Ashburton Guardian Megna est Veritas et Prævalebit. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1893. LOCAL AND GENERAL.

Acceptances for Trotting Club's meeting close at Kelly's Central Hotel to-night at nine o'clock. The Ariel Bicyc'e Club's meeting ad vertised for to-night is unavoidably postponed. A girl aged sixteen has been discovered »t West Maitland in an advanced stage of leprosy. Syd-ey has been declared free of small pox, and clean bills of health are being issued to outgoing vessels. The registrar at Dunedin will continue issuing electoral rights to seamen and com mercial travelers until he hands the maiked rolls to the returning officers. King Humbert, and Count Kolnoky, of Austria, meet at Monza, in Northern Italy, to discußs a proposal to reduce the strength of the Italian army owing to the state of the finances. Making a mountain stream run above a railroad track i« a unique piece of engineer ing that the Southern Pacific Railroad is shortly to commence near Wright's station, in the danta Cruz Mountains, in California. When compleUd, it will probably make the largest artificial cataract in the world. Plucky Traverß ! Reflections having been cast on Mr Travers' suitability as a member of the House, on the score of his age, he advertises a challenge to walk all his oppon ents, over thirty years old, up the path to the top of Mount Victoria, the hill overlook ing Wellington city, about 800 ft in height. The Dawn of Peace held its meeting on Thursday evening in the Templar Hall. There was a fair attendance. It was unanimously resolved to support Me Waby as M.H.R. for Ashburton, he being the only candidate who is in favor of giving the control of the liquor trance into thp hands of the people by majority vote. The following w^ll represent tbe Ash burton CC. against Temuka GO. on Saturday next:—Denshire, $. Andrews, Jackson, flower, Todd, Ruesell, G. Andrew?, Fooks, I^ane, Orbell and Bourke. Emer gencies, Grant, and Cromie. Umpire, M. Buchanan. Scorer, A- Curtis. Play to commence at 11 a.m. sharp. There is now on view in the window of Mr S. Salek, jeweller, who executed the order a handsome marble clock presented to Mr A. Jones of the railway staff, Ashbur ton. Jones who is being removed to another dis,tric:fc, has gfiaed. the good will and esteem of' his fellow workmen who determined he should not leave them with out some tojken of their regard for him. The clock bears a fiiv^r p>jte wjtb the following inscription f —'' N.'frß, presented to Mr A. Jones from railway employees Ashburtoa, November 13,1893." Mr T. E. Kilworth hafl been kept very busy of la*e with several large orders, not only for local requirements but for other towns. Amongst otijer orders ije hag nearly completed two grass seed Owning machines with all the latest improvement, weeding several special features of his own design. One of the new machines is to replace a smaller one which he made to the order of Mr David Thomas two years ago, and which has b/een fijun^ tyo #mall for Mr Thomaa' requirements. The oth#r is for % Af utual Agency C-mpany of Dunedin, Th'esg machines have eleven sieves, and the seed travels in the cleaning operation a distance of forty-three feet. The top row of sieves takes away the rough stuff, large straws and other "life*?. Tfef nest process through which the sped passes jus a special idea oi ifr Kilworth for getting rid of the sorrel} seed —a rotary sieve with a motion very aimilftF to that of the old haud sieve. It is claimed for this that it more effectually displaces the sorrcll tha<> the ordinary perforated sieve. Two other se.ta of perforated sieves extract the goose gram and itie hare grass respec tively, and the remajmderf; then passes on to an exhaust to lose the ohafif and dijst. The 'strength of this exhaust is regulated to % nicety by wooden valves, and it must be a deoidfd advantage that the dust which in other" machinejs extracted at an earlier period of the cleansing operation c effectually enaF»tf4 ia a |n?4 ftage. ' '

