DEPUTATIONS TO THE PREMIER.

."thRAKY AND TEMrKUANCE CLUB 1,1 FOR FREEMAN S BAY.

A deputation, consisting of Mr W. tl. Smith (of Smith aad Caughey) and Mr W Beaumont, waited upon Sir Robert Stout tbie morning, at tho Star Hotel, re proposed nublio library, reading room, and Tem ir»nce 9 Club in the Freeman's Bay district. She deputation pointed out that their object was to at once open in the old Kob R° y Hotel euch a club as above eet forth, having such attractions f or the many youths of the district a3 to draw them away from the numerous temptat' ooß which He in their path, giving them a taeto for higher pursuits, and plac ing in their hands healthy literature which would help to mould their characters and make them in after lifo useful citizens. TJio main object of the deputation was to eulist the sympathies of the Premier |d this work, and ascertain if it wore hoseible to get from any <>overnment funds, which; are or may be set apart for. euch, institutions, a pound for pound grant. The Premier said, in reply that he was very much in sympathy with the object, S nd was certain it was a etep in the right direction. When in London as a young man he had himself worked in such a way as proposed, and with other young men he W u9 enabled to give an impetus and help forward in life to many a neglected youth who would never have had the chance otherwise. Ho thought it wae possible to get a library grant, say up to £50, and lequested the deputation to write to him on the and h,e would boar it in mind when any such distribution of funds for euch purposes was made. The deputation then thanked Sir Uobert and retired. ~ POLITICAL REFORMS. ~ Messrs J. Batty and F. Jeune waited upon the Premier as a deputation from tho Radical Reform League,.. and laid before him the following list of necessary reforms which they wished taken into his serious consideration, and upon which they desired to have'an expression of opinion in the course of his public addross tonight, viz., Land Tax and Income Tax, Abolition of Plural .Voting, Protection of Local Indus tries, Local Self-Government, Defence or War Exponilituro.Ketrenchmont in Legisla tive Council and Houso of Representatives, and Reduction of Governor's Salary.

The Premior remarked that the list was certainly a long one, and while an hour and α-half would probably be quite long enough for a public address, it was hardly more than sufficient for dealing fairly with ono of the subjects brought under his notice. Mr F. Jeune (laughingly): Yes ;itis a day's work. Mr Batty said that it was not, of course, expected that the Premier should deal ex hauatively with the questions in the course of his address, but the League desired to hare his serious consideration given to them. At any rate,four or five of tho sub jects mentioned might be grouped together end disposed of under the head of retrench- < menb.

The Premier pointed out that the country could hardly go in for a Land and Income Tax, and still continuo tho Property Tax. Mr Batty fully agreed with this, and aaid tho League desired to have the Property Tax, thinking it unwise to discourage a man's industry by taxing his improve ment?.

The Premier said that he had intended to deal with tho question of retrenchment. So far as the outlay on defence was con cerned, our defensive forces were far less expensive now, and more officient.than they had ever been before. Aβ for the falling otf in Cuetoms revenue, that arose from the tact that our duties were levied on the value of goods, and not on the quantity. The quantity was aa great as ever, but the prices paid for imported goods were less, and consequently there was a dimin ished revenue from that source. At any rate,he would deal generally to-night with these retrenchment questions. As for the Civil Servico, there were some departments of it which we're not at all well-paid. The Post Office officials might be mentioned for example. Mr Jenne admitted the fact.

The Premier went on to cay that the rail way officials, and the police and Armed Constabulary could hardly be considered to be well paid, tho latter, for instance, only receiving 5s a day. There were other branches of the Civil Service in a similar position. Mr Jeano believed that there were many othern which were not in the same position, and this, too, at a time when thousands of people throughout the colony were starving for want of money. Mr Batty added that the taxpayer felt the pinch at the present time, whether or not the Civil Service did.

The Premier : It comes just to this -that in the first people havo not paid sufficient attention to tbo creation and fostering of industries that would suit id this colony, end that there has been too great a disposi tion to gather about the towns. Mr Batty suggested that the Premier should also tonight take the opportunity to state the advantages of perpetual lease > holds over freeholds)

The Premier replied that he would do hie beet to touch upon all the questions thai had been placed before him. The deputation then withdrew.

Other deputations received in the after noon embraced one headed by Mr Thomp son, M.H.H., with reference to a lawyer alleged to have absconded with money belonging to a native chief, and an One hunga deputatioh ro cemetery reserve. Bishop Luck also interviewed the Premier.

THE GOLD DISCOVERY AT WAITOA.

(BY TELEORAFH- OWN CORKESPOUBEST.)

Tβ Aroha, this day. The prospects are very encouraging this week, the auriferous deposit lately discovered at Mr J. B Smith's baa been visited by several experienced miners, all of whom appeared impressed with the importance of the discovery, and amongst whom were Messra H. H. Adam?, S. J. Hirst, H. Goldeworthy and Mr Hirst, who has recently returned from a visit to the Silverton, Mount Morean, and other leading goldfields dis tricts. At Mr Smith's request, Mr Adams took fair average samples from each side of a square shaft some 15 feet deep now being sunk through the deposit, and Mr Adams reports results of assay as follows : —No. 1, from upper part of shaft gold Bdwt, Bilver, 6dwts; value per ton, £1 13s. No. 2, gold 5 dwte, silver i dwts; value £1 8a per ton. No. 3, test from different places nil. everything so far goes to confirm the opinion that the discovery may prove of great importance, the above. tests being taken wholesale, whilst it could be broken out at very small coet, say about Is Gd per ton.

