ANGLO-COLONIAL NOTES.

[KEOM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT.]

London, April 24,

Stoats and Woazols for N.Z. Tin; Doric, which sails for Auckland and Southern ports to-day, takos out a vory curious consignment to your Government, in the shape of about 100 stoats and weazels, which have been trapped in various parts of Lincolnshire by a man named Allboncs, a professional vermin catcher, who ac companies his pots to their destination. You may remember this man started with a similar number of "rabbit oxter minators" last year, but they were all washed overboard in a gale save 10, which (according to Allboncs) did extraordinary execution when landed in the colony. The food for the present consignment consists of 1,500 live pigeons, who, in their turn, are likely to eat about £28 worth of grain. All bones receives 5s a-piece for every weazel or stoat ho traps, but they will have cost the Government more than £1 a-piece before thoy are set free in N.Z., even supposing they all survive the voyage, which isn't likely. The Duke of Albany and the Colonies. One of the clerks In tho Colonial Office tells me that the truth re the late Duke of Albany's application for a colonial gover norship was as follows : —When Lord Nor mnnby resigned Victoria, Prince Loopolcl applied to Mr Gladstone for the post. The Premier did not refuse It, but said tho Vic torian Agent-General (Mr Murray Smith) must be consulted as to the probable feelings of the colony upon such a selection. Mr Murray Smith's reply was eminently favour able, and Mr Gladstone then expressed his willingness to gratify H.R.H. 's wishes. Un fortunately at this crisis tho Queen inter vened with an unqualified refusal, on the grounds that tho Duke was quite unfitted for such an arduous and often anxious vice-royalty as Victoria. Eventually, how ever, she gave way so far as to agree that the Prince should be appointed to either Queensland, South Australia, or New Zea and when a vacancy occurred. Tho Obnoxious Circular. The Otago Council of Trades Unionists (if that is their correct designation) have set a ball rolling with their precious warn ing circular to the English Labour Unions which it will be very difficult indeed to stop. One can scarcely take up a provincial paper nowadays without seeing the matter alluded to from an alarmist point of view. Floods of correspondence have been let loose on the press from returned failures who couldn't get on In New Zealand, and blame tho colony for it, and they all join in tho same " Cuckoo " cry—" The place is overdone." During the last few days I havo been specially struck with the amount of mischief that has already been achieved. Small capitalists are being rapidly scared away. Mr Kennaway says so, Captain Ashby says so, the brokers say so, whilst I happen absolutely to have come across two cases. They were young men, the sons of a Scotch gentleman farmer, and worth £2,000. Two months ago they resolved to go out to Otago and try their luck there. Everything was settled, when one of them came across tho Trades Unionist circular in a Leeds "Mercury." He showed it to his brother, and after talking the matter over they mado up their minds to try Canada instead. The other evening I met one brother out at dinner, and heard the whole story, which naturally made me smile. " Ah !" he said, "it's all very well for you to laugh. You know the country, and can guage a circular like that at its true value, i but we didn't, and it seemed an insane thing for us to risk our little all in a colony that, according to the inhabitants them selves, is already suffering from depression, and may become worse."

The only paper I have seen which seems to see through the circular is a Birming ham one. This journal, the " Post," says :—" This is the sort of resolution and censure which Trades Councils in every country where they have found a home themselves are always sending to England. There is not a settlement whero there are only two mechanics in which they do not protest against tho arrival of a third, and declare the labour market overstocked. All the while in many places new enterprise, which means a greater demand for labour, is prevented because labour is kept away. It ought to be noticed by the public that this New Zealand resolution speaks of a policy being carried out by the Govern ment, but they do not say what Govern ment—whether their own or the English. This ambiguity is misleading here."

THE EDEN ELECTORATE.

Mr J. A. Tole, M.H.R., Beforo His

Constituents.

The report of Mr J. A. Tole's address to his constituents in the Newton Athenreum on Monday evening, which was crowded out of our last issue, is here appended.

Mr Joseph Wabben was called to the chair, and briefly introduced the speaker of the evening, who was warmly received.

