried out J to perfection m Germany.

I protest, both m the interests of ' the commandment and of the workmen I employed. Aa regards the 4th command ment, there will be difference of opinion. ' Some may have no regard for it, and are £ not interested m it one way or the other, ( But even such may be appealed to on f i behalf of the men employed.

I Unfortunately, workmen nowadays get too much rest, and consequently too little ' pay ; but I protest agaiust our Govern ' ment (the Government of a professedly | 5 Christian State), saying to any man, " Ton \ ) must break the Sabbath orlosetbli job." | Granted that Borne of the workmen don't B care when they work:. That is not the ; point ; the Government has no right to ' practically exclude the men who love the > Sabbath from work. It is setting a bad " example to the community. Moreover, it 9 is an offence to the moral Bense of many of the people, I know that tho Sabbath „ was made for map, and not man for the . Sabbath ; and it is because it was made a for him that I, for one, protest against his ft being robbed of it. — Yours, etc., a Christian. c —