The complete electoral roll for Christ, church contains 14,682 names. Excursion fares and train arrangements for the Dunedin show are advertised in this issue. At the little bridge on the left hand side going to Tinwald, is a hole in the road, just large enough to accommodate a horse's hoof, and until it is repaired persons driving or riding across would do well to be careful. The skirl of the bagpipes carried by some of the Scotch regiments on Indian frontier seivice greatly de'ights the hill tribes. The Luahala in particnlar are much attracted by the music, which they consider re sembl«» the strain* of their own native instruments, notably the snake-charmer's pipe. Ten thoucand three hundred and forty nine oxen and 2221 sheep were imported into the United Kingdom during one week recently. The imports also included 34,443cwt of fresh beef, 69,765cwt of fresh mutton, 30,414cwt of hams, 35,991cwt butter, 25,181cwb cheese, 1,368,332cwt wheat. Mr Stephen Boreham, a sheaier, well known in North Otago as a Unionist, who stands for Timaru as a labor candidate, spoke on Wednesday evening. He had a large meeting and got a vote of confidence. He is a representative of the working men. He stated he had shorn 120 sheep and walked fifteen miles to town that day. On Wednesday evening last Mr B. G. Wright, one of the candidates for the Rangi tata seat, addressed a crowded meeting of the electors in the Volunteer Hall, Geral dine. There waß a large number of ladies present. Mr Wright spoke for an hour and a half. Several questions were put to him, which he replied to in a most candid matter. A vote of thanks and confidence n him was passed. The most interesting sight in Prague is the old Jewish cemetery. It is in the centre of the city, surrounded by thick walls. There are thousands of ancient moss-covered slabs, some bearing inscriptions of great antiquity which only Hebrew scholars can decipher. The cemetery is unused, but it is said no other Jewish burial ground in Europe can compare with it for age or general interest to the antiquarian. A lamentable accident occurred at Naples recently ih the parish church of Torre del Annunziata, At the evening service a candle set fire to some hangings, and the flames spread to a portion of the woodwork. The church was very full, and a terrible panic ensued. The people rushed to the doors, and a fearful press arose around the narrow exits. Five children and eight women were crushed to death, and a large number of persons were injured. The Hon J. McKenzie addressed the electors of Waihemo in the Town Hall, Pal merston on Wednesday evening^ Although it was a soaking wet night the hall was crowded in every part, nearly a third of the audience being Jadies. Mr McKenzie's entry to the hall was the signal for loud and prolonged cheering, while at the same time the band played several Scotch airs. Alto gether it was a great ovation. At the close of the address the Minister was loudly applauded, and a number of bouquets were thrown to him by the ladies. Mr D. Fleming moved a vote of thanks and confidence in Mr John McKenzie, which was seconded by Mr J. Service. Mr F. Aymes moved, and Mr William Kitchen seconded, a vote of thanks only. Scrutineers were appointed, and on the amendment being put twenty five voted for it. The motion was carried amidst loud applause. The nnmber of hands held for it could not be counted, but it was estimated by the chairman at 150.

DENOMINATIONAL GRANTS.

TO THB EDITOB. Sik, - In view of the coming elec ion it is advisable for those who take an in terest in out State to carefully consider certain claims made by different sections of our community. We may reckon upon the consistent and energetic action of our Roman Catholic fpllow citizens in the matter of an educitioml grant. Lst us examine their claim. Is it not briefly this 'i A certain number, and that not a very great proportion of our citizens, object upon religious principle to make use of our schools, and rather than do so go to the expense of erecting schools of their own. This they consider a grievance which they are anxious to have redressed by a considerable grant for their exclusive use. If such a measure is allowed by any Government it must be prepaid to grant proportionate benevolence to each and every denomination, from th« Anglican and Presbyterian to the Sandlmanian and Salvationist. To whom do we owe in New Zealand all that has been done for general education ? Is it not to the great Profejtant churches of England and Scot land, and the fruit of their labors is to- j day free to every denomination that has eve? been denominated. That the Roman Catholics, as a body, have not availed themselves of our free schools does not entitle them to a particular grant for their especial behoof. And make quite sure of this, that the Church of Borne will never permit any interference on the part of any temporal power. Her grant (if a Protestant country is weak enough to give her one) will be entirely under spiritual control. Let no almighty Government expect to say to her—" Thus far shalt thou come and no further." What has the Church of Rome on which to base a claim to exceptional favor 1 Nothing in this country outside the limits of her own communion. And those of us who know Ireland from north to south need only compare Belfast with Cork or Londonderry with Dublin in the matter of school and police returns to see whether the Protestant or Romish Church has done most to further education. In Switzerland again a marked contrast exists between the Protestant and Catholic cantons, and again police and educational statistics will bear witness as to which system it is most advisable to encourage. We can only judge by results, and we take it that the ultimate object of education is to increase the number of industrious, moral citizens, capable of building up a State that may take an honorable place in future history. An illustration may perhaps elucidate this question. A lodge of Masons or Good Templars provide medical atten dance for their brotherhood. They ap point a physician well accredited and com petent, and every man may have the bene fit of his skill, the lodge paying expenses. Suppose certain members refuse to avail themselves of his services. They do not like his methods and remedies. They call in another practitioner. Are they entitled to have fees paid as if they fol lowed the rules of the frater nity? No. The managing commit tee would find themselves involved in endless confusion if they attempted to provide a physician after the heart of every individual of their society ; and so will it be with any Government which undettakes to supply education to the taste of every section of the community. Candidates will do well to consider this subject carefully before pledging them selves to support denominational grants for any denomination whatever, —I am, etc., Elector.

