A SERIOUS PROTEST,

BRIGHTWaTER, this day. The Wanganui men intend to protest against some of the Wellington, Thames, and Nelson representatives, on the ground that they have been practising at a range within a mile of the association range. It is stated that the distance between the targets has been measured, and found to be within a mile. It is understood that among those who will be protested against are some of the Wellington Navals, Thames Navals, and Nelson volunteers, and that Poynter is included among the latter. It is beautiful weather. AU the repre sentatives are now on the ground. Major Baillies is in command. The ranges are in good condition. Shooting commences immediately after dinner. The first and second prizes in the Nelson match being £10 and a cup, valued at £10 and £9 respectively, has been struck out. AH other prizes have been reduced 25 per cent.

HOW TO MEET THE IRISH DIFFICULTY.

MX LABOUCHBRB, writing In "Truth," says ;—I understand that, should any proposal be brought forward to give the Irish Landlords compensation for the reduc* tions of their rents enforced by the Land Courts, it will bo met with an amendment recommending that the tenants, inpayment of future rents, shall be allowed to deduct the excess over lair rent that they hate been charged during the last ten yearn. The proposal may, however, give trouble if supported by the Irish lneml/ers and by several Whig landlords ; for in this case, it would be within tbe range of (possibilities that the Government would find itself iv o, minority. Were this so, the best plan would be to pass a bill giving votes to the agricultural labourers, and then, if this bill were thrown out in the Lords, to appeal to the country on the two issues, whether an hereditary chamber of landlord legislators is to be veto-electoral reform, and whether Irirh landlords are to be compensated out of English pockets for being hindered from completing the ruin of Ireland by rwk renting. We cannot for ever rule Ireland by clap, ping its representatives in prison, by quartering an army of 50,000 men there, and by depriving every Irishman of ;»ll guarantees against arbifciry arrest. These, we are told, are but temporary measures. But if, as Lord Derby asserts, four-fifths of the Irish are spposed to our kindly under taking to make laws for them, if Ireland is not pacified by the Land Act, if our coercive policy and our occupation of the Island »r* me with passive resistance aud open out rage—what then t Are wo permanently to maintain onr power there, as Russia main tains her sway in Poland, and as Austria ruled in Lombardyt Aro laws to be enacted in every part of tho British Empire by tho assent ot the governed, with the one single exception of Ireland ? Up to the present we have proceeded upon the theory that the Irish have been terrorised into disaffection, and we have sought to meet this by terrorising the terrorises, The official creed has been that the tempo rary objection to obey our laws may legiti mately be mst by temporary suspension of the ordinary law on pur part, and by sub stitutlng for it tbe absolute power of the Executive over the liberties of Irishmen. Wo have found, unfortunately, that all this has been a pleasant illusion. We are face to facO with tho fact that the vast majoj.ty of the inhabitants of one of the three kingdoms of the realm are determined rightly or wrongly [to render impossible, so far as they are able, the existing system of the British Parliament regulating their locaj affairs, " y?e are the stronger, and by force we can crush out opposition to our will. But are we pre pared permanently to substitute force in one of three kingdoms for the will of the governed 1 If so, what is the difference be tween our policy in Ireland and the Russian policy in Poland ? No, we cannot, with any regard to our principles, rule Ireland by the sword. This would be neither just nor expedient. The oost ot tho army of occupation is enormous, and we .should have to withdraw it were any foreign complications to arise. Moreover, we may alter the mode of procedure in the House of Commons as we will, we shall find It impossible to carry on the machinery of representative Government with fifty or sixty Irish members in tho House banded together to throw every difficulty that they can conceive in the way. How the present state of things is to end is that, sooner or later, we shall have to make terms with Irish public opinion. As a first step, we must clear our heads of the fetish of legislative unity, and realise the fact that Irish Home Rule is not necessarily identical with the disin tegration of the empire. Legislative unity may In tbeabstract be better than legislative federation, bqt in our particular case, the former, if it Involves the necessity of a perpetual war between the English Execu tive and the majority of the Irish, Is it uot better than the latteil I should be glad to see reasonable men in Ireland uniting upon some sort of programme, which would rally to them the English Kadlcals, who are prepared to assent to any BcliemewHch sNHild pacify Ireland and at the same time maintain the janity of the Em pire. What, I ask these reasonable men, can be more foolish than to imagine that anything will bo gained by an alliance with the Conservatives, who most assuredly will do nothing for them ? Mr Gladstone did all that he could for Ireland. Had he not assented to the Coercion Act, tho majority of his own Cabinet would have deserted him, and had he sought to enlarge the scope of the Land Act he would have been defeated by a coalition between the Whigs and the Conservatives, So long as the Irish allow their leaders to demand Home Rule, and to imply that this means separation, so long will a vast majority cf Englishmen be opposed to Home Rule. If the Irish mix up the two together, how can the English be expected to separate them? The very essence ot practical politics is compromise. No one can be an absolutely independent judge In his own cause. We and tbe Jrish aro at variance. It is to our mutual advantage that we should be friends, and to be so, both must give and tako.

