The theory of land nationalisation an a remedy for poverty and a variety of human 1 woes is daily gaining new adherents, and an association specially to advance tho causo in Now Zealand has recently been formed at Dunodin. Mr Stout moved tho principal resolution, at tho initial meeting as follows:—" That considering that the system of per manently alienating Crown lands hither to in vogue in tbis colony is injurious to tho interests of the people—an opinion that is warranted by a knowledge of tho evils arising from the system of land tenure in Great Britain and Ireland—it is desirable that a strong and nnitcd effort be mado to put a stop to the system of permanently alienating the public lands of this colony," In proposing this resolution Mr Stout alluded to the opinions of John Stuatt Mill, Herbert Spencer, H. M. George, and A. Wallaco on the subject; and the works of these writors, but usnocially Mr George's interesting book, "Progress and Poverty," have undoubtedly made a deep impression on tho public mind. Like most patent remedies for the instantaneous amelioration of tho woes of mankind, land nationalisation, howover, only removes one of the causes of misery, and that not the chief. And until the general in telligence and moral status of the community is raised, we cannot, with American official corruption before oar eyes, be sure that the vast aggregation of power and patronage in the hands of tho political leaders of the country, wnlch the control ot tha entire soil would give, would not produce evils tenfold more terrible than any which we suffer from private landlord ism. Under a Democratic form of Govern ment the rulers of the country rarely occupy a higher moral level than tho people, and what we have known of private self-seek ing, and still know of the administration of public lands and public revenues by political rings does not tend to enamour us of a system that -would place every individual in the country more or less at the mercy of a powerful reigning factioD. The chief objection urged by Sir George Grey against the Government Insurance Department and the Public Trust Office was the importance of bringing the patron, age aud functions of the Government within

the natrowost limits, and it tho objoction is worth anythingas an argument against those minor departments of tho public service, it tolls most powotfully against land national, isation in tho proscnt condition of society. Wo observe that Mr Stout last night, in his lecture, reviewing Major Atkinson's na tional insuranco project, declared that there was no other way of romoving poverty than by tho gradual elevation of the masses of the people and the cultivationof habits of thrift, prudence and solf-dehial. Tho objection is no less applicable to land nationalisation as a panacea for human ill?. If wo consider tho growth of commercial and industrial power in England, simultaneous with the decay of tho old land-owning class—a decay that would have been moro rapid but tor the laws which in England hinder tho subdivision of the land—and it Mr Stout is right in hia opinion, as we think ho is, theu he must cuueur in the inevitable inferonce that tho land tenure, momentous though it is, dops not bear tho all-poworful relotiou to poverty which Mr Georga aud other charn pious of laud natioualwation declare. And this conclusion is inevitable from tbc circumstances of those colonies where tho laud is largely owned by the state. In New Zealand 34,000,000 out of tho total area of G4,000,000 acres are still in tho hands of tho Government, and tho price of land caunot, in this colony, act a*3 a bur to its easy acquisition by anyone desirous of obtaining it; yet it ia uu deniable that poverty duos exist, and is on tho increase iv Now Zealand, and from causes which tho State posses-ion of territory cannot reach. In tho great cities of Australia and America, the provalenco of poverty is very little less apparent thau in cities of equal magnitude in Groat Britain—and in every one* of these instances State landlordism exists on an extensive scale, and ia quilu powerless to mead mutters. Ia theory, land nationalisation is one of the most aitractivo of doctrines, though peihaps not moro so than many other forms of communism, and if amoral aud intellectual millonium for humanity should ever como, it will bring with it at onco a readiness to "hold all things in common," and a h'tnoss for such a statoof oxistenco, but until the chango is accomplished in the individual — until iimorance, and Urunkonneßs, and ex .._T_euuue, uud uiaiiuuuovj, ttuu iuo wuoie catalogue of modern vices are banished from tho earth, land nationalisation and national insurance will do little to mitigate evils that huvo their sources in the deep springs ot human nature.

