Tlio Two Moraltles,

(To the Editor.)

Sm,—ln reading a letter recently pub lished in your valuable journal, termed " The Two Moralities," it is simply impos sible to detect tho starting point and ending point of its contention. But it seems to assume, first of all, that there is, and there was, a distinct code of morality for kings and lords and commons, and then appears to indicate the desirability of submitting international disputes to civil arbitrament. Assuming this to be the intended meaning of the cloudy essay, already sufficiently re ferred to, a simple and defined reply is at once available. First, as to the general construction and application of morality. It in both false and base. Ido not hesitate to eny, to assume, in the face of living facts, that there is one code of morals for peasant and another for peer. No doubt, the temptations to human frailty equal in high and low are greater and more ruinous for the peer than for the peasant. Hut, never theless, tho verdict and conduct of mere cliques and coteries, the civil law and public opinion, boar Iwith^ the same leaden hanij of denunciation and punishment on peer and peasant. And it is woll ovident to those who have ever tasted the refined delights of high toned society that when once detection is pronounced, no rank, woalth, or ability can aavo expulsion. Witness, to take random examples, the caso of King George in his conduct to Queen Caroline at the particular period ho was ostracised from society and public regard. Witness the caso of Lord Byron, who, with all his brilliant lights, was cursed from his native land by society and public opinion as an utter blackguard, and died a vagabond on foreign soil. Wit nogs rocontly tho case of Valentino Baker, when oven Royalty and rave talents could not savo him from the damnation of socioty and public opinion, and tho law itsolf. To multiply precedents is to wnsto time. But this could bo easily done out of the history of overy nation on earth. Tho author of "Tho Two Moralities" lacks truth in statoment, and discrimination in conclusion, Ho unfortunately drags Henry the VIII. and his eight wives ouco more to light. Let him road_ history aright with relloctinn, and ho will find that Honry showod a kind of yirtuo ovenin his lovos, inasmuch as, living in a despotic ago, ho might have resorted to foulor means of satisfying his lusts than awaiting tho tedium and analysis of legal divorco and treason ; and, moreover, in no age more than the Tudor was marriage, infidelity, and flagrant indulgence of passion so openly resortad to equally by King, and Lord, and Commons. Tuo rulo was general and not restricted to Honry, and was lauded as a title to dare devil gallantry, and one Bex was as bad as tho other. I now pass to consider tho de-. nil-ability of submitting international dis putes to civil arbitration. No ono denies tho desirability, but tho practicability is denied. No doubt both heaven and earth wore constituted by God especially for peace. But there was, and there is, war against devils even in heaven. So on earth religion Mid civil and inter national law have been given to us to main tain peace, but they are ever to be exerted by war against the wrong-door, the criminal, and tho barbarian. But aa far as inter national disputes are especially concerned, to take a confined application of tha oase, is it likely that there can be peaco on any torma as long as tho earth possesses the war demons of Turkey and Egypt and Russia— tho post-spots of civilisation ? These nations are not open to the ordinary impulse of truth and fairness and justice ; therefore, war must be waged, And in fine, to go to the voiy root of tho matter without prudery, when our first parents warred with one another the instinct of strife was permanently implanted in tho human bosom, and is consequently alive to-day in individuals as woll as nations. Tho golden fruit of strife has boon tasted, and is equally disappointing and disastrous. Tho beautiful equilibrium of spirit and Hotiso has been disturbed, and to this shock has been added the debasing effect of disease and crime and passion of ages, but for which, undoubtedly, our first parents would have remained oternajly po'rfect, mind and body, havtrg hepn, created by the fiiigor of Qod, and lutf unto God, Strifo has become as wine to tho eyos. Blood has ilowed. It is both tho nectar and ambrosia, sad to say, of tho human appetite. Wo have no ono to blamo but ourselves too, for God in His bouoficenco mado us com pletely frco agents. Wo wore fashioned in moal; wo havo shapod into malt. Mind and body wo woro originally placed without strife in a Paradise of beauty, and perfec tion, and peuco; wo havo cast ourselves lustfully into tho pandemonium of doform ity, and depravity, mid war. So shall we lingor until God in his almighty power converts us by so touching our montnl and physical degradation, in compassion, when wo turn contritely to Him, as to resto.ro us to our pristino equili brium, in which sonso never obtruded upon spirit to mako it confusod and dograacd. Novor shall wo know poaco again (imongat individuals nnrt. nations until mon and woman havo thoroughly ropentcd of fixing sonse bot'oro spirit; from which has followed nil tho ruin of placing, to use a homoly ex pression, tho cart boforo tho horse. Tho author of " Tho Two Moralities" is no doubt to bo onoouragod for ndvocating, although confusedly, an approach by in dividuals and nations to an angelic state; but beyond doubt, tho desire stands power less under existing circumstances, as an irretriovablo divorco has taken place between spirit and senso. Poaco, therefore, amongst mon and nationß is doslmblo but utterly impracticable. Having cloarly shown that war is an ovil necessity, I will not stop to ropudiato tho odious comparison which tho author of tho "Two. Moralities" has falsely drawn between, conduct justifiable in war-time o.nd oat so in peace time. They lack t0.9t0 and proprioty j but if I may say so, tho obfuscated essay of "Tho Two Moralities " reminds ub of the old Latin say ing, "Partu riunt montes ridiculus mus nascotur "—" having allowed thosmoke^to oloar away, thero is not a vestige of sub stanco remaining,"—l am, yours, etc., HUGH SIIORTLAND, Auckland, May 15th, 1885.