THE UNEMPLOYED.

TO THE EDITOB. Sir, —If you cvn spare me space, would you kindly allow me to say a few words in reply to " Templar " who says : —" In j reference to Bo nald Oliver's remarks on. the temperance question, it is quiet evi dent that he is no working man's friend." I wish Templar to understand that I did not write with the view to teach working men ethics, but to give them the idea I entertain myself as to the best political course we should follow in order that em ployment might become plentiful in the country. I may here remark that tem perance is not teetotalism, hut modera tion in the appetites and passions. I take the sacred volume as my guide en the drink question, and ia it likely that I would, for one moment, prefer the views inculcated by lsitt and Co. to those divinely sanctioned by Moses, David, Solomon and Christ. If Templar cannot use the gifts of the Almighty without wasting his substance by " tarrying long at the wine," then perhaps it is good for him, and also for others, that he should take a vow of abstinenoe and keep it. But let him not state, as he has done broadly, that the working man through his drunken habits becomes hard up, ia clothed in rags, etc. In saying this of his fellow men, I think he ought to have con fined himself to special cases only. lam prepared to maintain that the working men and working women of this country will stand up in personal appearance, cor rectness of dress, sobriety, and general good behaviour with the same number of the same class in any other part of the British dominions ; even although they do assist the revenue of the colony to the extent of spending; a shilling in drinking the health of their Mends, Queen and country, when they meet at such places as the show or holiday sports. I wish to remind Templar that it fas on the authority of sober working men, and not drunken loafers, that I mads mention of Mrs Sutler's hospitality. Templar s*ys —" Stop the drink fraffig and then there would be no necessity to ask charity from anyone," Templar cannot surely ap» predate the momentous nature of the question he would dispose *of in such a summary manner. The truth is, that in the present financial condition of the colony, if tie revenu^ derived from beer, spirits, wine and tobacco, was suddenly cut off, John' Bull would have to mortgage the Britain of the South, to the money leaders of the Britain of the North, jn order to rafse funds for the purpose of paying the civil gervants, and meeting ttye unjustifiable sums we have to pay away to the members of both Houses of Parlia ment, lam quite safe in saying that the management of New Zealand, as an estate belonging to the colonists engaged in re claiming it from nature, c^sts more than double Vhat"- it ought to do. Adam Smith sapsintils "\yealtjj of Nations'?:— "All the different civil astrtblishnients in NorVh America, in shore, exclusive of those of Maryland and North Carolina, did nob, before the commencement of disturbances with the Mother country, cost the in habitants above £64,700 a year, an ever menjorabje example at how small an ex pense three mlllj6ns v of' people may not only be governed but well governed.?' We have no disturbance with any country, why do we wast* ""C-" immense Bums unproductive^? In con clusion, let me asjf the merry lads and bonny country lasses to do tlieh? best to return to Parliament gentlemen who are in sympathy with the employers of labor, and who are conversant with the Influences which disturb, or give con fidence to banks and other monetary institutions —men, in short, who do not believe in the compulsory taking any of one man's honestly bought land anq giv ing it to another; and who will do their best to nee fairplay dope, by lending their aid to have an equitable adjustment of taxation made as between town and country settler*, If we pub the right

men in now, the men who understand work will soon get it, without being questioned as to whether he belongs to the "Knights Templars" or "Knights Hospitalers." Probably the best knight hood he could belong to wouU be the good old order of "Sandy, John, and Pat." It was this order that built up England's greatness, by their indomitable pluck on mmy a hard fought field and bloody deck, against fearful odds, at a time when " splicing the main brace " with good Jamiaca rum was the order of the day.—l am, etc.^ D. Oliver.

THE HINDS.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —Replying to a letter in your is6ue of 14ih inst, signed *' John MnKoague, Secretary of the Hinds Libraty Com mittee," permit ire to point out a few mis-statements appearing therein. Mr Denby and I arranged for a ball to take place after the church concert, and as the pastor did not nrieh to include the .profits | of the ball with those of the concert, we agreed to give what was left to the Libray Committee, if they chose to accept it. At the meeting to settle affairs Mr Denby said there would be a few shillings profit when all moneys due were paid, and we shall be glad to hand the amount to the above mentioned committee. Meanwhile, I merely desire to say, I see no necessity tor the publication of the Hinds letters or for the insinuations they contained.—lam, etc., Thos. Hoimes.