What attitude then, it may be askod, should bo adopted towards this young but vigorous movoment? Clearly we should treat it with tho fricndliucss which we ex tend to all reforms. It aitns at tho Ultima Thulc of a perfect national existence, but there are many half-way houses. It brings into stronger light the failure of the present tenure of land to do justice to the occupants of the soil. We snould apply ourselves, therefore, diligently to tho removal of remediable evils, and prepare the way for more advanced stop?. All entails upon land must go, and overy encourage ment bo given to subdivision. Tho exist ing public estate should bo conserved, and by setting apart tracts ot country for agi icul tural and pastoral leases, the experiment of land nationalisation may bo tried upon an annually increasing scale. If tho result is as successful as tho exponents of tho new doctrine believe, tho day for universal nationalisation will come in the natural sequence of events, and tho Government of tho country will then hasro elaborated oct of a riponed experience some plan uot yot discovered for miog tho common heritage in tho interests of tho greatest number of tho inhabitants of tho land.

The outertainu:cnt will commonco at 8 30 (bminess at 8), and will consist of an address by the prosiilent, readings, sou};*, musical selections, &c , by various member* and friends of tho Society. It is hoped that amongst others Mr Seth Smith, the Resident Magistrate, wi>l bo picscnt ami deliver an address, Wo trust, especially as tho entertainment is free, that the attendance will be as largo as the occasion deserves.

Mr Willliam lloylo, the well-known statist, at tho close of a letter to tho " "limes," says : -" Lot it bo borne in mind that duiing the past ten years the population of tho United Kingdom has spent cearlv £1,304,000,000 upon drink, or nearly twice tho amount of tho National Dubt; and when it is remembered ihat this expenditure repre sents about au equal sum of indirect loss in the burdens and mischiefs which result from drinking, or a total of direct or indirect cost and loss of over £2,700,000,000, it will show the terrible character of the burdon which has boen weighing down the nation's indus tries during tho la^t ten years. No wonder, thtreforo, that there buouUl bo poverty, degradation, and roi«ery. How could it bo otherwise! Thcro are other roforms which the country needs; but 1 vonture ,to say that without a, reform in the habits of our population, including both rich and poor, tho unliitinir of iho masses is an iin ■possibility; but with this reform secured, poverty, degradation and misery would coon bo a thing of history, and along with it thcro would bs freedom from tho crlmo, vice, and moral pollution which aro every where associated with intemperance."

At tho mooting of tho Hoard of Educa tioti yesterday afternoon, six tenders wore received for the erection of a school at Helcnsvillo, and that of A, J. Hnzard (Newton), £429, accepted. Tho tender of James Peace, £224, for the construction of a school at Raglan was accepted.—A motion by Mr Goldlo that all ordi nary meeting) of tho Board bo open to the public, was carried. It was decided that tho Board could see no reason for dis turbing the election at Mongonui. Appli cations woro rocoived from Cambridgo aud Hamilton East for tho establish ment of High Schools, nnd it was agreed to tako steps to obtain tho sanction of the Minister of Education. On tho report o tho fxecutivo concerning repairs to tho Bercsford, Nelson, and Wei lcslcy-Btroot schools, it wjh resolved to call for tenders for tho necessary improve ments. A resolution was also patecd that tho attention of the City Committee should be draivn to tho Temperance Ball as a more suitable) nito for tho present High-street school, An application from Arapohuo regarding increased accommoda tion was referred to Mr Allright for report, while the question of drainage r.t Cam bridge was relegated to the Town Board. A resolution passed on MrGoldio's motion tbat no executive committee should bcappolntcd, but that tho Board ment weekly Instead of fortnightly. The date of election to fill the vacancy caused by Mr Moat's resignation was fixed for May 23rd,, wbilo Mr Laishley was appointed representative of the JJoard at the Colloga and Qrammar School Govern ors Board.

