Ashburton Guardian Magna est Veritas et Prævalebit MONDAY, JULY 31, 1893. DISGRACED.

Thb cablegrams from London which reached New Zealand on Saturday morning, and have now been read by Most of the population of this colony, cannot fail to have shattered m the people's mind what was to most Britons a cherished idea—that tha British House of Common* was the most dig nified, best mannered, most gentle manly, and altogether the highest toned of any deliberative, let alone legislative assembly on the face of the earth. It has ever been the proud boast of the British subject;—and till now the boast was well founded—that the representa tives of the people m the British Lower House were incapable of conducting themselves as other than the cultured polished gentleman they were ac. credited with being, and their being such was a sine qua non m candidature for the suffrages of the British electors. But the cablegrams referred to describe I a scene on the floor of the House of Commons such as one can hardly credit could have occurred had the actors m it been " out on the loose," and the theatre of it a place of questionable reputation, and the hour one long after stern respectability had closed its doors and shutters, offered its evening prayer, and gone virtuously to bed. We have heard of law-makers m the Far West, tired of using argument that appeals to the reasoning powers, or wanting that argument, or failing m language to give expression to it, losing their tempers and appealing to the e?er handy "gun," which, with its short sententes of six leaden words, if it did not convince the opponents effectuaUy " settled " the dispute, and for ever, m the case of the unfortunate legislators who were "struck" with the force of the arguments used. "We have read sad accounts of the conduct of some Australian senators, whose language m debate sometimes fell to the level of the larrikin who is now so much m evidence as a sample of New South Wales civilisation. We have read of scenes of tumult and disorder m the French Chamber of Deputies, and were not surprised at them m an assembly made up of men of the most excitable race of people m Europe. Only the other day we read of the Czechs wrecking the chamber m which they had not been successful m getting everything their own way. But the British House of Commons to be for a quarter of an hour the scene of a row, a free fight m which the members pummelled each other like prize pugilists, to~e each other's clothes like enraged fish fags, knocked each other down like bxrgees m a drunken quarrel those on the floor trampled on and walked over, the whole surging m one excited, struggling, shouting, swearing mob ! We feel as if we dare not believe it! But we fear we must, for the subject is too grave for the cablegrapher to joke on. Well may the people ia the galleries cry " Shame," and hiss and hoot at the men who, holding the highest positions m the gift of the people of their country, c«uld so far forget what was due to the honor of the nation who honored them m their election. Well may the Speaker administer to the mob of rowdies» dignified rebuke when he was summoned to call the well-dressed but sadly dishevelled rabble cu£; pf the disgraceful brawl into which the Com mittee of the whole had degenerated, and back to some semblance of House of Commons order, By this sad lapse from the high character fop gentle manly bearing which the House of Commons has deserved during this century the members who took part i.i the disgraceful scene have trailed th c honor of England m the dust before the whole world, and many a leer and sneer will be on the countenances of those who love her not as they read the telegrams depicting the scene which, between one setting and rising of the sun has mad# the popular branch of the Legislature of Olreat Britain a reproach to the nation and a

by-word to the world. Bitter must have been tbe feeling on the Home Rule question and deep tha hate be tween the two parties m the I£ou«ft wh«n at a moment's notice and with apparently slight provocation the pent up wrath, long suppressed, could so easily overrun the safety-valves of strong language and burst out m this terrible explosion. We fear it ia n«fc over yet, and if such a scene can be possible m tha House of Commons on this vexed question of Ireland's autonomy, what is likely to b#ppen^ with this example before them, amo#g the people most interested, and who have no senatorial traditions of dignity to respect and act as a tonic of their temper I

