THE PREMIER'S POLITICAL TOUR.

Stormy Mooting at Chrlstohuroh.

(IIV TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

Christchurch, Sunday. The meeting held in the Tuam-streot Hall to hear Major Atkinson's address on Satur day night was tho largest political meeting that has taken place in Christchurch since Sir George Grey's visit five years ago. The hall holds some 2,500 people, and was unusually packed, all classes being repre sented. The Mayor, Mr Hulbert, occupied tho chair, and on tho platform were several M.H.R.'s and members of the City Council.

Major Atkinson entered the hall at seven o'clock, and was received with hisses and groans, mingled with a little applause. Tho Chairman requested the meeting, for the honour of tho city, to give the Premier a patient hearing. | {Major Atkinson's speech was mainly a recapitulation of his utterances at Hawera and Dunedin. He remarked that on account of .ho state of public feeling in Christchurch ho had come to explain his actions. If the people censured him he could bear it. If they would not hear him he would go away, but with a feeling that he had at all events done his duty in coming. Referring to the land question, he said that Canterbury had received more of the proceeds of the land than it had any right to, for the province had for a long time lived upon tho land fund, which was thus provincialised, instead of being colonised. He contended that had Government called Parliament together on account of the probable deficit, instead of meeting it by re storing the railway rates to their former position, a blow would have been inflicted on the credit of the colony which it would have taken years to recover from, and which would have caused the Oppesition to accuse Government of shirking responsibility to obtain political support. Parliament would not now return to tho old rates. Even Mr Montgomery's followers would not permit that. A local Railway Board for each Island would be worse than the present system. Since his Hawera speeoh he had found that the deficit in the year's revenue would be about £152,000, instead of £170,000. The advances outstanding this year were £40,000, as against £70,000 last year, which meant that the actual deficit would be something over £120,000. He considered that Government had done a great deal of good by improving the position of the colony in the money market. Tho Premier received a round of applause at the conclusion of his speech, but he was not allowed to proceed without much inter ruption. For the first half hour every re mark called forth signs of disapprobation. When he was ex plaining the observations he made at Hawera about the prevailing depres sion, the tumult became so great that he was obliged to cease. Mr John Matthews, well known as the leader of a former unemployed agitation, came forward tojappea! for a fair hearing for the speaker, but was groaned down. A ter some further confusion, the Mayor managed to quiet the audience, and the speecli proceeded under a running fire of interruptions, a good deal of the disturbance being occasioned by a half-drunken man. Tho climax of disorder was reached when the Premier, after a rather prolonged bout of hooting from the audience, said that he would like to talk plainly to two or three of those who were interrupting him. He could only judge them by their looks, and his experience taught him that in every town there wasaclassof men known a_ "loafers." This remark drew forth a perfect storm of disapprobation. The hooting and groaning were redoubled. Several voices called out ".Apologise" The Chairman asked the audience, for the credit of the city, to give the Premier a hearing, but the attempt of Major Atkinson to speak caused additional uproar, which lasted for ten minutes, when Mr Daniel Reese, a popular member of the City Council, restored order by appealing to the people not to let it be said that the Premier of New Zealand had come to ad dress a Canterbury audienoe and had been refused a hearing. He also reminded them if tho meeting was broken up they would lose the opportunity of making a fitting ex pression of disapproval of the Minister's acts. The Premier was then allowed to proceed with less interruption than before. After the conclusion of his remarks, a number of questions were asked, and Mr Guinness moved "That this meeting has no confidence in the present Ministry." Mr Daniel Reese seconded tho motion, which was carried, about two-thirds of those present voting for it, and some dozen against it. Cheers were then given for Mr Wakefield and Sir G. Grey, and the meeting dispersed.

REV. JERVOIS ON RELIGIOUS TEACHING IN SCHOOLS.

St. Matthew's was crowded to its fullest extent last evening through our announce ment of the intention of the Rev. H. H. Jervois, M.A, (son of His Excellency the Governor), to preach there on behalf of the Schools Renovation Fund. Perhaps the fact of this probably being the last sermon of the rev, gentleman before leaving for England tended somewhat to increase a congregation which we fully anticipated would be large; extra sitting accommodation having to be provided for many. The ser vice throughout was more than usually impressive, and we were pleased to observe that the decorations which have been so universally «dmired have not yet been re moved. Appropriate hymns were sung, and the beautiful anthem, "Break Forth Into Joy, "was fully rendered by the choir, the con gregation heartily accepting the invitation to join their voices in the concluding words, which were taken from a most popular Easter hymn. The text preached from was the 11th verse of the 10th ohapter of St. John's Gospel, " I nm tho Good Shepherd— the Good Shepherd Gireth His Life for the Sheep." At the conclusion of an eloquent discourse on these words, the rev. gentle man made the following interesting remarks with regard to the object of his occupying the pulpit: — "This parish kept on its schools, its church day schools, at the time that the present system of education was started in the colony, when almost evory other parish gave them up. Now, surely this is a great glory for any parish, mid if you think it so you ought to do your best to keep up the credit of the parish in that respect. And why should you be anxious to do so . Because where education and religion are not separated, as they are, to our sorrow, in the schools supported by tho State, education in this school is still grounded on religion, the sheep of the fold are still taught the love of tho Good Shepherd as part and parcel of their educa tion. Education not grounded on religion cannot stand the test of time: it is only that which is so grounded that can. It must be grounded on belief in God, as He reveals himself in Jesus Christ. Re ligion must not come in as a more accident, as so many people think, but education must be grounded on it, or else what are we doing ? We are merely educating intellects, only one part of the man, leaving out altogether another part. Wo are simply educating men to bo clever without doing so in the principles which should guide and balance that cleverness. We are leaving out the principles of love, of self-denial, of upright doing of duty whatever it may cost. And only in the long run can the example of Christ the Good Shepherd teach that." Here followed an appeal for funds, which we doubt not was satisfactorily responded to.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Typhoid Fever.

