Ashburton Guardian. Magna est Veritas et Prævalebit. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1897.

Reference has lately been made to an interesting ceremony which has just been carried KOSCIUSKO'S out at Rapper- HEAItT. schwyl, Switzerland, but only afewpeople have realised what it means. The paragraph in the papers simply men tioned the bare fact that the heart of : Kosciusko was transferred from the fortress of Zarich to a special masoleum in the old schloss of Rappersehwyl. | Koßoiusko was the great hero of Poland's great strrggle to secure independence. After hia failure he took refuge in the houae of Joseph Zeltner, at Solothurn, Zurich, where he died in 1817. In his last will he bequeathed his heart to Zeltner, by whom it was deposited in one of the fortresses of Zurich Exiled Pol«s, who, like Kosciusko, had sought refuge in Switzerland, in order to commemorate the coinnjtfnct;menfc of their struggle, and to celebrate its hundredth anniversary in 1858, erected a beautiful monument at Bap perschwyl. A few years later the spot upon which thia monument stood was purchasod by Count Plater, as well as the old castle in its vicinity. In this castle he placed a museum, containing objects of Polish interest. A short tijpe ago a committee was formed, with n view of considering t}is best means of celebrating the memory of Kosciusko, and thia committee decided to build a mausoleum in this old castle to receive his heart. The cost of erecting the building was borne by the Polish colgny in Paris and lately, in the pi?esenpo of 500 of the most noted Poles, the heart of Kosciusko was transferred to its last resting-place. The mausoleum is a magnificent building, consisting of a tower of porphyry, in the inner vault of which stands a bronze urn, rest jng on a pedestal of black marble The esgy qi thjs departed herq gtand.^ out abo^e the Polish eagte on the pedestal, while the muse of history lifts a veil over his head with one hand, and with the other holds a trumpet. Above these figures is the inscription " Kesurgat Polonia."

The Whakarewarewa (Rotorua) Maoris in tend seeing that Sunday is better observed there in the future. No hakas are to be danced for the amusement of visitors, and no football is to be flayed on Sunday, while the old ladies are to do the guiding of visitors round the geysers on that day, co that the girls can stay at home and observe the Sabbath. • A stowaway on the Warrimoo, from Sydney, who thought he wt»s on his way to Klondyke, was brought up at Wellington last Friday. His total capital was 15s but the iireate6t disappoiEtment was that he had struck "the wrong Pole." He was fined £355, or, in default, fourteen day a 9 imprison ment. Tne purser of the Warrim o stated thac stewing away had again become a common practice. At Nelson on Tuesday a very successful trial was held by volunteer officers of an electrical target, invented and patented by two local residents, Meaara McGee and Harris. It does away altogether jvith the necessity for a marker in the butts, the value and position on the target of each hit being shown on an indicator at the firing point automatically. The officers spoke in terms of high praise of the invention. Mr W. May, the diver, writes to the Wellington Fost that he could not possibly have received better attention than he did, and for this he thanks the Postal Depart ment* He may have said he was disap pointed in not being allowed to have the at earner moored over the wreck, and he cannot see that there would have been any risk in having hia wish in thia reapeot granted. The statement published that he got to Mr Rothschild's cabin (or any cabin) and gave an opinion that the box of jewel lery must have been swept away, he declares to be erroneous. He never looked for it, and therefore could not have given an opinion on the point.