Mr Tole began by accepting his cordial reception by the audience as testimony to the fact that he was still in full accord with them. His appearance on the platform that evening was in soma form for the purpose of a kind of political hand-shaking with his con stituents before taking his departure to engage irt what he believed would prove to be a short and eventful session. He had no political offences to ex plain and excuse, and nothing to defend. Neither would he weary them with a re cital of what had happened last^ session, because he believed the electors took care to post themselves up in good time with the progress of Parliamentary business. As the people were the source of power, it was for them to remedy the defects of legislative bodies and institutions. For that reason he hailed with pleasure the growth of political organisations such as Trades and Labour Councils, etc. He took credit to himself as being one of the party which had succeeded in passing]the Triennial Parliaments Bill—a most inconvenient Bill to members, but a measure of retributive justice to the people themselves. Thoy were now on the eve of another general election, and he tookthejop portunity to commune with them before again committing to their hands the honour which they conferred upon him two years ago—an honour for which he would never cease to be grateful. As he had already remarked, he did not propose to recapitulate tho work of the session and explain how they came to pass SO bills of public import ance, and how they came to fail in passing 100 bills of much greater importance. After referring with gratification to the passing of tho vote of £4,000 for the establishment of the Auckland Uni versity Council, and expressing his opinion that while matters were determined in Wellington tho people hero would never get satisfaction, he declared his intention of sticking to Eden so long as Eden stuck to him. At tho last election he was returned as an independent member if he chose, but the term was a misnomer, for every member had perforce to identify himself with some party. Still, he was under a pledge to no man or party, and could cross the floor of the House when he chose. He avowed him self, however, a member of tho party of In vincible Consistency. When he entered into political life, in 1870, he enlisted under tho Grey banner, and was still proud to be there. Sir George Grey was still a groat political fact, and the natural leader of the Opposition, as well as of the people, notwithstanding much opprobrium and newspaper obloquy. So long as Sir George Grey remained true to his principles—a thing he did not doubt— so long would he remain true to him, bound not by an electoral pledge, but by ties of affection. First and foremost among the questions to be discussed next session was that of the main trunk railway of the North Island. Three routes were proposed —the eastern, western, and central. The first had evidently been dismissed from consideration, and he declared at once that the central route was an immeasurably disadvantageous one, and no Auckland member should be found supporting it. (Appl-use.) He had taken tho trouble to make careful inquiries from practical and experienced men on the features of the two routes, and he had learnt that the central route was 50, 60, or 100 miles longer than the western route, and consequently moro costly to construct; the country from Te Awamutu until Wellington province was reached was absolutely barren, while it en joyed not more than two months of summer in the year. It would never carry a large population, and the adoption of such a route, therefore, would be simply mon strous. It meant to Auckland the taxation of its people for the construction of a line which would enable Wellington to drain the rich and fertile province of Taranaki, and wo should, therefore, oppose it tooth and nail. Ho had heard that the Meat Freezing Company would use their influence in it favour because they were interested in the

Murimotu country, but they should ' hardly be so blind to their own_i interests as to send their whole business to Wellington. The advantages .' ol tho western route woro that it was much shorter, and therefore cheaper; -that it ran through splendid country adnr>ted for settle ment, and that it would bring Auckland into communication with its natural neigh bour Taranaki. He regarded tlio explora tion by surveyors and tho Minister of Public Works as valueless, and thought that practi cal and dispassionate agriculturists were ;• the best fitted to report upon tho two routes. ; The next important question was the Go-, vernment's proposed policy with respect, to the sale of native lands which by, the ' Sir George Grey claimed ."as his -own and which he himself had advocated r fivo years ago •at New-market. The Government, in their .wisdom, had taken it up on the ovo of a gonearl elec tion in order to catch a few votes, H& would reserve his decision upon it until he had seen it, because it "was a most important matter. We ought as far as possible promote the roaring of store cattle in the North, and then export in large num bers. It would be a most profitable in dustry, and the Government would, be warranted in granting a bonus to any gentleman who would export a shipment of store cattle to England or any other \ country. It was an industry that deserved to be encouraged. He would decline to l support the federation proposals of the Sydney Conference, for they were too suspiciously mixed up with the labour ques tion. He believed in such a Federal Bill as Sir George Grey had introduced, but he would oppose anything aiming covertly at ■ a restriction of our liberties. The whole. systemof railway administration was wrong, j*> and needed reform. For instance,- Is 6d per 100 ft. was charged for the carriage of, timber from Helensvillo .to Auckland, . and Is lOd per 100 ft. for its carriage from . Helensville to Mount Eden -station—it I shorter distance. This was one of the many anomalies of the tariff. Still he wonld not be ono to assist in turning out the Ministry >■ upon the increase of the Canterbury grain charges. Mr Vaile's scheme was deserving of consideration, and he had introduced it > to Parliament last session, but, through pressure of business, it did not receive con sideration. He was convinced of its feasl- • bility, and thought it should receive at least a year's trial. When a man like Mr Vaile ,'. devoted time and trouble to the solution of such a problem, he should not be so severely 3 reviled and criticised by the press. With* regard to taxation he would vote for the repeal of the property tax, and the Imposi tion of a land tax, as it would assist in getting at fat lawyers and well-to-do pro perty-owners. He would also support the amalgamation of city constituencies, for the ' reason that it would deal a heavy blow at plural voting, and extend the j.rinciple of manhood suffrage. He was convinced of theinutilify ■ ' ■•■" T-".;-'r>- t'V. Council, and would even vote ioi ;_> abolition, but ha thought the real cure was contained in Sir George Grey's Plebiscite Bill for the refer, ence to the people of disputed questions between the Houses. There was one sub ject of transcendent importance to which c he wished to invite attention, viz., the - question of local self-government, and the! entire re-organisation of our political insti-' tutions. Every road and bridge in* the colony had to be considered in Wellington, and the result was never satisfactory. ~; It t was absurd that out of a population of half . a-million 95 members should regularly meet' to discuss 150 bills. The number should ■ be reduced one-half, and the honorariums also cut down. Then the system of whole sale deputationising of Ministers—the direct result of this system of centralisation—was not only a huge farce, but a humiliation to the members who had thus to wait upon Ministers for the purpose of introducing deputations of their constituents to the great men's presence. Everything was cut and dried beforehand, just as it was with applications under the Roads and1 Bridges Act. Parliament was unable to gdt through the work set before it, and for this reason three bills which he had introduced; for the benefit of his constituents were' shelved. One was the Libel Bill, privileging' the press to report proceedings at publio' meetings ; the Juries Bill, abolishing that T huge farce the Grand Jury, and providing for the payment of common and coroners'' jurors, and the Contempt of Courts Bill, dei privingjudges of the arbitrary power of imprisoning journalists for presuming to criticise their proceedings. There was no. chance, however, for the discussion of such' large questions while Parliament was almost choked with local bills. At presentr everything went by favour, and the sup porters of the Government received more consideration from Ministers than their op- ( ' ponents. They had now passed so many laws that they had to devote their attention to the passing of Consolidation Billt which prolonged Parliament and exhausted the members' patience and honorariums. The system was vicious, and asa result our lawif were very defective. A coach and four1 could be driven through the Bankruptcy Act, and the Supreme Court Judicature Act had also large gaps which could not be filled, and rendered it unworkable. Under this Act, too, tho Supreme Court fees had just been doubled and trebled, despite'the Government's professions to give simple and cheap laws. We should * have the control of our own taxation, railways, and resources, and if this were granted we should hare no need for national insurance schemes cir proposals for the relief of pauperism. The cure lay with the people themselves. By the destruction of centralism we should have a united colony, asopposed to a disintegrated one, and the control of our own destinies. The restoration of the power of managing our own affairs should be our political dream and the aspiration of our hearts He exhorted them, therefore, to~ let the desire for local self-government be the latent force behind all their agitation. The gentleman resumed his seat amid general applause.