Our Alford correspondent writes to-day:— Snow to the depth of four inches fell between 10p.m. and 1 am Sunday morn ing. Bain commenced m the afternoon and is still falling and snow disappearing, Ihe "Westport Times" Bays that a splendid new seam o! coal, 20ft thick, has been struck m the Westport-CWdiff mine at an easy altitude. The value of the property is thus further proved. A single mahogany tree m Honduras was recently cut into boards, which when sold m the European market realised over £2000. The master of the Home wishes to a<* knowledge with thanks the receipt; of fifty apple trees from Mr J. Thomas, cake and buns from Mr Madden, for the use of the inmates.. Ministers have decided to ask the Bail way Commissioner! to grant the new Coun cillors gold passes instead of the "leather medals" to which they so strenuously , objecttd. ▲ London'cable ef July 29 says :—ln the appeal case, Union Company of New Zea land v Claridge, the Company have been ordered to lodge a petition before October 1. The increase «f rabbits m the Mackenzie Country (says the "Timara Herald ") is at tributed to the working of the evolution principle. It is said they are developing hooked claws to enable them to climb the wire fences. At the Wellington Bowing Club's " send off" to Mr Harold Thomson he was face tiously (told by his comrades that they ex pected him to give a good account of the Tarasaki highwayman and m a jocular way he said he would if he ever got the ohance. He has certainly kept his word. During a discussion m Parliament on the appointment of an Industrial and Manu factures Committee, Mr E. M. Smith took occasion to say, " I hare here documentary evidence and a geological map to prove that m the country between Taranaki and Auck land we have 447,000 square miles of country containing coal that can |be produced m greater abundance and at a cheaper rate than from the Westland mines." The Premier has agreed that electoral rolls and forms of applications for registra tion shall be placed at every country pest office m order that electors m remote dis trict* may themselves examine the rolls and fill m the form of application should they find their names dot upon them. The applications will then be forwarded free by the postmaster. This will obviate the neces sity for the present system of sending round electoral agents to secure the registration of electors m sparsely populated districts. Mrs Bobottom, widow of the late A. T. Robottom, photographer, - announces her intention of carrying on the business on her own account m the old premises m Moore street. It may not be generally known, but it is a fact all the same, during the long and weary illness of Mr Robottom,— who for a good many years back had seldom been able to put m a square day's work— ! Mrs Bobottom did the main portion of the work, and the late Mr Bobottom used to remark with pride that the most delicate touches m his work were those given by Mrs Bobottom. Photography is a line of business for which women are specially fitted, and doubtless Mrs Bobottom will receive the support she solicits and so much deserves.

On Wednesday evening'tfae platform of Ilie Oddfellows' Hall will be occupied by Mr Ninian Melville, M.L.A., New South Wales. Mr Melville is Chairman of Com mittees m the House, and is held m high eeteem by his fellow members. He is an enthusiastic advocate of temperance, and has been m New Zealmd before on that mission, but this time he comes specially to advocate the oause of direct veto. As a public speaker he stands far above his fellows, and he possesses m a remarkable degree the gift of smart repartee, and many an unfortunate " impudent" Ins suffered sad defeat at his handa, and fancied himself a martyr, under the crush

Mr Melville has been holding meetings and delivering lectures m the south with re markable success, and the " Otago Daily Times "speaks of one lecture he delivered of an hour's duration as a powerful temper ance oration. : The Bakaia Town Hall was well filled on Friday evening last on the occasion of the rendering of the service of song " Wee Davie" m aid of the Presbyterian Church Organ Fund, and certainly a more enjoyable musical* treat has not been given to the Bakaic people for some time. The stage had been tastefully decorated by some lady friends with pot plants, flowers, and drapery, and looked very attractive. The choir, under the direction of Mr 80110 Sharpe, was full and well balanced, and its work showed that considerable pains had been taken with itQ graining. Miss Bruce presided at the organ, and be? apcjojnpaniments added much to the success of the service The connec tive reading were given by Mr W. P. Grant, of Selma, whose well known etyle left nothing to be desired. The concerted pieces were well rendered, the expression being admirab^, and £he soloists were very suc cessful. After the service hearty votes of thanks were accorded to the ehpir, leader, and reader, which were suitably acknow ledged by Mr Sharpe, who mentioned their special indebtedness to the friends from other denominations who had so ably assisted, and to Mr Qrantfor his excellent readings; and as collector fgr the organ fund, he thanked those present for J&ei? patronage and the help thus accorded.

NEW ZEALANDERS F.NEW SOUTH WALES.

THE DECIDING MATCH.

