Ashburton Guardian Magna est Veritas et Prævalebit. THURSDAY. JUNE 29, 1893. THE NATIVE MINISTER.

.*, The Hon. Mr Cadman's resignation of his portfolio, as a consequence of the Cadman-Rees trial, was perhaps the best course the hon. gentlemen could follow in the circumstances. That he had been dealing in native lands was not denied, and the judge in addressing the jury remarked that whether Mr Gad man had so dealt was not one of the thing* they had to determine, but whether he had made use of his official position to aid the transactions of his firm in native lands. This the jury ound it had not been proved he bad done. In fact, on the whole of the issues submitted to the jury, findings favorable to Mr Cad man were returned. But there came after that the question of damages, and these the jury assessed at only £1, so that their verdict should not carry costs. That such was their object there could be no doubt, as they were careful in the course of tneir seven hours' deliberations to ascertain froaa the judge himself what was the lowest sum given as damages that would carry costs. Mis repiy was that 40s would do so before him, and the jury fixed the damages at just half that sum. It is this small measure of damages which has had the effect of leaving in the minds of many people an impression that the Minister has not come out of the case with alto gether clean hands, and a feeling on the j part of the hon, gentleman that such an impression abroad in regard to him is not calculated to add to the dignity of the position he holds nor strengthen public confidence in him, has impelled him to place his resignation in the hands of the Premier. Mr Cadman affirms—and Sir Robert Stout, his counsel in the case, very strongly bears him out—that the reports of the cisc that were sent to the papers out side of Napier were misleading, and did not give anything like the true facts of the case as they came out in court, so that the people of the colony have only a garbled version and an imperfect idea of the whole matter be fore them. Mr Oadman will therefore take an early opportunity of laying the whole case before his constituents, and meanwhile vacates his ministerial post, so that the Government of which he is a member should be wholly above suspicion. If Mr Oadman feels that j the whole truth has not gone forth to the public, but only a garbled state ment, under which he suffers, Mr Rees on the other hand is equally strong in his feeling that his side of the story has not been fully told to the public by means of evidence at the trial, and he asks-that Government should help him by the appointment of a commission to put the full evidence before the world—evidence which, on technical grounds, he was not allowed to adduce, but which, he'says, would cause considerable astonishment. Under the whole circumstances the Native Minister did wisely to resign, and it will be a further evidence of wisdom on his part, if, before again accepting the Native portfolio, he gets rid of business connection with any firm dealing in the buying or selling of native lands.

THE DAIRY INDUSTRY.

Since our last article on the above subject was written we have come across some recent notes by the agri cultural reporter of the "Australasian," referring to a butter factory at Hamilton in Victoria, a town a long way from Melbourne, or any port of shipment, and not nearly so favorably situated for carrying on the industry as Ashburton is. The factory, one of the most recently established in Vic toria, was started about six months ago, and all the milk has been paid for by results, being tested by a Babcock tester. The system has so far been very successful, for not only does the fairness of xt commend itself to the settlers, but the comparisons of the various qualities of milk seem to have been regarded with much interest by farmers, and a healthy spirit of rivalry has been created which cannot but lead to good results. For instance, it was found that the old idea about the scientific grain feeding of cows result ing in their milk being richer than that of cows fed in the ordinary way was a delusion. Cows fed-experi mentally, on wheat straw on lyV gave less milk certainly, but it was of a richer quality by about 1| per cent than what they gave when stall on fed the regulation grain feed. The butter manufactured at the Uainilton factory j was sent Home in one shipment, and the returns have just come to hand, showing that it brought 94s per cwt in the London market, at a time when I no other colonial bufct/er could com mand more than 82s 6d per em%, and some was not saleable at all. Wej cannot urge too strongly upon the] farmers of this county the importance 1 of putting this important industry j upon a more satisfactory footing than it now occupies, and we feel assured that the people of the Ellesmere district are taking steps in the right direction in establishing creameries in convenient centres in their district. If they avoid the rock upon whbh most enterprises undertaken by the agricultural part of the community are eventually wrecked —bad management the undertaking they have just com menced can hardly fail to succeed. This difficulty of frequent mismanage' ment has not always arisen from want of knowledge, but in some cases that have corue under public notice has been due to the mistaken policy of entrusting important functions to people personally interested in the business who may offer their services "gratuitously." This vicious, but apparently seductive, system is almost always discovered to be the roost costly

in the end, and it will be found that a creamery or dairy factory carried on under the immediate supervision of a specialist fairly paid for his work should prove a successful venture in almost any part of New Zealand.

