(.ROM OUR OWN CORREsr-ONJOKNT.)

S'j'-A, March ... ___ ARAWATA IN aUARANTINE. You will have been surprised at the non arrival of the almost invariably punctual Arawata, She was quarantined on arrival hero because of the scarlot fever cases in Auckland at the time.of her departure. Tho Chief Medical Officer detniued her three daya hero to make up eight from her Auckland date, as he considera that the disease, if latent in tho system, will develop itsolf in that' time. Over those three daya Captain Cromarty was in ono contiguous Btate of explosion. '' He fairly fumigated the vessel with his White Island eruption of sulphurous wrath. Tho cause for tho quarantine may seem slight, but if medical officers decide on .its necessity, the sensible non - professional opinion must be governed. thereby. Be tween 30,000 and 40,000 people lost their lives in 1874 5 becauae a careless medical officer let pass bo simple a thing as one caso of meaeles.

POLITICAL.

TJainga political haVe been at a standstill during the month. Up to tlie arrival of the Arawata, the Governor had not received kia long expected despatches from tho Secretary of Stato. Ilia Excolloncy, therefore, virtu ally found himself in irons, and could make no attempt to place things on a eatisfaCtory basis till these mUmontoua lettcra were to hand. With tho close of the last month his supplies were exhausted. He therefore called a mooting of Council, and took an appropriation for tho forvico of the month now current, on tho lines of tho old estimates, i.e., the £89,000. This, with a chance of the revenue reaching about £50,000, is particularly lively. It ia pre sumed, but not yet definitely known, that the Arawpta brought the delayed de spatches, for since then a number of dis missal, from the civil Bervice liavo beep notified, tho sep/icca, to terminate ..with this month. More are to follow imme diately, and it is said that sovoral of the useless hoads, as well aa the unnecessary tails of departments havo been marked for slaughter. Mr Loll unto, for merly the Acting Attornoy-Gouornl, goos aa President to Dominica, Leoward Islands.

AGRICULTURAL AND COMMERCIAL,

, As this is the off season, things aro of Ibo deadly lively order, , especially the former. On the. sugar estates, plant ing operations have been pushed for ward vigorously, and thero cortainly has been no lack of moisture to start the cano stools fairly. It does not Boem to havo ceased raining _inco the incoming of the year. According to the meteorological record there havo only been 18 dry days in tho last 4_ months, In February rain fell on every day oxe'opt ono, and for March so far there has not been a single day on which rain has not fallen. Latterly the rainfall has not been specially hoavy, except in ono or two localilioa ; but it haa been specially continuous, and it would seem as though lhat venorablo old party, Aquarius, had cracked his pitcher and established a per manent leak. Mud to the eyes has been tho prevailing condition ot existence in Suva, and elsewhere it has only boen a dif ference in degro'e. Trade has been very still, nothin_r doing arid no produce comiug in, for though the copra promise is an ex cellent one, it will not commence to realise till towards tho end of tho year.

SPEECH BY SIR ROBERT STOUT.

Bis Land Policy

(l!Y TELEGKAI'II. —I'BBSS ASSOCIATION.)

Waipawa, Friday, The Premier addressed hero to-night a crowded audience. W. C. Smith, M.H.K., was in the chair.

