SEVEN REASONS WHY.

Does anyone ask why the New Zealand Allianoe Instate on a Direct Popular Veto 1 The question ia a fair one, we will reply to it.* j (1.) We demand the Popular Veto * power, beoauao we know of no other way | , of gotting a full and fair expression of the will of the people. When anyone can find or Invent a better or aurer teat wo ' will adopt It. J (2 ) We ask for a Direct Voto because It is a fundamental Constitutional right, Inherent and inalienable. (3 ) We|dem»D«l the Direot Veto booause Boaids, Benches, or Committees, whether Grown appointed or popularly sleeted, • can always be "got at" by the liquor power, with its enormous money Interests, and the Ugal *nd illegal appliances^ o*n purchase and oomoaand, for cajolery, briber y, corruption, and intimidation. Ik li not, however, easy to cajole, corrupt, or intimidate a whole community aotiDg for the eoEimon jreal. ] (4.) Another reason why we oling to our < demand for a Direot Popular Veto is beoaose "It is understanded of the people." The oommon people can at onoe oomprehend it aa by an Instinct ; and they respond to it gladly whenever and wherever It Is put before them. The anomalies, perplexities and inequalities of licensing systems and license amendment Mhemea they do not understand, and can never bf «ni'ed upon or enthusiastic for them. But a Direot Vote on a simple and direot Issue — Lioense or no Lioanse t •—Liquor Traffic or no Liquor Tr&fno t— this they can and do understand . It Is •n issue io manifestly just, so reasonable and urgent, that their enthusiasm is aroused, and conscience and oommon tense respond with the swift lnetitiOt of ■elf preservation— for the protection of Rome, with all Us endearing and sacred Interest*. (5.) Again, we demand the Direot Popular Veto, but not as a substitute for other machinery and methods of regulat ing the issue and limitation of lloonses. Let oar ablest statesmen and oleverest license reformer* frame the most perfect and ooavenlent plans for dealing with the licensed liquor traffic, whenever the public are so blind and perverse as to wish for la existence. The Popular Veto power will not binder but will vastly aid the lioenalng authority to restrict and regulate. It will be a reserve foree — a possible and potent weapon to be ÜBed whenever and wherever the people feel that the traffio is not a blessing but a curse— not a needed convenience but an Intolerable nuisance. The Direot Veto is, therefore, merely the complement of •ny and every possible system of license And regulation. (6.) We stick to our demand for the Direot Popular Veto power because we want an effectual measure. We have waited long enough, until our patience has ceased to be a virtue. After all this Immense delay we are not m the mode to be put off with an unworkable and in efficient measure of so-called Looal Option, which will not let the real will of the community prevail, Sir William Fox and his fellow -workers have always demanded some " efficient measure of Looal Option," and do not mean to be baulked or betrayed by a sham measure, not Intended to grip and throttle the traffic, but de signed merely to " control," and "-regu late," and perpetuate it. (7.) Another and urgent reason why we deem the Direot Popular Veto not only essential but of paramount Import ance, is that so/oh a Veto would be regarded as a settlement bo fair and bo conclusive that all good citizjna and lovbib of taw and order would accept the decision as the will of the community, against which there can he no appeal. — v New Zealand Allianoe Pamphlet," No. 12.

Cardinal Manning on Sunday, April 1, at the Pro.Cathedral, Kensington, performed tnother ol thoße astonishing teurs do ford which render it difficult for his flock to believe that he really ie an older man than Mr Glad stone.

POISON IN THE ASHES

MANY people believe that Nature has somewhere a remedy for every dise»se So many and so terrible are the ills of life' »nd so slight Ui» pleasure we get as time flies jwst,. that such a belief is the least we can show m a gracious and all-wise Providence A few remedies— but, alas, how fewr.-have been found. Others, so far, lie hidden from human inquiry. Occasionally daath follows quickly on the heels of the evil— an illustra tion of the dangerous character of the ailment to be relieved. For example, Nervous Dyspepsia is a com paratiyely new disease, growing out of the conditions oi modem life. It is a joint affec tion of the digestive organs and cf the nervous system. These two were formerly treated as separate aijments, and -it was left- fox Hie dear sighted thinkers to prove that the b sis of this terrible and often fatal complication lies chiefly m the disordered and depraved functions rjr digestion and nutrition. They reasoned thr rt . If we can induce the stomach to do its w ■>*" and stimulate the excreti^ orga n S to driv e out of the body the ptf sono us waste , fl aUei nnhif W Th nS a - ftP - V the life -e ivin & dements of the food haw been absorbed, we shall have conquered > T ervoUS Dyspepsia and Nervous And they were right, kC » t ne infallible power of SeigeA's Syrup m less complicated though similar diseases, they resolved to test it fully, m this. To leave no ground for doubt, they prescribed the remedy m hundieds of cases which had b"cn pro nounced incurable — with perfect success m every instance where their directions as to living and diet were scrupulously followed, nervous Dyspepsia and Exhaustion may almost be called a peculiarly English disease. To a greater or less extent half the people of this country suffer from it— both sexes and all ages. In no country m the world are there so many insane asylums filled to overflowing, all resulting from this alarming disease. Its leading symptoms are these ; frequent or con tinual headache j a dull pain at the base Oi the brain ; b?d breath ; nauseous eructations * the rising of sour and pungent fluids to the throat ; a sense of opp-ession and faintness at the pit of the stomach, flatulence ; wakeful ness and loss of seep; disgust with food even when weak from tne need of it ; sticky and slimy matter on the teeth or m the mouth especially on rising m the morning ; furred »nd coated tongue ; dull eyes ; cold hands and feet ; constipation ; dry or rough skin ; inability to^ fix the mind on any labor or calling continuous attention ; and oppressive and sad forebodings and fear. All this terrible group Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup removes by its positive, power ful, direct, yet painless and gentle action upon the functions of digestion and assimilation. Those elements of the food that build up and strengthen the system are sent upon their mission, while all waste matters (the ashes of life's fire) which, unremoved, poison and kill, are expelled from the body through the bowels, kidneys, and skin. The weak and prostrated nerves are quieted, toned, and fed by the purified blood. As the result, health, with its enjoyments, blessings, and power, returns to the sufferer, who had perhaps abandoned all hope of ever seeing another vrcll day. Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup is for Bale by all chemists and medicine vendors, and of the proprietors, A. J. White. Limited, 15 Faidtogdon Road, London. ' ""