Mr John Webator, Kyber Pass, also sends a long reply. In substance he says:—l contradict the first statement of "A. C." point blank, viz, that there ore " many moralitios." But I hold that not every nation, but overy individual man and woman, hus a difterent impression of what constitutes morality; some resemble each other very much, and others are very different, and this is the reason that the Bible recommends us not to judge one another. But unless they wilfully make themselves so, no one is so utterly void of true morality as to be completely out of recognition of one another ....

Does " A.C." mean that it is never wise for one man to kill another ? or does ho mean that men who kijl should never be hung? or does he mean that some thing worse than hanging Bhould have been done to the Duke of Wellington or Lord Nelson ; or what does he mean ? He asks if it is not strange ; does he mean one or both of his "Two Moralities?" He says, "If two men quarrel and settle the dispute by fighting." Has " 4.0." ever known a dispute to. to Bottled' by fighting ? Most of us have heard of men who have gone fighting and got settled themselves— ao far as this world is concerned. "A.C." asks what honour is? I should say that honour consisted in a man's doing y/hat he considered to be best. " A.. Q.">' talk's about the burning of, villages by British soldiers a.nd turning the inhabitants and women and ohildren into the open country with the thermometer registering 20iog. below freezing point. This he distinctly lays down as the work of one set of moralists, and then he points out how he and his party would settle everything nicely and quietly by arbitration to the satisfaction of everybody. The Dutchman painted his picture so badly that ho wrqt? u,uHeriieath This is the man, Tiisi3tn.eßear,b.ut "A.C " avidehtlyth'in^s lie has painted his pjotm-e so Well that it is not necessary to write under neath, "This is tho correct morality" '' that is thG faleo morality." Does "AC" suppose that a little arbitration is over going to fix up everything so nicely in this world ? What bosh! It is rather cool for him to claim, as he distinctly does, that ha and his party are the reßroqaatjitiyea of tho right morality, and thai tt\e rest of humanity Mpreymt tap wrong, ruakine thus, "two raiiraUtips. I should rather say honours aro divided, anri me™ ai-e as many immoral aota a»d wen in " A.C.'a " party as i n tne rest of humanity, and, as a party, they will as often go astray as any nation or any as sociation on this earth. [We oannot afford space to prolong this controversy. It is flow pjosed.—[Ep. B.S.]

North New Zealand Woollen Factory.

(To the Editor) SiR,-In reply to a paragraph, gleaned from ?>1 l rn TP£ P6l\ aPF3arin S in your issue this week, I beg to state that the same h not apphcable to Auckland. •' I presume thaj; it »p not ueeeaearv tn nnlnt out that AucklaVprovincial dta&Mth a population of quite 100,000 persons is sufnc.ent to support a factory with success to all concerned, however trie South may deprecate any such idea, and I must cor,.