LOCAL AND GENERAL.

The New South Wales Premier is willing,! to co-operate with Mr Barton of New South , Wales in forming a Federation league. Mrßeetham, R.M., Chrisfcchurcb, yes er day fined Bernard Simpson, tobacconist, 10s and costs for keeping his shop open and selling cigarettes on Sunday, \ According to the " Bruce Herald " a large and powerful dredge ia to be placed on the Tokomairiro river at the woolshed, where the wash is from 20 feet to 30 feet deep, with gold all through it. I At the Christchurch Supreme Court yes \ terday, the motion to quash the decision of the Licensing Committee for Addington granting a license for the Southern Cross Hotel came on. As the parties most interested had not been served with notice the hearing was adjourned till Monday next. By a fire which occurred on Wednesday at the rooms of the Christchurch Agricultural and Pastoral Association the valuable por traits in oil of several of the past presidents of the society were dertroyed, as were much of the literature, botanical and other specimens stored in the rooms. The fire was got under before the building was seriously injured. Ife turns out that the man Richard Brown who committed suicide in NewtoWn Park, Wellington, on Monday, had been employed at £20 per month in the Crown Lands Office as a surveyor. His position ia alleged to be caused through intemperauce. He got lower and lower in the scale until he was without a penny, and he could not face poverty. He was a man of fine appearance and well connected at Home. During the sitting of the Wellington R.M. Court on Tuesday the solicitor for the de fendant in a case did not turn up, and Mr Wilford suggested an adjournment for his legal; friend. Mr Martin, R.M., promptly ordered Mr Wilford to proceed with his case. He was not going to hun)jbug the Court procedure to please solicitors. There have of late been many similar instances of legal absence and this is the fiist decision putting a stop to it. Mr Martin's determination is generally upheld. Mr E. M. Smith, M.H.R., has placed the following question on. the Order Paper of the House:—lf the Minister for Justice has in structed the police authorities to thoroughly investigate the Case of the notorious Worth* ington, of the so-calJed Temple of Truth,; Christchurch, if not will he do so without delay, and if he finds on investigation that Worthingfcon has been guilty of gross im morality in the ceremony of the Inner Temple, will he order his arrest so that he may be brought to justice, and, if the offence is proved, be punished with the utmost rigour of the law; and will he thereupon order the said Temple to be destroyed, that i*; may no longer defile the colony of New Zealand to its hurt and dishonor. Sister Magdala received a very warm reception at Petone Wellington, on Monday evening. A crowd assembled outside the hall she was to speak in, and made such a din, throwing fitones on the roof, etc., that for some time it was impossible for her to proceed. Finally order was restored by a police constabe, sufficiently to allow her to deliver her address. Several showers of gravel were throw n from outside through the window on to the stage, and Sister Magdala was struck with pebbles but not hurt. Only some twenty-five persons paid for admission, at 6d per head, which would of course mean serious loss. Tn the course of her address she said she was engaged to lecture once or twice a week for seven weeks at Christchurch and after that would return and take up work in Wellington. Mr J. W. Hardley is introducing Fischer's patent water heaters, a remarkably efficient apparatus for rapidly heating water for bath or other 'purposes. Mr Hardley has fixed up a sample heater in his shop, and yester day he gave an exhibition of its powers to several gentlemen. The little stove was half filled with savings and kindling wood, and from the time of putting a match to the fuel to the flow into the bath of water warm snough for any bather's purpose, just three minutes elapsed. In five minutes the water was boiling. The apparatus can. be used in the bath-room, kitchen, washhouse, or wherever convenient, and in connection with any water supply irom tank or windmill. It is; self-feeding from a tank, and the water is: heated while the bath is being filled, and with the minimum of attention it will supply hot water all day. There is no risk of fire, as every inch of the heating surface is " jacketed " and so protected by water. The apparatus is*of Melbourne manufacture and remarkably cheap, The recent announcement of the death in the Benevoleut Institution of one Edward Peters was scarcely suggestive of the death ' of one of the first discoverers of gold in ! Otago. Mr C. R. Mitchell writes to the " Clutha Free Press ' and states that the individual in question was none other than " Black Peter." He came to the colony some forty years ago in the ship Maori. Mr Vincent Pyke, in his " History of Early Gold Discoveries in Otago," states that Peters found gold in }§58 in the Tuapeka stream, and it was to his frankness that Gabriel Reade's discovery was due. Mr Pyke secured for Peter* some years ago a grant of £50 from the Government, and, with some local subscriptions, it was found possible to make an allowance of 10s a week, As Mr J. H. Jenkinson, of Port Molyneux, allowed the .old fellow tp occupy a house and small piece of ground, he was able to sup port himself till his health failed, when he was removed to the Bevevolenb Institution. Peters was a native of India. -*•" Otago j Daily Times." Before Mr Beetham, R.M., at Christ church yesterday, Patrick McSweeney, of the ¥iotorian Hotel, Colombo Street, was fined £§ and costs fop failing to admit the police into his licensed hc»u«e ,«jn Sunday morning, June 18. The evidence of Sergeant Wilson and Constable Koster was to the effect that on the morning in question, about one o'clock, the police heard a number of people talking in the front bar* Afjber knocking at fch* door with their batons for some time, McSweeney pame, but told them to wait until he got his key. Ther.d was some delay in getting the key, and during that time several men tried to get out by the parlour window. The police stopped them, and on getting in found sixteen men in the bar. The landlord claimed them all as boarders, but the police knew four of them a» residents, with wives and families in the city. The defence was that there ' had been no delay, except in going to find the key. Two men gave evidence thit they were boarders, that there waa no delay, and that only eight persons were inside when the police came. The Magistrate had no Joubt that the law had been ignored, and fined defendant as above, and endorsed bis [license* j

