SWEATING.

London, September 19. In connection with sweating it is stated that the daughter of a peer died of a fever contracted from a riding habit made m one of the slums. The enquiry shows that there is general laxity m the trade upon sanitary matters.

FEDERATION. Sir R. Stout, discussing the federa tion question, says that the borrowing powers of Local Governments should be restricted by the Federal Govern ment. He considers that the question of finance will be the great difficulty in the way of Federation. The States should perform their functions out of revenue alone, unless loans are required for purposes which will pay interest on them. In New Zealand the commercial element, many farmers, and some manufacturers, are in favor of Federa tion. It is incumbent on the pro moters of federation to devise a scheme which will enable the individual States, while contributing to the federal revenue, to liquidate the interest on their own debt. Experts hold that before the con versiou of debt will be practicable the federation of Australia must either be determined upon or abandoned. In their view the former course would be preferable.

They could obtain redress at the ballot box. The censure debate is proceeding.
