THE ASHBURTON LIBERAL ASSOCIATION.

10 THE EDITOK. Sir,—" Elector " and Mr Carson have seen fit to criticise Mr McLachlan's letter to the A.shburton "Liberal" Association. How, to my mind, that letter is just what my one who knows honest John McLach lan would have expected. As I under stand matters the ballot paper was sent to the several candidates for the purpose of ascertaining whether they would sub scribe to all the planks of the Associa tion s platform. Mr McLachlan, with characteristic straightforwardness, tells the Association that b» cannot subscribe to all their planks, and, as he does not recognise the Association as representing the " Liberals " ot the electorate, asks them to withdraw his name. It appears to have become the fashion lately for Prohibitionists and advocafees of women's suffrage 10 form Associations for securing the election of candidates pledged to carry their pet projects ; and, as we have been repeatedly told by their leaders, all other considerations are secondary, and these matters must be the crucial test for candidates. As oue of the original promoters of a Liberal Association in another electorate which has done good work in the past, and has not yet failed to place its candidate at the head of the poll, in spite of determined and powerful opposition, I think I may be pardoned for presuming to have a little say in this matter. There are a large number of the electors of this, and every district in New Zealand, who do not recognise Prohibition or female suffrage as "Liberalism." Pro hibition is looked upon as "coercion"— an interference with the liberty of the subject, which is entirely opposed to true Liberalism, and can only be called intem perance and intolerance. Prohibitionists, in their infatuation, will not accept any measures for the mitigation of the evils they charge to the drink traffic, but must absolutely deny every man and woman in the country the right to use their own judgment and indulge in the moderate use of alcoholic liquors, because forsooth, a few diunkards with no will of their own indulge themselves to excess. Professor Huxley, in addressing a meeting of the British Association, said " there is no more harm in a pipe than there is in a cup of tea. A man may poison himself with green te3, or kill himself by eating too much beefsteak. For ivy own part I con sider tobacto, in moderation, Is a great sweetener and equaliser of the temper." The same would apply equally to alcohol —a man may kill himself by soaking in it, but never. by the moderate use of i*. I wonder if it has ever occurred to any advocate of Prohibition (the majority of whom make a profession, at least, of religion) that they are arrogating to themselves aright which the Great Creator Himself has not seen fit to exercise I Surely if He in His wisdom has left man a free agent, it is not for us puny mortals to make laws to deprive him of the liberty his Creator has given him. As to female suffrage, we who are opposed to it are accused of all sorts of things, and told that we cannot call ourselves Liberals if we deny our womankind the franchise ; but we hold a different oqinion. We believe that we have no more right to ask our women to fight political battles than we have to equip and (rain them a? Amazons, and send them to do battle *'i' the imminent deadly breach." "But," s*y the Women's Franchise champions, "we don't want anything from them but their votes," "We don't want them to enter Parliament," Just so ! We never thought you did, gentlemen; you will be content to let your partners take »U the tricks whilst you score the honors. Your female warriors may do %11 the skirmishing and picket work, may storm the citadel and take the fortess, but their chivalrous champions will re lieve them of the heavier duties of generalship, and will not burden them with the weight of the laurel wreath. The natural and logical sequence of Women's Franchise, must be women in Parliament. There is no getting away from that, and I, for one, have too high an opinion of women in general ever to wi&h to see them enter the political arena. 14 Elector " says "If there was no other Liberal to vote for but him" (Mr McLachlan), "I would for once in my life be a Conservative." Mr Carson says *• Members are eligible, whether they have one idea or no idea, so long as they subscribe to the platform." And these be your teachers, Oh, Liberals of Ashburton ! Can you not see that by the splitting of votes which Mr MoLachlan warned you of, you are straining at the gnat and swallowing, not only the camel but his load I Mr McLachlan was the first Liberal candidate to declare himself He is a man of unblemished reputation, a powerful speaker and debater, well acquainted with the requirements of the district and of the country, but ha wiil not subscribe to that one p?ank, so the '* Liberals" must bring forward a candi date who will, thereby lessening his chances and probably securing the return of a Conservative. After that " Advance Ashburton," and its " Liberal " Associa tion ! Trusting to your courtesy to insert the above.—l am, etc., Liberal Elector.

The Liquor Legislation.

A Parliament arypp»reßpondent wires to, a j southern contemporary the following: — | The increasing trend of general opinion towards the belief that the Liquor Bill is after all a brewers' and publicans' bill has not increased the jubilation of the Govern* raent party, and certain of those of the Blue Ribbon Army *ho followed Sir Bobert Stout on his Licensing Bill, but opposed his many motions of amendments to the Government measure are said to be more and more concerned,at the thought of those tell-tale division lists, which the knight will surely publish far and wide ere the battle of election be gins. The ill-concealed satisfaction of the leaders of the whisky party during the closing hours of Friday's dis cussion and elsewhere since make it clear that Sir Robert is lively to haye'a greater fpljowipg at tjie general election on th,e question cf prohibition than moderate pen supposed on a first peiusal of the present bill. I am told on good authority that oppo sition to the bill is being organised in the Upper House which will consist cf the immediate followers of Sir Robert and such others as are in sympathy with the extreme section of the temperance party. It will not be of any avail, for they will be numerically weak, and the vested interests represented in the Chamber must be in the nature of things on the side of the bill. Tke bill is to be recom r mitted in tho Lower House in order to strike out !:Mr Buckland's Bellamy's amendment, '■

INTERPROVINCIAL.

Wellington, August 28. The Hon. W. W. Johnston has declined to contest the mayoralty. In several of the city pulpits yesterday the Government Licensing Bill was re* ferred to. The Rev Messrs Murray and Lewis (Wesleyan Church), Paterson (St John's), and Dallaston(B*ptisfc) denbunced the Bill. At the Prohibition open air meeting the Rev Mr Peters said the measure was calculated to hinder rather I than advance temperance reform. Other speakers also condemned the Bill. A large meeting of wholesale and retail tobacconists was held in the Chamber of Commerce to-day to discuss the provisions of the Tobacconists Amendment Bill now before Parliament. The meeting was unanimous in opposition to the measure, and seveial speakers pointed out the in justice of the provisions to the trade and also to smokers. It was resolved that an influential deputation should seek an interview with the Colonial Treasurer on the matter.
