The Ashburton Guardian. Magna est Veritas et Prævalebit. MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 1892. THE IMPERIAL GOVERNMENT.

Mr Gladstone is not to be altogether ermed on hi«» victory over Lord Salis bury's Government The division fas the largest that has ever been t»kei» in J the House ©f Cgngpipns, 680 members | voting out of tie full roll of 170 members. The majority of 40 againbt the Government it exactly what was anticipated. <' This, of course , «om manded the expulsion of LordJSilis burT from office; bub the ch»raetes of the majority must be examined, in order to estimate the probability of Mr Gladstone's being able to hold pover *or, .any length, d(f ■, %iiiae; The party that has held power for the fat'ox years was solid on all material poitts of policy, most of all ao on th«r op position to' granting Home Rule to Ireland. MrGladstone's 350 followers in ihft dfriifaif ;were made up of thwe if notfo^r mHm a policy .and a deader or leaders of is f ati, and of whom the Gladstoniin ÜberaW numbering 275, are tie pnty members whd really ackjor-, Ngo Mm W iML'j-W*- ThR jbvo sections of the Irish party ap agreed with Mr Gladstone and eacb etUeron. ope point, only—tha-t Hone Rule must precede everything else; while the .Labor party have already intiinated,tba't they w|ll sit4n Opposi tion unless their claims receive pnirilf of attctttipn. Than there i» the difl^ culty that nobody know* what Mr Gladstone's Home Rule scheme wil be} it m&y be 9f SU«h ft p^ttre thai some of the Liberals will declin^ to ft, op it way not go far enpugh tp satisfy jihe Irjsl> membert). Fpfeign troubles, wijih which IJome Liberals hmtitaa.yjs been peculiarly unfortunate In dealing, are very likely to cause the new Government some embarrassment • indeed, the present trouble in Afghan istan is, we see by the Home papers, ascribed to the activity of Russian agents in view of Lord Salisbury's .departure from power, and the French annexations near Madagascar, which include some islands generally regarded as British possessions, are said to have been* Carried out under a similar of security, W'*h ■» many dL ff er! ng it is extremely probable thai when Mr Gladstone meets Parliament early next year with his policy he will find himself without a majority of any sort. Twenty defections will turn the scale, and if he can succeed in sitisfy jng all the parties who have put him in power, it will be the greatest p a pgl|ticia ft that he has ever 1 a^^ligh^ f.'A A■jd \

Mynott, butter-dealer, New Plymouth, was presented with a gold watch and chain on Saturday by a con siderable number of farmers. Mr E. M. Smith, M.H.8., made the presentation. Several farmers spoke of what Mr Mynott had doa» towards developing the butter industry in the Taranaki district. .< , •• Mr W. D. Humphreys, Kaiappi, lately of Ashburton, met with a rather severe accident on Saturday. While looking at a piece of meat another piece with a hook m it fell; tha hook striking Mr Humphreys' head inflicted a long cut, from which there, was a great loss of blood. An important sale of valuable Victorian,- Tasmania!!, and other furs, made up' into rugs and mats of all sorts, ladies' capes, muffs; and bags, is to held next Saturday at the Grange Hall. They are from the first manufacturer of the day, Mr S. R. Clark, Brunswick, Victoria, and will be on view on Thursday and Friday afternoons and even ings. Catalogues will be issued on Thursday. We received a telegram on Saturday, too late for publication in the Guardian, from Mr E. 6. Wright, M.H.R., stating that the Government had considered the representa tions made through him as to the want of accommodation at the Post Office, ami had given instructions to prepare plans and estimates for additions to the building. It' is hoped the amount will' be put on the present year's estimates. In any case we may be sure Mr Wright will not lose sight of the matter. ' , . , .

Some .hours afterwards a friend, entering the woman's room, found her lying unconscious on her bed. The leeches, satiated, .had rolled off her body one by one. The woman was re moved to the hospital in a critical condi tion. A meeting of the Managing Committee of the Ashbtirtoh Branch of the New Zealand Farmers' and County Settlers' League was held at the Arcade Chambers on Saturday afternoon, Mr D. Williamson, in. the, chair. A discussion took place' ai to the misconcep tion which appears to prevail in the minds of some persons with regard to the scope and object of the League, and in order to dispel 'erroneous ideas upon the subject, if possible, it was resolved to formally add the following article to the programme: — "That this .functions of this League shall not be restricted to political questions alone; but shall embrace all subjects, of whatsoever nature, affecting the interests of the farmisr community." Further arrangements were made for the public meeting tq.ba hejd at VVakanui on Friday evening; and it was resotyed to/Mid a foeeting at "WiUowby « n Friday week.

It was as follows:—•" Listen to fiy words, my friends, the chiefs, and all 4sembled; pay great attention to my words, it I will'not hold back anything I have to s>y.