A CORRECTION.

TO TWE EDITOR. Sib,—l must ask you in fairness to my self to correct your report of what oc curred at the R.M. Court yesterday, as 1 misunderstanding is likely to arise from your version of two cases in which the public are considerably interested. There was no case of Lawry v Leggett before the Court, the police haying taken action against Mr Leggett without my knowledge or consent, subsequently asking me to attend as a witness. When I arrived at the Courthouse in connection with the above case a summons was placed in my hand requiring me to appear as defendant i In a case in which I was not charged with using " abusive language." Mr Leggett's name did not appear on it as either infor mant or one against whom an offence had been committed. But when the case of Police v Leggett was called on Mr Leggett informed the Court that ho had that morning laid an information against me, and asked for a ren*and of the case against him. At the suggestion of the Court the case was withdrawn without my consent being asked, although I was supposed to be the party aggrieved. Mr Leggett voluntarily withdrew the charge against me without the case being called on, and without my being consulted by either Mr Leggett or the Court, thus depriving me of the opportunity or disproving what was manifestly a bogus charge. —I am, etc., Samuel Lawry. Ashburton, November 17,1893.

[It is true thai the charge was laid against Mr Leggetb by the Police, but the Sergeant stated in Court that he should not have taken any action but for the intervention on Mr Lawry's behalf of a. person who said he waa a Wellington J.P. How it was done " without Mr Lawry'a knowledge " 1 do not understand, as the Sergeant said in his presence that h« would summons, and not arrest Mr Leggett, as desired by the aforsud J.P., and it was only for Mr Lawry to have ■aid the word, and no information would have been laid. Mr Lawry is also correct in saying he was not charged with "abusive" language. The words in the informa tion are " using insulting words towards this informant," and it is signed "William L-pggett." Where is the difference be tween this and abusive language towards William Leggett ? A.t the Magistrate's suggestion the Police consented to with diaw the charge against Mr Leggett (which they had been unwilling to bring), whereupon Mr Lawry asked—" Wm he also to understand that the charge against himself wvi withdrawn? Mr Leggett replied—" Yes, as far as lam concerned," and the matter was ended.—Yovr Reporter.]

The Trouble in South Africa.

Capetown, November 14. During the war Lobenguela and his men fell in with a band of missionaries, whom the natives received kindly and escorted safely to Tati. November 15. IChama'a men 6 have returned to Parapye, but have not deserted, as at first was supposed. The latest news from Matabeleland is to the effect that the natives are still retiring, and it is apparently their intention to cross the Zambesi river. The territory lying between the rivers $hasi and Rainaquabarn (be tween Biilawayo and Khaina's country) has been proclaimed British ground.

CABLE NEWS.

A Servian envoy was stabbed at a banquet at the Paris Opera House. The New Zealand Loan and Mer cantile Agency Company offer to con vert the secured pr«ditor§' portion of the pash balance into first mortgages. The holders pf terminal debentures must accept second mortgage. j)r Renwick, the New South Wales Commissioner to the World's Fair, has forwarded to Sydney via London, under the customs seal, tha mineral exhibits; attached by the Chicago Sheriff, the latter finding he was powerless to in* terfere. In the New South Wales Legislative Assembly, the Mining on Private Property Bill has been read a second time. It provides for the payment of 2| per cent royalty, but empowers Ministers to temporarily rpduce qr suspend the rpyalty in cases whei:e, they may consider it too hjgjb. Qne o f the torpedo boats belonging to H.M.S. Rodney, of the Channel squadron, foundered near Gibraltar. She had been going at full speed, and in the act of turning round capsized in a similar manner to the Victoria. Her crew saw what was going to happen, and leaping: iri^o the wate,r were resc^ec! by tfeg boatg from «h> warships. At a meeting of the shareholders of the British Broken Hill Company on Monday, a notice of motion was tabled that three of the Directors should resign, because they are concerned in antagonistic Companies ; also a motion that the PirectqrVshquid not dfopgsg of any portion of the Company 1* pro perty without first consulting the colonial shareholders; also that a© alteration b.e made in the Articles of Association securing elective voting for the colonials at all meetings. The Directors haveconsidered theproposals, and rejected the first, but are prepared to concede the others with certain modifications.

All other crude oils are to be classed among the turpentines, which have, when used aa medicine, no therarwutic effect and are abandoned as an internal medicament.
