ft 1.. ' The speaker next referred to the apathy of the Auokland people on this subject, and then spoko of tho roundabout course of the proposed Marten route, and the poor coun try through which it. runs. They should novor giro up tho Stratford route until it was found the engineering difficulties wore so great that they could not be overcome. In reference to locnl government, he had always contended that the administration of affairs from Wellington was absolutely bad. The people should have control of .thoir own affairs, and they should have broad powers. In fact, the power now centred in Wellington should belong to the electors. Ho would support any measure of that kind. The Highway- Boards of tho country had done a lot of use ful work, but tho present Highways Act was too cumbrous. He would in this matter strivo to simplify the laws so that tho people could know what they were dealing with. (Applause.) Tho laws of the country now were so complicated indeed that even those who made them could not understand them. (Laughter.) He ap- E roved of tho people electing the licensing enohes, and it was the duty of everybody concerned to put a stop to the existence of houses which were not well conducted. A publican who kept his house properly would not suffer any more under the present system than he did formerly. He next came to tho electoral franchise, which he was glad to say was established in tho most liberal manner. Tho liberal franchise had many . enemies, but he believed in giving every man a vote, and if he made any exception at all it would bo in favour of a good character qualification. The only difficulty he saw was where to draw the line. (Laughter.) Tako the gumdiggor, for in stance: ho was a contributor to tho rovenuo of the country, and he thoroforc should have a voice in the election of tho men who levied tho taxes and who represented him. He thought that both property and people should be represented. He would 'curtail the weight of property In tho elections, and as a roason why ho .Instanced the case of tho Hon. James Wil liamson, who, in the coming contests, could vote at Onehunga, at Eden, at Parnoll, at Newton, and in each division in tho city, at Waitemata, and in both divisions of Mer cer, and in both divisions of Wai kato. Thus he and his class had the power of returning a party to mako laws for tho people to obey. He approvod of ono man having one vote for manhood, and ono for property. (Hear hear.) On the education question he had very decidod opinions. For the present system of national educa tion ho anticipated no interference on the part of tho State, for it was sup ported by public opinion, and it was sheer folly to suppose that it lacked tho necessary preponderance of public sup port. Indeod, he bolioved that a littlo atirring-up of tho system would only fix it more firmly in tho sympathies of the people, and tho State, ho maintained, would be able, with proper administration, to carry it on ably. (Applauso.) The rising genera tion, he said, must bo educated, and the State would participate in tho benefits ac cruing from an educated population. Still, he believed the duty of tho State ended when children had learnt to read, to cipher, and to write, and had a fair knowledge of geography. It was Only tho children of wealthy parents who took advantage of secondary education, and he saw no roason why the few should bo benefitted at tho exponso of tho many. Mr Lawry next referred to the valuable endow ments held by the Southern provinces, and said he was glad that various candidates were prepared to introduco t bill to secure a fair division for this province. He also promwed to go In for a system of general re trenehu_ont"where it could bo done without impairing efficiency. The property tax, he said, was a retrogressive measure, and fed like a canker worm on tho industry of tho people. He would never tax 'a man's in dustry ; thore was no jußtico in the system. His opponent bolioved in a property tax.and ho did not, and this was where they differed. Even for local purposes there was no justice in such a system, and he would a thousand times