"A POLITICIAN WITH A CONSCIENCE."

The New York " Voice," a prohibition journal, has published an eulogy delivered j by 3MDsa WitUrd on the occasion of the death of John B, Finch, m which ehe characterises the late temperance oratot ■s " natural politician, but he was that rare and masterly creation, a politician with a conscience." In his last public speech only an hour before he dropped dead m the Eastern Der. 6t, Boston, Mr Finch uttered these noble truthß :— The rights of freemen make the duties of free men. A man's ballot la hU opinion of public measures and public men. It is no\ only hlB right, but his duty, to Inves tigate. Public opinion is collected In the , ballot box one day m the year. An election Ii simply a trial of Issues, and it 1b a man's duty to vole. He olosed his last speech with these words, addressed to young men : • Boys, we can't give yon offices ; but if yon want a chance to fight for mothers, borne and conscience, and asr>i ; nst -be grog-shop and monopolies, cum wuh us as we will oarry the bannsr 0/ Prohibition until m the White House Bits a man who believes m the principles of the Prohibition paity.' And after that be spoke no more.

THE DIVORCE BILL.

Mr Samuel's Divorce Extension and Amendment Bill is an attempt to carry into effect, m connection with the marriage laws, the proverbial principle that " What is sauce for the goose should be sauce. for the gander," mso far as it proposes to give to a wife the came right, of claiming a dissolution of marriage, on the ground of infidelity, that belongs to the husband when the wife is unfaithful to her marriage vows. We cannot understand how any liberal minded) fair man, can posßibly contend ■ sgainst, what appears to us, to be so obviously just a principle, and yet we learn that it was bitterly opposed and this particular clause resisted by the use or abuse of the forms of the House m the Committee on the Bill on Thursday night. It Beems to us that some of the opponents failed to notice the distinction between rendering ft marriage void and rendering it voidable ; the mere com mission of the breach of faith not ipso facto annulling the marriage, but being only a ground upon whioh it might, be annulled upon petition, and yet these are two very different things. We think that Mr Samuel is quite right m seeking to place the sexes on a footing of equality, and are quite with him m * holding that either party, to a mutual contract, should have the same rights as the other m the event of the breach of that contract, and this indeed was affirmed three or four sessions ago by the House, and would, we believe, be affirmed ugain, if a vote were taken m a full House. The tacticß of the op ponents of the Bill are directed to the prevention of this, and it is unsatisfac tory to find as the result that these tactics were so far successful on Thurs day as to have wearied out hon members who, towards the morning, drifted homewards, leaving only a bare quorum. When work upon this Bill is resumed m Committee on Wednesday week, we hope that obstructive tactics will be aban doned, and that the decision of a full House upon the matter will be obtained. The Bill is not limited to this one pro vision, but proposes also to make at tempted murder, wilful desertion for seven years, or the commission of crime, resulting m a sentence of penal servitude for life, or for seven years, or upwards, causes for divorce. It is, we think, reasonable, that this should be the case, but for our own part we should be glad to see the first point, that of placing the sex upon an equality, gained, and the others may perhaps stand over for farther consideration. Probably too it would be wise, m view of the terms of the reply of the Home Secretary, to the New -outh Wales Government with reference to a similar Bill from which the Queen's assent was withheld, to add a clause suspending the operation of the proposed measure until after the passing of a special Act m a future j Parliament, fixing the date upon which it shall take effect, it being plainly inti mated by the Imperial Government that Her Majesty's assent is only withheld until it has been conclusively shown that the proposed legislation is m ac cordance with the general desire of the people.

Some curious titles are given to sermon § and Napier is the place where those titles are regularly advertised m Saturday's papers. As a sample we quote the following from the local eolnmns of Saturday's " Telegraph." The Rev J. Edwards will preach m the Methodist Free Church to-morrow, m the morning on "Weak-kneed Conformity m Religion," and m the evening on "Another Bock m tbe Ctadle of the Deep." All seats are free. The sobjeot of the Rev J. Q. Paterson's sermon tojnorrow morning will be "Christ |n the Heart." The subject m the evening will be, "Is the Everlasting Doom of Men fixed at Death, or have they another Chance m the ' Future life. At St. Andrew's Church, Port Ahuriri, the subject of the sermon to- morrow morning will be " Christ and Trade." In the evening the subject will be •• Some People's Difficulties Explained." Here is an item of deep interest to an? on* desirous of realising on an insurance notioy According to " Fire and Water " Field- Marshall Whitoomb, of Boston, U. &A has been recently experimenting with, rots' and snatches, ahut up m a cape togetbw,. m order to ascertain whether they were liiely t 0 oauße fires or not. In the absence oj other known cause, frequent fires have be»n ascribed to their agency, while at the. same time many underwriters affeoted to- sooff at the idea The question may, however, now be con' sidered as settled. The very first night that Marshall Whitoomb's rats were left alons with the matches four fires were oauseel, aad not a day passed while the experiment was being tried that fires w,ere not set m thi*way. Tbe rate were well fed, but they seamed to find something m the phoephoras ifcat they liked.