St. Jacob's Oil Invincible. ! (To the Editor of Kvkninq Stir.) ' Dear Sir,—l wish to add my testimony to tha eflkacy of the great Gorman remedy, St. Jacobs Oil. Your columns have contained, from time to time, expressions of gratitude from persona of known respectability, and havinp: satisfied .my self of the genuineness of th« cures effected, I obtained a bottle, scarcely hoping it would sue ' ceed in relieving mo. For the past seven months I have suffered Beverely from a pain ful attack of sciatica, which, in spito of the most able treatment on the part of my medi cal adviser, continued to hold its own in my system. Mr Bleep at last begau to be affected, and my whole system very much reduced. Tha most careful treatment failed to Rive me relief, and I then applied nearly every advortised remedy. The sciatica was principally located in my left thigh, and the pain at timos was most exemciating. In spite of the most thorough applications, and the great est care and attention on my part, ■ <)b ---tained no appreciable relief, aud at last, t*> i forlorn hopo; I determined to apply St. Jacobs Oil, and from that time the pain began to diminish. My Bleep soon returned, and each application afforded me relief. At first I re garded the cessation from pain as only a temporary one, scarcely daring to hopo that the euro was complete; But I have gratefully to acknowledge that I am now free from pain-in fact, a man again. I must oonfeas t'nat I tried the Oil in abso lute despair. I had had no sleep for three or four.niifhts previously, and my system was very low. The success, however, is complete, and I again tender my grateful acknowledgments to the proprietors of the Oil, and 9hall ever continue to recommend it to every sufferer who cornea within rango of my influence. What medical skill failed to do St. Jacob's Oil efr-oted, and I regard it as tne greatest boon of the age. lam, dear Sir. - Yours faithfully, John Lib. Ashbourno, Mudgee, No f ember 12,1883. • THE PAIN ENTIRELY LEIT. " Clarence Cottage, " Thomos-stroct, Balrnain, "21st August, 1883. " Publishers Evening Stab, " Dear Sirs,—About a fortnight ago I had » severe attack of rhuematism in my back, whicn srave mo na end of pain aud trouble. I used St. Jacob's Oil, and in one or two applications the pain entirely left. Sinco then I have had occa sion to uso the Oil on a badly-sprained wrist, and its effect was simply magical. Jly wife has used it for neuralgia in the head, with equally satisfactory results. I consider St» Jacob's Oil a valuable preparation, and shall not only use it in my own house, but Bhall recom mend my friends to do so. " Yours truly, "W. P. BOOTH, IT CONQUERS PAIN.
