For the cause that lacks a„lilanco, For the wrong that needs resistanc For the future in the distance, ' And .the good that we. can do.

[ Co-operation—industrial and. commercial —which was at one time to sweep everyi thing before it, has not made the progress that was predicted of it. Tbe annual con. greas of delegates representing the coJ operative Societies of Great Britain and Ireland has recently been held at Leeds, when Lord Derby delivered a very, able address. His chief points were that the members of a co-operative trading company are not likely to cheat themselves, so that

if they deal iv provisions they will have no motive for adulteration, and if the co. operation be of an industrial character, the workman will have au interest iv putting good work into what he makes. Every man also lopks upon the work with the eye of a master, and is interested in main, taining a general standard of excellence,

Against this, however, we have oftiaji in al -co-oporatiro concern tho lack of a masters vigilance and economy ; there ia tad danger of rivalry among many masters s'Md when co-operative societies deal withfthe public flu* tenaptatioufto adulteration-is' quite as, strong tw.iu ,ai. private concprn,'Many pro* i miiing co-operative; ■ hayc failed through internal dissensions! or tho inability of the organisation to tidtt [ovW'tlie strain of jan^versc sojtsiui. In otHcrsi crttlrava- Ranti.and incompetent Management 'has proved; disafctroti!}, Tho Nonconformists! Association, afterwards reconstituted as the City of London Association, nftcr a career of little more than twelve months suddenly collapsed, the whole of ;tho share holders' money being lout, and oven the deposits of the outside public:, lodged in pre-payment ojE goods were impounded. Instancoß,] again, are numerous where cb: operative manufacturing societies have either fallen into private hands or been flouted into Joint Stock Companies ! Thd luttdr haVO been mqst fatal to tho original integrity 'of those institutions, because Members taking stock fot-thcir interests are saOn induced to sellout, or become .swamped by tho overwhelming of the biff share* holders, who scizo upon tho maimgeiucnt; -MoroqVpr, the profits of manufactur ing firms iur years of depression are ridiculously small for the amount of capital invested in them. Take, for' ex ample, the luturns of three leading British firms in 1880, namely, Mosara Itylanda and Sons (Limited), with a capital of £1,622,430; Messrs J. P. Westhoad'and Co,, with a capital of i>215,6'00; and Messrs J. F. and H. Kobcrta, with a capital of .C0'3,710.' The. pdroeiitage of prolits.on the capital of tho latter was only I.GO per cent.,, for. the, six mouths ending 30th November, 1880; tho balance-sheet of j; P, Westheiid ami Co. (Limited), showed 0.22 per cent, for the same period; and Messrs Kylaudb and Sou», I.IG for the twelve.month's. There is not much suipluij in tliese- figures' to siistain a co-opcrativa vdntiiro >vitu the capital, which such a busi* ness must have at the back of, its labour. Still, despite alt obstacles, there are. many instances in the TJuitcd Kingdom, where sensible men uniting together have proved the feasibility of working profitably in .the dual capacity of master and servant. Tho profits made by co-bperativo uociotiea in Groat Britain and Ireland during JB7SJ amounted to £1,600,000. In Paris a largo paper - hanging business, judiciously managed by a wise,head, has produced a huge fortune to the founder, who holds a controlling Interest, and has provided a comfortable competency for liis workmen.' It sustains many offshoots from the parent trunk. In that instance, a far-seeing em ployer won for himself tho best aetvicca oj the bast workmen" by giving thorn a mono tary intcrostin the fruits of their labours. If such a rule were generally adopted by em ployers, co-operation would enter upon a new and safer era.. \yith.tbo rohtive profits and liabilities of tho capitalist and work* man adjusted on an established rule, there w&uld'.bo an end to strikes. Years of plenty and ,yeafrs of, scarcity. would' come with uniform pressure on capitalist and workman,; and we can him no reasonable v doubt that i tho result on the average would bo a thoroughly satis* i factory one.;. SV: ' = '■•:> ■• The stronghold of co-operation, whero it ( has succeeded in England, has been the cash principle. A tradesman giving large credit compels tbe honest to pay for the dishonest. 'If he received payment in cash he could afford to" dobusiness at ,a lowor margin. Whorovor.a tradesman has suc ceeded in establishing a cash business, lie has invariably managed to hold his own in price and quality '■ against co-operative rivals, because his management is generally cheapor.