Sir Robert Stout first dealt with the land queetion. He advocated Stato ownership, and fully explained the naturo of land nationalisation. He claimed to havo always held the eamo views since he first entered Parliamentary and political life in the colony in IS7S. The speaker contended that the English land laws recognised a difference in landed and other property, the tenants having cortain distinct rights and privileges. The Irish Land Act also contained evidence of tho same prin ciple, the tenants being protected in spite of the land being private property; and the same in Prussia. He doclarod that those who maintained ownership of land similar to the ownership of other propeity were laying the foundation for a system of Communism, and were Bimply promoting Socialism. Tho perpetual leasing system was fully explained, also tho proposed measure to enable the State to resume possession of certain lands where con sidered necessary for settlement. He then referred to the criticisms of tho papers on his Marton speech, in which thoy twitted him with having parted with the right of the Crown to cortain lands to tho East and West Coast Railway Com pany, while advocating a reverse policy. Sir Robert Stout asked who had first proposed giving grants to companies to encourage the_ construction of railways. Tho Act which bis Government passed, giving land to the above company, was simply an amendment to another similar measure already existing. In 1879 the colony was unable to undertake new works owing to the wave of depression. However, the Grey Government had begun the construction of works on tho Well ington-Manawatu railway, and part of the lino wa? made when the Hall Government came into power, and raised tho cry about the bad position of the colony, and its in ability to complete the railway. It also promised grants of land to any private com pany willing to complete the work. The quarter of a million acres given to the Well ington-Manawatu railway was ten times more valuable than the two million acres proposed to be given to the East and West Coast, the speaker having been over the latter. He maintained that the system of the Government giving away freehold under these conditions must be abolished. The question of protection and free trade was touched upon. The protectionist policy was slightly favoured, though conditionally. The Representation Bill was also referred to, Sir R. Stout stating that representation muet go with population. Retrenchment mußt be faced, and the Civil Service re formed,

The speaker received a unanimous vote of thanks.

AUCKLAND GARDENERS' HORTICULTURAL SHOW.

AL.HO.t_ the Horticultural Shr>w wai moderately well ottordedon Saturday night, still the attendance was by no means com mensurate with the merits of the affair. This is matter for regret, as this Society has proved itself to bo ably and spiritedly managed and its objects aro certainly deserving of thi heartiest support . Obn- Siderable attfention has bebn _iiid bjr alha ture vienerons to an improved graps vinery ingeniously 'trained by Mr A. Dewes. By a clover adjustment of hinges the uppr;r portions on eithor aide of the ridges may be lifted up at will, inatead of being'fixtures as hitherto, and care has been taken to pre vent any percolation oi water. The inven tion io highly plaieod, Some oplendid samples of apples forwarded by Mr B. M. Gubb, of Port Albert, arrived too late for the judges as did also Mr Gubb's exhibits last year. Had they bean in timb, we are informed that thoy would have carried off EOnie of tho first prices.

- Amongst thb items hot noticed pre viously wore •ft nrtihber tif exhibits from the new village settlement at Taka hue, Victoria Vulley. These comprised kumeras, 90 days corn, Indian oarly scarlet runners, and peas, all planted since the location of the village in Decomber last. It would appear from this that village sottlora whointondto bo successful may have returns from their sefitions in lose tlian foilr tho'fitlla. Amongst tho articles not for riompetitiou were a couple of fine plants in pots, belong ing to Mr It. C. Baretow, a dish of fine quinces fhown by Mr T. Barnett, a eplen did samplo of grapos exhibited by Mr W, R. Bridgman, also grapes grown in Dr. Sanders'a ground vinery. Masetiold Broß,, of Kiiipara, forwarded four plates of apples and three plateß of pears, and Mr Mayo, of Drury, showed two new varieties oi poors — Lo Comte apd Keller's hybrid-also Roe's mammoth quince.. Mr- Lipplatt shows a stand of ros9s, and also three plates of applea. A banana tree, with fruit attached, was also forwarded by Mr E. Mitchel son. An obsorvatory hive of bees, sent by Mr Stephen llooker,nttractod an amount of attention, ns tho industrious colony could be watched through tho glass sides of tho hives. Mr Jainos Craig's collection of cut llowci's is ono of tho best evor exhibited in this city, and called forth spocinl commendation from tho judges. Some bouquets forwarded by Mr E. Turner wore designated.by tho judges a beautiful exhibit, and rogret wao expressed that they had not been entored for Competition. In examining some coleuses on Friday, it was noliced that the mealy bug was also on exhibition., This insect was alto present on some of the bunches ol grapes. TMs carelessness on tho pnit of exhibitors should bo looked after by the stewards, otherwise persons will bo .afraid to exhibit valuable plants lost they become infected.
