Ashburton Guardian Megna est Veritas et Prævalebit. MONDAY. JANUARY 8, 1894 REPRESSIVE MEASURES.

There are people -who designate the two political parties which exist with more or less modification in all civilised communitias as the Landed and Land less—the one representing the rich and aristocratic, the other the poor and plebeian. It does not follow, of course that every poor man—every man who has to toil for his daily bread, every man whose station in life is low down iv the social scale—is necessarily a follower of the Landless party. There are many such who are not. But eve since the days of Jack Cade, there have been men who, discontented with the uneven distribution of the good things of this life, have sought to bring about a change. Some have endea voured to do this by honorable and lawful means, soma have tried it by means which were neither one nor the other. Of the la tter are the men whom we know to-day as Anarchists, and who appear to be alarmingly numerous all over Europe and America, and whose notions are to be found infecting agitators in the Southern Hemisphere. What state of affairs social and political the Anarchists actually wish to see brought about is somewhat difficult bo find out; but the means they adopt to attain the end they have in yiew—whatever that may be —are only too painfully in evidence, Tl^ outrage at Barcelona by which a panic was created in the Lyceo Theatre and many lives were destroyed is still fresh in the minds of newspaper readers. Still fresher ii the memory of the bomb-throwing in the French Chamber of Deputies, the object of which out rage was to annihilate at one fell swoop the whole of the representatives of the people in the Legislature of France. The Governments of France $nd Spain have not allowed the out rages in question tq go unnoticed, but instead seem now to have awakened tq a sense of the danger of the situation "-and dangerous it is in the extreme. So long $s jbhe explosives available to the Anarchist were only sijch as neces sitated the employment of horses and vehicles in their movement from one place to another, and a considerable number of men to place tho gunpowder p position, the Anarchist was 3oni parati^jglj easy to manage. But with abhe more recent disco, yar^e? of science jbhe Anarchist has gro^yn into a political danger, and a wan can no. w HO intQ a pro\vd.ed ljuilcjing, carrying :.. -*♦• eoeke-t an explosive psw. ful enough to kill evei-j UUUK* /^ within the walls, and to raze building to its foundations. And if his plans are well laid, and his time aptly chosen, he may (bar accidents) be successful in doing all this, and yet able to walk out unscathed himself, and have the diabolical pleasure of witnessing the evil he has wrought. It was high time indeed that something were done, and the French Govern ment have passed repressive ineasur.es, under which large sums h^ve becii placed at the command of the authori • tm for increasing tb? police force, and

rendering it generally more efficient, The authorities ar3 preparing a scheme for adequate surveillance of persons known to have revolutionary tenden exes, and commissaries of police are to be established in certain towns j in I ranee which hitherto have been without them, whle the prefects are to have large sums placed at their dis posal, so that a sharp eye msy be kept i on suspects. A recent cable informed j us that the Spanish Government's re- j pressive measu es were to be a good i deal more heroic (if the term may be tolerated) than those of the French., The Spaniards intend to resort to tor ' ture to drag confessions from those caught red handed, and revelations as to accomplices. In these enlightened days of religious freedom one looks back with horror, upon the days in which torture was resorted to and with a similar feeling, no doubt, will the in- j tention of the Spaniards be regarded. Ho one will defend a resort to the rack, the thumb screw, the boot, or the hot iron for the purposes mentioned. But the bomb throwing is a new crime cowardly to the lowest degree, heinous in the extreme, and, if success ful, may at any moment leave a record of death in a community like that of the destroying angel in the homes of the Egyptians. The crime is not the crime of the ordinary murderer—the man who slays in hot blood for re venge, or in cold blood for robbery— but that of a body of men whose aim is to destroy the social structure of to day, and to build instead a new system of society. What that new system may be we know not, but that it has some powerful attraction for these men is evidenced by their almost maniaca} recklessness of action, and stoical in difference to the consequences, or ! fanatical glory in the act they have been guilty of. The Anarchist is a new criminal, and requires a new punishment. He must be stamped out at any cost, for while he is at large, working not his own wicked will but the will of the secret organisation of which he is a member and the instru ment, he is worse than a plague. When pestilence stalks abroad men are filled with a nameless dread, be cause they feel themselves powerless against the insidious foe who may seize them at any moment. Against this foe to law and order, who fights with weapons against which no defence can be made, it is useless to make war as against the ordinary criminal, and doubtless there are those who may, even in Christain countries, come to look upon any means as fair that will lead to the discovery and prompt ex tinction of the fiends incarnate who are ready to organise and carry out the terrible schemes of death with which Europe has recently been made familiar.