(To the Editor.)

Sib,—ln view of the prevalence of typhoid fever in certain parts of our community, coupled with the fact of the existence of an open sower in Stanley-street, a few well ascertained facts relative to the germs of this disease may be useful to your readers. I condense them chiefly from a very able article in the February nnmber of the " Nineteenth Century," by Dr. \V. B. Carpenter, on "The Germ Theory of Zymotic Diseases." Having discoursed at some length upon the origin, nature, and diffusion of the cholera germ, and having described a spontaneous outbreak of this fell disease in the City Poor-house of Balti more, U.i-., unaccountable upon the theory of pre-existing local germs, Dr. Carpenter proceeds: "The conditions of the spread of typhoid or enteric fever are closely analogous to those of tho diffusion of cholera Because typhoid germs, when introduced into the human system, breed and multiply within it, and, when voided from the in testine, may be conveyed by the water into which they have found their way into the bodies of other persons, who then become subjects of the disease, it does not follow that the human body is their only breeding ground, or that water is their only vehicle On the contrary, those who have moat

carefully studied the subject are now generally agreed that when typhoid germs have been discharged into sewers they not only infect their contents' but so develop themselves under favouring conditions (especially warmth, stagnation and seclusion from the air), as to give rise to an enormous increaso of the contagi-um In the case of diffusion of typhoid fever by milk—let us look to our dairymen— tho germs introduced by the con taminated water used in washing the milk-cans so rapidly multiply by self development in the fresh milk put into these cans as to communicate the disease to many persons in places quite apart from each other. . . . Typhoid germs may be drawn into the body by the inhalation of aewer-gas—orfromcesspoolseitherstagnant overflowing, or recently uncovered, The primal seat of enteric fever is in the blood • and when disease germs are inhaled into the air-cells of the lungs, they have a far more ready access to the blood spread out in the closest capillary network on their walls than when introduced with food or drink into the alimentary canal. While every, thing ought to be done to preserve our domestic water supply from contamination and to secure the purity of its sources (well' timed advice to our City Fathers), and to disinfect not only tho exreta of cholera and typhoid patients, but everything soiled by them, we must remember the danger of breathing air which is foul with effluvia knowing the probability of such foul air being loaded with disease germs." As we in Auckland have not as yet any scheme of seweage utilisation, it is our obvious duty to have the main outlets open into the har bour below low-water mark,—Yours, &c, J. Murray Moore, M.D., M.R.C.S. April 28, 1884.

Watson for the championship of Australia 208, Elizabeth-street North, Melbourne, Victoria^ • 23rd November, 1883. To the Editor Auckland Evening Stab.' Dear Sir,—l ...sire to add my cheerful endorse ment of the good effects I have at all times re ceived from tho use of St Jacob's Oil when in active training and racing. During my recent 6 dayß' contest held in the Melbourne Exfiibi tion Building for £500 and the championship of the Australian and adjacent colonies, it woo my boon companion. I continually used it before and after each daj_ performance, and the re sults simply astonished me. After riding for 8 consocuti ye hours each day, viz., from half-past 2 until half-past 10, my limbs would become sore and stiff from over-exertion, but after being well-rubbed with the oil all muscular pain immediately vanished and I felt as fresh as ever. As proof positive.after tho contest was over, I rode 10 > milc3 against time before a pub lic audience and accomplished it in 6 hours H minutes 451 seconds. AnotherappbcatlonofSt. Jacob's Oil was made, and it removed all feel. iugs of fatigue and I felt perfectly fit for another . race. Am positive it aided me to win thematoh, and I shall never enter a similar contest without - bicycle and St. Jacob's Oil. I strongly advise all " wheelmen" and other athletes to give it a trial, and feel fully con vinced their experiences will compare favour ably with my own, I remain, dear Sir, Yours truly, " John Rows. ■ cricket. ■ DAVID SCOTT, Esq., of the Arm of Messrs Boyle and Scott, Cricket and Football Depto, Melbourne, Victoria.—" St, Jacob's Oil re lieved meat once of pain.
