Ashburton Guardian MAGNA EST VERITAS ET PRÆVALEBIT. SATURDAY, JULY 15, 1893. THE CADAN- REES AFFAIR.

The challenge issued by Mr Cadman to Mr Rees to together resign their seats in Parliament and contest the Auckland seat was truly a sorry spectacle lifter all. One can understand how. at the first blush, the challenge and its prompt acceptance should —bf the apparent pluck and consciousness of moral rectitude that both parties made a show "ot—have been received with applause by both sides of the House, but it was on second thoughts seen by members that the whole aflfiir was only a bit of childish braggadocio. And looking at it calmly it seems to us that it was comparatively an easy challenge for Mr Cadman to make, and, considering tha circumstances under which it was issued,—the mine, so to speak, sprung under the feet of Mr Bees, who had no warning at all (according to his own state ment) of what was coming, and the sudden | and unexpected circumetiroes in which he found himself —Mr Reas had no choice, j > in the little time given liioi to decide, but to accept the challenge. Hid the challenge been made, say through the press insre-id of on the floor of the House, the chances are that Mr Rees would not have accepted it, but asked Me Caduian to submit the whole matter between them to a Com- j mittee of the House. And this is really - where it Bhpuli havo been inquired into and subsequently adjudicated upon by the Legislature. There is a feature of the case too which raises a suspicion of disiingenuousness on the part of Mr Cadman. Auckland is at the moment a great stronghold of the present Government, and the constitueacy may be looked upon almost as a "pocket borough" for the Ministry. Mr Cad man's chance of return for Auckland may therefore be taken as all Lombard street to a China orange against Mr Rees. The election of either to the seat would leave the other out of Parliament, and an inquiry by the House would be avoided. It would have been dr better for boih to have remained in the House and allowed the House to make its enquiiy and settle the differences between the two senators in the usual way, for the House, tho representatives of the peopTe, is the real and only proper tribunal to deal with the nutters at issue in the quarrel. The conduct of the two Parliamentary gladia tors gave Mr Scobie Mackenzie opportu nity for a most stinging quip that contained a deal of truth. He quoted the release of Barabbas, as the choice of fche Hebrew rabble- a choice that sent ihe Victim to the Cross—as an instance of the failure of justice when popular clamor was made the Court of .Appeal instead of constituted authority, and satirically argued that popular claimr in Auckland would blindly choose the man of the hour. As between Messrs Cadman and Bees doubtless the Auckland people would choose the ex-Minister, but Auck land has no right to be saddled with the duty of acting as judge in the squabble of thes3 two gentlemen. Mr Cadman, a Minister of the Crown, was trafficking by hia firm io Native lands. He denied that he had used his Ministerial position to aid that traffic, and the Supreme Court sustained that denial, but tho jury who heard his case gave him only 20s costs. Many peopls took this as a sort of " not guilty, but don'fc do it again verdict," and Mr >Uees no doubt felt that the victory in the libel case was as much his as it was Mr Cadnwn's. The Quixotic challenge of the latter to resign and con test Auckland cannot fail to leave an impression on many minds throughout the colony that Mr Cadman too had a strong feeling thafc Mr Rees shared honors with him. As far as can ba gathered from information received from Auckland, Ihere is every likelihood that the two gentlemen will be allowed to fight for the seat, without the interven tion of a third party, who would probably win if he stood. Perhaps a retirement till thfl general election would be benefi cial to bo.th of frfee irate legislators, and allow their heated tempers time to cool.

A COMMENDABLE ENTERPRISE.

It af£ouds V 8 much pleasure to be able to congratulate the Canterbury Central Dairy Company upon the suc cess of their preliminary operations, in the face of difficulties which might well have daunted men possessing an ordinary share of pluck and persever ance. The secret probably lies in the fact tl'ai several large landowners are on the directorate of the new Company, who are doubtless aware that owners of landed property must share in the prosperity to be expected from the establishment of the dairy industry upon a satisfactory basis. The initial difficulties being now sur mounted, we may consider the Company to be fairly afloat. It must be admitted thafc the conditions are rather unfavorable to begia with; since operations will be commenced in the winter months when milk is scarcer than at any other time of the year. In addition to this, farmers with the most primitive" appliances C*n make butter that will sell at this season in the local markets. But the spring will coon be here, and then (ha factory will be in full swing. We are informed that the j quantity of butter to be turned out by the j Central Factory will bo over one ton per week, and as a paragraph recently went the rounds of the press stating that the largest factory in the world was in Mel bourne and produced eight tons a week, the output of the Canterbury factory must be considered highly aatibfactory. It is fortunate for the Company that the direc tors were able to secure the services as manager of such a capable butter maker as Mr Andersen, who is a Danish expert. The quality 6i the butter made at the Central has already attracted the attention of dealers and the general public, with the result that all that is made is taken from the factory every morning at a higher price than farmers can obtain for the very best brands of dairy made. We believe that one shilling a pound net is the price receivedjafcjthe, factory, ;nd tUs Jnfcho