Sydney, July 29. I Despite the inclement aspect of the I weather there were fully 20,000 people I present to witness the deciding test match New Zealanders v. New South Wales. Owing to the heavy rain yester day and this morning, the ground was very sodden and muddy, but no rain fell during the game. 4bbet, one of the best local backs; waa unable to play, and he was replaced by Wick ham. The following were the teams :—New South Wales—Full back—Cobb; three quarter-bucks—Roberts, Wickham, and Surman; half-backs—Barrie and Gallo way ; forwards—Hedlon, Fraier, Scott, Sawyer, Veech, Alcock, Allport, fliddle sfcone, and McMuvdo. New Zealand— Full back—D'Arcy ; t^rse-quarter backs—Gage, Wynyardand Jervis ; half-backs—Bay ley and Butland ; forwards—Hiroa, McEenzie (2), Lambie, Gray, Murray, Watson, Oliphant and i Cockroft. ' Bayley captained the New Zealanders, ! while Fraser acted m a similar capacity for the local men. Lambie kicked off, and a splendid exhibition of football resulted m New Zealand scoring a potted goal and four tries (sixteen points), New South Wales nil. Mr McAusland acted as referee. July 30, The Wakatipu, with the New Zealand football team sailed for Wellington at 10 o'clock last night. Mr Carruthers, M.P., speaking at the farewell to the visitors, eulogised the gentlemanly and sportsmanlike manner m which the team had comported them selves during the tour. The trophy presented by two Sydney residents for the best all round play among the New Zealand team has been awarded to Bayley, of Taranaki. An enthusiastic crowd witnessed the departure of the Wakatipu. (Received July 31, noon.) -:,;-v Sypney, July 31. Lambie, Jervis, D'Arcy, Watson, Oli phant, Gray, and H. McKenzie played splendidly on Saturday. The game was a forward one throughout. The "Daily Telegraph" says that under the dis advantages of a greasy ball and slippery turf the new men played up to their high reputation.

The President of the New York Saving* Bank urges the enforcing of sixty days' notice of withdrawal of deposits. The death is announced at Sydney of the R«v Dr. George Sutherland, who was a minister m New Zealand thirty years ago. The Kusian Government has issued instructions prohibiting Russians from sealing at sea or on land without per mission from the Government.

The New South Wales Premier and his colleagues are said not to be en entirely m accord with the Premier's recent utterauces, especially m regard to the payment of members. four hundred of the unemployed owing to the closing down of the silver mines m Denver, United States, cap tured a train and compelled the engi neer to take them eastward. News hag been received that Sir G. Portal, British Commissioner, after starting for the noasf, was urgently re called to Uganda, owing to the unsatis factory behaviour of the Mahommedan party.

The Press generally endorse the decision of the court-martial and ex press regret that Rear-Admiral Mark ham did not dare to disobey the order, though they are not surprised at his refusal. I The Cederbank, from Newcastle, 1 (N.S.W.) has arrived at San Francisco, ! with her cargo, on fire. Two hundred i tons of cargo had bee,n jettisoned, and before the flames were extinguished the vessel had to be beached and then i flooded. A horrible scene took place at an electrocution m New York prison. The current failed and the man re vived. The doctors administered chloroform, and having replaced him m the chair switched on the current from a city lamp post.

The new taxation includes an increase m the customs duties, a land tax, probate duties and income tax with an exemption of £100. The proposal has been well received, but it is considered that an appeal to the country is certain.

WESTERFIELD.

(JTBOM i. CORRWncOKDtOT.)

The people, of this district have a grievance which, if not remedied Boon, will be the death of somebody. I refer to Green's ford, on the south brtnch off the Ashburton river. A notice is to be seen posted up with the inscription, "This crossing dangerous, by order of the Board." And by o»Jer of the Board it seems likely to continue dangerous. We find, as John says, that "Toomuchee talkee talkee no good." Then I advise that the only chance of having this serious matter looked into, is to petition the County Council, praying that they may endeavor to buy of Messrs Todhuuter and Dowding a strip of land extending s> con siderable way above and, below the point where the road from the south enters the river. If such a strip of land could be got a few chains m width, it would enable the travelling public to pick their way across the river with safety at' all times, excepting during high floods. The purchase of a piece of l*nd by the Council, as above suggested, would perhaps settle , the vexed question of a supply of water to Mr Lublow's mill, as the County Council could then deal as they thought fit with the matter. It seems a hard case that the grain growers m the neighborhood of the Westetield mill cannot dispose of thera wheat there, for the reason that the miller cannot at all times get water enough to work the mill profitably, not withstanding the immense quantity of it that is running daily past the door. I ! have known Green's ford for a long time, i and I look upon tbe bfforts to deflect the flooded current of the river at that point, by fixing Joose branches of trees m it as futile, because the low banks there consist of nothing but Incoherent shingle placed m pociMon by the river itself within a very recent period, conse quently the waving about of branohes by the wash of the water tends but to acce lerate the disintegration of the banks. It only wants one big flood, or a few small ones,, to carry the operations of the river a little further on, and bank up the por tion near the roid which for some years has been subjected to erosion. t Green's ford is the only ford between Ashburton and Mount Somera where much traffic takes placo, and it is to be hoped that the County Council will consider the matter as soon as possible. It can be seen m this one instance how unwise it was m former Governments to alienate lands right up to the water edge of rivers, and it would form a very good plank m the programme of land law reformers "That frontages to rivers, five chains wide, should be exempt from alienation by sale or otherwise, to ; all etarnity." i