ADDINGTON STOCK MARKET.

The weather was good for yesterday's marked, and the attendance above the averaga. About 5000 sheeo were yarded* Stork Sheep.—The entry of store sheep was limited to about 500, consisting mostly of crossbred breeding ewee, with I a few lines of last year's lambs. The sale was rather dull, several lines being passed to. Fat Shbbp.—About 300 occupied the fat pens, anionpsb which were a few good lines of freezers. But as buyers for export trade were not operating freely the majority of these were taken for the retail trade, al up to 19d 3d. The rest of the entry consisted of medium erossbreds and merinos, which sold up to late rates. Fat Cattle. —About 150 fat cattle came forward, and beyond three or four show beasts the entry consisted mostly of undersized heifers and steers. The sale was brisk, and best beef brought betwoen 23s and 24s per 1001 ba. , Store Cauls.—A small entry, consist ing mostly of cows and yearlings, met with a better market than has been the case of late. Pi6B.—There was a falling off in the entry of pigs, only about 200 coming forward, mostly prime bacon pig?, which met a firm market, and sold up to 58s 6d, while porkers and stores were not in request.

LIVE STOCK MARKET.

Mr David Thomas reports upon the live stock market in the Aahburton county for the week ending June 27, as follows:—On Tuesday, at the Tinwald yards, everything was in favor of the stock, the weather fine and the attendance good. For store sheep there were only a few buyers in the market. The demand seems to be dropping off, owing probably to the scarcity of feed in the district. Foi fat sheep the demand < seems less keen, on account of the inactivity of the freezing works. The total yarding for the day comprised 4856 she and 12 head of cattle. ' My entry consisted of 2241 sheep and 11 head of cattle, all of which I sold at the following prices: —40 merino wethers, 6s 3d; 237 crossbred lambs, 10a 9d; 190 two tooth crossbred wethers, 13s 9d; 100 merino ewes, in lamb, 6s 8d ; 420 merino ewes, in lamb, 6s 6d; 196 two-tooth crossbred wethers, 13s 3d; 200 crosbbred ewes, in lamb, 15s 6d ; 245 crossbred ewes, in lamb, 15s 3d ;58 crossbred lambs, 9s; 34 crossbred lambs, lls 6d ; and 11 fat crossbreds, 18s 3d. In cattle, I sold 1 fat staer, £4 9s; 2 fat heifers, £5 2a 6d; 1 fat cow, £5 10a; 2 springers, £4; 1 springer, £6 12s 6d; 1 springer, £4; and 2 yearlings, £2 15s. Skins, Fat, Hides, and Tallow.—On Friday I held my usual fortnightly sale of the above, when about 600 skins, 6 bales of wool, 12 bags of fat, and a quantity of hides came forward. This sale was ft really good one, and prices realized were fully equal to Christchureh valuea. The following are my quotations:— Beat crossbreds, from 3s to 4a; inferior sorts, Is 6d to 2a 9d ; best merinos, 2s 9d to 33 6d ; inferior, 9d to 2s. The wool being a mixed lot only averaged from 3d to s£d. I sold fat privately from £d per lb up to l|d. My next sale will take place on Friday, July 7. Horse Market.—On Saturday I held the usual weekly horse sale at my bazaar, when about 20 horses came forward. The weather was very inclement, and one could hardly expect the entry to be large. The attend ance was principally of buyers, and about lOhorsea changed hands under the hammer. The demand for first-class draughts is slightly better, but old horses are still a drug in the market. During the week I have sold a quantity of young stock for shipment to the North Island, also Mr E. Church's three-year-old draught stallion at a satisfactory price, for the same place.