facj of ttte keen competition of Taranak* butler, which is being sold at 8d in the hristehurch shops. North Island farmer* —or mire correctly, dairymen— will al ways be able to undersell those in Can terbury in the winter months for reasonß that are sufficifintly obvious. Their land is cheaper, their grass is better, and thu is not ihe season for Balling, Ihe time of the year when the advantages of the fnctory system will be most apparent will he in the heat of summer, whea the local market will be secured to ourselves and all the surplus over our own requirements will be shipped under the best conditions and in such quantities as will ensuro the maximum price at the minimum of cost. Those who understand the butter trade in London say that largo buyers will give a higher price for parcels of 20 or 30 tons a week of uniformly good butter than small lota, however good. The London quota tions for factory and dairy made butter are in each marked contrast that—if noth ing else could be urged to show the superiority of the former as an article of commerce—wouldsufficiently demonstrate the fact. Thus in January last the Lon don prices were as follows ; —Factory butter, 112s to 118 a ; dairy made, 98s to 102s ; and prime Danish reached as high as 130 a per cwfc. It has been asserted lhat many dealers at H >me are not above selling Australian mid New Zealand butter as "Prime Danish " But if so, it only goes to emphasise the importance of ensuring the exportation from these colonies of nothing but butter of uniform, as well as of good quality. The reason why New Zealand and Australian butters have never been able to hold their own against the Danish article is the uneven quality that has always charactrrised tha butter exported from these colonies. The Bill which Lord Onslow is trying to get through the Imperial Parliament to ensure the proper marking of colonial produce is a step in the right direction. Id is a matter which must not be overlooked in con nection with the dairy industry, thatprices are not likely to fall below a paying point now that the separator can be so effectually utilised to economise labor. Moreover, it is in the power of large companies to keep the price of locally consumed butter above the level of export prices. We referred in a former article to the system, now so much in vogue in Australia, of paying for the milk supplied to the factories by results —that is to say, according to the amount of butter fat contained in it, as ascertained by a Babcock tester, and we understand this system is being carried out at the Canterbury Central factory. On every ground, therefore, we have reason to congratulate the Company upon having made a start. We trust its successful establishment will mark an epoch in the history of the agricultural and pastoral industries of this country. There can be no doubb that the recent development of the dairying industry ha 3 already tended greatly to enhance the value of dairy stock. Ihe market reports for the paafc two years indicate a rise of from 40 to 50 per cent on all classes of cows fib for the dairy. Dealers are not now able to glut the market with cow beef, and calves arc not knocked on the head wholesale as they used to be a few years as*o, when they did nob pay for feed ing. We hope that the new Company will have a, successful career, and that it will inaugurate a new end better state of things for the landowners and the farmers of this colony, and raise the value of New Zealand produce in the markets of the world.

LOCAL AND GENERAL.

The Rev George B. Inglig, who occupied the Presbyterian pulpits of Ashburton and Wak-nui last Sunday, will conduct the services in these churches again to-morrow. At the City Court Dunedin, Joseph Weavers, licensee of the Panama hotel, was fined £3 and costs for refusing to admit the police. Mr John Wilson, painter, of Ashburton, has secured the contract for painting the Ashburtoa Courthouse, apd will commence this much needed work on Monday morning next. The Salvation Army services for to-morrow are advertised. Ensign Wilson speaks in the evening on "House-breaking, or the unorthodox way," and gives a banjo solo " The dying child," The London Local (Government Board has cancelled all summer leave of absence to its medical, men, and ordered an incessant watch at all British ports against the entrance of cholera, until the end of September. The fifth of the series of country people's popular concerts took place in the INewlands Schoolroom on Friday evening. The Head distress, Miss Buck, kindly lent the use of the piano, aad provided an excellent supper for the performers, Tfye weather being fine some 100 country people turned out includ ing visitors from Seafield, Elgin, Wakanui, and Dromore. The concert was a grand success, every item being cedemanded. The following were the singers :—Misses Barrett, Riakman (2), Dalfcon, Ranger, Protheroe, and Benni&ou, and Messrs F. Rickman, Broad, Protheroe, Margetts, Bennison, Cpaighead, I Burns, and Begg, Mrs Farley and Miss Rickman playing the accompaniment*. Reci tations were gk en by Rev Mr Farley and Mr Hardley, and two ishpnises by the school children. Atfer a water drinking contest between the school boys, which was very amusing, the party left for home at 11 p.m. arriving at 11.30 p.m, Somg twenty cycling men journeyed to iNewlands. An important decision "under the Bank ruptcy laws was given in Wellington on Thursday by Mr Justice Richmond. Mr I Hall moved in the Bankruptcy Court, on \ behalf of Wilson, Williams, MacCullough, and 0o. t of Auckland, draper*, for leave to proceed to egiovc® ail p.rder for imprison ment, under a judgment summons, notwith standing that the debtor had filed hk schedule after the order had been made. Mr Tripp opposed the motion, but was not called upon to argue, his Honor stating that h& would take time to consider whether further argument was necessary. Mr Tripp, how ever, informed his Honor that he was pre pared to contend that since the passing of the B*nkruptoy Act, 1892, by virtue of Section 58, the filing of a petition was an absolute bar to proceedings to enforce an order for imprisonment for debt. Bis Honor has now decided that under Segtion 82 of the Act of last year he has no power to i«r,prison a debtor. The motion was, there fore, dismissed without costs.