LOCAL AND GENERAL.

Forty two-tooth Lincoln rams from Heary Overton's flock were shipped at Lyfcte'.ton for Sydney by the Hauroto on Friday. Mrs Langtry possesses a dressiug bag, which is, prehaps, the loveliest and costliest of its kind. It is adorned with gold and jewelled fittings, and cost—only £1500. An excellent substitute for coal is now being made in Sweden. It is composed of wood charcoal and coal tar. A paste of these substances is made, which is run through a press. Woman suffrage was carried in Colorado (sa^'s " The Times) by a majority of 4000, the miners desiring to encourage female immigration thither from Hew England States. In connection with a banquet to celebrate the battle of Inkerman, the chairman re ceived the following letter from Miss Florence Nightingale, Knight of the Royal Red Cross: —"I am glad to hear that you are having a dinner at Aldershot in memory of the men who died so gallantly at Inkerman without a thought of self or of fame (at one time and in one spot, without officers and without orders, standing by their comrades and their duty without confusion and with out food). Not one of them expected to escape with life, and with no thought but to sell their lives as dearly as they could, their very names unknown, they saved the army, and perhaps Europe. Inkerman, the sol-, diers 1 battle, was a great Thermopylae Who ! pan fell what a few may do ? If these hand f uls of men had failed jin their pluck, where might we have been now ? Ttye course of history might haye changed. Will not & toast be drunk to their memory and to th# survivors ?—Florence Nightingale." The "Rangitikei Advocate" says that a sawmiller in its district recently advertised for a competent man to work a planing machine. One of the applicants for the job commended himself as follows:—" I am a widower without children, aged fifty-years, very active } I am as steady and as sober, as honest, and as trustworthy as any man on the face of God's earth I man ' baptised,' and I do not believe in any sect that teach that infant sprinkling is Christian baptism, nor do I believe in the teaching of any sect that teach contrary to phe JJord Jesus Christ our Saviour and God, and the teach ing of the Apostles and John the Baptist as we have it in the New Testament." For references the sawmiller was referred to the ex-Mayor of Sprang/?, situated on the North Pacific coast of Amerioat, and all tt^e leading merchants and others in the city. The miller was not likely to queston the oithodpx of the applicant, #r the sufficiency of his references though they wers in America, but when he added, " £ think that, I nan ruij a boivrd planiug machine and a moulding I machine as well as most men when the knives are fixed jtor me,' 1 it wss considered an admission of weakness, for which even the strength of baptism cpuld nop compen- I sate, and sprnpqna was spught for php work could fix the knives*. *fiiLLQWA\*'s QfNTMENT AND PlI*S. — - , " • '-ha Delioftto,—-Those to whom Counsel for .. . --.« HraCure are pro . seasons of changeable teu. |r .r *wuw T£ VF tracted periods of trial should se*.~ earliest opportunity of removing all obstacles to good health.

