SMOKING ON THE STATION PLAT FORM.

TO THE EDITOR.

Sib, —When the new notice boards prohibiting smoking were suspended in the railway station, the smokers of Ashburton were on their good behaviour for ziearly a week. But the old objectionable pract'ce is again beginning to assnme its former dimensions, and the station, especially on the arrival of the southern express, i« rendered well nigh unbearable to ladies and gentlemen who do not smoke. If the railway officials will not kindly but firmly enforce the law, then I shall subscribe five shillings towards & fund for providing spitoons, so that the present frightful practice of strewing the platform with "oysters " may be ended —I am, etc., .Non-Smoker.

THE BURSTING-UP GOVERNMENT.

TO THB EDITOR

Sic, —With your permission I would like space to say a few words in reply to John Bull's letter ot May 23 J.B. says the policy of the present Government, or regime, as he terms it, suits W.H.W. and not himself. Well, I suppose it will be useless for me to try to convert, htm. I again deny the Government's policy is one of demolition. No. It is true democratic. No doubt J.B. would like a Government composed of such men as himself ; bat he may console himself With the fact that that day is gone never to return. J.B. says I offered no proof that the world—does he mean the people ?—hau never benefited by private enterprise. I say no. The masses of the people never have; henco so much poverty, degradation, and crime. I am aware that this power still monopolises the great industries, but there is no reason why those could not be oarned out by State co-operation. As to the people becoming degenerate, I say it is impossib'e for the masses to go lower down than they •re. I maintain we have been too long running on the narrow lines of individualism •ud private enterprise, and mast in future run on the broad lines of nationalism. I consider it the duty of the Government to so legislate as to secure universal peace, con tentment, and brotherhood, including sister hood, and that under a true democracy we should have no classes, only a happy people. J.B. thinks it wrong for the Government to interfere with individual enterprise unless it is opposed to the well-being of the people. Now, I think I have shown quite clearly that all private enterprise is opposed to the well being of the masses. J.B. says, to back up his opinion on this point, "Iquote a few words from the writings of J. S. Mill." Now we all know J. S. Mill wrote in the interest of the privileged classes, and not that of the toiling masses. But J. S, Mill admits the monopoly of land is wrong, for he says if the laborer had possession of the land he would soon be independent of the employer, and that wages would be sure to rise. Now, sir, in conclusion, I again say give the Government time and they will break down the present monopolies, and yet do no injury to any man ; and I can assure J.B. I will never cease till justice is done. I do not know what he means by swallowing "Looking Backwards." Of course I have read the book, also " Progress and Poverty," and "Merrie England,"—l am, etc , W. .H. Whiting, Newlands. May 31, 1895. *1 should like to substitute " The Building up Government."

MIDLAND RAILWAY.

London, June 2

The Financial Times states that the Midland Raiiway Board has been advised that the seizure of the line by the Government is illegal, and is likely to injure the company's credit.

FIRE FIENDS.

New York, June 2

The leader of the Secret Society of "Firebugs" in New York has been arrested. He confessed they had for many years been banded together for the purpose of firing buildings to ob tain the insurances, and that the profits during the present year already amounted to forty thousand dollars. The society included some of the ad justers on behalf of insurance com-

panics.

Mount Lyell Company

London, June 2

The Stock Exchange is indignant at the withdrawal of the Mount Lyeli Company's debentures after they had been underwritten. The brokers have decided not to deal in the Company's shares in consequence. The London Banks have informed the Australian offices that the debentures were hypo thecated in anticipation by the under writers. Litigation will probably ensue over the matter.

The Directors of the Mount Lyell Mine state that the negotiations for the sale of debentures through a Lon don syndicate were finally closed before thfc debentures were offered for issue in Melbourne, and that they were closed because the London syndicate demanded unsatisfactory terms, and the debentures were not in any way hypothecated.

The New South Wales Governorship.

London, June 2

Mr Heaton, M.P., in a letter to the Times, draws attention to the fact that at present there is only one Governor in Australia, and that Itis colleagues have either resigned, are dead, or absent. New South Wales, therefore, he considers, is justified in being in dignant at the delay in appointing a Governor to that colony, and the present position is calculated to assist the chances of the common sense de mand for one Governor for the entiie continent.

Explosion of Nitro- Glycerine.

