The Ashburton Guardian. Magna est Veritas et Prævalebit. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1888. PARLIAMENTARY ROWDYISM.

off his right hand than have uttere d and so od, making tho fullest retractation ; but this one redeeming feature, that of a full apology, excepted, the whole scene is lowering to tho dignity of representative institutions and a ro proach to the colony iv which it occurred. Perhaps even worse scenes have occurred m New South Wales, and while we may congratulate ourselves that nothing like this has occurred m tho New Zealand Parliament as yet, we think that. of late years we have noticed a declension m tone which is sufficient to justify a warning lest one day we may have to | chronicle a parallel to such occurrences as ! have unfortunately been witnessed else where, and of which the foregoing is a specimen. It is well to guard against the beginnings of evil, for the downward path is proverbially easy.

Tho spectacle which has been presented during the past two op three weeks m tho Victorian Parliament may well serve, as the French phrase it, pour encouragtr lea autrcs — that iB to say should operate as a warning to the legislators of our own colony to be watchful against tho Be ginning of discourtesies and exhibitions of ill-temper such as are likely to lead up to tho like disgraceful pror ceedings. Our Melbourne correspon dent writes that a mortal struggle has been going on over the electoral Bill which " culminated m a crisis that for the time-being paralysed the House, A pitched battle was fought m a con tinous sitting of twenty-two hours, and a symposium of brow- beating, bullying, and stonewalling was in dulged m that has simply raised a howl of indignation right through the Colony." Another correspondent, enter ing into fuller particulars, gives the following account of a painful scene during this sitting m which the principal actors were tho Minister for Lands, Mr Dow, and the leader of the Opposition, Mr Bent. This is tho picture he draws: — " Mr Bent was speaking on tho Bill, and denounced the Government. Mr Dow was recumbent on the Ministerial benches, and reading. ' 1 here,' said Mr Bent, pointing to the Minister, * is the Whitechapel murderer,' referring to a stinging remark by Mr Dow m his speech at Cobra on Mpntfay night. The Opposition cheered the" reference, and Mr Bent went on to say that 'if the photograph of every member of the House were sent to Madame Tuspaud they would have no difficulty m identifying] Mr Dow as the Wbitechapel murderer. The Opposition cheered again, and Mr Dow slowly raised himself and said, bo that his voice could be heard all over the Chamber. ' You mean the man who went to the lake's entrance with another man's wife. You had better leave me alone.' The remark shocked every member, but Mr Bent said nothing. Later on Mr Bent twitted Mr Dow with having travelled m a special train from Cobra. ' Shall we give you a special to the lake's entrance?' asked Mr Dow, and the House was plunged m uproar. ' Say that again,' challenged Mr Bent 'No don't, added Mr Zox, and Mr Dow, who by this time was very heated, asserted that he would say anything to a man who attacked and insulted him. Members on all sides cried for peace, and the last words came from Mr Bent, and wcro to tho effect that there was no truth m what Mr Dow had paid. Mr Bent called upon the Minister to make an unqualified denial of tho remark. Mr Bent then entered into details as to the persons who were with him at the time, and assured hon. members that there was not a particle of truth m the suggestion involved, which had arisen out of some practical joking." After all this it is satisfactory to find that the Minister had tho grace to make the amende honorabh, expressing his regret at having been goaded fe|to making a statement which he would rather haw cat