The Canterbury Liberal Association has J telegraphe I to Government, protesting . against the clause in the Cheviot Estate Bill, providing for a portion of the estate being sold for cash. A public meeting on the subject will shortly be held. At a meeting of over 100 men out of work, held in Chrisbchurch yesterday a resolution was carried "That this meeting urges on the Government the absolute neces sity of immediate relief being found for the families of men at present out of work." As no reply had been received from Wellington to the telegram sent the day before, the meeting adjourned. In Englaud the one hnndred day drought wrought havoc with all the crops except wheat, which is not now largely grown. The hay crop was absolutely ruined, and the vegetables and fruit crops are the worst grown in many years. Over a wide area, the potatoes and peas will be a total loss. The crops in Ireland are said to be more favour able than in England. An announcement iv another column, made by the agent of the New Zealand T,oan and Mercantile Agency Company, Limited, will be of interest to the Company's clients in Ashburton county. It is to the effect that the Company's commission agency and pro duce business will be for the present con ducted by the New Zealand L«nd Associa tion, who will render prompt a3count sales with cash settlements. The Cardiff correspondent of the '' Bristo Mirror" writes: -"Each Sunday there is now to be witnessed in this town an extra ordinary spectacle. Large numbers of men congregate in an open space near a populous suburb and subscribe mouey for the purpose of buying beer, which is obtained in casks from the nearest wholesale stores. This is then shared and drunk openly, a recent decision by the Stipendiary Magistrate having legalised their action, on the ground that they constituted a crude but genuine club. Recently there were aome 150 men engaged in this Sunday drinking. On the Sunday following the number had risen to 500, with come 2000 spectators, and next Sunday a considerable development of the movement was expected. This is surely an unforeseen and carious outcome of the Sun day Closing Act"

COMMERCIAL.

London, July 13. At the wool sales merino ia slightly dearer. * The American visible eupp'y of wheat is 73 million bushels. A Victorian cargo of wheat, March shipment, has been sold at 29s 3d,

CRICKET.

AUSTRALIANS v SUSSEX.

London, July 13. The attendance at Brighton where the Australians are playing, Sussex, was small. The weather cleared up, and it was fine in the afternoon, but the wicket was very heavy, and all in favor of the bowlers. Sussex went in first and made 107. The principal scoras were Bean 20, Newham 26, and Wilson (not out) 37. The Australians have lost six wickets for 108. The two South Australians gave a good display, I. yons scoring 47 and G. Qiffen 31. The others quite failed. London, July 14. The Australians' first innings closed for 154. Both Graham and Turner hit freely for their runs,, Sussex niade a feeble stand against the bowline of Turner and Trot't, which was almost unplayable.

FOOTBALL

THE SEW ZEALAND TEAM.

Wellington, July 14. The Secretary of ihe New Zealand Rugby Union received a cable message to-day from the manager of the team in Australia asking him to send across four forwards to strengthen that division of the team in their third match against New South "Wales, which has been definitely arranged to take place in Sydney on Saturday, 29ch inst. The request will be complied with, and four men are to leave by the Wakatipu for Sydney direct on Wednesday. Arrangements have been completed for a match between New Zealand and a Western district team to be played at Bathurst on Wednesday 26th inst. Various unions are now being consulted in order to ascertain what men are available. McLean and Oliphert, two Wellington players, will be amongst^the recruits for the New Zealand team.