A WONDERFUL.

WATCH

THE CORRECT TIME FOR THIRTEEN AND SIXPENCE.

One of tho chief signs of tho progress of the ajre in which wo livo is the rapid im provement of machinory, and its tendoncy to cheapen tho requirements of modern life. Fifty years ago, for instanco, only a rich man could own a watch, and tho majority ot mankind wcro obliged to cal culate tho time by tho sun's altitude, the village dial in the old churchyard, or a generation further back, by the hour-gins?. Today, however, tho importanco of timo obtains a wider recognition—not only as f> convenience or a luxury, but as tho abso lute essence of business, and n reliable timeWeoper is a primary requisito alike of the merchant mid hia clerk, tho cmployor and tho employee, tho schoolmaster and tho pupil, the young and the old, Ihe rich and tho poor. A timepioco ot somo *orb is positively indisponsablo Only <\ jewelled watch timed to split, the seconds in a" luxury. A good, serviceable, rolinlilo watch is a necessity—tho first, requisite of social and business lifo—and auch a ono is the Waterbury, the cheapest and mneb reliable watch in tho world. The Water bury is so cheap that everybody can afford to own ono, and its cheapness arises from the supreme simplicity of its construction. Because it is cheap, however, don'b re gard it a? a toy or children's watch. It is equal in appearance, finish, and accuracy, to tho most expen sive article suporior in strength and durability, and will cost loss to repair thnh any other. Tho Waterbury is in ovnry respect essentially tho watch for tho mechanic, tho clerk, tho miner, the bush man, the working man—in a word, tho watch for tho people, and is within tho reach of all.

I was responsible for tho time used, and started all trains by your watch. Mr Gunther, our President, stated that ho never knew them run as regularly as they were tho past season, and I showed tho Waterbury watch 1 ran them by. I stopped every morning during the season and coin pared it with the chronometer at hlio l.orif; island Depot, and found it did not vary half a minuto the entiro season. This statement is truthfully correct. Wμ. S. Blydknhuku, Dep6t-master, Brooklyn, Barth, and t'oiioy Island Railroad.

REPAIR DEPARTMENT.

Tho Waterbury is not only tho cheapest watch in the world to buy, but the cheap est to repair as well. With the same care bestowed upon it as upon an ordinary watch, it will outlast its most expensive rivals, and should it get out of order Messrs. E. Porter and Co. have arranged with a first=class watchmaker to repair at a price which will not exceed half-a-crown. Watches can be mailed for ropair in tho satin-lined cases in which they are packed, and in this case ninepence for return pos tage and registration should be added. Pbice 13s. 6d.

AMUSING ELECTION AD DRESS.

(nYTELEGK.VTU-OWN COItREirONDENT )

Wellington, this day. Mr Nancarkow's addroea to Tβ Aro elec tors last night was an excruciatingly funny affair. Between the old gentleman's quaint and homely diction and hie peculiar idea?, his address was moro amusing than an average comedy The candidate de clared himself an uncompromising protec tionist, and a thorough going supporter of the profiont Government. Uo considered it a downright shame that the Government had tho impudenoe to send away for electric lighting machinery when it could bo pro duced in the colonies. Sir Juliue Vogcl was a great man, greater thaa ovon Lord Beaconeßeld was, mid as to tho other mem bers of the Ministry they woro right enough. The idea of leasing the railways to pay Goulds and Vanderbilts was denounced as " perfect rot," and Mr Nancarrow thought Sir Hubert Stout out of bis depth in regard to tho nationalisation of tho land. In con cluding his random address, which was fro quently interrupted by cachinatory roan , ) tae candidate promisrd to " work like a nigger" for tho electors if returned. A vote of thanks boing proposod, Captain Williams began : "I beg to aiovo that, on account of his old age—"when he was inter rupted by hieting, hooting aud general up roar, A voto of thanks was then carried W r Nancarrow's circle of friends will not bo much surprised to ltarn that his chaoces of boing returntd aro considered emill indeed.

The Hon. Mr Larnach accompanied by Colohel Fraser M.H R., proceeded to Coro tnandel at noon today, and will proceed overland to the Thames. Beforehis departure Mr Larnach was interviewed by Mr Mase field and Mr Jamee, Secretary to the Whau Whau Colliery Company, regarding the selling up of the VVhangarei Harbour which waa alleged to be caused by the depositing thereon of tho debris from the mine. Mr Larnach informed tho deputa tion that the Government did not wish to take the company unaware?, but it would be well if they would look round for some other means of disposing of the mfning debris. Captain Fairchild, of the Hinemoa, or Captain Gray, of the Stella, would be requeeted to eurvey the harbour the first time either if them visited these waters.

Several properties were offered for sale by auction tc-day, but the only traneaotion of any consequence was an allotmont No. 3 of section 8 in Emily Place and Jermyn street by Mesere Tonka and Company for £2,0)50.

The Hon. J. Ballanee addressed his constituents ot Wanganui last night at the close receiving a unanimous voto of thands and confidence. Mr Ormond gave an address at Napier last night is (ha course of which he criticised tho Prenrer and the Governmeot. A vote of thanks and confidence was carried by a large majority.