Mr John G. Reatell, in conjunction with the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company, Limited, reports for the week ending June 28 ••—At the Tinwald yards on Tuesday there was an average entry of stock sent forward, including several lines of good sheep of all classes, and we are pleased to note that buyers gave crossbred ewes in lamb, and crossbred lambs more attention, nearly every line being cleared at advanced rates. 4856 sheep were yarded, and Bold at the following prices:— Merino wethers, 7s 9d ; crossbred lambs, 9s 3d, 10s 9d, 11s 6d, and 12s 6d; crossbred ewes, in lamb, l?s to J4s Id and 15s 6d ; merino ewes, 0s ; crossbred two-tooths, 13s 3d, 13s 9d, 14s 7d, 15s 6d, 18s 6d. Our sales were as follows :—ll merino wethers, 9s 9dj 42 three-quarterbred lambs, 9s 9d; 205 cross bred lambs, 12s 6d; 250 crosabred two tooths, 14s 7d ; 288 crossbred ewes, in lamb, 143 Id- During the week we have sold privately 50 head store cattle, £5 10a per head.

Skin Sale.—On Friday last we held our usual fortnightly skin sale. There was & good attendance of buyers, and prices re alized were as follows .'—Butchers' merinos, 2s j}d to Si 3d; butcher*' crossbreds, 3s to 3s 5d f, farmer?' merinos, is $d to 2s 3d; farmers'crossbred^, Is 9d to 2s 6d.

The Derelict Vessel.

TWO BODIES FOUK\

Westpobt, June 28. Fine weather and smooth sea prevail ing this morning, the steamer Nile brought the derelict cutter Ligz'e into the river. She was placed alongside the wharf under the big crane. A line was passed beneath her, and she was turned over in a few minutes. Notwithstanding the knocking about she received in the gales last week, the deck was strewn with sleepers. The mast was broken off flush with this deck: the boom was caught in the Wreckage and was fast j the bowsprit was broken off, and the cable hung over the bow. The anchor appeared tohave gene overboard, and carried the bulwarks ffith it. From the appearance of the boom, it is probable that the gutter turned over after the mast went by the board. The remains of the ship's boat were I shed to the hatch. Some ot the sleepers were removed, and men set to work baling her oiit r When the water in the cabin was reduced two bodies were found there.

Parliamentary Notes.

(FROM OUK OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Wellington, Jane 28. THE TOTALISATOB. It has been represented to Government that nominations have been received and rich prizes allotted for clastic events on the understanding that the revenua de rived from the totalisstof would be applied to providing stakes. Petitions in favor of the aboliti >n of the / totalisator, conUitriug a number of Hawkejs Bay signatures, were presented at the House to-day. *HB SITUATION. Mr Seddon, at the Government caucus, explained the position of "Government, comparing the Minintry to a ship's crew who, having lost th^ir captain, had placed themselves under the first officer, and having got safely to port now awaited the decision of the directors. At some length he mentioned the measures which Govern ment had prepared, and hcped to pass into law this session. The Electoral Bill, embracing woman suffrage, and provision for ensuring the secrecy cf the ballot at polling place* where less than fifty votes were recorded, would follow. A Native Land' Bill of an important character, ; designed to open up Native lands wher e^er such are required for settlement, i would also be submitted. I NATIVE LANS. For the Horowenua block, a big Native block between Wellington and Palmerston JN'orth, the Native owners are asking £4 per acre, but the Minister for Lands declines to eiiect a purchase, as be con siders the prioe excessive, GLOVE FIGHTS. The Premier considers the present law quite sufficient for the suppression of gleve fights. WOMEN'S 9CFFE4OB. The Hon. Mr Rigg, one of the new labor members in the Council is strongly opposed to women's franchise, until the constituencies have been consulted. NATIVE FAUNA AND FLORA. Government propose to go on with the requisition of Little Barrier and Resolu tion Islands, for the preservation of native fauna and flora. MR CADMAN. Mr Oadman's constituents are under stood to be anxious to express unabated confidence in him, and this will be done by the agency of public meetings throughout his electorate. Having thus been sub jected to the 'vhite-washing process, the ex-Native Minister will then rejoin the Cabinet. Meanwhile his portfolios will be entrusted to the Hon. W. P. Reeves aud Mr J. Carroll. ELL CASI. The report on the famous Ell case was laid on the table of the House today. It recommends special legislation to enable. Mr Ell to deal with his own bankruptcy matters, and that he be paid £200 in full settlement of all demands. DIBECT VETO BILL. Sir Robert Stout will introduce the Direct Veto Bill to-morrow. THB ADDRES3-IN-KBPLY. The Address-in-Reply debate col'apsed in the House tonight, and Ministers having no other business ready, the House rose early at ten o'clock. The speakers in the afternoon were Messrs McLean and Allan, but the addresses were not particularly interesting. In the evening Mr Fisher made a f croc onslaught on Min isterial utterances, and his remarks re ceived frequent applause. He was followed by Sydeubam Taylor with bis usual rambling talk, and there being but a bare quorum present the debate for the Adaress-in-Reply being passed, con cluded. The Railway Commissioner! estimated the revenue for the coming year at £1,117 000 and expenses it £732.000.

