The Assault on Charwomen.

Uai'c.i Press Association- By Eleotrio Telegraph. Wellington, September 1 At the S.M Court this morning, Henry Ellis, hairdresser, waa charged with partici pating m the assaulfc on charwomen, m con nection with which Byrne and Miahell were before the Court last) week. Ellis repeated the statement he made, and admitted having roughly ehoved the women, but Mtb Hicks, r>r;(! of the we m.;u concerned, still maintained hut X ii& was u^t engaged ia the uffur, Mr Haseidsu, m giving his decision, sr.id, " You and your companion Michel! have been the means of oreat'iig a miserable eoandal, and a cry has been raised m the Pres ■', and even m Parliament, to compel me to send you to gaol. lam not going to belie the record of my own life by yielding to preeture, however powerful,,either on one Bide or the other. lam going to impose r sentence which I think is just, neither more nor iesi»." Mr Haselden went on to say that he took into consideration the fact that had it not been foe Ellia coming forward as ha had done, Byrne would certainly have been convicted on Mrs Hicks'* evidence, and a miscarriage cf justice would have occurred. As Ellis vas the chief offender, he fiued him £10, m default two months' imprisonment.

WHAT IS A PRIME MINISTER?

In Lady Randolph Churchill's new publication, the Anglo-Saxon Review, there is an article by Lord Roeebery, m which there occurs the following pasßages, whicb, as representing the experience of one who has himself beea a Prime Minister, is of curious interest; —" What is a Prime Minister ? That is a question which it would require a pamphlet to answer, but m a few sentences it may be possible to remove a few hallucinations. For the title expresses much to the British mind. To the ordinary apprehension it implies a dictator, the duratian of which power j finds ita limit m the House of Commons. So long as he can weather that stormful and deceptive ocean he is elsewhere, supreme. But the reality is very j different. The Prime Minister, as he is now called, is technically and practically the chairman of an executive committee of the Privy Council, or rather, perhapp, of Privy Councillors, the influential foreman of an executive jury. His power is mainly personal, the power of individual influence. That influence, whatever it may be, he has to exert m many directions before he can have his own way. He has to deal with the Sovereign, with the j Cabinet with Parliament, and j with public opinion, all of them potent factors m their various kinds and degrees. To the popular eye, however heedless of these restric tions, he represents universal power ; he is spoken of as if he had only to lay down his views of policy and to adhere to them. That is very far from the cise. A Fiist Miais'er has only the influence with the Cabinet which is given him by his personal arguments, his personal qualities, and his personal weight. But- this ia not all. All his colleagues he must convince, some he may have to cajole — a harassing, laborious, and ungracious task. Nor is it only his colleagues that he has to deal with—he has to masticate thsir pledges, given before they joined him, he has to blend their public utterances, to fuse as well as may be all this into the policy of the Government; for these various records must be recon ciled, or glossed, or obliterated. A machinery liable to so many grains of sand requires obvious'y all the skill and vigilence of the best conceivable engineer, And yet without the exter nal support of his Cabinet he is dis armed. The resignation of a colleague, however relatively insignificant, is a storm signal." It would be interesting to learn from Mr Seddon how far this description is m accord with his own experience,

There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract m the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oila.
