The Government Proposals.

The following is that portion of the Premier's speech ab Chriatcharoh dealing with the proposals of the Government : — It was the intention of the Government to establish workmen's villages near the cities. (Cheers.) At present they could dot take land within five miles of a town, and this law must be altered m order ( u> allow of land being compulsorily taken near the centres, ana thus keep the woi Ic ing men m their midst, instead of cheir having to go away looking for w>rk. The present system of ballot for land muni be altered, as many of the applications were now dnpl cated, and th s must be changed so as to give hona fide men a fair chance. (Cheers.) He did not think the Land Purchase Board had done all it could to get land, it and had nob offered suffi oient money for some of the properties. This must be altered, and a better system of acquiring land adopted. He quoted veturnß of the amount of boy and girl labour employed m factories to »how that it was neceßSary. to introduce rhe Masters and Apprentices Act, The num ber of boys at work m the colony and receiving no pay was 59, whilst there wore 35 only getting 2s 6d a week, there were 691 girls working without pay, and 173 receiving 2s 6*d per vraek» In Christ, churoh there werß 13 boys working with out pay, 3 were getting under 2s 6d per week, and 110 girls were receiving noth ing for their labour, and 31 were receiv ing ander 2s 63 per week. He referred to the practice of proprietors of millinery and dressmaking establishments getting girls to work for twelve months without pay, with ■ promises of pay after that period. When that time* expired, how ever, tbe girls were sent home on various pretexts, and others taken on ip their places without pay. He claimed that the profits of these businesses were quite .sufficient to allow of fair wages being paid and the people must be saved from tho selfishness of employers by the passing of theMaaterßand Apprentices BUI. (Cheers.) Hundreds ' of boys who were turned out now were never taugbt their trades, and

I these came into competition with journey [ men, and thus wages were brought down. The only remedy was to regulate the num ber of apprentices to the number of journeymen, and this could only be done by passing the Bill. The Government bad been reviled for establishing the Labour

Bureau, by which employment had been found for 14,963 persona, with 35,624 dependent on them, making a total of 60,687 persons actually assisted — (cheers)— and he was only sorry they had not been able to do more. The unemployed must be looked after, hut local bodies must not be allowed to shirk their responsibili ties m the matter— (cheers)— neither must' the Government negleob the saored duty thrown upon it. He referred to the trouble which had recently arisen m water race matters m North Canterbury, and contended that legislation must) be passed co prevent men being robbed of their just earnings and the storekeeper of his due. this kind of thing he declared, was a dis grace to the colony. (Cheers.) Legis lation must also be introduced to prevent the possibility of vessels going to sea as floating coffins, as was found to be the case quite lately m Melbourne. (Cheers.) The time had arrived m New Zealand when they must abolish the opeoial jury jury system— (applause J — and when they must fight the fire insurance monopoly. (Applause.) He had had returns from Switzerland and from the beat experts, and believed that they conld pass a measure which would be acceptable to the large cities and ac the same time protect I the oottager who could nob pay the high j rate?. It was said thab the power of the monopoly was so great that it would domi- n ate the .New Zealand Parliament They would see. (Applause). He wohld now refer to a vary important; but very difficult subject. They had come to the Conclusion that they would bring down m its initia tory stages an old-age ptmion scheme. (Applause,) He hoped thac when they looked about for funds to carry the scheme out, the tquatters who had had £100,000 worth of assistance from the colony, would help the people of the colony to maintain their aged men and women. (Applause) As to the referendum — (applause)— which they practically already had m regard to the liquor traffic — there were many ques tions on which the direct vote of th ■ people should be taken. There were those im portant matters rejected time after time by th,e Legislative Council — (applause) — such as the rating on unimproved values (applause) — and the proposal to raise the age of consent. (Applause.) In regard to the liquor traffic, he had not altered his ! opinion.* The clubs should be brought under the same control 'as hotels; and whab harm could there be m submitting i the question ef national option to the vote of the people? (ipplause-) '

THE GLOUCESTERSHIRE MATCH.

- ' London, Jane 4 Jones, McKibbin, and Johns stood out of the, Australian team m the match against Gloucestershire.

The weather was showery, and caused a stoppage of the play at intervals during- the day. In the first innings of Gloucester, TramVe took five wiokets for 46, Giflfen four for 42, Eady one for 20. In their first innings the Australian! hay« lost one wicket for 80. Donnan, not out, 26, Darling, not out, 35. Grace and Sewell added 47 runs m 35 minutes, but the rpst of the team gave a feeble display, and the laab seven wiokets only added 40 runs. Trumble, who bowled throughout the inningi, Bhowed splendid form. Donnan and Darling batted freely, and knocked up 72 runs m seventy minutes, although both were missed. The bowling of the Home team was erratic and the fielding faulty. Mr Musgrove is negotiating with a French syndicate as to the teims for one match to be played againat a Frenoh team m Paris. He has also received an offer by cable from the New Zealand Cricket Council fora team to play a few -matches m New Zealand on the return home. He has asked the Aus tralian Cricket Council to consent, to the arrangement when dates are fixed. Jones has been offered high terms to qualify to play for Sussex, and will probably accept. London, June 5 The mntch was continued to-day* m fine weather, but the wicket was heavy after receafc rains. The atUntUnoe wew only moderate. The Australians so far have lost 3 wiokets for 209. Giflfen (the third wioktt) 25, Dotman, not out, 76 ; Gregory, notouty9B, .

The J.G. Ward Farmers Association.

