the pamphlet asserts is the outcome of our free, secular, and compulsory system of education, are also to be found in the deno minational system, but in a far greater de gree than is apparent in our secular'school?. Reason and experience both teach us that a denominational system of education |s not fit for a democratic country like New Zealand. It is shown by statistics that as a moral, order-loving, law-abiding people we are superior to any country where the denominational system of education is in force. Compare the criminal statistics from the time since our present system of educa tion came into force with the denomina tional system, which preceded it, and you will find that our Bible-in-school friends will be somewhat startled'at the rash state ments which they make against our secular system of education."

City Council Tendering.—ln the course of some remarks on the above subject, " City Ratepayer " says :—" Our Council, in its wisdom, always takes the lowest ten der. But it very often is a question if this is by any means the cheapest in the end. Never mind if the lowest tenderer is com petent or not. As long as ho or they can raise the deposit, and happen to g-et the low est, then- tender will be accepted ; often to cost for the same contract half as much again in a short time to patch it up. I should have thought " once bit, twice shy," but no—the same style, sir. It is time new blood was placed in our City Council. Let the ratepayers look to it next time that an election takes place that we get some men who are independent and carry common sense Avith them to our Council meetings.— Yours, etc., City Ratepayer.

Law and. Justice. —" Justice " sends a letter ; bearing the above i heading. He states :—" On the 16th instant two cases of illegal scales and weights came before the Police Court. The one pleads guilty to the charge of having unstamped weights, and the prosecuting sergeant asks for a nominal fine, and obtains Is and ,costs ; while tho other poor culprit, who has for some time, and still is Struggling hard to make an honest living in the face of many difficulties, likewise pleads guilty to the charge- of having light weights, though ho was not aware, until seized, that they were light, as they bore the Government stamp. But in this ease the poor fellow, struggling hard to keep afloat, must be pressed extremely hard— being fined £5 and expenses. in all £6 18s, has his scales and weights confiscated, and is given until two o'clock to pay the fine. This, and the fact that after the defendant pleaded guilty, the prosecuting sergeant insisted in producing evidence, and strives to increase the enormity of the poor fellow's offence or misfortune. I am nob writing from per sonal feelings, for I know neither of the in dividuals in question ; but I think we should neither have undue license nor severity, especially when left a discretion ary matter with our J. P. % This case cer tainly reminds us that we want less law and more Justice.

The Credit System.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—On all hands it is admitted that the reckless credit system i that has obtained in the past in Auckland is to a large extent responsible for the present trouble in commercial circles. With special force does this apply to the soft goods trade. Wholesale firms, by what is known in the trade as "dating forward," and other questionable methods, have been forcing the trade to such an extent that failures and arrangements for some time past have been the order of the day among retailers, much to the hurt not only of the wholesale firms, but still more to the legitimate honest trader who pays 20s in the £. To improve matters a meeting of warehousemen was he'd a few days ago, and I think it will surprise many to learn that the terms unanimously agreed to are such that cash customers uill be the sufferers in the future, while, except in the matter of "forward dating" (which will affect cash and credit customers alike), there is no alteration whatever made from the old terms, to the disadvantage of the credit customers. Now, I submit that on the part of the wholesale firms this is a short-sighted policy. It will most certainly encourage a credit trade, which is to be deprecated. It will drive cash buyers to other markets, and it is further more unfair to cash buyers, as the terms for them will be no better, nor as good as in England, where money is much cheaper than in the col6nies. The case stands thus : The rate of discount for cash transactions is to be reduced about one third, which will put cash buyers in a worse position than the same are in England, because dating forward largely prevails there, and money is nob worth so much. : It would seem as if the wholesale firms m Auckland do not like cash buyers. They prefer such a system to obtain as will keep retailers well. under their thumb, and so prevent them from importingl; bub it is too late in the day for such a system to succeed, and tho sooner, the wholesale: trade see this the better for themselves, as this is a matter iv which the entire public are interested.—l am, etc., Ready Money.

THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONIALS Show the Utility of LAME'S PATENT PORRIDGE MEAL. Auckland, June 14,1887. John Lamb, Esq. Dear Sir,r-It lias been on my mind for some timo now to drop you a line about your Patent Porridgo Meal. I believe you are aware I have suffered considerably from injury to the stomach from tea-tasting, and having consulted my medical adviser, he strongly refommended Porridge for breakfast, widen I have taken until I heard of your Patent Porridge M eal. I may hero say the Oatmeal soon caused unplea santness, sourness of the stomach, and pimples and spots, with irritation, on the surface of the body. From this I was glad to get away, and at once took to your Patent Porridge Meal. With it I find none of the irregularities com plained of above, but a most palatable Porridge, and the whole system free from unpleasantness or irritation. 1 oan strongly recommend it, and certainly think you should do a large trade in such an excellent article.—Yours very truly, (Signed) FREDK. WHITEHEAD. Industrial School, Koliimarama, Auckland, June 2,1887. Mr John Lamb. Sir,—Wo have now been using your Patent Porridge Meal at this school for two months, and I consider it but right to inform you that we all (staff as well as boys) like it so well that I would find it a difficult matter to get them to return to using oatmeal. It is without a doubt a splendid article of diet. 1 may add on my representing to the Education Department in Wellington that I was using your Patent Por ridge Meal instead of Oatmeal, I received authority from Rev. Mr Habens, Secretary for Education, to continue its use in the school. —Yours faithfully, (Signed) GEORGE P. HOGAN, Manager. Ponsonby, Auckland, May 30,1887. Mr John Lamb. Dear Sir,—l think it a duty to let you know results of your Patent Porridge Mai on our youngest boy, He was weakly, and refused every food preparation that coud be got. but upon getting some of yours he took to it at once, and afterwards nothing would satisfy nim but i this porridge. Five or six times a day is not too i much for him, and seeing it being prepared cried until he got it. He is now strong and healthy, and can eat anything. Wishing you ; success,—l remain, yours, &0., (Signed) W. CARDER. Orphan Home, Parnell, ■ , May 25,1887. ; JMr John Lamb: Dear Sir,—We are greatly pleased withyoui ; Patent Porridge Meai, having used it for some | time.
