Sir Joseph Ward at Winton.

Per Press Association—By Electric Telegraph. Winton, June 12

Sir Joseph Ward addressed the electors oE Awarua at Winton this eyening. There were 700 present, and the Acting-Premier was given an enthusiastic reception. After dealing 'with the finances at length, Sir Joseph referred to the various Departments dealing with the war now happily ended. He mentioned that the total expenditure made in New Zealand was £2,035,055. The Government; had been trying to obtain

direct Una of steamers to South Africa, and a tender had been received from the Blue Star line, which was now under considera tion in London. Sir Joseph referred at length to what the Government had done to improve the condition of farmers. Cheap money had been obtained for them, and the results from the working of the Agri cultural Department showed that it had been of inestimable value. The grading and inspection of butter and cheece had lifted the trade in those articles to a high level, and the legislation for the purification of manures had done good. The lowering of rates on farming produce upon the rail ways meant a great saving, and regular cabled advices from London were of value. A representative had been sent out to find markets, and laws had been broadened in a way which had enabled thousands to get holdings afc easy rates. Because the Government had also endeavoured to do good work to the artisans and workers in towns was no reason why farmers should turn against them. To create class preju dice was inimical to the interests of the colony. The legislation to be submitted during the season would deal with impor tant matters, but would be within the limilis, of practical procedure. The Govern ment should agree to adopt a referendum, bo that large social questions should at certain times be submitted to the people for consideration and decision. The electoral law required attention, as also the all-important: matter of the export of our products. Measures dealing with the superannuation of railway employees, the regulation of sharebroldng, juvenile de pravity, conservation of rivers, rebate to Crown tenants, and State fire insurance, would be considered. Improvements would be made in the Factories Act; safe guards for the public doing business with second hand dealers would be made law; aad .amendments dealing with rating on un improved values, and the Coroner's Act, would be introduced. The land laws would be further amended. He did not think that any attempt would be made to deal with the licensing laws during the session. Further remissions in railway charges would lie announced during the sitting of Parlia ment, and a measure would be introduced for the classification of the Civil Service. In regard to expenditure Sir Joseph said that wholesale retrenchment, except where actual necessity compelled, should be avoided. The effect of such a policy was followed by disaster never contemplated. Unnecessary expenditure should be avoided and that upon reproductive works should be first undertaken. He waa far from ner vous about the position ahead of the colony. Eailwaya already begun should be continued and the connecting link of the North Island railway should be vigorously carried on. The surplus revenue from the Consolidated Fund this year should be used for opening up lands and reading the country. The constituencies should be reasonable, how ever, and while the Government would not shirk its legitimate responsibilities, it would not be driven upon a course which it be lieved to be unwise or unsafe for the colony to follow. In conclusion, the outlook waa hopeful, and there was no grounds for apprehension. .<

Proclamation in Anglican Churches

Copies of " The form and order of service recommended for use in the churches of the Church of England throughout hißMajesty's Empire " on Coronation day have now been issued, by command of the King. On the conclusion of the sermon the minister is directed to make the following quaintly ■ Worded proclamation to the people:— " Sirs, I proclaim unto you EDWARD, the Son of Her Majesty the late most gracious Queen Victoria, as our undoubted King. This Day the King and Quean are Anointed and Crowned in manner fol lowing:—First His Majesty takes the Oath pertaining to his High Offioe, to govern the people of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the Dominions thereto belonging, according to the Statutes in Parliament agreed on and to the respec tive Laws and Customs of the same ; to cause Law and Justice, in Mercy, to be executed in all His Judgments } to the ut most of His power to maintain the Laws of God, the true Profession of the Gospel, and the Protestant Eefonned Religion es tablished by Law; and to preserve inviol ably the Settlement of the Church of Eng- ■ land, and the Doctrine, Worship, Discipline and Government thereof as by Law establish edin England. Then His Majesty is solemnly Anointed, as Kings, Priests, and Prophets of old were thus made and consecrated to teach and govern the people of Israel. He then is girded with the Sword of Justice; invested with Imperial Eobes ; presented with the Orb, the Eing, the Sceptre of the Cross, the Sceptre of the Dove, the Ensigns of Kingly Power and Justice. Then his Majesty is Crowned in the ancient Chair of Saint Edward. And being Crowned he is presented with the Holy Bible, the most valuable thing this world affords, wherein is Wisdom, wherein is the Eoyal Law, where in are the lively Oracles of God. After the Coronation of the King the Queen also is Anointed and Crowned. And finally the King receives the Homage of the Peers and Bishops, who have been summoned for that purpose."