f The Mount Morgan Company, Queens-1 land, employed last moath 1,200 men, who | raised 5,800 tons of ore, producing B,oooozß ] of gold. In 1599 ifc was lawful in Hungary that only he who killed a Turk should wear a feather, and for every one slain he was to wear one feather in his cap, Hence the origin of the term, as applied to success or achievements "A feather in his cap."' The Forte, a fine cruiser of 4,360 tons, 9,000 horse-power, and mounting ten guns, will shortly be launched at Chatham. lnolud;ng the whole of her machinery and boileis, the vessel has been entirely con structed in Chatham Dockyard, the Bone being ihe first ship of war every portion o* which has been manufactured at Chatham without recourse to private engineering firms. General Forest, during the American war between North and South was once ap proached by an Arkansas man, who asked, " General, when do you reckin' we're goin' to get something to eat?" " Eat I" exclaimed the General. " Did you join the army merely to get something to eat ?" " Wall, that's about the size oi it." " Here "—call ing an officer—" give this man something to eat and then have him shot." The officer understood the joke, and replied, "All right, General! " Tlie Arkansas man, ex hibiting no alarm, said, "Bile me a ham, cap'n, stew a couple o' chickens, bake two or three hoe cakes, fetch & gallon or bo o' buttermilk, and load your guns. With such inducements, the man what wouldn't be willing to die is a fool!" A hearty meal was prepared for the soldier, but he still lives—at least, so it is said,

SACRED CONCERT.

A sacred concert given on a Sunday evening is a new departure in Ash burton, and when the Palmer-Beaumont Company proposed to give one the question of its success or failure was earnestly, even anxiously, debated by lovers of good music. But short as was the notice given the attendance of the public was such as to set all fears at rest as to its success on the score of popularity. The hall was well filled indeed, and by an audience, who could thoroughly appreciate good i music well rendered. Applause at a sacred conc?rc is not supposed to be altogether the correct thing, but the ; audience of Sunday night were so carried away by the music they heard that they could not resist an outburst at the close of each item. The concerted pieces con sisted of the quartets " God is a Spirit " from "Woman of Samaria/ and "Cast thy burden" from the " Elijah "of Mendels sohn, and the duet "I waited for the Lord" from Mendelssohn's " Hymn of Praise." The accompaniments were a nrst attractive feature in these, as in fact throughout the programme, the organ diviaely plajed by Mr Barker being introduced with grand effect. Both at the organ and the piano, the latter some times played by Mrs Palmer, the accom paniments were a lesson local } layers would do well to note. Never at any time were the voicas obscurei by undue prominence of the instiuraental aid, never was the accompaniment at all leading; the voice, but always carefully attendant thereon, and ever ready to aid but never to usurp the place of the singer. The quartets were well chosen, and their rendering was truly devotional; the time was perfect, and the expression such that cou'.d music ot a similarly seductive character be introduced in every house cf prayer the services of the Church j would be certain to bs alw»ys well \ attended Music rendered as this talented j company can and do render it. can never be hoped for anywhere out of the large cities, bub much might be done in every > Church towards a better and mo*e exten- ■ sive use of the beauties of the great masters. And th^ four voices that rendered those delightful pieces showed that volume does not always lie with numbers, as many a twenty-3trong choir cannot mike themselves felt a tenth part so effectively as can tho-e talented four. Mrs Palmer's solos comprised " With verdure clad," fri<m the "Creation." With this quotation from Haydn's magni ficent creation most, people are familiar, but every phrase of its delightful cadences fell upon the ear with a new meaning and a new beauty. And " Angels ever bright and tair," a legacy of beauty left to us by Handel, is known and loved in every musical household, bu'. its perform ance by Mrs Palmer let in upon the grand invocation a fbod of light Jtfnt revealed possibilities in regard feo it few of her hearers had dreamt of. Miss Maggie Stirling sang "O rest in the Lord," another sweet prayer from the Elijah, and sang It as such a truly devotional melody should be sung. To her also was entrusted Sullivan's "Lost Chord," and one felt as it he coull listen to th_is fair singer for hours and never weary. Mr Armes Beaumont we rather prefer in oratorio, in which he is so thoroughly at home. Tha recitativo "Ye people rend your hearts," introducing the aria "If with all your hearts" from the " Elijah," and another quotation of the Bame class from the " Creation" were the pieces apportioned to him, and welcome numbers they were. Mr A. H. Gee's i ems were Gounod's' Nazare'h "so beautifully yet tell ngly descriptive in vigorous melody of the Saviour's missipn, and Adam's "Holy City.'? There' is something about a sro<i baritone or b.asa voice that always attrncts, and Mr Gee?s haa a manly, masculine m* about it that: never fails fco fetch. And he is an artigt in the true sense of the word. Gounod's " Nazaveih " is a production of ihe great master, who h s so rec >ntly gone to his rest, that but few amateurs care to at tempt. It not only requires careful manipulation for the proper display of its many leauties, b t a voice of more than ordinary power, and an artistic sense of a high order ari indi'ppnsable. All these Mr Gee brought to bear upon the song, and his treatment of the " Holy City " was like un!-o i\ Need we add that the won derfu' flute performances of Mr Lemmone and the harp reci als of Mr Barkei were as entrancing as usual ? Need we say either that in the whole concert the audience enjoyed a treat only too sejdom within th<j reach of the lovers of gopiJ music 1