fess that such tactics do not surprise me, considering that Auckland is odmitt^to be their largest customer. With regard to the report that all tho skilled labour will bo imported, such may be tho caso so far ns the lioods of departments aro concerned, but their assistants will be taken froi.i tho lands employed in tho mill, and they will earn to bo mill-wrights, mechanics, over lookers, loom-tuners, wool-sorters, dyers, &c, so as to be able to take the place of their senior, should siokness or accident lay him aside. Then, outside the factory, but connected with the Company, it will, no doubt, bo found necessary to establish a hosiery fac tory to use up the surplus yarn which otherwise would accumulate, as it is impos sible to spin just the exact quantity of yarn that the looms can absorb. This depart ment may be in the city itself, under the management of an experienced woman with a female staff. In Dunedin, the Mosgiel Company have a similar depart ment, where about £100 per month is paid in wages. A large trade is also done with the stores in knitting yarns. Those, and other advantages, ought to induce tho working man to be among the first to apply for hie ten or twenty shares, and in order to give him the opportunity o subscribing, I would recommend a house ■to-house canvas during the evenings. Just a few words to those timid indi viduals who say "it is too late, that tho Southern factories have got the trade, that Auckland cannot compete wit.h them." Almost cvoryono dealing in colonial tweeds admits that the goods of the most recently established factory are superior to those of the oldest. Seeing that sheer quality of work alono tolls, Auckland would bo placed in a bettor position to produce it than any existing factory in tho colony. However, no one can say it is too late to be first, and if tweeds aietoo well Bought into, make wor"ted9, and range ovor all the qualities in cerges, cords, diagonals, and fine black coatings, &c. Theso goods aro made in England from Now Zealand cross bred wools principally. They are in great and growing favour with the public, and be ing usually in plain colours,are a safe stock to make. An imitation article is being tried in tho Southern factories from carded wools, and I understand that the Government have been supplied with it for police and volun teer uniforms, but it compares vory poorly with tho roal combed article, a few pat terns of which ' I will endeavour to sond to tho promoters of the Auckland Company for inspection. These points aro only advanced to counter act adverse reports, for there is really room in this district for two mills, a woollen and a worsted mill, and both will pay.

All that is required 13 for the business men and tho working men to subscribe for a mill, and let their directors and sub-committse men decide whether it shall be for the manufacture of woollen or worsted gaoda, Apologising for occuny^K ho much of your space.—Yours obsuiently, Land,

sir George Grey's Lecture.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—l see hy last nicht's Sta^ that a perßOu signing himself " W "infers that I'm no a woman at a', let alane bein' Tarn's lawfu' wedded wife. At least, I suppose "W" means me ; but I'll just tell him that my name is no " Macdonald," but Maciarlane —ElsaMacfarlaneo'thatilk. leuppoEOwhen ho read my letter (bein', na doubt, a great friend and follower o1 Sir Qeprgaj he lost hie temper, and penned, tho effasion which graces the column o' Saturday nicht's p^ipw. Mind, I dinna blame him or any man for feohtin' for his idol; oh, dear no. I agroe (and so does Tarn) wi' some o' Sir George's ideas for the amelioration o' the masses; but I canna, and, what's mair, I winna, agree wi' a great deal o' what ho says. My certie, dao ye think I'm no to hae tho free direction o' my thinkin' powers in a maittor so directly affectin' the well bein' o' the community fit lairge ? I wudna care wha. wa.a dehvorin' a lecture, bo he tho highest man in a' the realm.. I wud dae the same, and I mistak Sir Geovgo'a character if he wudna endorse my sentiments in this resjrict. Why, man, to tak' everything a man gaei uttoranco tae as Gospel truth, aud im placetly and blindly follow .him in a' that he says and does, is tho very essance o' slavery, and slaveiy is the very thing Sir George wants to free the people frae. However, as " W" didn.a attempt to rofute or ca' in question the facts which I wrote for my gudo man, but simply confined himsel' to ungentlemanly abuse aboot me wearing tho brooks (and ta a woman, too !), I'll eae nae mair at present. I'll iust xaention tor "W 's " information that Tarn and me are no "embryo land speculators on a ten-acre scale," nor da we haud an acre o' land (inair's the pity) in the colony, but are just hard-working, honest bodies, And that reminds mo that at tbo meetin' at the theatro the ither nicht Sir George made an assertion that wasna in accordance wi' the tho facts, but whethor it -.vas intentionally or no I dinna ken. In roforrin1 to Mr Ballanco'a scheme to assist the unemployed in the South, Sir George led his hearers to believe that only ten acres o' laud each woro to be given to the men. Noo, the proposal is to range fra 10 (mini mum) to 150 (maximum) acres, and every body will admit that there's a wide differ ence botween 10 and 150 acreß. I oaf. a think Sir George wud dae a thing H^ e t f,' at intentionally, for the purp^ s6 o" takin' an unfair advantage tf ridiculing Mr Ballance & scheme^ hut these • are the Blmple facts q* tho case. J,lr Ballanco at ony rato ia makin' an honest endeevor to leaden tho sufferings o' theso unfortunate ppaplo, and I dinna think it is in con sonance wi' the dictates o' fair play to rajsreprosent his action in this maitter. Did Sir George dae anything like what Mr Ballance Is now doin' when he (Sir George) was in power?—l am, &c,

The Queen's Birthday.

