THE ILLICIT STILLS.

Wellington, July 6

In the Magistrate's Court, the cases in which the brothers John, Alien, Charles, and Hugh Cameron, were charged with being owners of an illicit still found at Gollan's galley began to-day. Mr Sker rett raised the objection that the Distil lation Act under which the informations wera laid was not the Act under which the defendant's should have been brought before the Court. The proceedings should have been instituted under the Customs Act. Defendants should, he considered, h3ve been separately charged on each of the five counts. After argument Mr Gully for the Crown decided to proceed at present on only count 2, charging each defendant with unlawfully making spirits. When a portion of the evidence had been heard, che ca^es were further adjourned until Tuesday, .

The Invercargill Licens ing Cases.

Dunedin, July 5

Mr Justice Williams satin Banco to day to hear a motion for a writ of certiorari to remove into the Court an order of the Invercargill Licensing Com mittee by which the application of Frank Hewit for a license in respect of the Union Hotel was refused. Mr Solomon, who appeared in support of the application, said that before the Committee held its first meeting for the disposal of business, they met privately and selected seven hotels to which the licenses were to be refused. At the public meeting the Committee refused to hear evidence or argument/ By select ing the seven houses as they did they practically debarred themselves from the power of exercising discretion. Mr Adams, in opposing the application, contended that there was no reasonable ground for suggesting that the committee liad other than an honest intention to carry out their duty. If it was a mistake in the first instance to grant a_ certain number of licenses without hearing evi dence, that mistake was not fatal and in the seven casea it; was entirely repaired by granting an adjournment and a re hearing. Judgment was reserved.

The Australian's Reck lessness.

The Englishman and the Scotchman, and especially the latter, have much to say in and out of season about the recklessness of the Australian, the ease with which he throws aside work for play, and his general improvidence. Especially against the bush j Australian do they level The accusation that he is, with few exceptions, a periodical drunkard; that he can never earn a cheque j without icching to spend it; and that im providence begins and ends in him. To judge superficially as the old worlders have done, withont any knowledge or appreciation of Australian conditions, all the foregoing charges are true. But treat the subject in telligently and you find that the Australian is just the reverse. All that is wrong with him is dyspepsia at the beginning, and later on aggravated kidney disease. The menu of the bush is unvarying, which is in itself a bad thing, and of poor quality, which is very much worse. Damper to the writer, and such damper as he used to make, is a pub stance constituted mainly of flour, water, bicarbonate of soda if you have it, no bicar bonate of soda if you haven't any, a little salt and a large fire. Six months of such a diet finds the bushman surcharged with bile; his stomach coated with the tannin of the unspeakable tea ; his throat caked with the soot of sheep-wash tobacco; then he gets his cheque and winds up at the shanty. We have oumberleßS instances of bush dyspepsia ; and fever having been completely cured by j a few doses of the Cure. It gently stimu lates the jaded system, and reorganises the disorganised functions. Warner's Safe Cure is the one bush medicine.

"The Honors Three."

In the song " Scotland yet," occur the lines n „ ■, \ " I'll drink a cup to Scotland yet Wi' a' the honors three." ' At a meeting of the Otago Gaelic Society on Wednesday evening; last—at which, by the way, "the Hon John McKenzle was appointed chief, as a man of ■" ability, unblemished reputation, with an unbroken strain of' Highland blood in hia veins, and possessing a knowledge of the Gaelic language—a discussion arose as to what the second of the lines quoted meant. Several explanations were given by different members, but it was left for Dr Stenhouse to give the correct one, and it will to many members of the Ashborton and Canterbury Caledonian Societies be a surprise that so., many Gaelic speaking people ehould have had any other idea about the old custom. Dr Stenhous? explained, in a speech replete with humor and instruction, that there was .no such thing as a recognised set of three honors for Scotland, as might be proved by the varying statements made by previous speakers. Kingdoms had their honorable traits of character and honorable chapters in their history, and Scotland had- more of these than most countries, but the song which was the occasion of these queries had no reference to any euch. They all knew what drinking with "a the honors three" meant, and none could do it more enthusiastically than' Highlanders, The guests, having filled their glasses, stood with one foot on their chairs, the other on the table, knee to knee, breast to breast, and glass to glass, aud with a " Hip, hip, hurrah S" three times, drained their classes and flung the latter to the ground (if the toast were " The King " or other «reat personage), so that no meaner toast could ever be drunk from the same glasses. The song referred to this custom, and nothing more. The various speakers were warmly applauded, and the audience were evidently pleased with' all the efforts made for their enlightenment.

