JUBILEE DRI NX BIL L.

*. — . How much "good cheer" wsa there § during the Jubilee last year ? Dr Dawßon Barns, m his National Drink Bill for 1887, Ib ready with the answer. The Bill was higher m 1887 than it waa In 1886. The Inoreaßa cannot— ex hypothesi, when the United Alliance advocate is making an exparte statement— be due to a normal deoieaßo of temperance ; therefore It is due to some abnormal cause. What can this have been bat the Jubilee, and here therefore are the figures :— D r, Blll S::: ::: '%.%% Jubilee Drink Blil ... £2,047,895 That is a formidable total, but Dr Dawson Borne aeeß one element of oom fort; Jubilee, like Christmas, may bring good oh«er, but It does not coma once a year. On the contrary, this disturbing cause m temperance statistics " cannot operate again during aeveral general i mi Another eanse for satisfaction is, we think, that the Increase was mostly In beer and aad wine, and hardly at all In aplrita. We appear on the average to have each of ub drunk the Queen's health In a shilling's worth of gin.— -"Pall Malt G Z3tte."

VILLAGE SETTLEMENTS.

». . Week after week, month after month, the big block organs try to decry the Village Settlements, founded by the late Government, and mainly upon the prin ciple that no man should own or occupy leBB than 10,000 acres of land. It is astonishing to notice the diligence with which they will pile up mis-atat9ment upon mis-statement, until they have raised a vast mountain of falsehood, with which they hope to orush the small farmer out of existence. More especially do thej ridicule the Pahiatua and Woodville set tlements as being absolute failures. We learn upon the very best reliable authority that exactly the contrary is the case. At Pahiatua alone, a settlement hewn out of the virgin forest by the sturdy ■ettlexs planted by the late Government, upwards of 60 new cottages have been erected during: the last six months. The Crown Lands Ranger reports that if any section is given up there are at once a score or so of applicants for it, and that, m fact, at the present time sections are practically impossible to get— and this is what the big block organs cill failure! Would that New Zealand had more of euch failures, and less of the 10,000 acre blocks, where a couple of shepherds, a rouse-about, and a Chinese cook are the sole beings who find employment,— Napier "News."

THE ORMOND RESOLUTIONS.

Tttfi fact that Sir H. Atkinson did not take the course of adjourning all other business upon the tabling of the resolu tions of the member for Napier has given rise, very naturally, to the impression that Mr Ormond was acting m the capacity of amicus curice and that the resolutions themselves were really those of the Government, but now it appears that while Government were aware beforehand of Mr Ormond's in tention, they are not committed to all the resolutions but will agree to accept only the first, that which proposes the raising of the school age to 6, and will oppose the others, making them vital questions. These others, are as our readers are aware, to discontinue the payment of subsidies to local bodies thus avoiding the necessity of increasing the tea duty and to abandon the proposed primage duty and fund the deficit. From information which reaches us from Wellington we believe that all three resolutions will be defeated, and we hope they will, for to raise the school age m addition to the substitution of " strict " for "working" average would involve the closing of a number of country schools and of the reduction of teachers to starvation wages. Bather than this it would be infinitely preferable to resort to the imposition of a school fee for the upper standards. This indeed we feel sure will have to be accepted and that very Eoon. The discontinuance of sub sidies just at this time would also- be very severely felt, and must be post poned for a year or two, though it is j certain eventually to come, Meantime an increase of the beer duty, as we said on Saturday, would be infinitely pre ferable to a duty on tea, and we hope that the suggestion will not only be made m Parliament, but also acted upon. The proposal made by Mr Ormond to continue the viciouspracticeof funding the deficit, should be rejected by a sweep ing majority. The primage duty is doubt less a novel impost, and might well be objected to if it were possible to do with out it, but we regard the determination of the Treasurer to take the entirely new departure m our finance of boldly and honestly facing the situation, ar,d clearing off arrears as they arise,' ap the most hopeful feature of the Budge'o and one m which be would be supported by both sides of the House, c.en at a cost of a temporary increase of taxation. To. stick to. this honest policy will greatly help the prospects of the new loan, an.d will be the "first step towards placing our credit upon a firm foundation. Taking them all round the Treasurer's proposals deserve support, and they are at any rate vastly to be' preferred as they Btand, rather than as they would be altered, were Mr Ormond's resolutions carried.

We have been a Firm of Analytical Ohomiats for many, many years and have m the long oouroo of tbta time manufactured oertaln Medicines that being baaed on aoientlho formula and abaolnte care and precision m manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far m advanoe of any other Pharmaoeuti- oal Preparations of the. day. How suc- cessful we have besn In this, 1b only to note the extraordinary amount of the calea of our Eaydock n New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to atrte that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Ds Haydock'a New Liver Pilla. The reason ot this de- mand Is because we find In Haydook' New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of oonoentrated medicine. The Victories of Soienoe — Eleotrio Telegraphs, Steam and Printing — revolutionised the whole system of the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet* ter. So, although there are countless Pills need for diseases and claiming much as to their merit, ■ tic remarkable dis- covery of Dr Hnydook has eolipsed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys- tem. The Dootore, whose vast dosea of four 01 five pills enfeeble the stomaoh and paralyse the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with on<) 01 two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dv Hay- dook's New Liver Fills suffices to plaoe the stomaoh In. perfect order creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affected its f uno- tiono are restored, and if the Nervous System is enfeebled, it Is m rlgorated and suntalned. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Provlsce of Burnish, 8.1.
