MESSES HAZELL AND HODG KINS'S REPORT.

Th report of the two gentlemen, above named, who recently visited Australia and New Zealand on behalf of the Emigration Bureau, is a most satisfactory document, M will do much to check the mischief initiated by Mr Norton last year. Their report (says the "Daily News," in vi article on the subject) has no direct reference to the statements of Mr Norton, tat ib helps us to give them the right in terpretation. There have been bad times we Australasian colonies, and there is M active demand for additional labour of Partisan class. For agricultural labour, Mwever, there is still a decided demand, j™gh it is not universal; while in certain Matties navvies and labourers can hardly ran to find work; and good female domes «= servants always find a place. This "Berg from w j, at we heard last yearj « a statement made with discrimina 2, r™ 18 fr"0111 a statement made ■wurnt. Taking Australasia as a whole, ™ reporters incline strongly to the *~« belief that " any steady man can Fpn m this country." Slackness of work jn fact, a relative term, and it may uSL m i thin& k England and quite ■War at the Antipodes. The difference ' meaning is the real point of interest in «• mm. The difficulty of finding work a o^«nd is often absolute for tens of S ds Of ihe Illation. In Australia, Xl gtoi,th Lelocal Pessimists, it is, in SSM hxii ; and « being hZv oft9n means only a difficulty Xf B ■•n*? lar work at higQ wages, or s&^g in search of it. * * tafiS J^y a cry of "over- Sfcu }" A" Btralia> and » has never duo S h i less that ifc means now. It is coWl wy v the determination of the fomfalnZk"? g claSfles to Prevent wages C fi, ?* b?W .their P resent level. The «^w?nr M *W'?* lnMy On6' aDd from the «*bR- x^ infceresfc there seems ZeaCT m the cohni&l view. The New kWera *? m m beginning to ask for •^ wal Wa? es "% e^ual to the England" agricultural labourers in <*startL£?.' fu"y equal" is a phrase g?lficance> as it seems to show already fal*?' labour has motW 1 low economic level of ifij**?.

New South Wales and Victoria—the latter especially—offer a strenuous resistance to the law of supply and demand. They have their unemployed, who promenade the streets calling for "work or bread;" but these are not as the unemployed at Home. In Australia universal suffrage makes the common man almost omnipotent. The Government that depends on his vote has accordingly to find him work, at rates that will decently support his family, whenever there is a scarcity of employment in the open market. At Sydney the re porters saw several hundreds of men thus pressing the Government for work. The Government offered to send them, a few miles away, to cut down bush on piecework. Most of them accepted the offer, but about 200 declined, insisting on being paid by the day at the rate of 6s for eight hours. To offer them less, they said, was " a degradation of labour in New South Wales." The contrast with the opinions that prevail on the relief question at Home is sufficiently striking. With us relief works rarely rank higher in quality, or in Eublic estimation, than a kind of out-door Lbour test. The difference lies entirely in the point of view of those who give the relief—there, of those who receive it, the latter being, at the same time, masters of the political, if not of the economic situation. The report insists strongly on the value of such work as the Emigration Office is doing, and on the need of extending it. Some of the Governments of the colonies have promised to co-operate iq this object with the Labour Department at Home. It is quite clear thar the time has come to organise emigration, and that of this process the gathering of statistics and the spread of general information form but the initial stage. It is, of course, in the highest degree important to let people know what they may have to expect on landing, but beyond that some effort must be made to raise their legitimate expectations. Assis ted emigration promises to become one of the institutions of the time. The indi vidual emigrant of the class from which emigrants are usually drawn is often quite unequal to the difficulties he has to encoun ter. Hemay survive the conflictwith circum stances after a fashion, but too often it is only as a broken and ruined man. The failures of .English exportation must be forming the foundation of a pauper class in the colonies. Such men may not go out as paupers, indeed the colonies now take their own precautions against that danger, but their failure tends to enlist them for ever under the broad banner of shiftlessness, hopelessness, and faineantise. Many plans have' accordingly been started to save the immigrant from the sense of isolation. New Zealand has its special settlements of the village homestead type. Under another system, an association of not less than twenty-five persons desirous of settling in company on Crown lands may arrange with the Government for taking a block, in allotments, on de ferred payment or perpetual lease. In South Australia there is much, the same system. In New Zealand, again, there have been many private efforts to promote the settlement of small landowners. Mr Firth, of Matamata, has laid out a part of his immense estate in fifty-acre sections, which he offers on easy conditions of purchase, extending over ton years, "to industrious men, with or without capital, who wish to acquire comfortable homesteads." Other schemes of the same general character are noticed in the report. It is impossible to

doubt that they will largely determine the character of the emigration of the future, if only because they follow the general ten dency of the movement of the age. Many co-operate for every purpose in our day, from the purchase of groceries down to burglary, and individualism is becoming the luxury of genius alone. Most emigrants are not men of genius, but very humble and rather .stupid folk who have no power of forming a right estimate of the difficulties that await them in a new scene of labour in a new world. They have a right to demand some help of a judicious sort from their Governments, ancj, quite apart from that, it is hardly too much to say that they already have the power. We may live to see the Emigration Office one of the most important of the minor departments of State.

A Scolding Woman; —The barbarities of the ducking-atool for the cure of sco ding women though abolished bylaw, are now often Mines practised by a kind of social barbarity nono the jess reprehensible. Women scold only when they are ill. Instead of blaming them we should prescribe Am. Co.'s Hop Bitters. The entire system will undergo a genial, pieasfint change. The nerves will be quieted and acrbity of word anl thoughtwill give place to amiability and affection. Healthy women do not scold or fret. Read.