(To the Editor.) S?Ti, —Permit me to call your attention and that of the public to the fact that last year a large proportion of the public were de prived or rather defrauded of their usual bhthday holiday, owing to its falling on a Saturday, an inconvenient day for business people, and to its then postponement,owing to the death of Prince Leopold, to a day in Juno following, being also a Saturday, an in convenient _ day. However, through mis understanding or mismanagement, a large number were deprived of their holiday last year, and to avoid a repetition of it this year.the Queen's Birthday falling on Sun day, it is to be hoped our worthy Mayor will, ot least a week previous, pro claim Monday, the 25th inst., a gen eral holiday, that there may be no work or shops open on that day, and that there may be an unrestricted oppor tunity given the whole population of showing their loyalty to their most gracious Queen in whatever direction they thipk proper, and this year it will be douhly en joyed andappreciated,owins[soihegvand and independent stand of the Mother Country in tho Afghanistan question, which has b?og the means of averting the calamity of bloodshed, and ending, it is hoped, in an honourable peace.—l am, etc.,.

To the Editor : Sir,—On reading the re port of the meeting called to consider the action taken by' the Lumpers' Union, it strikes me that the public are likely to hear only one side of the case, and thus to form a mistaken opinion. At first sight the action of the men in refusing to work with non union men seems somewhat Arbitrary If however, they did npt take "this action, the result wculd be unlimited competition from W «noWP\°yed men, with, the result of wwe^ng the waged, and allowance for overtime, s\nd oo on, which are not at present complained of by shipowners, Tho best men would therefore be likely to leave such work altogether, which would not Sw /"I" 6' £° what tho would dosne. From the nature ci tl»e work, lumpers are especially liable to the evil effects ci over - competition, and an) nutaty justifkd in taking such Vg«H stop's to guav} thomselvos against it o,a they see fit. As they are a very great convenience to shippers and all others who are concerned in tho shipping trado, it seems a somewhat mistaken policy to ako any atepa which h^ fc> or to lessen the usefulness oi tur;h a body. That n'fr 6 f* a SI 6St differonce !l» the men ap pears from the statemonts of shippers, and mJT eg^ larly engaged In the work are likely to he tnost useful.

D TESTIMONIALS. Mn A. F. Spawn :— San Francisco, Cal., February 4, 1880. Having witno'ssod an exhibit of your "Climax Hand Fire Grenade" and He > offective work, I cheerfully givo it the rocommendation of being tho most efficient Firo Extinguisher and OOMTLKM Hand Gronado'that I havo ever aeon. With the Climax there is no dangor of it not braaking whon thrown into tho fire, as tho cartridgo novor fails to break tho bottlo. The public aro indebted to you for such a comploto lire extinguisher.—Respectfully yours, George W. Jlauwrok. Asft. Firo Marshal. r Mr A. F. Spawn :— Stkamship Auhtbaua, San Franclsoo, leb. IS, 18s5. ly Dear Slit,—Ploase deliver on board my ship ono dozen Climax Firo Grenades,_ also two Climax Firo Extinguishers, witJi 50 foot of hoeo each, and two extra boxes chemicals. * The tost I had tho ploa.suro of witnessing yesterday in Oakland, at tho Glass Works, gave 8, mo great satisfaction. Tho principle of your Gronado I considor superior to all others I . have soon. Wishing you success, lam very respectfully yours, Capt. XC. Guest. »' The followinc lottor shows tho groat value of tho Climax Fike Extinguisher in time of need :- Martinez, Cal, Dec. 25, 1884. Mr A. F. Spawn, Manager of tho Climax Fire Extinguisher ban Francisco. n ly DeirSir,— At tho fire which occurred at my mother's dwelling, your "Climax, owned by Mr S. J. Bonnott, of this placo, was the means of saving the property. The _ fire was between tho studding about the chimnoy. By putting tho nozzle through a, hole T made in the wall tho " Climax " was put into operation, and in a few seconds the fire D was completely subdued. Thoro was no means of getting to the firo with water, and it 0, was no doubt the only thing that saved the property. The value of the " Climax _as a flre extinguisher can hardly be estimated. Mr Bennett is doserviiig of grejtf praiso for his promptitude in responding to tho "Call of Fire," and tho eihcioncy with which he applied the " Climax "to its proper use.-Very respeotfully, Geo. A. Sherman, Druggist *• aDd Station°r; OUR FliiT ORDER T- Mr Archer Preston, after examining all other kind of grenades, being convinced of ' a the superiority of the Climax, has entered into a contract with us to furnish him with 500 dozen a month for oight months for the Mexican and Central American trade. The Undersigned have a Large Shipment pf tho Grenades to arrive by the next mail steamer, duo at tno end of this month. t E. PORTER & COT, SOIK eaM'^ * THE lf@ND^llLFU'la Latest Improvements.