sooner see taxes put upon luxuries than upon tho great industry which.was throbbing bo violently beneath present pres sure. The most important question beforo the country was tho land question; it swallowed up every other question. Land would not always be at such a discount as it was now, for by-andby the children now Been teeming out of our schools would got married and would want land to sottle down. The right way to securo it for them was to stop land monopoly. New Zealand, he said, was labouring under a great national debt, but from it he apprehended no serious results ; indeed.the debt might bo made to show the world our worth, when by increased pros perity it could bo wiped off. (Appluuse.) It was the duty of tho Government to acquire and dispose of the lands of the country to the best advantage, and the pro ceeds could go towards relieving the people of taxation. He asked how the lands had been dealt with in tho North, and answered by remarking that what should have been a source of revenue had become a mere matter of private speculation. Speak ing of the pre-emptive right, ho referred to the difficulties placed in tho way of people getting native land, owing to tho bribery practised by large companies, and in the face of this ho said the people were told the lands were in the public market. Before ho would support Mr Bryce's bill ho would have to be satisfied on eeveral points. Ho didn't blame Mr Do Lauteur for trying to get his East Coast Lands Bill through tho Houbo. It was the law that was wrong, and not tho individual The greatest objection he had to Mr Bryce's bill was that it placed the lands after they were acquired in tho hands of Waste Lands Boards, and these boards had' no liability. Governments, ho said, came and went, but land boards were there for ever. Land boards could, in fact, work their will with the pnblio estate, and it was absurd that such power should bo obtained under a system of nominees. As a remedy, ho thought that the land should bo duly sur veyed, and disposed of by public auction, by tender, or by priority of selection. If these boards were to be elective; let them be elected on some broad principle. In tho past, land sharks and land monopolists bod exercised such influence that neither House had withstood their grasping, and it was in cumbent on the people to put a stop to such a pernicious system. He re garded the bona fide settler as the backbone and mainstay of the country, and was of opinion that if he got land from the natives at the same price as the Govern ment he would prosper, and would not labour all his life and spend his strength for nought. Therefore he said let the land be kept fcr the people, and let the proceeds holp to free them from taxation. (Ap plause.) Concerning his opponent he could not but treat him with respect, and ho was merely opposing him because if he 'did not somebody else would. He wes opposing him as one gentleman opposed an- j other. However, he had a perfect right to oppose him, and would try to win by every legitimate means. (Applauso.) So far as local requirements were concerned, ho maintained that he would be even a better \ representative than his opponent. (His|es and applause.) Yesterday, he said, Sir Maurice O'Rorko made a humiliating con fession of bis incapacity in saying that he had been fighting with him (Mr Lawry) for years to get a danger removed from tho Onehunga road. (Applause and hisses.) Well, ho never knew that before. In con cluding he thanked the electors for the re ception given him in Onehunga, and ho promised that, if returned as their repre sentative, they would not havo such a Par liament as they had now. He respected Sir Manriea O'Borke, but would not yield to hint nor any other man living. (Applause.) The candidate having concluded his address, questions were invited, and answered as follows:—(1) He would vote for a grant of L 2.000 being placed on the estimates for the establishment of horti cultural societies, if there were sufficient funds available ; (2) respecting the Manukau Harbour, he would give the people what they wanted, and he wanted them to decide.

