?or the c»nse that lacks assistance, For tho irrong that needs resistance, Tor the future in the distance. And the good that vie can do.

If the Representation Bill fail to pass, and Auckland is thus deprived of the increased number of members to which she is entitled by population, then we shall have Mr Dargaville to thank for, itj. The demand made in the House by the Opposition.early on Saturday morning, that the Premier should dis tinctly promise to place the bill at the head of the Order Paper' for .Tuesday's sitting, was a • reasonable .one. The Bill,ought to,have been taken first on Friday, but through' Sir Robert Stouii's absence from the House another bill took precedence, and the opponents of the Representation Bill were thus enabled to. stonewall it out at that sitting. Now, if the Premier is really sincere in his oft-repeated expressions of anxiety to get the bill through, he, ought,,, of his own motion, to have promised the House that it should have precedence of all other business, in order that the financial policy of the Government might be discussed on its merits, and without reference to the other large question before the House. But ho not only refused:to- give that promise, but plainly intimated that unless members came to his terms the bill might be indefinitely postponed or dropped altogether. It was when the Opposition,; headed by.Mr Biyce, was endeavouring to compel the Government to push ,the bill through, on Tuosday, that Mr Dargaville, staiui ingalonoa'mQ\ig the Auckland membersj assisted the Promier in escaping from a position which avouW have mado the passing of the bill socuro. If, then, the; bill is jockeyed out of the House by those manipulations qf the Order l^aper Which are witliia'tho poivor of tho Government, the member for Auckland West will not find it an easy or a pleasant task .to explain why s ho actocl i.» direct - aritagomami t$ /tfye

other, Auckland members on this occasion. The-narrow oscapo from defeat which the Ministry ex-j perieaced in this division may, how ever, have been warning enough, and we shall, perhaps, see the bill afe the top of the Order Paper to-morrow after all. WeareatonewiththePremierinhis desire to see the population basis of re presentation carried out logically and to its full extent. The advantage ob tained by the country members in committee, making the unit of repre sentation 20 per cent, higher in towns than in the country, is an absurdity which has nothing to recommend it. But they already possess that advan tage under the existing law, and if the House insist upon retaining it, there is no purpose to be gained, except the robbery of the North, by allowing the bill to drop. When the last Repre sentation Act was passed, the South had been inflated by an enormous Govern ment expenditure and free immigra tion. The North Island, -which was placed at a disadvantage by it, with drew opposition only after a provision had been inserted in the bill which compelled a review of the Re presentation in 1887. The belief then cherished that, left to the operation of natural causes, the population of the North Island would increase more rapidly, than ; the population of the South, has been fulfilled, and now that the time has come to obtain justice, no Auckland I member may hope for pardon who fails to use his utmost endeavours to guard the rights of his constituents in this matter. \

THE PEOPLES PALACE.

Those persons, if there are any, who still nurture the antiquated notion that a novel is a frivolous if not a wicked literary work, pregnant with evil but incapable of achieving* any good, will a-£ad -with , amazement the report, cabled today, of the great popular demonstration in connection with the opening of the People's Palace in the East End.of London, by Her Majesty the Queen. The happy idea which re sulted, in this remarkable institution originated'irTthe- brain of Mr Walter Besant, and was developed in his popular novel, "All Sorts ami Conditions of Men." The aim of the author, which wa3 developed with all,,'his' literary genius and skill, was to" ~ give a faithful picture of the dull monotonous Jife of the denizens of East London—a region as unknown to the Westender as Tim btictoo. But not. satisfied Avith doing .tliatj, Mr Be3ant did what few novelists attempt—he sketched put what lie considered the proper remedy for their condition. Being one of utter joylesness, which in ths course of nature found a vent for its woes in dissipation orin fulminations against the Government and the prevailing order of things, he conceived, that what the people wanted most was harmless plea sure, to-let a gleam of sunshine through the - Jeaden sky that overshadowed their £ existence, and to make them ?ontouted aud sober by making them happy. The " Pallace of Delight "was a brilliant, if somewhat fantastic creation, and- what the novelist-con ceived another, enthusiast undertook to work Out. It has been uphill work to raise the money, but earnestness and determination have carried the day, aud the Peoples Palaceismm a reality^Will it realise the dreams of its promoters 1 That is a question for the future to answer; but it stands to-day a monu ment *of the genuine zeal .among those who possess wealth in Eng land for the improvement of the con dition of those .who .are less fortun ately situated. It;' may fairly be set down txT the" credit of "Englishmen, that no nation in the world can vie with her in the varietj 7 and munificence of her philanthropic undertakings.

It is generally understood that Mr W. R WaddeT will contest the City West con •stituoncy at the next general election.

NEW GUINEA MISSION.

We learn with satisfaction that the Rev. S. Macfarlane, whose long missionary labours and explorations in New Guinea have made his name known and affectionately, remem bered by all concerned in that country, has just received tho h'oribur of LL.D. from the University of St. Andrew's, Scotland. One of Mr Macfarlane's most able co-workers — .the Rev. Mr Scott, who has. been staying at Onehunga for some months with his brother (the Mayor of that place)—leavea for Eng land by the Aorangi shortly. ■ Mr and Mrs Scott:s field of labour was at Murray Island, where natives who were to be trained as teachers amongsfc their* brethren were brought and instructed in their duties and in the common language of the mission work in New Guinea, that of Murray" Island. These "Murray Islanders are,' or rather were, a fierce lot, and although the whole, population, only amounts to some 40Q.„. persons, the island .[...being only a small one, it used to be the custom for them to send parties out to the neighbouring coast of New Guinea and commit depredations upon the natives of that part. ' rFroni "Murray Island are supplied those armlets1 made of shell so dearly- prized by the natives of New Guinea, who ;will give a canoe repre senting months-of work for one of these ornaments. . . .

The Rev. Mr Pearce, whose labours in the South Seas are well known, succeeds Mr Scott, whose health failing him has necessi-. tated the sea trip and change of field of labpur. -. . : * ; , r:

It wals conducted by Mr Lankham, of Devonppi-t, who, with a number of friends from Auck land, very generously and gratuitously lent his assistance on the occasion. The morn ing was a regular down-pour of <rain.; The evening fortunately cleared up, and.it is to the credit of the school children that it re sulted in1 a" success.; They had previously sold tickets to the amount- of L 3 b's, and on tho evening, came in full attendance,'and seemed to thoroughly crij6y:the entertain ment.;; Therej was a. very choice selection of songs, which were ably rendered, and highly .appreciated by the audience. To individualise would be impossible.: The concert was opened by the Company sing ing, " God Save the Queen," and closed by the singers rendering " Auld Lang Syne."; Those who took jiai-t in the entertainment were Mr Lankham, Mias McMillan,; Mr Carter, Misa Moncur, Miss Cole, and Miss M.