1 "Civis," in tho " Ctago Witness," thus discourses on the annexation of New Guinea : An Australian telegram announces that tbe Queensland Government has in structed the- Police Magistrate on Thurs day Island, North Australia to " take pos session of New Guinea." That iswhat the Americans would call "a largo order.' The Police Magistrate, with the assistance, no doubt, of tho Cloik of the Court and tho local policeman, is to annex Now Guinea. The probabilities are that tho Now Guinoans will antox tho Polico Magistrate, and that the jawbones of that unfortunate functionary, together with those of the Clerk of tbe Court and the local policemen, will be handed down as heirlooms in the family of tho principal chief, According to the Kcv. Ms Drown, a jawbono h to a New Uninoa man or Now Irelander only what a scalp is to a Ecd Indian, theprizo of battle, but also tbe cherished memento of u'.square ine.il. Thsy have a great alTcctiou for human jawbones in rho New Guinea group. Soriously, what does Queensland want with New Guiuou? Is there tho sJightest chance that a tropical island, swarming with savages not yet ameliorated by mis sionaries, can bo profitably colonised ? Tho French experiment in New Caledonia was an experiment with regiments, nnd is not a shining success at that. Where is Queens landtoget regiments Sho may expend every P.M. iii tho sprtice, and use up tho J P. list ai well, without any other result than tbat of making the Mew Guincaus a little fattor. Mr Bronn givos a ludicrous ac; count of the tragedy-farce playod by the Marquis do Ray's expedition in Mew Ire land. Do Bay is a political fanatic, who fancied it possiblo to found a monarchical colony in the cannibal islands. He brought with him tbe plan of a great city, in which, the quarticr for tho noblesse was carefully distinguished from that assigned toe bourgeoisie aud ouvriers. He brought also tho biieks for a citbedral, to bo- dedicated tq the Virgin, which bricks were landed and lie thero still. Ho brought vast sugar boilers and a laachiue for making macaroni, but there was not an axe in his whole expedi tion. Bis people lay about in the jungle till most of them died of fever, and those who finally got away aio now prosecuting the Marquis before the French courts for swindling and ruiuius; them. Englishmen would hardly mako so complete a fiasco as this, but the time has not yet come for colonising Now Guinea, There, ai in iVew Zealaud and Fiji, tho missionary will havo to precede the colonist,

The eoconct session ot tho Cambridge Debating Society opened, «>» TUaradny evening lust, under most favourable aus pices. As tho meeting was of a general character, the business consisted mainly of the eloction of oiliccrs for the ensuing term, "and Mr W. L. C. Williams was re elected President, Messrs J. P. Campbell and 8. \V. Dyor Vice»Presidents, and the following gentlomen were olected a committoe : — Venerable Archdeacon Willie, Rev. Dewsbury, Mossrs J. Wells, G. P. Brooks, J. F. Edgar, H.

The report of the secretary for last session was very farourablo, and the balance-sheet showed a satisfactory balance in favour of tho club. Tho member* are very sanguine regarding tho success of the coming session, both in point of geueral interest and attend ance, as well as success in regard to the object for which tho institution has been started.

At the usual weekly session of the Star of' Newton Lodge, No. 4, 1.0. Q.T., tho lodge received an olliciol viait from the following members of Grand Lodge Executive, viz : Bro Longbottora (Q.W.C.T.), Bro Biiloy (G.W.G.), and Bro Kobertson fG.W.T.) After the iuitintion of five candidates and the ordinary businoss of the lodge had been disputed of, the Grand Lodge oilicers were introduced with tho usual ccromonios, Bro Longbottom, U.W.C.T., then gavo a very able address, encouraging the numbers in the good work they wero engaged in, and urging thorn to slill greater zeal in the temperance causo. Bro Kobcrfson also ad dicted the lodgo in a short pithy spoech, and favoured them with a very humorous recitation. Several songs, recitations, &c , we tben given by mombors of tho lod^e and visitors from the "Gem of the Sea Lodgo" of 11. M.H. Diamond and other lodges. The singing of tho sailor brothers was especially appreciated. - Bro Bailey, G.W.C., then nave a short address, in which he spoko of go id likely to tho temperance cause by the efforts of tho Bluo Ribbon Army. A hearty vote of thanks was then tendorcd by Bro Llehtfoot, L.D., to tho Grand Lodge Officer* and other visitors, which was duly acknowledged by tue Grand Uhicf Templar on behalf of the Exocutivof, and by Bro Power, on bohalf of tbo Gem of the Sea. After a very ploasautaud instructive session tho Lodge clo>cd la tho usual manner at 10 o'clock.