Mr P. Lundon cime forward anj-d ap- Slause and great uproar, and moved that Ir Lawry be given a vote of thanks and confidence. He said that everybody must be pleased with the address just given, and then proceeded to make a speech against the opposing candidate. Mr Jackson asked the Chairman whether Mr Lundon was in order.

Tiib Cifairman- asked the audience to vote on the question, and it was decided against Mr Lundon, who retired- Mr James seconded the motion, which waß put to the meeting and carried. Mr La\vry returned thanks, and the meeting separated after giving three cheers for Sir George Grey.

MR F. A. WHITAKER AT HAMILTON.

Hamilton, this day.—Mr Whitaker ad-, dressed the electors of Waipa at the Court tiouse here last eyening, when there was a arge attendance. The speaker said he had waited untl) after the nomination so that he might'be quite clear of the imputation of a dpsire to influence the electors in favour of a'possible candidature by himself. He said three matters involving radical changes of the policj. which the Ministry had hitherto followed were indicated' in the Queen's speech, viz., amalgamation of city constituencies, perpetual leases, and pre

emptive right. He quoted Sir John Hall's speech on the Representation Bill of ISSI, to show that single electorates formed part of tho platform of tho party thon : also his own speeches on tho second point, showing that ho had always opposed porpotual leases; also tho Addross-in-Roply by the Grey Go vernment in 1879, in which practically the same system of selling native lands was ad vocated when on the amendment he had voted with Sir John Hall and Major Atkin son, and tho Grey Ministry was defeated. He had adopted the samo course last session, when the policy indicated was a complete departure from old party linos, Ho pointed out that as soon as tho Premier's Hawera speech was delivered he had called a meeting and intimated that he should oppose the Government on those measures. He showed that tho effect of his speech in April was well understood as a probable withdrawal of his support from the Govern ment, by quoting from the "Herald'"and Star of April loth. It had been said that ho should havo waited till the measures came on, but he considered the support that had been given to the leasing system by the late House prevented tho possibility ot successful opposition to individual measures. These radical changes had been brought in since the last general election, and had not been before the country, and as a dissolution must havo taken place in a short timo, it was far better the country should havo them beforo it beforo thoy bo camo law. Ho said there need not be the slightest fear of the trunk lino. All sides were agreed, as those lately from Welling ton weil knew, that whoever was in power would go on with the work. He said Mr Brycewasastraightforward politician,buthe thought he would never succeed in working tho Native Land Bill. Tho expensos and delays would be too great, nnd it would retard tho advance of settlement in tho North Island. He sat down amid loud cheering. A vote of thanks for his address and services to tho olectors of Waipa .vas carried unanimously.

MR ATKIN AND THE EDEN ELEC TORS.-THE CANDIDATE WITH DRAWS.

Mr Charles Atkin-addressed tho electors of Edon last night in tho Riding School, New North Road. There was a largo atten dance. Tho candidate recapitulated his views on tho various political questions at prosont engaging attention. lie stated that his views wore similar to those of Mr Tolo, with tho oxcoption of the noconfidonco motion against tho Go vomment. Aftor referring to various matters nffocting tho interests of tho Edon electors, the speaker stated that although Mr. O'Neill professed to be a Bupporter of the Government, ho could not bo brought to any understanding with rognrd to ono of them retiring, fie would loavo that gentleman in the hands of tho electors, who, he bolioved, would not olecthim for Eden or for any other seat in tho provincial district. —Mr Atkin then thanked those olectors who had promised to support him, and said ho trusted that on some future occasion ho would bo in a position to sorve the electors. —Mr S. Hirst proposed a veto of thanks to Mr Atkin for his addresses, and in doing so regretted that tho candidate had determined to retire. Ho believed that Mr Atkin would havo been elected if ho had gono to tho poll.—Mr White seconded tho motion, and suggested the advisability of the candidate reconsider, ing tho matter.—Mr Atkin declined to re consider tho matter, as the condition on which ho had como forward had not been complied with. —Tho meeting closed with a vote of thanks to tho Chairman.

This admirable little Company gave a capital performance last night, consisting of Broughton's comedy; "Withered Leaves," by way of lever le rideau, and W. S. Gil bert's aesthetic throe-act comedy, "Fortune's Frolics." The parts were judiciously ap portioned, and were capitally sustained, In fine, tho entertainment provided was amusing to a very high degree, and exceed ingly meritorious.

To-nigHt, ''Aurora. Flpyd" ana "Cta. dorella"

are promised, so that playgoers will have nothing to complain of on tho score of diversity, seeing that the transition is from emotional drama to sidesplitting bur. lesque. A strong cast has been made out for the drama, while the burlesque is said to be one of the most effective pieces in tho Company's repertoire. It bristles with puns and jeux d'esprit, and is interspersed with numerous songs and dances. Such a com bination of attractions should assuredly draw a crowded house.

Mr Charles Atkin.

(To the Editor.)

Sin,—lt is an old saying that " All is fai in lovo and war," and I presumo that it was on this ground Mr Atkiu mado a statement about me behind my back which, I think, it will tax all his ingenuity to provo. After ol liming fcr himßolf credit for getting tho Edon Terrace pond nuisnnco romoved, ho is reported to have said : "As for Mr E\vineton, ho presented a vory largo bill for his share of the work to an impecunious Board, who had vory littlo monoy at thoir disposal, Tho charge was for a very small service rendered by him, for which ho de manded payment, although hp was a resi dent in tho district." Now, Ido not be lieve that Mr Atkin, in his cool moments, would intentionally say what is untrue, but I will give double tho amount charged to any charitablo or other organisation which ho may nominate if ho will prove that I ever made tho charge which ho al leges. I cannot say fuir*r than this. It will give him tho opportunity of benefitting some useful organisation, or sayiug : " Mr Ewington, I, as a Christian man, am sorry I tried to stab you behind your back, bo cause you dared to say your soul was your own, and support Mr Tolo as a better man than myself for our district."—F, G.

(To the Editor.)

