Another View of It.

■. - »■ ■ By W. W, White. In common with a number of other eec- j tors, I feel that none of the candidates offer- j ing for the seat are quite what we could wish ; for. This ia an important electorate, and ought to be represented by the majority, not the minority, as during the last term. We do want a representative for a faction, or sheep, or money ; but for men and women. I; will not be a disadvantage if he is a colonist of long standing, or a native ; and patriotic motives should be a little more in evidence than heretofore. A powerful effort snoukl be made to secure the full value of the ex tended frmch'se. The salient features of a progressive programme should include a radical change in the Upper House-a second chamber in a democracy ia quite out of place, It should be capable of yielding to the majo rity, and the best reform would be to make it a female chamber pure and simple. The | abolition of party government, bimphnca tion of the manner of conducting the busi ness in the Lower House. An elective Governor. Return of the railways to Go vernment control under one commissioner, with a strong bias in favor of giving Mr Vaile's system a trial. The gradual but cer tain transfer to the County Councilss of all local government. The return to electorates with natural boundaries irrespective ot population. In the multitude of Councillors there is nit necessarily safety or wisdom j quite the reverse The conducting of »ll elections through the post office. It Ml™B' ters or Parliament wished the opinion of the electors on a point under discussion, order the returning officers to demand a pol , which could be done at a cost of about a halt penny per head, and confer upon the public an inexpressible boon. The liquor traffic wants salutary but concise legislation.- Parliament fixing the gener*l conditions and the local government the detiils ot the traffic. But such devices as "lambing down," adulteration, or the sale ot in jurious compounds should be dealt with by the Parliament and punished as whit they are,—crimes. The influx of criminals, bad characters, aliens, and poor of the world must be stopped. It is the height ot absurdity to purify yourselves, whilst ad mitting barbarians in swarms to prey on your virtue. The principles of education must either be left intact, or the State must abandon the education of its children. Choose for yourselves. There is no relation between religion and the state, neither is there any sincerity in the demands for religious instruction in public schools—tuey have always been open for the teaching of religion. It is the loaves and fishes that are in demand. It is also highly desirable that a candidate can see bis way to support bir Robert Stout in his proposed reforms—if no other trustworthy leader has a better pro gramme to offer.

I" 1. Denby, captain of the Hinds Cricket Club, writes : -" As it appears the Hinds Club were ex pected to play a match in Ashburton on Wednesday, 1 will explain why they did not do so, viz.:—Because we had not promised to play. A challenge was received the day < previous, to which a reply was sent stating I that the time was not sufficient to get a team together. While regretting any inconveni ence or disappointment occasioned by our absence, we cannot accept any blame for our non-appearance " An extraordinary incident occurred on a narrow mallee track, a considerable distance on the further side of B rchchip, a township in Victoria, on the Barwon river, one night recently. Two young men, whose names have not transpired, were riding rapidly along in opposite directions and came on each other suddenly at a bend of the road. The horses crashed into ench other. One of the horses, a young one, dashed its head into the other's chest, and both were killed on the spot. The young ones neck was broken, and it is supposed that it ultimately rolled over on its rider. At daybreak next morning a traveller, passing along the same track, discovered the two horses lying dead on the ground, whicli was deluged with their blood, and the two riders lying helpless beside them, one of the men having only a short time previously regained conscious ness. Neither of the men had any bones broken, though both suffered severely from shock, and at latest accounts were both re covering.
