The Socialists in Bordeaux hooted and displayed a threatening attitude towards M. Ribot, the Premier.

New Australia

Sydney, May 12 A letter received from William Hollingworth, a " New Australian " settler, states that the settlement ob tained a loan of L6OO from the Para guayan Government, which haa been swallowed up, and this will just about finish "New Australia," as all the crops have entirely failed, and there is no chance of making it go. Lane's settlement, he says, has no money, and the settlers are living entirely on beans. All the women are sick. The letter warns others from going there. Sydney. May 13 Eight " New Australians," accom panied by fifteen children, returned by the ship Nutredale. Newcastle, May 14

Several returned " new Australians " have reached here in an entirely desti tute condition, funds being iaised to send them to their homes. They con firm the statements that the settlement is in a very bad state, and settlers are suffering great hardships. They com plain they could not get any refund of money paid to the Association to assist them in their return.

N.S.W. POLITICS.

Sydney, May 12 The Government are very confident of victory, and the general opinion is that the protectionists will greatly damage their cause by joining Sir Henry Farkes. Mr Reid said their action plays right into the hands of the Government, and he is grieved to see Sir Henry Farkes so basely betray his principles, and his opponents abandon their cause to such a shifty leader. Negotiations, which have every like lihood of proving successful, are pro ceeding for re-uniting the two sections of the Labour party. Sydney, May 13

The Sydney Morning Herald says either an alliance or a coalition by Sir Henry Farkes with the Protectionists for intercepting and thwarting the resolutions in favor of freetrade, would be an act of flagrant political im morality, recognised from one end of the iountry to the other. If done in the name of federation, the profession would be a palpable pretence. Federa tion would no more be served by an alliance between its bitter enemies and professed friends than freetrade can be served by freetrade joining with protection. Federation would be of little worth if purchased by the destruction of political honesty and the confidence of the country in the good faith of its public men.

The Telegraph says that if Sir Benry Parkes gains office as the result of a conspiracy, he may delude his own conscience as he pleases, but the naked reality remains that he will be the creature of protection, which his mis sion has heretofore been to kill. If freetrade is to be again assassinated the assassins will have to face the country redbanded. London. May 13 The Times considers Mr Reid's re forms valuable, especially in the Civil Service. His attempt at a permanent free trade tariff is startling in its com pleteness, and, if carried out, the tariff will be more liberal than Great Bri tain's. The cordial sympathy of Eng lish freetraders may be considered Assured,

FEDERATION

Sydney, May 13 Sir Henry Parkes, in the course of an interview, said he had for a long time indicated that the time had come for breaking up old parties and forming an entirely new one devoted to federa tion. He made. it no secret that he would not give or ask support from anyone not prepared to make the question of united Australia the first question of a great national policy. He bad taken his stand on the broad platform of a new national policy under the name and manner of progressive federalists, and he would accept the support of any man or company pre pared to build up the Australian na tion. He would not surrender an inch of ground as an advocate of commercial freedom, but to waste valuable time tinkering with the tariff* was nothing short of suicide. ! May 14. Speaking at a lecture on federation the Premier said that at the conference of Premiers he announced he could not place federation in the forefront of his programme because he had given a distinct pledge to deal with other pressing matters. When these are disposed of it was fully intended to tackle federation.

MORE GOLD.

Perth, May 13

Piskth, May 14

A splendid battery of stone has been struck in the Londonderry mine at one hundred feet level. It is rumored that the famous shoot first struck has been picked up. Shares have risen, and large sales have taken place. The stone, though good, is not of sensa tional value.

Great Britain's Defences

J Daily Chronicle We talk wit I) a certain easy cant of the virtu, sof arbitration. What step are we taking in that direction 1 None whatever. European statesmen wait for us as the Power which is supposed to be pre-eminently industrial and anti-warlike. We, in our turn, wait for European statesmen. In the J meantime Italy struggles with bank ! ruptcy, induced purely by her military I and naval responsibilities. Russia and Germany are crushed by militarism. France exists mainly for the sake of her army, while as a naval Power she is in close and constant competition with ourselves. That is the spectacle of Christian Europe nearly nineteen hundred years after the birth of the j Prince of Peace. As for our own position, it is perhaps more assailable in regard to the Army than in relation to the Navy. A strong Navy is no doubt with us a defensive force. We covet no man's territory, and our ironclads and cruisers and torpedo-boat de stroyers have, in the eyes of sensible statesmen, no other object than the protection of our trade and the securing of our food supplies. In that view the idea of a strong Navy is a national policy. We should not, however, require so stroner a Navy if we abandoned the Mediterranean, as some experts think we ought to do. But what are we to say of outlay on an army which feebly imitates the Conti nental system without securing its efficiency and its workmanlike quality ? Our army costs us as much as the giant levies of Prance or Germany, and what do we get for it 1 According to the Times, we could just succeed in placing a single army corps in the field, as against the thirty army corps of France or Germany. Sir Frederick FitzWygram, a Conservative member and a cavalry officer ef distinction, declares that the great bulk of the cavalry regiments are hopelessly inefficient — mere skeleton bodies, useless without a complete plan of reorganisation. We doubt whether a single soldier of any experience or distinction would in the main traverse these statements. But why are they so freely made, and why is every important recommendation made by the Harrington Commission disre garded ? There is one answer to this question. It is because Mr Campbell- Bannerman permits an incompetent and obstructive old gentleman to re main at the head of the British Army for no other reason than that he is connected by blood with the Royal Family. The Duke of Cambridge is, as everybody knows, not a soldier at all in the modern sense of the word, Lord Wolseley or Lord Roberts or Sir Evelyn Wood or feir Redvers Buller would not for a moment, regard him as competent to direct the operations of the British Army provided we are engaged in a serious conflict with a military Power. The cost of main taining a largely inefficient force, is admittedly swollen by the overloading of the Army list with generals, and by the way in which the Commander-in- Chief distributes his patronage. We do not know whether the Queen con siders that her personal interests are served by the way in which the royal command of the Army is nominally maintained at the expense of its effi ciency. If so, the comments of Con servative journals and of Conservative military men in the House of Com mons ought to have opened her eyes to the truth. As for the inward ness of the entire military ques tion, it is doubtful whether we want an army, in the European sense, at all. Ireland ought, if our statemen would only consent to pro claim a truce with Irish nationalism, to be relieved of its army to-morrow; England, Wales, and Scotland ought not to require one at all. The lesson of the Chino-Tapanese war is surely that security from invasion depends on our command of the sea, and that if that is lost land forces and land de fences are of little avail. We agree that the command ought not to be abandoned, and that a sea-Power may be prepared to make great sacrifics in order to maintain it. But is it worth asking what proportion of the cost of the war forces of the empire is due to retention in Egypt, and how much we can save by a withdrawal which, ac cording to Lord Charles Beresford and other authorities, we shall be com pelled to effect in the time of war. In a word we are drifting, and perilously drifting.

CLARKE'S CARBOLIZED Wheat Protector HAS BEEN USED FIFTY YEARS WITH UNDEVIATING SUCCESS. IT has been amply proved by the Testi monials of thousands of the First Practical Agriculturists in England, as well as by dozens of farmers in the Ash burton District, that this preparation materially assists the germination of the seed, causing the young plant to come up much sooner, and erow more vigorously, protects it to maturity from the ravages of the Slug, Grub, and Wireworm, adds firmness to the straw to support the ear. Seed dressed with this preparation may remain for any length of Hrae without sustaining injury, and invariably PRODUCES WHEAT PERFECTLY FREE FROM SMUT, And of greater value than that grown from seed dressed with other preparations.