Sin,—After Mr Gcorgo had badly abused Mr Moss last night in the Symonds-strect School-room, tho audience must havo had Moss on tho brain, for whon ono gentleman got up and proposed a vote of thanks nnd confidence, ho did it in Mr Mobs's name, afterwards correcting himself (this caused great laughter). But whon another gentle man got up to second tho motion, ho also mado use of Mr Moss's name instead of Mr George's, this doublo event causing greater laughter still. But, sir, it seriously oc curred to my mind that tho still, small voice of conscience had forced theso goitflo men to say:—"For Parnell—Mops is tho man — not George." — J am, otc, Old Identity.

Dunn on " Physiognomy," or "How to Read Character and Disposition from the Features." Rev. W. S. Potter presided, and the proceedings were opened with the Chairman's remarks, and the singing of a hymn from the new collection, Mr W, Carlaw presiding at the harmonium. The lecturer rapidly glanced at the opinions of the learned men of Greece and Rome down to Lavater and other eminent physiogno mists, and to the present day. He believed that the science was but yet in its infancy, and went on to show its usefulness in enabling persons to read the character in the face. Nature is ever true to herself, and as the intelligent, practical farmer can judge of the character and capabilities of land, so tho character of the man is re flected in his face. The lecturer gave inter esting sketches from life of the different ladles who visit the draper's shop, viz., the bargain - hunter, with a weakness for damaged goods; the high-minded lady, selfishly proud, who must have high-price i goods-cheap goods were adious in her eyes; the philoprogenitive, with a love for childrpn, wno conefriers the draper "anite little man," who fondles tho little ones, and secures the loving mother for a customer j thep there was the grateful old soul, who, despite the loss of her husband and child, said the Lord was still' kind to her In leaving her two front' teetfr, A number of equally amusing sketches were given, which Imoved the iaugh'ter and tears of the large audience. The second part of the lecture was devoted to the-heads and noses of individuals whoso names - live in history, art; science; and song, : By special request, Mr Dunn will 'shortly repeat his amusing lecture at the Noil-ton Ha'tl,-' and which, as an old lady with a long nose said last night, " will bo as good as a play."

Alfred Warbrick v. Tliomns Wells.— Claim, Jj'22 damages.—Mr Griffiths op poured for plaintiff; tho dofendant appeared personally.—The plaintiff, who Is a boot builder, was engaged by the Dovonport Naval Brigado to build a rowing gig, the value about LGO. Having completed the building of tho boat ready for delivery, thoro yet remained to bo dono tho painting of a gold streak runningjfrom stem to storn, ono on bine ground, lie engaged tho services of tho'defendant to do the job. It was claimed, however, that ho did it in such a very unworkmanliko mnnnor, that the oflipors of tho brigade refused to tako tho boat. Tho plajntiff then complained to tho dofendant about his work, ana asked him to roctify. Thodefondantadmittedthat he had not painted tho streak properly, and said that ho would send an experienced linor to do the job again. Tho linor did not show up, and after the lapso of livo days the plain tiff told tho dofendant ho would got some body olse to do tho work. As he still took no action, plaintiff ongagod Charles Hooker to paint the streak, and it was done by him in a satisfactory mannor. Tho boat was then ready for delivery. In the meantime tho plaintiff was called away to Tauranga, and tho defendant went into his workshop during his absence and daubed tho gold streak painted by Hooker over with thick brown paint. This necessitated tho work being dono pver again by Hooker, and also involved further delay. Jfonc'e tho claim. —The plaintiff sworp to the partipulars out lined abovo, and Messrs Hooker, Janiicsoji, Fenton, and Dacre gave corroborative evi dence.—The dofendant, in his defence, stated that ho painted the streak according to instruction., and that he would have rectified it. The only excuse alleged for daubing the streak over after, it had been painted was that because one man painted his work over he considered he had a li.'ht to paint another man's work over, as he had not completed the job. Mr Watt also gave ovidence as to paintors' charges.—This being the defendant's case, Mr Griffiths submitted that, on the evidence the plaintiff should recover judgment for tho cost of the actual damage, and some thing In excess for the vindictive and re vengeful conduct of defendant.—His Wor ship, ho-vyever, without making nny com ' ment, gave judgment for' ±2, without costs.