Meßpra Hallenstein Bros, have presented to the Ashburton Kifloa and Guards trophies as shooting prizes. The Hon Mr Fergus, Minister for Dafenoe ' who has just returned from Australia, pa3Sed through Ashburton yosterday en route to Ohriatohuroh, where he will meet the Premier, returning with him to the Empire City m a day or two. The manufacture of the oable to be laid at Banjoewangie and Roebuck Bay, about 1300 miles m length, ooßting nearly £120,000 is almost oompleted and it will be despatched during Deoeraber. When laid the Australian communication ought to be thoroughly Beoured." The Hons Mitohelson and Fisher are ex« peoted to arrive m Wellington from Sydney on the 19th inst., at which time there will be a general rendezvous of Ministers m that oity. Wo understand that the Premier and Mr Mitohelson will pay their promised visit to Central Otago about the first week m Deoember. The Royal Ark of Friendship Lodge R.A.0.8., held their usual pleasant gathering at their Lodge room, Boyal Hotel, Moore street, and have certainly no reason to complain of their Host's (Bro H. Davia) en deavours to administer to their oomforls, he having gone to considerable expense m further beautifyihg the Lodge room. After the uaual election of officers the Lodge waa duly closed. ■ Writing of the Marlborough goldfields the correspondent of an exchange Bays that the prospectors at Waikakaho continue to get exoellent gold. In two days they obtained about £140 worth, one piece weighing 16oz 15dwt. I firmly believe that m a little while we shall hear of many other good claims on theae diggings: The miners at Waikakaho are now going through the same ordeal as the miners did at Mahakipawa, three or four months ago. •The " Bush Advocate " says that there exists a rather singular animal at Smith/a Siding, near Makotuku. This is a pig of the breed known aB the " Yorkshire," and the strange part of the affair is that the animal never übcs its forefeet, but moves about on its hind legs like a kangaroo, although not quite bo nimbly as that ourioualy oonßtruoted oreature. This pig is some seven weeks old, and, has never been known to put any weight on its forefeet unless when it Bits down. A serious aooident happened at Waimate yesterday morning. Mr Dooley'a thorough bred entire First Lord having turned up at Messrß Hardy and McGoverin'e, Bearoh was made for the groom, a man named Harry Williams, who had been leading him. The poor fellow was found m a djtoh, by the side of tho main road, m an unconsoioqa state and fearfully cut and bruised about the head, some of his ribs being also broken. It is supposed that he was attacked by the horse. Tho unfortunate man was conveyed to the looal hospital, and is not expeoted to recover. At the Wesloyan district, meeting held &t' Ohriatohuroh yesterday, the following re solution was passed on the motion of the Rev J. N. Buttle: "That Rakaia, Metbi en, and Liuriston be separated from the Ash burton circuit, to constitute with the other places the Methven Home Mission station."

Court this morning when a civil oase came up. for hearing, Mr Purnell, for the defence, applied to have it struok out, on the ground that the summons had been Borved less than forty-eight hours before the day of hearing. Mr Crisp, for tho plaintiff, submitted that a former Magistrate had ruled that if servioe was made fqrty-eight hours before tho hour tho Court sat, it would be sufficient. The servioe of Bummona, m the oase m question, was made a^out nine o'plook on Tuesday, the Court sitting at eleven o'olook on Thursday. Mr Purnell arguod that the summons should have been served at least on Monday. Tho Magistrate would not strike the oase out, thinking it would bo suffioient if it were adjourned for a week. In reply to Mr Crisp, the Magistrate Bafd that it waa his opinion that service should he made fqrty eight houra before the day of hearing, instead of forty-eight hours before the hour of Bittine of the Court, A paragraph has been going the rounds of the presa about the supposed abandonment by Dr Riohardson of teetotal principles, which haß been exercising the minds of his admirers and followers. Mr J. Giles writes to the "New Zealand Herald " on tha subieot as follows ; —'"How the mistake prjgluated I oannot say, but tho name of J)r Richardson has been substituted for that of a yet more eminent man, the late Dr W. B. Carpenter, the leading physiologist of his day, was for many years a Btrong advocate of total abstinence, and habitually preaohod that doctrine from his professional chair; But a fuller experience seems to have led him. to modify both bis theory and pj;ao,tiqe, and any. of your readers who have tho means of searching the files of the " Times " for the obituary notice which appeared at the time of his lamented death, tyo 6e three years ago, will find m substanoo, and, to tho best of my recollection m words, too, tho original of the paragraph whioh has mystified so many by the unaooountable insertion of the name of Dr Riohardson." Writing of Australian ontovpriso m things thoatrical the " Paria Figaro '? tattles thuß :— Speaking of Australian theatrical doings, that young aspiring colony has been trying to seoure the priceless Sarah Bernhardt, who,^ knowing foer value, appears to expect to be paid as ■ such. • Signor Teasero, whilst m Paris, it seems, aßked the great aotrase, " Would she visit Australia ? " Madame re plied, " Oh, yes i she was quite willing (q go! to Australia — quite willing to go almost any where," And then an to her terms ? " Well," answered the divine Sara, "firotly, I require a oontract for not less than 100 performances 10,000 franos (say, £400; to bo paid for eaoh £40,000 for the whole. Secondly, half a million franpa (say, £30,000) must bo paid into the bank m advanoe as a guarantee against a managerial crisis. Next, all travelling and hotel expenses must bo de. frayed, and I must always have at my dis posal, freo of cost, when on Bhore, a well appointed qarrlage. Then thero are a few othor little items over whioh wo need not talk at present— anyhow, j am sure we'd not quarrol over them,"