From several persons wo hsvo received information of a very peculiar occurrence which took placo last Sabbath evonin». About nine o'clock, when all was dark and still, a strango sound was heard, which ono party describes as coming from the cloud-1, while another is of opinion it proceeded from subtorrnnoan regions. The sound was a weird sort of moan, not unlike tho bum of a largo furnnoa when steam is being KOt up, or tho " buz«" of a circular caw going through a thick iog. It continued at mtorrals for a considerable tirao, and was sufficiently loud to bo heard simultaneously over a wids area of country. The theories which are advanced to account for tho occurrence aro varied— one thinKiog it was au elemental war in tho upper atmospheric region*, giving warning of tho storm of Monday night and succeeding days, while in other quarters it was looked upon as tho rumbling of an earthquake, or perhaps the piocuraor of a volcanic eruption. Tho same sound, though not so loud, was also heard at various times and places on Monday forenoon, and ono deponent, who was out of doors at tho lime of ono visitation, says the trees and shrubs shook and t "urered, though not a breath of air was stiring. In ono household, where a lady resides, who has boon accustomed to living in a land where earthquakes are of frequent occurrence, no doubt, lolt that this was a slight shock of earthquake, as on hearing tho sound the lady at once rushed out of door?, manifesting every symptom of terror. Wo are glad to bo in a position to dispel at onco tho fears and the fan tastic theories of thoso people who hsvo been alarmed, by informing them that the mysterious sound was nothing worse than tho blowing of the fog-horn on board H.M.S. Diamond, which m»y be heard every morn ing and evening,

THE SALVATIO N ARMY IN AUCKLAND.