THE MOVES ON PARIHAKA.

are signs that the Government in tend to nuike some decisive movement against!Tc Whiti; but what1 shape the operation--will take is kept a. profound secret. Wo infer, however, from what has transpired, and the nature of the prepara tions, that the intention of the Government is first to destroythe lencesj aud arrest all natives wlio resist or attempt to ro-ercct them.- The policy thereafter appears to have been made contingent upon the effect .'produced at Parihaka.by the initial move ment. By massing a lnr#o forco on the Plains, the Government aro preparing'to put down resistance, but their invitation to volunteer corps, instead of recruiting the Armed Constabulary, indicates that they believe the force will only bo required tem porarily. At tho samo"time,' the magni; tude of tho preparations cau only be ex plained on the supposition that after the re moval of the fences, somo guarantee will be deitandod from To Whiti for .the future pcacb of the PlhiriSjif tho actual brcakiiuMip of tho settlement at Parihaka is not on the programme. In connection with,-vthii mattor, the* following extract from Col! Render's*: report will explain tbe present defensive condition,„o| tho Plains in the immediate vicinity of To - .Whiti's Rottle ment :—^ HLicutciiattt-Colonel Roberts's principal Caihps are Pungarohu, Rahotuj Kgmont, Opunake, and ManSja. Puni garohuf is situated about 1J miles from Parihika, is uaturallj/ a fairly-strbug posi. tion, ;;bn which the. men of Major Tuko's division are encamped. Temporary breast workstliave been erected, and tbe position is about^to be strengthened by tbe addition of a blockhouse. Rahotu, wbero Major Goring's division is encamped, 5 miles south of Pungarehii/ison the site of an old Native fortification, a position naturally so strong as hardly to require the additional defen sive works in course ot construction. The Egmriht post,'3rmiles west of Pungarchu,' was 'established for the protectieh of the lighthousei being erected on the Cape, and consists of af-sinall stone redoubt close'to the lighthouse site.j and a. main.camp; enclosed in a substantial palisading, erected on the banks of the, Kaponiaia Stieatn, about 200 yards from the lighthouse; Opunake, tho head-quarters of tho district; has a redoubt cnpable of accommodating 100 men, if necessary, but could be held by a handful of men occupying the bullet-proof loop-holed blockhouse recently .erected' at one'- of '■ the i nnglcs. : This•'. rcdeubt was^built by Major TUke id 1879 in the short apace of throe weeks, and was pro-! hod need by Colonel Scratchley as a most creditable defensive work. At Maoaio, tho new position On the Waimate Plains, a re doubt of 80 feet'sqUarc, inside measure ment, hds been erected on the site of an old Maori pa, Te'Taheke. It has accommoda tion for 80 men, and, like Opunake, by, means of; Its blockhouse, a very few men cojild hold, the position, if the main body were required to take the field. This re-, doubt* was planned ahd built by Captain Gudgeon, and reflects great credit on that officer. I have twice, visited tho whole of those, posts within the past four months, and cannot speak too highly of the order in which they are kept,- the.discipline main tained; and soldier-like bearing of the men, showing that, though they have been largely employed in road-making and the construction of useful works, Lieut.-: Colonel Roberts' has not allowed drill,to "do neglected;, From his report I find that con siderable attention has also been paid to target-practice, with most satisfactory: results. In: the camp/everyprecaution has been taken in pasting guards and pickets of such strength as to insure their safety, and especially guarding against being lulled into a false state of security by the apparently quiet aspect of affairs." Armed covering parties, ia charge of officers from each camp,* nave always been sent out, for the protec tion of the men working on the roads."

, Mr McKonzie has given notice to move, at' the meeting of the Harbour Board on Monday, « That the following members of the Board be a Tariff and Wharf Com mittee to take into consideration all matters' in connection with the tariff and manage ment of the wharf, "viz:-The Chairman, Messrs Clark, Waddell, Stone, Owen, Maselield, and the mover."

He is now recovering the use of his limbs. ,

A special sitting of the Besidcnt Magis trate's Court was held this morning for the hearing of two adjourned civil cases, viz , .Wear v. Waller, and Philip Jones v, Samuel Benny. The proceedings, however, proved of' a mnch briefer character than was anticipated, the first-named case having been settled out of Court, while Mr Heßketh (defendant's solicitor) asked and obtained an adjournment of Jones v. Benny, on the ground that the evidence of the defen dant, who was at Kaiapoi, could not be taken until the 24th inst. An adjournment was consequently granted till the 3rd prox.

