Trade With British Columbia.

[iPBB PBKSB ASSOCIATION]

Dunedin, January 29, Ab the quarterly meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, the President (Mr A. 0. Begg) gave an address on what he had observed during hia travels in America and Great Britain. He referred at length to the Vancouver service. The San Francisco service, ho said, had never been a pronounced success, being simply a passenger and mail service, which had never received mater.al &id from the United States. He had no doubt if they had the Vancouver service in place of it, the whole of the colonies would be much more benefited. The Caadian Govern ment and Pacific Railway Company were both doing their utmost for the service, and he had no dount it could ba made quicker than the San Francisco route. Then there would be an interested population, helping by subsidies and encoiua fe int? trade. Many were not aware of the important position 1 o' Vancouver, situated on an immense inland sea, on the shores of which were the termini of two transcontinental railways The City of Tacoma had *p-uns» from a mere village to a city of 70,000 inhabitant* and was growing at the rate of 20,000 yearly. Ihere was another large city ac Puget Sound, forty miles from Tacoma, with 80,000 ir habitant*. There w«s also th« town of Victoria, with about 30,000 inhabitants, and New Weefcminisfcer, all rising rapidly. On the shores of Puget Sound there was thus a groun of cities which had been peo pled by 200,000 inhabitants in twelve or fourteen years. The trade of the district was growing and would grow, especially as there were coal deposits at Pugefc Sound. He thought the colony shoald, therefore, support the service. Dealing with electric tramways he said he had travelled on them and made enquiries in a large ; number of cities where the overhead j system was in operation, and found that they gave general satisfaction, and did not interfere with telepone or other interests, He had also something to say about Chambers of Commerce. In the United Kingdom there was one rule which he thought would be attended with great advantage in the colony if followed, and that was the holding of annual conferences of delegates from the various Chambers.

Wellington, January 29. The match was resumed at 10,40. The remainder of tne Wellington team were quickly disposed of, and the innings closed at 380, when the Sydney men went in again, and gave a fine exhibition of j batting. Searle rapidly put together 25, and then McKenzie and Moore stayed till 80 more had been scored. The format, as in the first innings, was missed early, bub he played with great patience at the start and after lunch scored rapidly. He was caught oft" Uplum for 58. Moore and Gould continued run getting, but at 40 the former was b*dly missed by Wyn yard. Gould was nol bowled off his pads till he made 33. Moore and Miller stayed in till 181 were registered, when the innings was closed, Moor* having made 57 by stylish batting combined with m excellent defence. This left Welling ton 211 to get in two hours and nve minutes. Gore and Cross made a fine stand, putting up 44 in half an hour, and then rain, which had been threatening, came down in earnest, and the game was abandoned — Cross uot out 28 Gore not out 8; extras 8.

AN INDICTMENT OF CHURCHIANITY.

[The following has been written by a valued con tributor of the Federal Association of Journalists. While disagreeing, of course, with the deductions of the writer, we publish it for its fine savagery and absolute earnestness.] Christ and the Eternal Sympathy—the ineffable tenderness—the Church and—the maxim gun—That is how and why Christ, if he walked the earth to-day, would cast off the Church with loathing. The Matabeles have a country where there is gold. And this gold was wanted by English shopkeepers and speculators. Wherefore the Maxim gun was sent to blow Lobengula and his impis into space,, and the English churches prayed for the success of the British arms, and, consequently, for the satisfactory working of this wonderful gun, and the resultant slaughter of independent barbarians who fought to save their land from the clutch of the English burglars. The Bishop of Derry prayed fervently that England might come out on top, and the English speculators, now that Lobengula is a prisoner, are preying even more fervently than the Church dignitary, who receives an amount something like the salaries of threo crime ministers. Other nations prey but they do .iot pray it the same time — they do not ask the >!essing of Heaven on their robberies and :heir murders as does that supreme humbug, the Britisher. The record of English colonisation and conquest is a record of first robbery, then murder to cover up the robbery, and lastly a church service con ducted by two bishops and a canon, to hide both robbery and murder. Everywhere and at everytime the record has been similar. In the South Seas the missionary was the petrel heralding the arrival of the brutal, swindling trader—the man of peace was the pilot of the man-o-war —the parson and the filcher of new lands were so close together that they might have been a Siamese twin—a dual man with three hands, whereof one held a bayonet, and one a bottle of rum, and the third a bundle ot tracts. Say the natives of the Gilberts — "One moon God-man come — next moon come big gun." Consistent in their hypocrisy are the English. Children starve in the gutters—the cities reek with vice—the few monopolists steal brazenly the birthrights, the opportunities, and the food and drink of the many—Christ if he sees all these horrors dies daily a more poignant death than ever the Cross could cause—the Church meanwhile draws, some of it, £2000 a year and some of it less, and is deeply interested in a controversy as to the origin of its institution. There are ten tons of villany and oppression to every square inch of the earth's surface —but the Church like one of its own well-fed bishops, dodders through life, seeing not, hearing not feeling rWt, caring not. This Church—it is a boy playing with matches over a powder magazine. , Men must not go to church—the Church must come to them, and it doesn't. The Church is for the few—it is the sanctuary of vested interests—the cloak for the building society thief and the bank embezzler—fits the stirring of one genuine emotion—it is powerless because it is respectable—its respectability and its money {which by the way are the same thing) have dulled it as with rust—its members and its officers went gaily throuph the boom time, making all they could, and when the crash came they called for a day of humiliation and prayed with disgusting abasement to the God whom they had so flouted—prayed that the awful disclosures might not include them. And just because the Church i ; ; not a democratic institution nor an honest onc«— just because the Church of to-day docs not attract the mass—the Church as at present constituted most jjo, We will show you two pictures. Here is a carriage passing us. It is drawn by two well-fed, well-bred horses—in it is seated a portly, pork-fed looking man, clean-shaven but for a ring of white hair down bis cheeks and under his chin. He is dressed In black —he has a shovel hat—his vest does not button in front, but at the side like the ladies dresses of late Parisian fashions. That is the Bishop of Derry. A care-worn, thin, middle-aged man walks in the dust thrown up by Derry's carriage wheels. This man is very poorly dressed, he has shockingly bad boots, and if he were only travelling on a salt-bush plain, instead of an English road, you would say " He is a swagman." And he is a " Swagman "— he is the Divine Sunuovvner. The people of the Church you must understand are dual voters to a man—the Nazarene not being of a thrifty disposition would never have a vote if they could help it. The Prince of Peace in the dust.looks at the Prince of the Church in the carriage, and having seen the Bishop's magnificence, the swagman weeps. For the swagman knows,.that so far, as concerns these who fatfen on the monopoly of starvation, the beautiful tragedy of Calvary, 1900 years ago, has been all in vain.