Various experiences were given by dele* gates at the Charitable Aid Conference at Wellington on Wednesday relating to the question of desertion. Borne boards had found oases of collusion between husband and wife by which the husband ran away, and then the wile came on the Charity Board, while she also got something surrep titiously from her husband. A Southland deleiegate (says the Post) stood up for some of the husbands, considering thai women are largely to blame in many cases. His Board brought back a man three times, and had committed him to gaol, yet as soon »a he came out he could not agree with his wife, and off he went again. In such ca^es there should be means for a man obtaining a cheap divorce, at a fee of, say, 10s or £I.— (Laughter.) This, he contended, would meet the difficulty in a great measure. Mr Edison is among the latest sufferers from the X rays. He has had to give up active work in the matter, for he has found that his eye has, as he saya himself, been "a foot out of focus," and it has taken three months to restore it to its normal condition. Furthermore, he saya, his hair fell out in handiuls, and three months ago he could not close his hand at all,, but the abstention which has benefited his eyes has also had the effect of bringing his hair back and allowing him to make a fist with only some little tremble and pain. One of his assistants has, however, fared even wo/se than he himself did—his hair, beard, eye brows, and eyelashes having all fallen out, while his skin is wrinkled and burnt. But a few months will restore him, and, accord ing to Edison's belief, will make him even better than he was before, for be has found that the skin which has been discolored and defaced by X rays comes back softer and finer than before* A new advertising dodge has just been adopted by a leading theatrical company in New York with considerable success. It consists of sending cheques to thousands of theatre-goers, filled in for an amount con sidered, on the basis of a flattering income computation, s fficieut to pay for two minutes of the recipient's time The cheques are perfectly good, and the letters accompy ing them read asfoliows :—•' Dear Sir — Assum iog that your income is fifteen thousand {15,000 dol) dollars a year, and that you appreciate the fact that ' time is money, 1 we enclose our sheque for four (.04) cents, in payi* enf for two minutes of your time, at that rate, to be employed in carefully read ing a brief and honest statement of a few of the many original, new a novel, applause winning featnres to be found in the new three-act musical farce to be produced for the first time iv New York on Monday evening."

PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. I

Press Association —By Electric Telegraph— Wellington, October 26. The House met at 2.30 p m. THE AWARUA SEAT. The Speaker announced the decision of the Appeal Court in the case submitted to it under the Awarua Seat Enquiry Act. YOUNG PERSONS PROTECTION BILL. The Premier, in repiy to Wr Holleston, said that the information obtained from Magistrates and police officers relating to juvenile depravity would be placed before the Committee to which the Young Persons Ptotection Bill had been referred. He thought that it would be unwi»e to liy the information on the table of the House. GOVERNMENT BUSINESS. The Premier moved that for the remainder of the session Wednesdays be t»ktn for Government business. After a, lengthy debate the Premier's motion was oarried on the voice*.