E.-Boyle (socrclary), on behalf of,the members, presented Professor Cailliau with a complimentary address aud a sum of £11 *I0«,' the proceeds of the concert givcu in tho Theatre Kdyal for Ms benefit: The address; inter alia, stated : " Wo jlo not iutoml you, sir, to measure our regard for you, as our founder-and conductor, by the very meagre balance wo hand to you oh this occasion, btlt 'M hopo, by strict attention to youc direction aud compliance with your-dis. ciplinc, to show our 'appreciation of your talent as a musician and ability as a conductor, w.liich do credit to the honoured tchoolfrom which you hail.

Mr J. McGinlcy then, on behalf of the committee, prcsonted tho Professor with a silver-mounted^ suitably inscribed baton. Professor _ Cailliau, in returning thanks, said.ho waa pleased to havo gained tho cordial .goodwill of tljo Society, and to per ccivo that his services had met with such acceptanco. 'We .understand that tho pupils |of .tlio .gentleman arc also taking steps lo express, in a similarly substantial manner; utho regard which they entertain for their indefatigable instructor, • "'. , Tbp .severest shock that Koyal dignity lids suffered for maiiy years is tbo marriage of Lord Campbell, *brotheriih-law o( tho Princess Louise, to a daughter of J^rs Victoria Woodhull, whoso name became notorious iv America in connection with tho free'love doptrines advocated in a journ&l edited by hor.* Wis suspect that it will bo a long time before the experirricfit of marrying amoinber of the reigning houso to a Commoner i will be attempted again. The "New York,Sun'.' alluding to tho marriage says -r-Lordi Colin Campbell is to marry.Miss;Gertrude.Blood to-morrow week. The Princess Louise will attend the wedding. Thelady here referred to is the daughter o&Mrs Vmtofia WoodhulUßlood, formerly of thia city, at one time editor of Woodbulj and Claflin's-" Weekly," well known for her advocacy of advanced theories of women's rights and as a candidate fori the office of President of the United States in the campaign* of .1872. Mrs Woodbull-Blood was, wc believe, divorced from Col. Blood, and now writes her name as Mrs Viotoria ;Woodhall. The betrothal of Lord Colin -Campbell to Miss Blood Was announced some time ago/but the report was generally discredited. Mr3 Blood's sister, Miss Claflin, was associated with Mts Woodhull as an editorand a platform speaker. In addition to her othor labours,' Mrs Blood is the author of an elaborate treatise on finance. Lord Colin Campbell is the fifth son of the Duko of Ateyll, and brother of the Governor-General of Canada. He isibrother-in-law to the Princess Louise, fourth daughter of Queen Victoria. '. i At the sitting of the Board of Education yesterday, the report of the committee was [considered on the motion of the Chairman (Mayer), and in.iutroducinc'the subject Mr Clark called the attention of the Board to tbo'difference in salaries paid to officers in the South and North, and compared them. Their Inspector here got £500, and" £20 travelling expenses. In Otago tho Inspec tor got £550, £50 for forage, aud 25s per day:travelling expenses.. Iv North Canter bury the Inspector e;ot £500, £50 for forage, and actual travelling expenses. Although iv Wellington tho salary was actually larger thoy need not take that into consi deration, for tbe Inspeclot there was partly Sccretnry.and partly'lnspector, but taking tho other two they found that the sala' rics were higher than those'paid in Auck land, althoughthe' number of schools was larger. The chairman stated further that the cost of the staff in Auckland was pro portionately cheaper than in Southern dis tricts, although in Auckland they bad 160 schools, in Otago 141, and in Canterbury 120. The whole cost here was £981. The cost of the office in North Canterbury was £1,150. He would have liked the return to show that they were paid here at less rates than in the other provinces, although it was proved they did more work, and in bis opinion their officers in Aucklaud wore more efficient than those iv the Southern dis tricts,. After'some further remarks, he moved the resolution standing in his name, adding, "That £50 per annum be added to the Inspector's salary," which was seconded by Mr Moat, supported by Mr Peacock, and carried,

