SCHOOL COMMITTEE ELECTIONS.

There is no doubt whatever that there is great need for reform m the manner m which School Committee elections are conducted, and over and over again this proposition has been affirmed by meetings of householders, and by School Committee Conferences, and it is not a little disappointing that the efforts pnt forth from session to session by the member for Waimate aud others have not as yet been successful m achieving the desired reforms. Curiously enough, too, this failure to give «ffect to the general desire has not been because the House of Representatives dissents from the popular view — the conrary, md ed, bfing the case, as the School Com mittees Election Bill, or l<ducatioual Franchise B : ll as for the past two sessions it has been intituled, has no less than six times m as many successive years passed its t-econd reading, and has been four times sent up to the Legisla tive Council. Twice the accidents of the session have prevented its reaching its final stage m the House, and once it was lost m the Legislative Council under very'peculiar circumstances. It had pssed the second real ing m that Chamber, but was challenged on the motion for committal, when one honor able member, who intended to give his toico with the " Ayes," gave it m advertently with the " Noes," the vote thus counted wiih the noes making a tie. The member m question at once explained the error, but the Speaker refused to allow the division list to be corrected, and although had this been done the " Ayes " would have " had it " by a majority ot two, gave his casting vote with tbo noes. After bo many ricisftitudes it is to be hoped that the • seventh attempt — wbi«h will no doubt be made next year — will successful. For there are four maters which it is especially desirable should be amended m connection with the election of School Committees, 'ihes care— First, that there should be a more intelligible and explicit definition of the franchise, the term " householder " as defined by the Act, being now open to very various interpre tation ; second, that the nomination should be separated from the election so as to enable the voters tt know before hand the names of the candidates ; third, that some better provision should be made for the conduct of the election itself, and fourth that that strange excrescence upon the system — peculiar to Pchool Committee elections — tho cumulative vote should be done away with As re gards the first point it is only necessary to state it, because universal experience has demonstrated the unsatisfactoriness of tho present condition of things; and an regards the second it must bo patent that householders could exercise their votes more satisfactorily if before the date of the election opportunity were afforded of enquiring into tho relative merits of the candidates for office. And m answer to the objection, that it would involve expense, it may be pointed out that there need not be any expense in volved, as the posting of a list of nominations on tho schoolhouse doors womld give all tho publicity required, Th \u25a0 making of better provision for the conduct of the election is no doubt a matter of greater difficulty, but unless School Committee Elections are to be altogether a farce something Hko a rotors' roll is an absolute necessity, especially m the large centres of popu fUon, wfeeri under Ui9 e*ietiu£ state of

things it ia impossible to know who ia entitled to vote and who is not. As to the cumulative vote its raison d'etre was the idea that it would provide for the representation of Catholics on the School Committees and thus do away with the objection of Catholics to our present system of State Education. But it has wholly failed to realise that result and is availed of for purposes very foreign to the designs of those who foisted it into the Act. For example at last year's election of a Committee m au Otagan up-country district a certain candidate secured his election bj bringing up a number of Chinamen from a mining camp and getting thorn each to poll " 7 " m his favor. Surely a system which admits of such abuses as that ought to be speedily renounced. Altogether there iB a very strong case m favor of a reform of this part of our Educational machinery, and we reit rate tlie hope that that reform will not be much longer dela e&

WHO IS MOTHER SEIGEL.

