Lord Salisbury on Workmen's Houses.

: _ Lord Salisbury waß oa December 18th, the gaest of the National Union Conservative and Constitutional As sociations at the Whitehall Booms, london, and m replying to the toast of "Her Majesty's Ministers," said:—You will find that such Radicalism as still remains m London is attached to those districts—unfortunately, stiil too large—> where what is called the great question of the housing of the poor is living and burning, and I could recommend no surer guide to the Conservative party m trying to retain and improve their hold over public opinion m London than that they should devote all the power they possess fo getting rid of that which is really a scandal lo onr "lyiKsatinn-— th« sufferings \vh" classes have obtsin eveii say the r These th looks at been so matter ti desire to blame an deeply a r attsch t which ha byeconor human a; aro no ne seventeen , when firs question vast area < , Prison, w •! , , ! the mark,. . urged it I of Parliar . * sold, not • cost price r • , tbe-ereeti' poor.

We have great duties to perform, and those duties must be fulfilled. (Oheers) They may require strenuous efforts, they may require self denial but if we wish to uphold the reputation which has been handed down to us from our fathers, and if we mean to sustain the Empire which they did co much to build up, and which we have sacrificed so many things to retain—if we mean that the glory of England should suffer no tarnish at our hand, we must not allow our efforts to slack until the great enterprise into which we have entered has been carried through. (Cheers). We are speaking now at a time of some anxiety. We do not know exactly what has taken place, and we earnestly hope that the issue .•* may seem better than the beginning,.' (Hear, hear), But we have to punish it through, (Cheers)

1 I AN IMPORTANT LETTER PROM A WELL KNOWN SALVATION f ARMY OFFICER. Salvation Array Officers' Quarters, Jessia Streat, Wellington, 16th January, J9OO To Proprietors, " Plantekoa " Remedies. Dear Sirs,—l would like to inform you that when I arrived m Wellington, a little over twelve menths ago, I was terribly ran down m health. For two or three weeks I was unable to take any active part ia any meetings, I was com plefcely worn out, and always had that tired, languid feeling we hgar so much about, and neither sleep nor food seemed to refresh me, or do me any good. Someone advised me to try " PLAINTE KOA," which I did, and after I bad taken HAM' THE CONTENTS OF THE BOTTLE I felt much better, and I am delighted to tell you that from thstt date till the time of writing this note (over twelve months-) I have enjoyed the best of health, and my work is a pleasure. If these few lines are of service to you, make me of thf m. Yours sincerely," Mrs Captain Lock. The testimonial of Mrs Lock shon'd be of interest lo Afchburton residents, she i having spent some considerable time m ! this district. "Before taking * Plantekoa Mrs Lock had tried almost every remedy frianda could suggest. The shelves m the scullery of her house were full of bottles boxes, and tins, she remarking 'It's, like a chemist's shop.' However, m"" 'PLANT&KOA' she found a Sovereign Remedy, and strongly recommends others to try the same. From Chemists and Grocers everywhere. Correspondence Invited. PLANTEKOA PROPRIETARY, Wellington.
