THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1885.

For the cause that looks anslstanoe, For the wrong that noods rosiatanc*, For the future In tho dlstanoo. And the good that we can do.

No scheme professing to solve the problem of poverty, and to give to each man the full value of his earnings without deduction, should be passed by without examination. This is the question of the day, and when people are turning in thousands to communism and nihilism for the removal of the evils which they see and feel, it is the duty of men whose intelligence tells them that present conditions will not be re formed by producing anarchy, nor pros perity created by destroying wealth, to assist in providing safer and more reasonable remedies. Mr \V. L. Rees is now makisg a lecturing tour of the colony for the purpose; of advertising such a specific, and although the former scheme with which Mr Rees's name has been very intimately associated, will hardly be claimed by himself as having realised the original promises and expec tations, but has rather operated in exactly the opposite direction by lock ing up an enormous area of land in the hands of one company, it would be wrong to dismiss his new proposals without honest and fair consideration. Divested of all verbiage, the scheme consists in the application of principles of co-operation to land. We believe that none of the many panaceas for emancipating labour lias accomplished so much as co-operation. Mr W. E. Forstcr, who represents the opinions of moderate Liberalism in England, has' lately been preaching from this text nnddeclaringittobethe true antidote for communism. Addressing the Bradford Co operative Societya monthor two ago, lie said.—" In 1562, the number of members belonging to co-operative societies in Great Britain was 90,000, whilst in iSBr the number had risen to 643,000. The capital in 1562 was .£428,000, but now it was^7,ooo,ooo. The sales in 1862 -were .__ 2,333,000, but now they reached although the Civil Service stores, which were included in the returns now, no doubt accounted for a million or two of the money. On that sum there were close upon two million pounds profit divisible amongst the members." No one who has studied the question will undervalue the power of co-operation as an organising and producing agent, nor deny that land furnishes an admir able material to operate upon. Still it must not be forgotten that individual ownership affords the most complete and tempting of all fields of labour. A man who takes up a piece of freehold virgin land gathers all the fruits of his own labour, and the increment of value from improvement and from the rise in the selling price of land. No co-operative scheme can give him more than that; Mr Rees's proposal would give him less, it being a part of his plan to distribute a share cf the profits among the purchasers of the produce.

The question, however, in its first elements, really narrows itself into this—could a number of men joining together—say, for example, 20 nun taking up 2,000 acres of land as a Joint Stock Company, farm it more profitably than if the same men each took up 100 acres in individual holdings ? In both cases they would first of all have to overcome the difficulty of a capital fund, to purchase the land and pay ex penses until it became reproductive; after that it would bi a mere question of economical and skilful management. Probably 2,000 acres, using machinery and all the appliances of modern farm ing, and worked with all the energy which freeholders put on to their 100 acre sections, would produce very much more than the twenty separated sec tions. Co-operation wisely and firmly directed would be a distinct gain in power; but there are obvious draw backs. A large farm will not employ the same number of labourers all the year round, and though it may yield a very handsome income to one landed pro prietor employing lubour as required for the operations of each season, it is questionable if it would do much for twenty partners. The first capital, which is a difficulty, might perhaps be procured by philanthropy; though it would probably come in practice to the less sentimental process of a mortgage over the freehold ; but capital so obtained would not be furnished on other than the current rates, nor would it submit its share of the profits thus secured to the process of-subdivision. Although these obstacles crop up on the surface of the undertaking, ond one can see that the superabundance of labour in cities is not the best material to start co-operative farms with, we should like to see the land settled by any process. There are many circum stances in which men may find it to their benofit to combine their capital in money and labour in taking up land together, and Mr Rees's plan of work ing under the Joint Stock Companies Act seems to afford advantages for the management of such joint ventures. That the scheme,—however skilfully managed—will, within a reasonable period of time, revolutionise society, give universal employment, and lead to the building of great towns, is a forecast of its mission which only a very fervid imagination can grasp; but that co-operative farming may be well worthy of the attention of the colonists is another and totally different matter, and one upon which we should hesitate to pronounce an unfavourable opinion.

The cuble news from all quarters to-day

sofa most disquieting character. The inergy in tho British dockyards and other var preparations prove that tho Govorn nent regard the situation as serious, md have little faith in the peaceful ssue of the pending diplomatic negotia ions with Russia. Tho suggestion of ilohammedan notables that an alliance. vith the Sultan would strengthen England among the Mohammedans of ndia in her struggle against Russia eems to be a weighty one; such ,n alliance' would, no doubt, be easily fleeted. From the Soudan we are warned hat the Arabs will resist General Graham's dvance from Suakim inch by inch—men, romen, and children joining together in tho ' holy war.' To add to the troubles of the lovernment, Sir Ilorculcs Robinson, lovernor of Cape Colony and High lorami-sioner of the native territories, if agrees with Colonel Warren's measures >r the pacification of Bechuanaland, nd the Boers, who equally disapprove, aye taken the Government surveyors cap :ve.