• ffesterday, m chambers at Dunedin, the official liquidators of the Colonial Bank ap pied for the approval of the Court of an agreement between themselves and Messrs Lee Smith and J B. Reid for the sale to and purchase by the latter of certain debts due to the bank and securities for the same for the sum of £67,750, of which £62.000 was to be paid by the purchase's In cash, the ba'ance representing a ship ment of oats (£6000) to Brooks and Co of London. The d»hts In question are those of the Ward Farmers Aseocia'i<>n, who are indebted ro the Colonial B nk m the sum of £168.000, so that under the terms of the propped s*le the liquidators stand to lose £101,000. It transpired that Mr J. G. Ward had tjlven the Colo nial Bank a promissory note for £55.150, and signed a guarantee bond for £20,000 more, which the liquidators state he is not m a position to pay, and they believe it would be beneficial to the bank thst Messrs Smith and Reid's offer be accepted. Mr Ward stated that he was responsible to the Bank for £96,000 and that the valuation of his property was £4 600, so that-, at present he was absolutely In solvent. He also made an explanation of a personal character m reference to the banking Ujgielatioa. He said that no far as his personal affairs were concerned, he did not ask for consideration from either of the two banks, and a«i this matter was of Importance to himself, he should like to mention that he had sent a letter to the direobors of the Bank of New Zea'and, to the president, and to the late general, manager of the Colonial Bank, asking for replies to certain queries which he propounded. It had been insinuated that he was oonnlving with men on both sides In this matter. His troubles had been great enough as they were, and he should like to say that these statements were absolutely unfounded. Mr Watson, president of the bank, In reply wrote :— J. So far as I know you were not at the time of the banking legislation consulted as to the terms of the agreement) which afterwards took place between the two banks, nor were y « consulted on point at any subse quent time j2. I»m net aware that you made any representations to have any account m which you were interested plaoed m any partloalar list ; 3. You were not advised by me, or so far as 1 know by anyone else, as to where or how It was Intended to deal with any account what soever ; 4. v I am not aware that you or any other member of the Government were cognisant of the position m which any account was placed whe*h taken over.' The Directors of the Bank of New Zea land/wrote, conouiring m Mr Watson'a reply. ~ Mr H. MaoKenzle's reply was to like effect as Mr Watson's. A. quantity 'of evidence was taken and Mr Young, who appears for Mr O. Fraser, of Wellington, addressing the Court cited authorities on whioh be sbonld rely m contending that there were surrounding circumstances whioh would justify the Judge In with holding his sanction to the scheme whioh there could be no doubt waß an attempt at a compromise. The Court rose till next day.

A CLEAN CUT INDIVIDUAL OPINION, BOLDLY EXPRESSED

It is for this reason that an assertion like the following sticks up above the dead level of our stupid talk, and becomes noticeable : * When I saw how pale I had grown, I said to myself, it was because something had gone out of my blood.'

There ! that is a statement with the seeds of an idea m it. Suppose we follow it up by quoting the reat of the letter which contains It.

In December, 1890, says the writer, • I foil into a poor state of health. I was tired, languid, and weary without any apparent; cause. My appetite left me, and all food, ever the lightest and simplest kinds, caused me great pain m the chest and stomach. When I saw how 1 pals I had grown I said to myself it was because something had gone oub of my blood.

'Then my sleep was broken, and night after night I scarcely closed my eyes. It wasn't log before I became so weak and dejected that I took no interest m things around me. I waBBO nervous that common soundsannoyed and worried me; even the noises ir.ade by my own children m their t&lk an d at their 'There was a disgusting taste m my mouth; it made me siok, and often gave me a shiver ing sensation all over. When I saw others eating and enjoying their meals I felt as thongh it were a strange thing ; m a way I wondered how they could do it. For myself I could eat hardly anything. Food went against me, and I turned away from it, as one turns away from smells or sights that are offensive. And yet I knew, what everyone knows that without sufficient food the body languishes and weakens. And such was the case with me as Itoonth after month went by. * During all this time, so full of pain and discouragement. I was attended by a doctor who did what he could to relieve me, bat without suocess. Ido not Bay- he did not understand my complaint ; for may he not have understood it without having the means of curing ib. . The answer to the lady's question is : Yes easily enough. All intelligent, studious dootors • understand ' consumption, cholera, cancer, etc., without (as yet) having the means of curing them. There is usually a wide gap between the discovery of a want and the way to supply it. ' I will now, 1 continues the letter ' tell you how I came to be cured. In April, 1891, I read m a small book or pamphlet about Mother Seigel's Syrup. The book said the Syrup was a certain remedy for all diseases of the stomach, indigestion m every form, and dyspepsia j and it also said that moat of the complaintß we suffer from are caused by that. On looking over the symptoms deß* oribed m the book, and comparing them with my own, I saw plainly that my ailment was dyspepsia, ' We sent immediately for a bottle of this medicine, and after taking it a few days I began to feel better. In a very short time, by keeping on with the Syrup- according to the directions, I could eat without pain or distress, and digest) my food. I also slept ' soundly and naturally. Then my strength came baok and with it the oolor to my face. In short, after a few weeks use of Mother Seigel's Syrup, I was hearty and strong as ever. And I should be indeed ungrateful if I were not willing that othera should have the benefit of my experience. You are therefore free to print my letter if you think it will bo useful. (Signed) (Mrs) M. Truran, Marton, Lincoln, April 24, 1895.' I simply desire to say to Mrs Truran that her idea about the blood is a pet f eotly correct one. All bur feed (the digestible part of it) is turned into blood, and m that shape it feeds the entire body. When the blood gets thin and poor (lacking m nourishment), we lose flesh and grow feeble and pale. And the cause of the blood getting thin and poor is indigestion, or dyspepsia. How easy this is to understand when once you get hold of the right end ot it. Mother Seigel's Syrup has the peculiar power to correct what is wrong about the digestion, and thus enables the di gestive machinery to make good rich blood. Which is life and health and beauty.