The Natives and the State Farm.

[PEJi PI! ESS ASSOCIATION] V\ kuington, Jai uiry 29, A number of natives arrived this nfter noon, and infer viewed the Government in reference t© the State farm. Inspector Fender also returned, Mid reports that everything is quiet. Hu Jeft two con stables at Levin in case their services should be required. The Levin natives who interviewed the Premier last night pointed out that the land in question was the only lai d Lhey have, hiia as they were in indigent. clrcunistanctß 'hey looked to Govern ment to make the fullest inquiry into the title. Mr Edwards, count-el for the natives, said there was no doubt the block was tribal land, and ought to be held for about 130 others who reside on it. There was he contended, no doubt the [Native Land Court made a mistake in ths first instance, and the records of court would show that in a great number of these sub divisions a trust was intended to be created. The Premier said the- title was absolutely in the hands of Kemp and > Huina, whom he suggested the natives should interview, and if these two owners were willing to concede anything by way of gift, Government, if possible, would also help ihe natives. He warned the natives against lawlessness, and Ulti mately promised to send an expert to inspect the land with a view to report ing as to whether the natives have been iafrJy dealt with by Huina.

The Victorian Department of Agriculture is now about to take an important step in oommencing the shipment of fresh pork to England. The meat will be sent in the frozen Et&te in carcase, and arrangements have already been made wifh the steam boat companies for forwarding ii. The same department has also arranged to forward the first shipment of cheese early next month. The late Henry de Miile, who collaborated with David Belasco in a number of plays, used to tell this story:—"l once had an oppor tunity, in a play Dave and I had written, to make use of the third verse of Psalm xciv : "Lord, how lotsgshall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?" The actor who had this to speak came to me at rehearsal one day and objected to the line which he said he considered vsry weak. He concluded his objections by asking me if I was "stuck "on the line. I said I rather liked the line, but had no personel interest in it, as in this instance I was only an adapter, the line being David's. " David's eh " exclaimed the actor. "That's just what I thought.

It is gratifying to learn that the report that Dr Nansen's expeJition had come to grief in the Kara Sea, or before reaching there, does not appear to have any founda tion in fact. Information which is published in the December number of the "Geogra phical Journal " is conclusive as to the Kara Sea being open at the time when Dr Nansen's expedition entered ; nor does there seem now to be the least doubt that he, in his stout vessel with his equally stout heart, has plunged literally into the circumsolar ige, by whiofy he hopes to be carried right across, or at least very near to, that mystery the North Pole. The Information comes from a gentleman who accompanied a small fleet of vessels which conveyed last summer » quantity of railway iron for the Siberian railway up the river Yenisei, this being the first time that cargo has been carried by sea into the heart of Siberia, for the vessels iM?tiially proceeded IpGQ milea m tft<? fjvey,

M. Company, 31 Bedford Streef North Melbourne. Having just: returned from the World's Fair at Chicago, and the Eoyal Agricultural Society's Show of England, where I saw most of . the Reapers and Binders known to Science, and having visited some of the largest Harvesting Machinery Manufactories in America, we • have arrived at the conclusion that the WALTER A. WOOD SINGLE APRON REAPER AND BINDER will best fill the requirements of our farm. We have sesn and felt the evil and ex pense cf running different makes of machines, and we are determined I in future to stick to one st}le and make, and to carry out these views we are selling our present Binders (having three different -? makes); and have bought eight of WALTER A. WOOD'S SINGLE APRON MACHINES for use on our farm. (Signed) R. M. SMITH, Manager WALTER A. WOOD. TUBULAR STEEL MOWER; HAT RAKE. To Our Farmer Friends.