AN EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR.

FIGHTING IN WEST AFRICA.

{ FRfiJNUIi ATT AUK VIS A BRITISH FORCE.

AN DNFORTUNATE MfSTAKB.

London, January 6. Telegrams from Sierra Leone, Western Africa, published in the London newspapers, state that the French attacked a British camp at Warina before dawn on December 23. The Bdtish replied to the fire, and the fighting lasted for some time, but eventually the French withdrew, their counniander, 1 ieu tenant Moritz, having been wounded. The latter was brought into camp, where he died. Before his death he explained that he thought the British were a body of Sofas, against whom the French are operating, offi cered by Arab leaders. In the fight ten on the French side were killed. The West India regiment (British) had Lieutenants Liston and Broughton, a sergeant and four privates killed and fifteen seriously -wounded. The Frontier Police had Captain Lendy and two men killed and three seriously wounded. The British troops remain at Warina, which is within the British sphere. There were troops on both sides as well as natives. A later telegram states that a British expedition of 600 of the First West India regiment and Frontier police wa« despatched from Sierra Leone 9 undei Colonel Ellis, to relieve Captain Lendy who was encircled by Sofas at Koranko. Twelve hundred French native fcroopa with Cingalese sharp shooters were also operating against the Sofas. The French Government were warned of the des patch of the British expedition, but it was not expected the French expedi tion would be so far as to come into contact with the British. It is thought; the French operations drove the Sofas into the British sphere. The British and French spheres of influence had previously been defined. The English Press is awaiting further explanations. Meanwhile comments are of a temperate character. January 7. The attack by the French on the British camp at Warina was made by bright moonlight, and the French mis took the white suits of the British for the robes of the Arab chiefs. The British expedition was surprised, but doggedly held their ground, regardless of the death of their leaders. Official messages received from Sierra Leone state that in the confusion of the onslaught Captain Lendy of the Frontier police was shot by his own men.

The Dairy Industry.

OPINIONS OF THE NfiWZEA* LAJSD EXPERT.

*>EX PRESS ASSOCIATION. Sydney, Januwy 7. Mr Valentine, the New Zealand dairy expert, left by the T&rawera for Wellington. He has just completed a visit of inspection in Victoria and New South Wales. Mr Valentine con siders that although these colonies possess modern appliances, there yet appears something wanting, and there is great disregard to matters of detail. So far as hia experience goes New Zealand has nothing to fear from com petition with these colonies. With her advantage of climate, New Zealand, he says, must come to the front, but while there is every hope of this, pro ducers must not forget that uniformity ia grading is absolutely imperative. In connection with the fraudulent sale of margarine mixtures as butter, which imposes serious loss on the producers or colonial butter, Mr Valentine sug gests that the several colonies, with then respective Dairy Associations, should federate with a view of bringing pres sure to bear on the Imperial Govern ment to enforce the existing Acts, an.4 if possible construct a new Apt which would have a more repressive eftect qn fraudulent dealers.
