TUESDAY, JUNE 28, 1887.

Sir Robert Stout's address to the electors of Dunedin East throws no new light upon the political situation. The Premier adheres tc his conten tion that the Government has more i than redeemed the promise he made Ito his constituents in ISB4 that I retrenchment to the extent of was possible and would be made. The Opposition deny that these alleged savings are real, and -outsiders have neither the inclination nor the opportunity to wade through the pub lic accounts and judge between them. They know that measures for new taxation to the amount of j were proposed without being accompanied by any tangible measure !of retrenchment, and yet the Premier admitted last night that could bo saved without lessening the efficiency of the Government ser vice. The country, if we mistake not its temper, will insist in these elections that the new taxation shall not go one shilling beyond the actual requirements of economical govern ment.

The Premier's excuse for the non reduction of legislative expenditure is very weak. He states that he was himself willing to reduce the number oi members to 86, and yet it was upon li. motion that the figure 71, which i-.» House had inserted in the SoP re " tn-tiou Bill was raised to 91. The in- , se was only carried by the casting -te of the Speaker, and the Premiers own vote would have turned the balance. To say then that the Government were influenced in this matter by the majority of the House is disingenuous. There is also alack of that definitencss that begets confidence in his retrench ment proposals. Retrenchment to be just must begin at the top of the service, but the Premier has made no promise in any of his speeches to propose a reduction of the Go vernor's salary; yet we do not hesi tate to say that a vast majority of the people of the colony are in favour of such a reduction being carried out. We concur most heartily with the strong position which the Premier has taken upon the question of education. There must be no surrender on this subject. While the old countries of the world are vicing with each other in promoting the general education of the people, _ and educational advantages of the highest kind are bestowed upon the inhabit ants of the neigbouring colonies, New Zealand cannot afford to pursue a retrograde policy. Economy in ad ministration there should be; but the electors of New Zealand will be false to their own truest interests if they allow themselves to be bamboozled by this cry of the wealthy in favour of an attackupon ournationalschools. Webe lieve the Premier is not exaggerating the fact when he says that this move ment is set on foot in the lobbies of Parliament by men who dare not come boldly forward and propose it to the country. Education is the greatest democratic agent. It is that which places power in the hands of the masses, and they will be fools indeed if they allow this specious cry to de prive their children of the advantages which they now enjoy. The speech last night, being ad dressed specially to his constituents, does not attempt to sound any rally ing cry for the elections ; but the Pre mier has promised to address a mass meeting of the electors on Friday night, when, no doubt, many of th. burning topics which were left un touched last night will be fully dealt with.

A CASE FOR INQUIRY.

We have given a cordial support throughout to the Village Settlement scheme, and therefore we feel it an im perative duty to publish the appended letters which have been placed in our possession, and demand an immediate inquiry into the circumstances of the case by the Govern ment, The Mr Webb referred to is a highly respectable, industrious man, who had a good permanent situa tion in Auckland. Inspired by the furore for settlement on land, he threw up his billet aud took up one of the village sections. From the statement below, it would appear that on occupying this section, which is a part of the Hukerenui block, he has found to his sorrow that the land is a swamp, utterly unsuited for the purpose of locating small settlers on. The letter, which is written by a sympathetic storekeeper with a view of getting assistance to remove the unfortunate and unhappy family, tells the rest of the sad story. The case appears about as bad as Mark Tapley's experience with the American land speculators and the new Eden, and if it be true that the Government have tempted men to throw up positions of comfort, and then exposed them to such hardships through want of proper care in selecting the land upon which the settlers are located, then a very grave responsibility will rest upon them. The letters speak for themselves :— Soda Water Spring, Kamo, 23rd June, 1887.

Dr. Sissons, Esq., Kamo. Dear Sir,—The bearer of this note (Mr Webb) and his family havo been living at my store, Hukerenui, for some time. They having come to this district with the intention of taking up land on the Village Settlement Act, they took up the land here, 50 acres, in Auckland, and when they came to look at it found it situated in a swamp covered with water, therefore had to throw it up. They had to live in a tent made of sacks, and the winter weather setting in, they were all, excepting fat her and mother, laid up with sickness. The whole nine children were sick at one time, one little boy died, tlien the father was laid up and had to come into Kamo. Latterly tho family have been living in a hut be longing to me near my store. Three of the children are still laid up sick, and they have no means whatsoever to support themselves. The mother, Mrs Webb, is in a critical state, expecting to be laid up in a coupleof months'time. Therefore this is the reason I have taken the liberty to address you, asking if you could in any way put Mr Webb in the position of getting any assistance or work in the district, so that he can get his family away from the present place they are living-. Mr Webb is the bearer of this letter, and can tell you the position he is in. Trusting you will excuse me, a perfect stranger, in addressing you. —Yours truly, (Signed). Thomas Henry Hirst. Kamo, June 24, ISS7. To Mr Hogg: S_r,-T believe the above to be perfectly correct. The family are labouring under fever caused by exposure and the crowded state of the tent. (Signed). Richard Sissons, Surgeon, etc.