We understand that the Union Steam-1 ship Company intend withdrawing the Horo from the trade betwoen Fiji arid Melbourne, finding that, owing to the / sovoro protective tariff adopted by Victoria, 1 it is impossible to establish a paying trado.

Warbriok, Stichbury, Warbriok, and Lccdham.

It would almost appear that thoro is a groat scarcity of labour in Auckland just now. About a fortnight ago tho Birkon bead Road Board oponod tenders on smull sectors for road works in their district, on which it is intoncled to oxpond £2,500, nnd only throe tondora wore received, thus necessitating frosli tondors boing callod for, Thoao aro to bo in by Saturday noxt, at noon, por advertisement, whon it is to bo hoped thoro will bo fair competition for tho various sections or for tho wholo job.

The coal hulk Senator was discharging at tho Sugar Company's Wharf on Tuesday evoning whon it waa discovered some of the cargo, of which sho had two or threo hundred tons, wub on firo. Tho Sugar Company's hoso was brought into use im mediately, and on the following morning an augur holo was boredjust below the water lino. This spoedily put an end to all danger of tho vessel being destroyedand thodamage sustained was very slight indeed. Our morning contemporary created somo sensa tion this morning by publishing a sensational account of this affair, which ooncluded with tho following ridiculous statement:—"At about ten o'clock it was ovident that there was no hope of saving the vessol, conse quently holes were cut in the vessel, and in a very short time she Bank in about 16 or 20 feet of water. The hulk lies in an awk ward poeition off the Coal Wharf at Birken hoad, and it will pot be without some difficulty and expense that she will be again raiced." Tho fact of the matter ia that tho Senator nover was evon. near sinking, neither docs she lie in an an "awkward poeition," consequently there will not be any difficulty or expenditure of money required to "raise her."

Special trains aro announced to run to To Papa on March 28th for the Onehunga races.

To tho Editor : Sir,—l am surprised to sep that the managor of tlio railway is not ofi'ering moro inducements to town people to go to tho country to spond tho Easter holidays —say from Friday to Monday. At present, the only trains advertised are to leave Auckland at 11.30 on Friday, and leavo To Awamutu at 10.10 on Monday, so that" to persons wanting to go to the Waikato, both days are lost in travelling. What I would suggest would bo that the Friday train leave earlier, say 9 o'clock, nnd a late train from the Waikato on Mon day, thus giving threo cloar days in tho country.—l am, etc., Qu._lS_r-STI.EKT,

Late yesterday afternoon, the workmen engaged in the demolition of St. Paul's Church discovered tho foundation stone of the building under tho eastern wall.

There was also a copy of the "New Zealand Herald" and "Auckland Gazette" of July 2_tb, 18.1, No. 3, Volumo 1, and a piece of parchment shrivelled and faded to such an extent that tho writing is undecipherable. It was apparent that the cavity in tho stone had been too small originally, or that too much mortar had been plnccd over it, thus causing the break ing of the glass in the bottle, and the con sequent damage of the parchment by damp. The foundation stone was laid by Governor Hobson on Wednesday, July 28th, 1841.

NARROW ESCAPE AND GAL LANT RESCUE.

'Ox tho 10th of March two children named Frank Mahoney, four years old, and Loonard Mahonoy.two yoars old, woro play ing on the wharf at Mercor, whon one of them fell into tho wator, pulling the other after him. The fall was observed by Mr Williamson, agent of tho Waikato S.N.C., and J. Lochie, one of tlio railway employes. Mr Williamson jumped into a boat lying alongside tho wharf, and Mr Lochio, who is a good swimmor, jumped into the river with all his clothes on, and swam after the boy Frank who was drifting down the stream, and had sunk beforo the swimmer could reach him. Mr Lochio dived, and succeeded in getting hold of tho child. He brought him ashore in an insonsiblo condition, and banded him over to his mother who lives within a few yarda of the wharf,and had in tho meantime hoard of the accident. Mr Lochie then returned to tbe river, and as sisted Mr Williamson in rescuing the othor boy, Leonard, who had got under the wharf. They got him ashore safoly, and quite sensible. Frank had to be rubbed with brandy, and placod in hot blankets, and put to bed. After a few hours he appeared little tho worse of his immersion. A number •f the neighbours, including Mra Porter and Mrs Campbell, were assiduous in thoir efforts to comfort the mother, and assisting her to resuscitate the boy, Mrs Mahoney is tho widow of Patrick Mahoney, lato of the Tolograph Department, who died five months ago. Great credit is due to Mr Lochio for his courago in jumping into the river without divesting himself of any clothing. But. for this promptitude the boy Frank would undoubtedly have been drowned.