Meeting at the Temperance Hall,

Tub Salvation Army inaugurated their mission in Auckland last evening by a meeting at 'ho Temperance Hall, which, we uDderai. ud, has been Becurcd by Cap tain Wright tor use as a " barracks " for a lengthened period. The hour at which the meeting wa3 announced to commence was 7.45, but prior to that hour the oflictra, Captain " Ted " Wright and Lieutenant " Johnny" Bowerman, were in the street exhorting a gathering crowd to come into the hall and " find salvation." At this Qreliminary meetinj. which is technically called " an open Aair," Captain Wright in formed liia somewhat rowdy auditory that " two years ago I stood looking at the Sal vation Army and thought they were foole," adding "and we arefoobj" his subaltern uiekly interjecting; "So wo are. Halle lujab." One of the officers then sounded the ''aasembla" on a bugle, and the large crowd trooped into the hall, which in the course of a mlunte or two was crowded a'moat to suffocation, Capt, Wright and Lieut, Bowerman took seats on the platform, and Quietly waited till the audience were seated. The former i 3 a tall, sparo, young man, apparently about 20 years of age, with a rouud, merry, hairless, boyish face, and a tendoncy to drop his " h's;" albeit apparently a person earnest in 'hi* convictions and possessing more force of character than the physiognomist would at first give him credit far. His voice Is full and powetful, and in the singing of hyiaD3 it could be singled oat distinctly. Captain Wright's associate is apparently five or six years older than his superior, though in statnte he is fully a head shorter. Both men are at:ired in neat, well-fitting uniforms of blue cloth with red facings OnihecoJJars appear the letters "5.A.," and on the light breast a small silver shield. After the audience were com fortably seated, both men dropped oh their knees in silent prayer. Captain Wright then invited "brethren who love the Lord to take seats on the platform,and back 'em up." While several persons were respond ing to this appeal t Lieut. Bowermaa—or as he was familiarly called by the Captain, Johnuy—sold copies of ." Xhe Salvation Soldior's Song Book " amongst the audience. Captain Wright then read the first verse of the hymu commtneing " Tlio.e is a better land, they say,"aad led off, the audience joining in heartily. During the reading of the other verseß, the Captain not un frequently made comments on the subject matter ot particular lines. »t the end of the last verse he said, "We like that; let's have it again," and with renewed energy and much gesticulation be repeated the chorus. The captain then made a few remarks on the nece»sity of salvation, in the course of which lie was frequently interrupted by the larrikins at the back of the hall. He asked, "Is there a hell?" whereupon an irreverent listeoer exclaimed, "Yea; at Fiji*" About thia time there were loud calls for "Paddy Doran," whereupon the captain incontin ently deserted his theme, and assuming a menacing attitude, exclaimed, "If anyone will point out theman whomade the row 111 put him up and he'll bo a picture for you," Tno captain's evident determination quelled the noiae for the time betig. Another pres-ing invitation was made to persons to cooid on the platform. When a person res ponded, Wright joyously exclaimed, " Bless the Lord ! liero's a volunteer 1" " Johnny " also expressing his gratification with a " Hallelujah 1 Bless His sweet name." 'ihe hymns "^Nothing but the blood of Jo-us," and " There is a Fountain filled with Blood," having been sunjr, Captain Wright volunteered to give a few particulars re the salvation Aimy :—" Seventeen years ago the Key. William Bjoth, while stationed at Mile End, London, saw around . him thousands and thousands of men and women fast hurrying down to eternity. They were a class of people who never attended a church or chapel, and who never bad any thing to do with religion. Wiib. his large heart ho pitied them, and made np his mind to put forth all his efforts in reclaiming them, in, making them respcctablo members of society, and fitting them to live with God in heaven. Of couisa he realised that he was unable to do this work, but he knew that his Master was. He determined to work exclusively for these people. A meeting was held, and tlioy promised him a salary, for ho had a large family. Ho did not think at that time that it would get to such large proportion?, and would spread all over the world. He had no idea there would bo a Salvation Army, but he called it ' A Christian Mission,' One or two of the most desperate characters got coo verted, and began to work with him. As some had to come three or four miles, they asked for and had another room given them. I'hey got on slowly at first, but duting the last five years they made great srtfos. Hallelujah! (Laughter.) Oh 1 you need'nt laugh. You will get used to it in time. It means Praise tho Lord. We have the Salvation Army in France, Sweden, America, Australia, and hallelujah 1 we have it now in New Zealand, and here we mean to stick. Yes, we do ! We are lighting on the right side, and on the winning side. There is a lot of people who say, "'Oh, you chaps make a good thing of it! (Laughter.) It is a lot better than hard work;" but I have found it the hardest work I have ever done in my life; and L rejoice that there is a lot of men who don't get tiny salary, and have to trust to God. I hava known men and women to go out on Saturday nights to the open air meetings who had had no tea, and parted a crust between them for dinner, and did uot know how they would get their dinner on Sunday. They trusted in Uod. Our lieutenants in Eng land receive IS-s a-week, and our captains a guinea, I rejoice to think we get less pay than anyone else. We have plenty of men who do not receive more than half tho salary they received whoa they were work ing at iheir trade?. It is not for money or for anything we can get that we come hero; it is for the love we have for men and women, and we are eager that we should be used in snatching them as brands from the eternal burning." Captain Wright explained that each district was Eelf-supporting—"'The earth is the Lord's, and tho fulness thereof.' We are not here for money, but we think the devil Is well supported in a lot of things. Wo make collections every night; our meetings would not be complete without them, and we publish a balance-sheet every month, If there is any surplus, 10 par cent, goos to the 'Divisional Trust Fund' in England, The captain then made a collection, explain ing when "Johnny" produced two dinner plates that co little had they thought of the collection that they forgot the boxes." The collection was made, and apparently a goodly cum was raised. The captain then volunteered a solo, which he said had been composed by Major Smith, of London. It was called " Our Motto's Blood and Fire," and as tho tune was catchy, it apparently took with the audience. The larrikius at the back laughed loudly when, at the end of one stanza, he irnde several ineffectual attempts to reach the top note. Ho evidently believed with Fred Maccibe that " jfou can fetch the Bri'ih public with tho 'lgh note," so be stuck at it, and like that worthy "got it out in bits." Ho then apologetically ex plained that in singing that song at Clap ham, the weakness of the upper notes was concealed by tho big drum. " Wait till wo have a drum, and some of you fellows at the back playing in the band, My I won't we mako the devil run. Hallelujah ! Bless the Lord." An other hymu was then given out, the captain saying to the audience, '' Though you don't know the tune yet, you soon will. Just hang on a note and a-hi If behind, and' you will soon learn it." (Laughter.) t the invi tation of the captain, several p-r.-ons from amongst the audience gavo brief histories of the awakening of religion within them. These gentlemen having concluded, the Captain Baid, "Order for Johnny Boirer man; give him a chance." That worthy then came forward and delivered a fervid address. By this time the larrikins were again becoming noisy, snd Captain Wright had more .than once to threaten them. The meeting, however, terminated without tumult, the Captain announcing that meeting" would be held in the ball this evening at 7.45, aod on Sun day evening at 6.30. A "repentance" uieetiug was held subsequently, to which probably 100 persons remained. We are sorry to learn that when Captain Wright was leaving the building, ho was struck on the face with a missile of some sort. We would recommend that at future meetings a man in blue should bo stationed in the vicinity.