WAR FEELING IN FRANCE.

Straws suffice to show the direction of a current. There are more than one straw plainly to be seen on the current of public opinion in France at the pre sent time, and they all plainly show that the popular will is setting steadily

in favour of, a war with Germany. The most palpable sign of the times is the occasional gathering of tumultuous crowds in Paris, clamouring, for tlie return to power of General Eouianger. It is firmly believed in London that war between France and Germany is absolutely dependent upon the main tenance of the present French Minis try in power, and President Grovy, who is a man of paace, is doing his utmost t-> prevent the defeat of the Kouvier Ministry. There is a danger, however, that the popular excitement may prove too strong for his restraining hand to control, and the news of the Paris mob's action, which we published yesterday, shows how strongly public feeling is forcing on a warlike policy. The occasion of the demonstration was to protect against the imprisonment of Francophile Alsatians by Ger man}'', and from tlie excited tone of the newspapers as disclosed in recent mail advices, there seems little doubt but that the frontier question could be m«de to supply at any mo ment the desired casus belli be tween the two countries. When the crisis arose which led to the liouvier Ministry taking office, the -, bellicose crowd in the boulevard in-front of the Opera House numbered many thou sands, and these became so turbulent in their demonstrations that the mili tary had to be called out to clear the streets. •■

But tbe present French Ministry, though pledged to pacific courses, may have to succumb to the popular pressure, and carry out the bellicose policy of their predecessors. Signs of that tendency are not wanting. General Ferron, upon assuming the duties of the War Office in the new Cabinet, issued an order of the day, in which he said : " Like my predecessors, I shall pursue a policy of military reform, and shall devote my whole time to increasing the defence forces of the Re public." Replying t® a question in the Chamber of Deputies, M. Rou vier said the Government intended that all citizens, even seminarists, should be subject to the obligations of the military service. Cable despatches have shown that these promises are being carried out. Some weeks ago it was announced that General Ferron's military zeal was quite equal to that of General Bou langer's, and to-day we receive intimation that the bill to ren der military service compulsory upon ecclesiastical students has been carried. Thus the Cabinet which was expected to keep the peace is appar ently steadily drifting into war, and thus it may happen that the-Paris mob may once more precipitate a Franco- German war—but under widely dif ferent circumstances to those under which the last campaign was entered upon. The crash may be delayed by clever manoeuvring on the part of the pacific section of the French people, but no one believes that it will be averted.

THE EGYPTIAN DIFFICULTY.

Russia and France appear to be partly successful in their efforts to cause a rupture between England and Turkey over the question of the Egyptian Con vention. Russia is playing the part of "heavy villain," and threatens all sorts of frightful consequences—in cluding seizure of territory in Asiatic Turkey and enforcement of the war indemnity—if the Porte ratifies the convention. France assumes the role of the insinuating friend who threatens in covert fashion. She, in effect, offers her alliance to Turkey, and protection from the consequences of a rupture with England—gently in timating at the same time that she has an outstanding claim to look after cer tain "holy places" in Syria. The attitude cf the Porte is, as usual, marked by weakness and vacilla tion, and the Sultan's advisers are reported to be trying to extort concessions from England. 1 At that game Turkey shows all the fertility of resource and shamelessness of proposal which characterise the chronically impecunious individual when pressed by duns. But the likeli hood is that she will submit to the will of the one having the strongest claims upon her, viz., England, and that as the result of the threatened retirement of Sir H. D. Wolff she will sign the Convention. Kiamil Pasha, the Grand Vizier, may pro bably have to give place to a more straightforward Minister, and the crisis, -which now looks somewhat threatening, will be averted. Piqued as France is at the new Egyptian ar rangement, she will not carry her hos tility to the extreme point of war, nor is Russia likely to enter upon a cam paign to soothe the wounded suscepti bilities of the French Republic.

The Supreme Court had some interesting visitors to-day in the persons of Bishop Selwyn and a number of his embryo native teachers, from the Solomon and other groups of islands in the Melanesian Mission. The natives appeared intelligent and highly interested in the proceedings, the rev. gentleman pointing out to them the prisoner, counsel, &c. What appeared to attract the most admiration was a new wig, worn by a well-known learned counsel, which, in all its pristine bloom, looked quite dazzling. After a brief visit to the library, &c., the Bishop left, followed by his c> two little, three little, four little, twelve little nigger boys."

The second competition for tha 0 Battery Challenge Cup took place at tho Mount Eden Range last Saturday. It resulted in Sergeant Hodgkinson getting the lead by 14 points. The next man is Gunner Allom, and the third Sergeant Haultain.

An elderly man named George Williams was standing on the poop of the ship Cen turion yesterday afternoon, when a sailor aloft accidentally let go his hold of the lower topsail sheets. The latter struck Williams, and caused injuries about his head and body which rendered his removal to the Hospital necessary. On arrival there it was found that three ribs had been broken, and that Williams would require medical Attendance for some tine, .