THK FINANCIAL DEBATE. The financial debate wan resumed by Mr Huuter and continued to the 6.30 adjourn ment by Mr E. G. Allen. The House resumed at 7.30 p.m. The financial debate was continued. Mr Hcobie Mackenzie said that a worse document had never been thrown on the table of the House and called a Financial Statement than this year's Budget. It was time that the practice of bringing down the Statement as a prinlied document was abolished, and is place thereof the Treasurer should deliver it in a speech, A small portion of the Statement dealt with the finances, but the larger portion waß padding. He did not intend referring to the Govern ment's proposals respecting beet sugar, the rhamie plant, and other matters. No suggestion worth anything had come from ' any Government which could not originate ! though it could regulate industries. The Budget ftaa written in the most objection able and unparliamentary style. A financial statement ought to be a plain exposition of the financial affairs of the colony, and should not consist chiefly of electioneering puffery. There was a reference to the wretched past, and he proceeded to show that that wretched past had done a vast deal for New Zealand had done everything for this grand colony, had made it what it is to-day, and had done more for labor by laying the foun dation of labor legislation than the present administration had done or ever wi 1 do. The Premier had referred to the wretched f»rce of borrowing and squander ing, but he (Mr Mackenzie) pointed out that the Premier in the past had always voted for loana no matter what Government pro posed them. The Premier during hia parliamentary career had voted for loans amounting to £16,439,000, moat of which had been spent with naked and unblushing recklessness. Railway construction under the Liberal administration had languished, but a considerable sum of money had been expended on roads and bridges which were more oonvonient engines of political corruption, vhich railways were not. After reference to the Horowhenua case and the Bank of .New Zealand, he said, speaking of the Frontier holding a position on the directorate of the Anglo-Continental syndi cate, that he believed thoroughly in the Premier's honesty and integrity, but he remiaded him that when Mr Cadman was appointed Minister of Native Affairs he had to resign hi» office as he had half a share in some native' land. If that step were necessary in the case of a Minister it was more so in the case of the Premier, whose private in crests came into conflict with the interests of the colony. He referred to the supplementary mining report issued by the Government last year, which he asserted was nothing more nor lees than a prospectus for the Zmaa Company. In a few years the people of the colony, when the sc*les fell from their eyes, would gee the imposture and deception of the present; administration. They would then be able to truthfully speak of the wretched past, Mr Wilson said that the last speaker's remarks had been deficient^! commonsense, and there had been no attempt, to honestly and generously criticise the Budget. He advised Mr Mackenzie to go to some of the sparsely newly settled districts in the North I land and tell the settlers that roads and bridges were only engines of political corruption, but he (Mr Wilson) would not be responsible for what *ou d happen to him. He considered that the last sneaker's references to the Premier, in connect lon with previous Ipang were unjust, and he pointed oub that the Premier had at least not supported the Midland Railway scheme or the purchase of the district railways. (Cries of 'He supported it.' The Premier; 1 voted against it.) The last speaker, instead of rebuking the Premier should have rebuked his own party for the shame^os obstruction which had been going on' for the past three weeks. The main proposals of the Budget had 'not been touched on by the Opposition speakers, Referring to the advances to settlers scheme, he said that the reason why the member for Eatea aad athar members of the Qpnp^itjon. objected fet> it, w.ts. tha.t \t ppeyepted them lending money, to settlers at exorbitant rates. The scheme fead brought) gan mine prosperity to the back settlers. Speaking of the railway administration, he said that there was nothing but praise from one end of the colony to the other respecting Mr Gadman'a administration, and he doubted if there could be found ten men in the Hou%e wjio would vote for & return tp t tW misaioners' coatrol. '^peaking of the m.;ul aei vices, he i?ai4 that jt waa generally stated that if the San Francisco sgry-jce was discontinued, the ka,uri gujn. trade of Auck land would suffer, and exports to America wo^ld practically cease. But he pointed out that the greater proportion of the gum exported was shipped to Atlantic ports. He hoped that the Government would go on with their iaboc legislation, and urged the speedy completion of native land pur«hß.s^a, and the throwing of such puxchaaea open for settlement. Th^r§ was'tfothhsg niQre oaK caigt^d. to. harm the colony than the reversal to freetrade in native land, for as in the case of Hawke'a Bay, real settlement would be blocked. In connection with the licens ing law he had little doubt that the police were lax in its administration, but it was not to be expected that policemen were angels, aod they could not be P3tpeafce<S to bring case after case, if they, cou^cl' not get conviction!}. ]$c commented on the fact i that the fneppotor of Lunatic Asylums bad nob in hi« annual report made any suggestion respecting an increase of lunacy. MrPirani characterised the last speaker's remarks as being of a scolding nature. He hoped that the Government would, stop, the scandal in conneqtbji with the coßfca in the Horof henu.a c.as£. ' It waa stated, however, thst the question of these costs waa to be made a lever for. something else—that the bill dealing with the ¥«rowhenu.a hloek will contain a clause providing for payment of the GAs^a, and if the House did not pass the I measure the blame for the non-payment of j costs would be put on Parliament. He sug gested several improvements in land adminis tration and informed the Minister of Lands that he would have to give the settlers the righ to convert their leases into freehold. He condemned the proposed advances for the erection of creameries. Mr Lang and Mr MoGowan having spoken, the debate was on the motion of Mr Lewis adjourned, ' Th 9 J^oyw rose at 12 35 a.m.

A lengthy document has been issued from the War Office, containing a statement from the Colonial Defence Oommitteej showing the principles which, so far as they apply to special local conditions, it is desirable should be followed in deding with the ques tions affectiag local defence. The document is covered by a despatch from Mr Chamberlain, which concludes as follows :—" Doubtless the time will come when the increasing strength and resources of self governing colonies will enable them to materially assist the Mother Country by placing at bei disposal, for operation in any quartet of the gldbe, bodies of troops formed from the excellent material of strong and self-reliant colonists; but al present the development of their owe vast territories in time of peace, ami the elective protection of them ir time of war, is undoubtedly the besl contribution the colonies can offer tc Imperial defence. To this, however, there is the important exception thai England may be engaged in the future, as she has frequently been in the ptst, in war which carries with it no danger of attack on the colonies. In such case, the offer of assistance from them would be prized, as it has been op mpre than one occasion, not onjy for its real value, bu 4 t alss 4a. an evidence of the solidarity' on which the greatness of the British Empire must ultimately rest."