FIRE BRIGADE.

ANNUAL PROCESSIONaNDSOOIAL;

The annual torchlight display of of the Aehburton Volunteer Fire Brigade was held last evening, and was as success* ful in every way as its predecessors. The Brigade mustered at the Fire Brigade station at seven o'clock, and lost very little time in getting the procession under way. The Band led, followed immediately by the steamer, drawn by the Council's horses, and driven by Fireman Spioer. Then came the curricle, drawn by Lieu* tenant Miles' horse ; the manual and the " Darktown,"drawnby Fireman Hefford'a horses, in that order. The procession took tneold route by William street to Moore street, and thence to East street, along East street to Alcorn's corner. gaining the Oddfellows' Hall by Wills street. Throughout the journey several fine displays of firework* were made, and a beautiful moonlight night did not apparently lessen the brilliant effect, and the general illumination with colored fire was got off very successfully. Captain Fooks was in charge of the prooession, and Engineer Dolman directed the display of fireworks. The Darktown Brigade were again to the fore, and created much amusement by their antios, -•** and it is to be regretted that the youths of the town should have made, a point of pelting these energetic with anything they could hy hands on, as the dangerous practice might result more seriously than intended. The procession over, the annual social of the Brigade began. The Band, under Bandmaster Hoskin, played selections at the entrance to the hall, which was crowded^ awt dancing was kept up till an early hour. Songs were sung at inteivals by members of the Brigade and many friends and the programme throughout was highly enjoy, able.

How to Make a Haggis.

Mr David Christie, late landlord of The Shades, Christchurch, is the oompiler of the following recipe for making a Sootch haggis. Mr Christie, who is a Scotchman of the Scotch, is well known as a high class confectioner and pastrycook. The recipe was supplied to the inquirer in very broad Scotch, but to make it intelligible it is here put in English :— Get a sheep's or a pig'a stomach, and cleanse it thoroughly. G«t also the pluok or heart of a sheep or pig. Boil the pluck, allowing the " thrapple" to project over the pot in the boiling. The "thrapple" acts as an escape tube for inferior juices. Put the boiled pluck through the sausage machine, throwing away the *• thrapple.l' A liver may also be cooked with the pluck, and a little of the lights. The broth in which the whole was boiled is used afterwards to mix the mees. Liver, lights, and heart all go through the machine with; roughly, one pound or more kidney suet (bullock's). Of oatmeal, take three " goupens " (both hands used together as a scoop, and filled three times). Mix the whole, and Reason to taste-aplenty of pepper and salt, ?* jri? a wee thing o' allspice, but not mucK." When mixing the mess put the minced meat, etc, into a large mixing dish. ' A washhand basin will dp. Add the oa> meal, suet, and seasoning. Mix with the broth until tho whole is of the consistency of thin porridge—thick enough to lift in handfiils. Fill the pauuch about half, sew up the long en£ and trim off any pieces. The paunch as a bag must not be cut nor punoturad. Put the whole in a pot, after the water has come to the boil. Watch it, and in a few seconds the haggis will float on the top. When it has done so, prick it frequently with a darning needle, otherwise it will burst. Be par ticular about this. Never let it gp off the the boil, nor let it boil too fast". If i| goes off the boil ifc becomes sodden; if it boils too fast it will burst—just always at a quiet simmer. Three hoars of this will *H« » toggts J)t lor gobbfe 3ww,