ALLEGED FRAUDULENT DANK RUPTCY.

Before Mr Justice Gillios, sittlngin bankruptcy to-day, an application was mado for the oom. mittal of James Clark, of Te Aroha (a debtor), In respect of a misdomeanour, viz., tho alleged fraudulent concealment of a portion of his estate. The debtor having been placed in the witness box by Mr Cave (who appeared for the Official Assignee), the roport of tho Trustee was read. Inter alia, it mado the following statement of the oircumstanoes under whioh action was being taken:—"Somo fow weoks ago information reaohed the Assignee that certain gtode had beon removed by the debtor and not disolosod to the Assignee; a search warrant was obtained, on which a search of the bankrupt's dwelling house was made, and goods to the value of £2710s 7d wore discovered. A summons was issued against the debtor under Bootion 163 of the Act. This came on for hcarlog before Mr Kemlok on the 27th February, and after hearing the evidence tho case was dismissed on the ground tnat the debtor was entitled to the full benefit of the doubt, as to whether the goods discovered had not been handod back by the Assignee as part of the £25 worth allowed by the Act. The Assignee haa considered it right, however, to bring tho matter boforo the Court, and has accordingly given notico of his inten tion to apply for tho bankrupt's committal under section 167 of the Act, Mr H. Williamson (Crown Prosecutor) np poared iv support of the Assignee's applica tion, and Btated moro fully tho circum stances of the enso. Ho said that the debtor appeared to havo made a clean Bwoep of the shelves of his store and concealed the ar ticles taken therefrom (to the value of about £30) in his private house ; that tho assignee's agent (Mr Jerram), in going through the house, failed to sco these goods, and that as Mr Jerram found tho value of the furnituro to be within the £25 fixod by the Act his handing of It over waa accepted by the debtor aa tantamount to handing over also tho goods in the house which ho had not seen. This viow of the matter was also taken by the Thameß Magistrate In dismiaaing the Assignee's charge. He therefore asked tho Court now to exercuo its .jurisdiction under Bootion 166 of tho Act, and committ the debtor to trial.

Mr Cotter for the debtor took exception to the application on the ground of the insuffi ciency of the notice given by tho Assignee. He aaid that the debtor had been kept in ignorance as to the precise nature of the action to bo brought, and had, therefore, been debarred from bringing witnesses to town to rebut the oharge. Ho waa before the Court wholly without evidence.

Hia Honor said tho ground upon which tho magifltrato dismissed the Assignee's action was utterly unsound and wrong, for had there boen any doubt in his mind as to tho debtor's cul pability he should havo allowed the matter to go before the jury. As to the notice given, it was quite sufficient. A person charged with a misdemeanor did not get any notice except such as was contained In the Information itself. Evidonoe was about to be taken when his Honor intimated that tho matter would havejto be adjourned until after Chambers to-morrow as the timo had now arrived for resuming the Banco Bitting adjourned from yesterday. The bankruptcy application was adjourned accordingly.

An examination of his hammock was mado, when the blankets wero found to be sewn together, and a chisel, gimblet,and two bladed knife wore found secreted. Further inspection showed that Crabtrce had beon hard at work at the division wall with tho chisel and gimblet, and had nearly succeeded in cutting a hole in the wall sufficient to allow tbe body of a man to pass through. Crabtree was brought before tho magistrate to-day, pleaded guilty to the offence, and was sen tenced to 30 days' in irons, and 7 days' bread and water. On the 17th of last month Crabtrce attempted to escape from Lyttelton Gaol, and was fired at by ono of the warders. It is believed that had the hole been successfully cut through, ten of the long-sentence prisoners had arranged to escape.

WELLINGTON NOTES.

(by telegraph.—own correspondent. )

Wellington, this day. In addition to tho Consolidated Land Bil

in preparation for legislation next session, i there will bo a good many othor measures of a consolidating character. There will also bo bills dealing with tho laws relating to tho purchase of native lands, and a new Criminal Code Bill. Manufacture or Railway Material. The Minister of Public Works sooms anxious to givo tho local shops overy op portunity of supplying railway material, etc. Inetead of sending to EnghYnd' for it, as hitherto, ho seems determined that everything which can possibly lie manufac tured in the colony shall bo so manufac tured. The designs of all the principal railway bridges now being built, or about to bo so, have been altered so as to obviate the necessity for Bonding Home for por tions of the iron-work, and substituting locally-manufactured work. In addition to this, plans are now being propared for other railway material to the valuo of somo £25,000, which it has always heretofore been tbe custom to procure from England, but which ho has now determined to have executed at the various railway workshops in tho colony. Mr Allison Smith, the Locomotive Superintendent, is now in Wel lington advising with tho carrying out of this work, tho greater part of which will, of course, have to bo done at the Addington and Stillsido workshops.