Tho ABhburton Crioket Club haa arranged to play matohe3 against the Midland and Lancaster Park Clubs, at Chriatchuroh, on Friday and Saturday, the 9th and, 10th inst. The ABhburton team 3 will be ohosen from the following :— Meosra G. W. Andrewa, Blake, Buohanan (2), Denshire, Dumaresq, J. Fooks,' Hawson, Jameson, Kneen, J. Sawle.T. Sawle, Strange, and Arthur Simpson. Friday's matoh will take place at Hagley Park, and play will oommenoe at ten a.m. The Rev Thomas Spurgeon, of tha Auok land Tabornaole, will preach m the Odd fellows' Hall on Sunday afternoon at three o'olook. In doing so he will fulfil an old promise miide to the Baptist and Presbyterian Churohes here, and the time and place have been fited so as not to clash m any way with the ordinary Sunday servioes held m Ashbur ton. A collection will be taken m aid of the funds of the Baptist and Presbyterian Sunday 'Schools. A Government Inspection Parade of the Aahburton Volunteers was held at the Drill ■shed; on' Tuesday evening, The numbers on parade were:— Rifles 45 (Captain Dolman), Guards 86 (Oapt Sparrow), CaSeta 30 (Sergt- Mftjor Hayes). The two senior oompaniea were exeroised m battalion drill by Major Douglas r and Oapt Fooks. Col Bailey waa Inspecting Officer. He expressed himself pleased with the number, and hoped to see as many of each company as could attend present at a parade to be held at Timaru on Deo. 16th. The Colonel also announced that a military tour nament would be held at Timaru on Boxing Day, and as free passes for the railway, had been obtained; be hoped to see the Ashburton Companies well represented. A rather strange oaae of paraeouting a small boy has been brought under the attention of the police authorities at Par* ramatta. Four boya were m the vicinity of Harris Park, when one of the number was struck by a stone. The boys instantly picked out a little fellow close by, whom they apparently regarded as the culprit, and oatohing him they took him to a.paddook, cut down a clothes line, and suspended him by the neck to a tree. Taking him down, they reversed the position, and hanged him up by the heels. The next "recourse was" to plaoe the boy on top" of a fenoe, and pull him forward by the hands, so that he fell with great force upon his stomaoh; By this maltreatment the boy received Berioua in ternal injuries. The boy grew woree, and the doctors in t attendanoe have not much hope or his reoovery. The " Lyttelton Times " m recording another shipment of piga for Sydney per the Wakatipu on Wednesday by Mr Jameß Rowe says :— lt is, pleasing to notioe the continued demand for our well-bred Berkshire and Yorkshire pigs. Mr Rowe has shipped no less than 101 wthin 12 montha to Viotoria, New South Wales,, and South Auatralia, and has obtained^ twenty-nine prizes at the Sydney Centennial Exhibition and at the National t Show, Melbourne, thia year, - the prizes 'amounting to £104 133. Our New Zealand Berkehires maie a splendid cross with the Australian Berkßhires* One sow under 12 months' old at the National Show, Melbourne, realised. to her owner £116 133 (sold for £73 10a; ohampion prize, £40; Association prize, £3 8s). Her sire was bred by Mr W. Boag, and exported to South Australia m 1887. A Christohuroh visitor to Melbourne says that when calling *t Hobarfc, he found de pression existing as m New Zealand, and every one crying out. The timber export was lessening, and while the inhabitants im. ported their oabbiges, turnips, eto, from Viotoria, it was evident that they were not making the best use of their own colony. It waa surprising to meet a orowd of New Zealandors immediately the boat arrived at tho wharf, and it was said to be tho praotice of our late fellow colonists to make a point of attending when eaoh Btoamer arrived. It waa not long before one got posted up m regard to how eaoh ono mot had prospered oi otherwise. Ho had talkod with over 200 persona who had left this colony, and of that number all, oxcopt two who had been ex ceptionally luoky, would be glad to return ii any employment would await their arrival here.