Washington, June 2

A boat laden with nitro-glycerine exploded on the Ohio river at Parker burg, West Virginia, The crew, num bering twenty, were all killed, and two girls on shore were injured. Over 100 steamers w ere more or less shattered, and houses for a mile round were wrecked.

jl To morrow evening an interesting lee ■ t re will be delivered in the Oddfellows' I Ha.ll by the Rev William Scorgie. Aparf jfr rm ihe well known eloquence of the \ lecmrer, the subject is one that ought to ibe powerfully attractive. Bat a short dme ago we had a volcanic eruption in <he North Island, by which the Piuk and White Terraces, beauty spots of the colony, were destroyed and all the sur rounding district laid waste by Tarawera's upheaval. The sight was terrible*, but its grandeur was also beyond description. Sevpnteen centuries ago the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum were laid waste by a similar upheaval of Mount Vesuvius, and readers of Pliny at.d Bulwer Lytton have been made familiar with the incidents of that terrible time. Since then the cities have been excavated, and to-d*y the mi-chief then done his been laid bare to the view of modern eyes. The photograph enables us, living 16,000 miles away from the scene, to see the remains of these buried cities, and the stereopticon I p'fic-s upon the screen the scenes which i only the traveller can see in actual vslon. Mr Scorgie has travelled over the theatre of tha* terrible period in Roman history, and will vividly describe what he puts before his audience in pictorial form. His lecture ought to be well worth listening to, and ia commended to the public of Ashburton as an entertain.nent not en joyed every day.

European and Other Foreign Items

London, June 2

The Newfoundland Government has arranged to float a half-a-rniliion & per cent loan in London, with a minimum of 94.

At a meeting of Edinburgh deposi tors in the Standard Bank of Australia Mr Langton presided. It was decided to accept a reduction in the rate of interest to 2^ per cent, the balance to be secured by deposit receipts payable in 1903. A meeting of all the Scotch depositors will shortly be held to con sider the question.

London, June 3

In the House of Commons, Sir Charles Dilke moved to reduce the vote for the administration of Uganda. At the same time he censured the action of the Government in despatch ing an expedition to Unyoro, as that territory was useless. Sir E. Grey, Under-Secretary for the Foreign Office, in reply, said that the Imperial Go vernment could not avoid despatching an expedition against Kabarega, King of Unyoro, as he had raided Uganda, broken the terms of truce, and en slaved 20,000 natives. The motion was rejected by a majority of fifty two.

The P. and O. Company's annual report states that the Australian ex port trade is improving, but the home ward traffic is less productive, Two more steamers are being built superior to the Caldonia.

The Sultan has apologised for the attack on the Consuls at Jeddah, and promised to order an inquiry.

The Times considers it difficult to believe in the reality of the federation movement in Australia. Victoria is virtually the only colony dealing with the question in a practical spirit. If the colonies were federated it would be easy to find a Governor to occupy the dignified position that would then be created, whereas the reductions in the salaries at present enhance the diffi culties, owing to the curtailment of the dignity of the office and the necessity of incurring a heavy personal expendi ture.

The Brazilian Government asserts the French violated the treaty by crossing the Guiana frontier, nvd demands immediate payment of an indemnity'for the Brazilians killed in the recent encounter alleged by the French to have been with bandits.

Mr Hogan has given notice to move for an annual grant of £3000 to reim burse the expenses of colonial Judges.

Capetown, June 2

The Government proposes to spend a million sterling in the construction of railways to connect outlying districts.

Paris, June 2

M. Hanotaux, Minister for Foreign Affairs, replying to criticism on the action of the Government, said it had accepted the invitation to take part in the opening of the Kiel Canal out of politeness only. He further added that the interests of France and Russia regarding China were identical.

St Petersburg, Junß 2

Reports from Odessa state that Russia has concluded a highly favor able reciprocal treaty with Persia.

Rome, June 2

Italian officers publicly decorated the fisherman who took a prominent part in rescuing the Oroya's passengers when she went ashore near Naples.

THE BROKEN HILL MINES.

Sydney, June 3

The market for silver stocks ia again very active. Large sales have been effected^ and there is an advance all round. Central Broken Hill have risen ss, and the tone at closing to-day was strong.

Melbourne, June 3

The Directors of the Central Mine at Broken Hill have examined the workings, and are highly impressed with the promising character of the development in the 400 ft level, The bulk of the assays for several days' past have averaged 570z of silver to the ton. Tt is imposible at present to compute the quantity of stone in sight. In view of these developments it is be lieved that the shareholders will not finally confirm the proposal to sell.

Sydney, June 4

Experts are of opinion that the caoline development in the Central mine eclipses anything yet discovered there. The characteristics are similar to the find in block 10, some years I ago, and it is thought to be a continu-' ation of that lode.

Adelaide, June 4

Shareholders in the Central mine, iv view of the new discovery, are call ing a meeting to arrange to prevent the sale of the property.