This morning a reporter saw Mr Goldio's method of dtßtroyingdogs put into practical use. /.Thefirst part of the performance is to got hold of all utile stray: dogs without collars. This is generally done by tempting them with a bit of T>road, then a rupe.is'put tonud their necks and they aro marched or! draggod.ito the kennel in tho malket.i This part of the prcccsa is not So dangerous as one would naturally7suppose, as bitos are not at all frequent. Tho kennel is divided Into Bevoral apartments,' so that their occupants may bo readily got ay holding about a dozen prisoners. Untilihe time arrives for oxecution, tlie animals aro fed, thorcfora do not bowl so dread' fully as,they used to do iv olden times. Closo by the kennol is an open iron tank filled with water. Suspended oteiJ*: the tank ik an iron cage .like those used in menageries, only tbe'bottom is grated or •barred like the sides. One man opens the door of the kennel, and another gra<ps a dog by the neck and pushes -it into an-open door in the cage. The cage door ia then shut, and the process repeated until all the occupants in the kennel are transferred to tho cage, which, by means of block and. tackle, is then lowered into the tank. Thero is no noise; only a slight commotion : in tho water.* In ten minutes all is over," the cage is again hoisted, and tho drowned occupants aro taken but and forwarded to their '"■ destination, i: where they are used .for manure. There is no doubt about the death of the dogs^ but the oxoculioners are not so sure about tho ileas, whether ;tkey are only rendered insenßible7 for the 7 time, being, or, finally drowned.: The' only'unpleasant appearance is when the cagb is first drawn,out of the water, with the "drowned quadrupeds."' Sometimes the owners come to sot the bodies of their departed canines/and; ourone occasion there was a' hoart.icudiug scone w^ion a woman discovered tbo dead body of ber pot dog. Crying bitterly, she said she would rathcri have paid any amount of money than lost hor loved companion.: ~ - . j

,To the Editor : Sir,—T felt pleased to sob by your last'night's issue lhat my asking our most.worthy Chairman of Ponsonby Koad Board n plain question,, and stating a few plain facts," lias roused bis wrath. T think any person of a sane mind and a clear conscience could have- replied Without get ting into such a fury. Not co Mr-Field— " I,am now Chairman, and I must not bo mod-led with." Mr Field's blustering tone will not bluff mo off nor deceive the .rate payers of Ponsonby. We have dropped down to that by now. Hi? denial turns upon a quibble as to what he chooses to consider " near bis house." I repeat that one of the first acts of tho Board under Mr ,Field's chairmanship was to put men on to pick up a hard-metalled and little used road.* The toad referred to ia that which tumsdown to Maßofield's Point from that, pait,of Pon-I sbnby -Koad where it sweeps round'to wards Mr Field's house. Will Mr Field dare to deny that I, and others not even residing in Ponsoiiby, saw that road picked as I stated ? Ho accuses mo of mendacity';' the 7 rate payers Bhall judge between us and test-the valuo of his word by bis own positive state ments that the Board did not put men on: this road, and that there is no hard-metalled road near his house. The residents in the most populous sections of the district adjoin ing the city were stupidly carried away by [Mr Field's loud-mouthed professions before the last election, and placed iv the Board ttyee members -living in-the thinly populated, section, beyond the Three Lamps. The tree-planting, hall-seating, and other, ■ recent operations of the Board: have now opened their eyes a,bit.! Wbile these little games wero being played for the benefit of the Chairman's section, Alma Place, Bfookviire,:and Springbanlc Save been left in a most disgraceful condi tion of utter neglect. If the residentsin those sectionsare now wide awake to their interests'they will,' to a niah, petition for immediate annexation to the city. If Mr Field still .denies the truth of my statement regarding Ireland-street, let him bring Mr Goidie and appoint the morning or night when he intends so doing, and he will be honoured with not only the name of tbe writer, but- shall see the very person himself.—! am, &c, Faik Play .and Justice.

To the Editor: Sir,—What a tender cuticle Mr Field has. How a slight prick hurts him—yet who so good a hand at blackening the fame of and stabbing others in their reputation ! Re garding the picking up cf a good. metalled road, Mr Field merely shirks tbe matter. The fact itself is notorious, and the only question is as to whether the street should or should not be described asnearhis bouse, —Yours, &c., NOBFOLK-STKEET,