THE SACKVILLE-WEST AFFAIR

[Phe Press Association.]

London, November 6 . Papers laid on the table of the House of Commons, relating to the dispute between t . the United States Government and Sir Sackville . West, indicate that Mr Edward J. Phelps, the United States: Minister m London; had asked for the latter's recall, giving as the primary reason that Sir Sackville West had made a statement to those interviewing him after the pnblication ot his letter, imputing discreditable motives to Presidant Cleveland and the Senate m connection with the fisheries treaties. The Marquis of Salisbury replied to Mr Phelps that before taking action he must be m possession of the remarks alleged to have been used. These the latter agreed to supply, but m the meantime Sjf Sackville West received his passports, although Mr Bayard, Secretary of State, had pre viously disclaimed his intention of interfering with domestic policy. Sir Sackville West complained to the Buglish Government that Mr Bayard had unjustly impugned his integrity, Lotd Salisbury reminded Mr Phelps that the passports had been sent before the Government had received the re marks complained of. f fceoelved November 8, 12 30 p.m.) London, November 7.

DEATH OF WOLD COLONIST

A fine old colonist has jaet pact away at Waimate, fall of yaaru and honor, m the peraou of Mr J. W. Gslit. The de ceased who had reached for beyond the "allotted apari" of the PdtUmiat, was born m Lambeth, London, m July, 1808, and wbb oonae^aently In the 81st year of his age, As a lad he was taught tha bifslneaa of a tailor, but uubaequently wbb m the servioe of (Lionel Oheeny, and u>f Sir Jobn Oharieß Ramaden of Yorkshire. After this he waa for some time employed on the Great Western Railway aa a pointsman, at Slough, and on. the foimv lion of the Metropolitan Police by Sir Robert Peel, Mr Gaitt joined the force, m which he Borved for some years; At the age of 25 he married hia first wife, by whom eight children were born to him ; of theee five died young, and m the year 1857 Mr and Mta Gaitt with their three surviving children emigrated to New Zealand, arriving 'm Wellington by the ahip Alma, and proceeding to Wanganui, where they roai ed for aeven yeara, Mr Gaitt carry ng on buslnesa at hia trade on Taupo Qaay. During his lealdaßoa m Wanganut ifie Maori troubles weie at their height, and Mr Gaitt did hia share of active aervioj, and In after life was full of atioedote of hia experiences onaeutry ago and other aoldlerlng duiiea. lirfSe* he dame South and tcok up hla residence at Wainoa'e, where one of his aona who had preceded him by two yeara waa already settled down. Here f dt a time he worked at his trade uutil, having acquired some Jittle property m land and houaeß, this was no longer n.oesaary. Being, however, unable to Jive an idle life, he undertook the delivery of the local -paper, and Ttas up betinrep on publißhiDg mornlnga vt(ater and summer j going hia rounds m all weathers with un varying punctuality and oheoifu neßs.