Dunedin has been alive with Victorians, nearly ?00 of whom arrived by the Union Company's boat Te Anau, "The Roman Catholic clergy," says the Bendigo Advertiser," are as inveterate »g ever in their hatred to the Victorian Educa tion Act, or indeed of any other act over which control is denied them. On Mon day, the 23rd of January, a railway end ployd named James Hastings was foutd dead near Goornong. At a magisterial in quiry a verdict of death from sunstroke was returned* Hastings was a widewer, and with bis family his home was at Back Creek, The corpse was brought to Sandhurst for interment. His eldest daughter, a domestict living in Sandhurst, f >rwai d -d £1 to one of the clergymen living at St. Kilian's presbytery, with a request that he would read the burial service over the remains Of her ecceased parent. How. oyer, the money was returned, with a reply to the effect that the priest declined to read the seivice The sorrowing family had thus to allow their father to be buried without the usual rites of tbe church, Those following in what is termed the drift of modem thought will lightly regard such a contretemps, bnt unfortuna tely there are others who will not. It has since transpired that the refusal on the part of the authorities of tbe Sandhurst Roman Catholic diocese to perform the ceremony was from two causes ; the first being that the deceased man Hastings had not, for some time previous to his sudden demise, regularly attended tho church: aud, seconfiiy, that some of his motherless children were pnpils at tbe Grave-hill State school.

A JOURNALIST ROBBED.

A few weeks ago (says the. "Argus") statement was reprinted from a New York paper to the effect that a South Australian journalist had fallen into the hands o'j \ gang of confidence and lottery swindler-," that city, and been robbed of £10. Mr Cornelius Proud, of Adelaide, the pressman referred to, has juat returned rrom America; and has asked us in jisti.e to himj self to mention the loilowing facts In connection with the case—namely that he arrested one of the gang himself on tho evening of the robb.ry, athiid being taken into custody by the police; and that in spite of bribes of 75 dollars, 100 dollars, " and more if he wanted il,"and in the face of threats that he would be detained six months, and perhaps be shot or stabbed, he decided to prosecute, even against the ad» vice of friends, who said there had not been a conviction against these men for several years. The thieves of course did allttiey could to detain the prosecutor, and succeeded in making him miss one steamer, and com pelling him to appear eight times against them in the police courts, before the grand jury and before the recorder of New York, and three petty juries. When bribes and threats had failed, two of the three prisoncis sent their wives to cry before the Australian who had been robbed, and one of them sent his father on a similar "errand of mercy." But in tho end justice was obtained, and the three prisoners were each separately found guilty of the highest possible count of the indictment, grand larceny, snd sen tences aggregating 11 years were passed upon them, or a little over ono year for each pound stolen from tho unsagcious re porter," Mr Proud, before leaving New York, received the personal thanks of the chairman and two members of the grand jury, and also of the district attorney (who prosecuted on behalf of the people) and of the secretary of the Society for the Prevention of Vice. Mr W. C. Beecher, sou of Henry Ward bccchcr, the assistant district attorney, mentioned in Court that this was tbe first conviction ob tained against theso notorious confidence gangs for fivo veais, though their iobberios take place weekly, and during the hearing of Mr Proud's case threo others were officially reported, namely, one of 2,900 dollars from a Philadelphia lawyer, another ef 500 dollars from a Queensland gentlemanl, and a third of a smaller sum from an elderly Englishman, who came into Court to see those whose convictions had been secured by tho Australian journalist,

A German economist has taken the pains to exancl te comparative statistics concern ing tbe use of matches, and hasebmo io tbo conclusion that Germany surpasses all other countries in their consumption, which he sets down to the almost universal custom pf smoking. In Germany tbp daily con sumption of matches is from 10 to 15 per heid of the population, in Belgium about nine, in England eight, in France six. The consumption diminishes steadily and naturally from north to south. Tho total consumption for all Europe Is estimated at two milliards of matchee which gives an average of six or seven rpr bead. Reckoning tbe weight of a match at a decigramme this consumption would represent a daily ab soiption ot 200,000 kilogrammes of wood. So that Europe uses the immense quantity of 72,600,000 kilogrammes -or more thap 80,016 tons—weight of wood in mat clips alone. I

A gigantic deop water dock project for London is projected by the East imd West India Dock Company.

Opposite this place, and at a point wnero .the natural entry of tho port of London may bo defined, tho marshy land stretches in from the shore to the London Tillbury, and Southend line, which, it need hardly bo said, is in communication with all railways north of the Thames. Tho scheme of the East and West India Dock Company pro vides for the construction, hero, of a deep water dock, with sixty-Wo ac'rps of waipr and 650 acres of land, a site for future cv. tesnion equal to that already appropriated being retained towards the south-east. A tidal basin, 26ft deep at low water, and 41 at high water, will have an entrance 100 ft wide, from the river, and will be connected by a lock and graving-dock, with the main dock and its branches. It is proposed to use this dock for large steamers, new work ing borths for thirty such vessels atone time, of an average lenght of 400 feet each, being provided.