LINSEED.

TO THE EDITOR.

Sir,—The time has now arrived when our farmers must turn their attention to other crops than wheat, if they desire to make a living. 'In this connection it occurs to me that they sh'uld take into consideration the growing of linseed, if not for fibre, for the seed, and the oil it contains. Large sums of money are annually expended in importing^ linseed oil into this country, which could just as well be manufactured here, and the money kept in the colony. By last mail I received from home price lists of.oil' mills, which I shall be happy to show to any farmers who may desire information on the Bubiect; In advocating hnseed growing,''l do not mean that individuals ! should go too extensively into it, so as to injure themselves if a failure resulted, but that those who have suitable land should grow a few acres only, till success or otherwise* of the undertaking is established. If grown for seed only, the cost of sowing and harvesting would be considerably less than if fibre were the object, but the latter would, I have no doubt, pay very handsomely also. .If a. small company were formed wlt", a capitai of say £1500 ah oil mill could be established here, which would result in profit to its shareholders and be a benefit to the country and would in all pro bability be assisted by a bonus from the Government,—lam, etc, CHARLES BPvADDELI..

If Mr Liddy took exception to any of the reasons he should { have mentioned them at the time.

The report was set down for consideration on Thursday.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE. Leave of absence for a week was granted to the Hons Ward and Reeves on account of illness".' SBRGEAOT-AT-ARMS. Mr Seddun moved thab the apppoint ment of tneSergeant-at-Arms be deferred until December 1 next, and that in the meantime Colonel Praser perform any necessary duties usually done by the Sergeant -at - Anna, but without fee or payment of any kind whatsoever, either as salary, fee, or expenses. He pointed out that Colonel Fraset's ap pointment had never been gazstted be cause he was not eligible for position owing t^f the provisions of the Disqualifi cation Act. He would be appointed when j the proper time arrived but it was neces- ] sary to njak«j a -temporary appointment, and that, was what he now asked the He use tv do. ,' • ' Sir Robert Stout strongly objected to J the Disqualification Act being evaded in this manner, and Mr Seddon by his motion was asking the House to take the responsibility from the shoulders of the Ministers on the grounds of morality. He would vote against the motion, Dr Newman said the Premier was ask ing the House to violate every principle of right by voting for this resolution. Major, Steward also spoke. Mr Button agreed with Sir Robert Stout's view of the matter. Mr Bell spoke warmly in condemnation of the action of the Government. Mr Collins yielded to no man in his de sire to uphold the purity of Parliament, but much of what they had heard that afternoon from the opponents of the motion was simply bunkum. Mr Smith (N«w Plymouth) strongly eje fended Colonel Frasar's appointment. ' Mr Smith (Christchurch), opposed the appointment on the ground that it would be a deliberate violation of the Dis qualification Act. Captain Russell was speaking against the motion when the House"? took the 5 30 adjournment. The House resumed at 7.30. Mr Russell continued speaking on Mr Seddon's mocioa respecting the appoint ment of felie iJergeant-at-Arms, and;said chat from first to last Mr. Seddou had attempted to bluff this matter. The appointment bad been his alone, arid that no tfbtibfc ,acc<mttted for the silence of Ins colleagues on ic.  Th? Hon J. McKenzie assured the House that the Cabinet were not divided over this question. His opinion was that the whole agitation over Colonel Fraser's appointment was simply got up as a partj matter, and that Sit Robert Stout was simply being made a catspaw of. (Sir Robert Stout—" No.'') Mr Earnshaw said the conduct of the Government over this matter would go & long way towards breaking up the Liberal party. Mr Crowther thought the contemplated appointment was a desirable one, but Government had gone the wrong way about it. Messrs Hogg and McKeiJzie (Buller), protested against the delay and waste of time that had taken place over this ques tion, for which they blamed Sir Robert Stout. Messrs Lang, Duthie, Allen, PlrarJ, George Hutcheson, Massey, Fraser, and Buchanan, opposed the motion and Messrs Duncan, Morrison, J. W* Kelly, Harris, Graham, and Mclntosh spoke in support of it. In ths course of his reply, the Premier warmly attacked Sir Robert Stout for his attitude over this question, and blamed him for the whole things He held that there was no breach of the Disqualification Act-because there was no appointment made, nor had any salary been appro priated. There was neither trick nor subterfuge in respect of what the Govern ment had done. Ha defended the action of the Government at great length, and said that they did not intend to pay a single penny to Colonel Fiaaer until December next. On a division the motion was carried by 34 to 13. The House rose at 12.35 a.m.