She is a lady, who by the merest accident has made a mot valuable discovery, and she is creating the wildest enthusiasm all over the coun'ry, and «vetybody is talking about her and asking WHAT IS MOTHER SF.IGEL'S REPUTATION? And she tells them to r^ad the thousands oi letters, something Ike the following from Mr Perkins : — f A WONDERFUL TESTIMONIAL. "Grove Pharmacy, Baling, W., Jan 2, 188?. .••Your medicine must be the most wonder foil discovery, for during my experience of more than twenty years. I nevtr knew any proprietary or patent medicino m such universal favour and demand. It is simply extraordinary, and if I were to send you an account of every, statement msule to me m its favour, you would have to publish a separate book to contain my testimonials alone. (Signed) " Thomas J. Pkrkins." And then people ask— WHAT DOES MOTHER SEIGEL DO GIVES RELIEF AT ONCE. «• 59, Bloomfield road Plumstead, "Jan. 7, 1885. " I find the sale of your medicines increases every year, and everyone speaks well of them that tries them. I know a lady tint aten^ed the Female Hospital m Soho-square for some tn»nihs, with pains m back and side, and bilious, and could t>ke no food, but got no benefit from any of the n.edicines they gnve her. Before she had taken all the contents of O'>e bottle of your syrup she felt relief, and is now quite well. (Signed) "W. K. Bakek." TUE EFFECT WAS MARVELLOUS. "Medical Hall, Bangor, Jan. 5, 1885. "I hear people constantly speaking very highly of Seigel's Syrup. There is a case of a young married lady h Anglesey who had been suflering from stomach asthma for a long period, who had consulted some of the best physicians of ihe day, but without deriving any benefit. She was daily getting woree, but at last a friend ptrsuaded her to try Seigel's syrup. She procured a bo' tie, and the effect was marvellous ; sh rap dly improved, and now she is as stiong and healthy as e»er she has been. (Signed) " H. Lloyd.Jonks." WiiAT IS MOTHFR SEIGEL GOOD FOR? POES NOT RESTORE THE DEAD, BUT SAVES THE LIVING. Mr J. W. Savill. of Dunmow, Essex, writes,— September, 1884:— "I introduced your medicines into l»unmow almost as soon as they were brought out m London. I sold m a short time eighteen pounds* worth. I have known many grand cases of permanent cures ; and, as yet, no case of failure, r ot wit^standing many competitors, Mother Seigel's Syrup holas it- own ground. I be lieve it a good medicine— it will not restore I the dead to life-, but it appears to save the j living from dying. j A CASE OK UKAVEL CUBED, "Feltham, Jan. 6. 1885. " It has always given me pleasure to re commend your medicines to my customers, and the results of their use have invariably been most satisfactory. I could furnish you many testimonials. One case just now occurs to my mind. A c jnstablc of the police force of 'looting, S. vY., where 1 for many years had a shop, was a patient of mine, suflering from a bad attack of » ravel. He was per suaded to try ' Mother Seigel's Syrup. He pure; used a bottle af. my shop, anl by the time he had taken half of it he reported him se-f *o me as quite cured. The effect was simply miraculous. (Signed) '•]. D. Floranch." IS MOTHER SEIGEL RELIABLE? "Would respectable chemists write like the following if not? SURGICAL OPERATION AVEH'I ED. "Ticehurst, Dec, 1884. Mr Edw/vR!) Cokkk. Chemist, writes : " Your me.'icine maintains a steady sale m this district, and is well cs'abiished m general favor. I know an o'd man, over seventy, who some three or foui years ago was advised to submit to the operation for stone. He certainly was suffering from some distressing symptoms, and could scarcely walk. Instead of taking that advice he tried Seigel's Syrup, with the result that, after one bottle, lie could walk about fairly well, and, baying taken three or four 2s bi bott cs, he wai completely cured. He is still about, hale and hearty for his years. If any of the symptoms of the old trouble come on, he takes a few doses of the Syrup, and all is well again." WHAT PEOFLE SAY ABOUT MOTHER SEIGEL. AN EXPERIENCE Or FORTY YEARS. " Cosham, Hants, Tan. 2, 1885. "My customers, over a wide country dis trict, *re not very demonstrative, and I have no written testimonials to send ; but verbal admiration of your medicine is m the ascend* ant, and my experience of forty years assures me that no other preparation has «o rapidly acquired a popularity, and go firmly main tains its reputation as Mother ScietTj Syrup, (Signed) "TUOWA9 H.

The manner iv which the Egyptian Govern* tnent reoognisea the eorvioes of Genernl Gordon is thown by the following faot : Bills drawn on the Government by General Gordon daring the siege of Khartoum amounting to £40,000 have been dishonored by the Government, the latter having obtained a decision from the Cairo mixed tribunal m their favor. . The holders of the bills have commenced an action against the private estate of General Gordon for payment. Tbe best medicine is Sander and Bont>' Eucalypti Extract.

Although Lister's dressing was applied, the seoretion became, two days later, very copious, and had adopted a foetid, decomposed character. The temperature rose enormously. In consequence tbe dressing was removed, and on its place were made during the day-time repeated irrigations with Eucalypti Extract. The offensive foeter dis- appeared very soon, tbe fever abated witbin a few days, and tbe patient recovered after the lapse of several weeks. In this instance we must not lose sight of the faot that the latter treatment saved the patient's life" — (Advt.) 8