Mrs Dr Potts' Farewell

A large audience assembled last evening at the Oddfellows' Rail to hear Mrs Pr Potts' fare wall lecture on " Hearts and Homes," and those who heard it are not likely soon to forget it. In her previous lectures to women alone the clever American dealt with physiological topics, from which of necessity a large section of the community were excluded. Last night she gave a lecture ro a general and representative audience. The lecture mingled racy humor, pathos, and genuine philosophy, and the audience last night was highly appreciative. The physio logical side of life was touched jjpon lightly bnfc effectively. The moral duties and ties which the sexes should ever respect were spoken of with great force and clearness, and young people were enjoined to know themselves and their circumstances, as well as their proposed partners, before entering upon an engage ment to marry. Her philippic against corsets, and her reference to female fran ca) led forth rounds of applause. While chise and suppres3?on of the liquor traffic Mrs J*ottg i» practical enough to do her best tp make money out of her profession, she is engaged in a genuine mission, and her remarks mu«t have awakened a trnin of profitable thought in many a '..iad which had scarcely before reverted, to r.< se subjects.

CABLE SUMMARY

The great car works in Indianopolis have failed and 900 men have been thrown out of work. Two hundred persons, charged with being abettors of brigand*, are being tried in Viterbo, a city of Central Itajy. A procession, comprising 10,000 Orange man, marched through the streets in Halifax and Quubec as a protest against Home Pule. Owing to the dry spring and gummer, the Austrian Government have prohibited the export of fodder. Ihe railway revenue for the year shows a decrease of £190,000, but the expenditure has been reduced by £175,000 compared with the preceding year. At the instance of Ihe War Office, the authorities at Kew Gardens will experiment upon the suitability of Australian woods for gun stocks. The Czarewitch, on his way back from Ihe Duke of York's wedding, paid a visit to the Emperor of Germany, who received him with great honor. Fire damp caused an explosion in a colliery near Baltimore, Maryland, and cut off the egress of ninety miners, who are at present entombed. Mr Stewart, the Official Liquidator, statei that owing to depreciation in values, the reserve fund of Goldsbrough, Morfc and Co. must be considered to have been entirely absorbed. * Governor White, addressing the silver convention in Denver City, Colorado, threatened that there would be a revolution if the European silver policy were imposed on the Western States. - The French Workers' Congress decline to take part in the national fete commemorat ing the fall of the Bastille, in coosequence of the hostility of the-Governmest. The .French press continue their attacks on the British Ambassador, and it is ex pected that the President will order pro ceedings against some of the offenders. A bill has passed the Victorian Legislative Assembly reducing the salary of future Governors to £7000, and members ef Parlia ment honorariums to £270. Fresh religious riots have broken out among the natives in Ballia, and more troops have been sent there to assist in preserving order. A convention sitting in Colorado de nounced the repeal of Sherman's Silver Purchase Act as a part of a conspiracy in which the Indian Government joined. It is reported that the outbreak of cholera at Alexandria is incorrect. The forty deaths reported as haying-occurred there took place at Elos, the deceased being pilgrims.

Bourke is nerrly surrounded by water, owing to the Darling river overflowing its banks* The water, however, is filling up tream, and serious damage is not appre hended. The French Chamber of Daputies, by a majority of 72, resolved on the total repeal of duties on wines, beer, and cider in lieu of a partial lepeal proposed by Government. This will involve a deficit of 150 million franc 3. Mr Wilson, produce expert from Victoria, has inspected Fish's rabbit evaporation process which will dry three thousand rabbits per day. The rabbits may then be packed ready for export as ordinary cargo, and will keep fresh for six months. The French Admiral has taken violent offence because the Newfoundland Govern ment insists on French fishermen paying duty on goods landed on the treaty shore. The Admiral refused the hospitality ex tended to him by the Governor. French retaliation is feared. The Khedive of Egypt, seeing the force of the Sultan's arguments that he should reassert his authority in Egyptian affairs, demands at least a body-guard in Cairo. The Sultan, however, is reluctant to grant the request. It is rumored that the Khedive would prefer abdication to British tutelage. In <;he discussion on the Home Rule Bill Mr Gladstone declared there was a general sentiment in the House of Commons in favor of the retention of the Irish members for all purposes, therefore the Government were prepared to submit to the judgment of the House. Messrs Rathbone and Wallace de nounced the change proposed by the Govern ment. The " Times " accused Mr Gladstone of trickery.

They think that this, added to a very considerable su,n.i port Mr Bees will certainly obtain from amongst the Government supporters, will secure for him the victory." Mr Hastie, the Secretary of the National Association, when asked if the preceding paragraph was correct said it was not furnished by* himself, nor was he aware the matter had been dealt with by the Council, conse quently he could not give authoritative information of the plan of the National Association in regard to the contest.
