FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 1887.

For the cauae that lacks assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance For the future in the distance, And the good that -we can do.

It is matter for regret that the meet ing of ladies convened by the Mayoress for the purpose of considering Lady Jervois's suggestion re the formation of a Queen's Fund should have been so poorly attended. The project seemed to hang fire, it was not fully enough discussed, and with regard to the resolutions arrived at, there /was some dissidence of opinion. Under these circumstances, it would have been wiser to have de layed a decision, and in the mean time the proposals brought forward could have been more leisurely re viewed and means have been taken to ensure a fuller attendance of ladies to pronounce a verdict upon them. As matters stand, rather less than a score of ladies have committed the com-; munity to a scheme which lacks definiteness of aim, and the dissen tients, we understand, have taken up a position of such active hostility as to seriously menace the success of a very philanthropic appeal. Now, unanimity of feeling and hearty co operation of effort are unquestionably essential to the satisfactory achievement; of the object in view. AVould it nob be prudent and politic, then, to pause a. little in order to obtain these' con ditions to success? The strong com mon sense and practical spirit of' our women may be depended on to affirm; the question. There is always a dangei: in doing things too hastily. The trite* and homely axiom, " That it is better to be sure than sorry," is pregnant with a wisdom derived from universal ex-

penence.

The proposition over which the meeting divided was one for the creation of a fund to found a home for the training of nurses. This proposal is a most excellent one, and it was re jected without due consideration. It; was objected that there was no chance of getting a sufficient sum for the pur pose, and this is probably true- Inquiry might, however, have been, made whether the proposal might not' have been made to tit in with Councillor Kidd's excellent proposal at the Hos pital Committee for a regular system of training for nurses in the Hospital, and the issue of certificates of competency. The want of expe rienced nurses is one that is only too sadly felt by the sick An organisation to which application could be made whenever a skilled nurse was wanted would be a great boon to women. Still we are notsurethat the scheme would command sufficient popular sympathy to produce the funds that would be required in order to put it on a working footing. On the other hand there is a feeling in connection with the scheme that .was adopted that it is not altogether desirable that the money to be collected should be placed in the hands of an irresponsible committee for disbursement at their own discretion.:! No fault can be found with the com-; position of the Provisional Committee, and we only give regard to the | principle of the thing. It must be considered entirely in the ab stract. Again, v/ould not a com mittee appointed with a vague commission to afford " relief to women in distress" be likely to interfere un necessarily with the operations of the Charitable Aid Board and the Bene volent Society 1 It would practically enter into rivalry with those organisa tions, and its machinery is not likely to be so efficient as that of the Board. Designing and unscrupulous people would be sure to trade upon the sym pathies of the ladies and obtain relief from them while also hanging to the skirts of the official dispensers of public charity. Of course, such imposture might be thwarted by the ladies who administer the Queen's Fund acting in co-operation with the Charitable Aid Board. That would certainly be ' a relief of tho burden cast. upon the

public. But then the subscribers must be allowed to select the administrating body.. Otherwise a self-elected body would have carte blanche to disburse public money, and discontent would be sure to arise.

All things considered, we think it would be a graceful and judicious act on the part of the promoters of the Fund —say the Provisional Committee —to summon another meeting to re view, and either modify or confirm the decisions already arrived at. Having agreed to take this step, they could exert themselves to secure a large and representative assemblage' of the ladies of Auckland. Towards the attainment of this result the Angli can and Boman Catholic Bishops, the Jewish Rabbi, and the ministers of the various congregations in Auckland, could lend most powerful assistance. And we are sure they would do so, for the purpose in view appeals to all classes, creeds, and divisions.

LIMITATION OF VOTES BILL.

We are not prepossessed with closure rules in any deliberative assembly. Obstruction has done good service sometimes in preventing wrong and in securing a popular right. And if. all representatives were intelligent and patriotic enough to know how to exer cise their privileges " discreetly, there would be no occasion to put down the iron hand in order to secure the reasonable will of the majority. The experience of all legislative bodies, however, has been that unbounded license of debate under forms of busi ness which admit of very wide latitude for discussion, is more often the cause of thwarting than of aiding popular rights. An instance of this occurred last night, when Sir George Grey succeeded in passing his bill, limiting the right to vote in elections to two electoral dis tricts, through all but the final stage. The majority in its favour in the House was shown by the final division to be more than two to. one—namely, 43 to 17. Yet two members —Messrs Samuel and Hatch—by talking against time to empty benches, succeeded in staving off the third reading until other business set down on the order paper for a fixed time came on, and the bill was driven out. Now, we suppose that no one will contend that a legislative body can, with dignity to itself or justice to the country, allow its authority to be thwarted in this manner. It will, therefore, be the duty of whatever Ministry occupy the Benches in the new Parliament to introduce a measure to pro tect the House from a repetition of such conduct, and the rule adopted in England, which empowers'the Speaker, when moved thereto by the leader of the House of Commons, to ask the House to decide whether a question shall be put to the vote without further debate, appears the most simple and least dangerous mode of applying the closure.

REVOLTING REVELATIONS IN ENGLAND.

When a dead set was being made by a large section of the press two years ago against Mr Stead for his " Pall Mall Gazette" revelations, we ventured to put. in a plea on his behalf. He acted indiscreetly in testing the in famous machinery which he discovered for the purpose of satisfying himself and convincing others that it existed, and he was punished severely for his error. Nevertheless no one doubted that the terrible evil which he exposed in lan guage altogether too realistic actually existedr—that there waSj in fact, carried en in Christian England right under the noses of.the authorities, a traffic as re volting, as soul-debasing,, as ruinous to a nation physically and morally as anything to be found in the most bar barous land on the face of the earth. Despite their denials aad ejaculations of disbelief, and lofty disapproval of Mr Stead, and the " Pall Mall Gazette," the noble obstruc tionists who. had previously resisted the law which placed the legal res ponsibility for juvenile immorality v 9011 men, felt that they could beard the moral conviction of the co'.intry no longer. The Criminal Law Amendment Bill, raising the age of consent to sixteen, passed without further demur:- Recently" there has beerr. a movement emanating from a section of those traditional obstruc tionists to reform' — the Judges — against this righteous'law. The society in whose cause Mr Stead sacrificed so much has, however, been on the alert, and the revolting disclosure*? which, it is reported by our cablegrams to-day, have been made through their agency, will, we hope, end for ever thet, con troversy so far as the justice of thjs law is concerned. We only regrefc that the Hon. Mr' Tole's efforts... to have it placed on the. Statute book of New Zealand were not successful. If he had succeeded there are scoundrels in this, city- who ,at this moment, instead of walking at large would, be serving out well merited sentences in Mount Eden Gaol for the wrongs: committed by them against innocent, children who ought to have received tiheir protection rather than have been degraded and wronged through their vile 2>assions.

Mrs .Ernest Ford, of Russell, died on Saturday last, after a long and painful ill-] ness. Her complaint was consumption. Mr Ford is still in Fiji. The executives of the various Trade and Labour Unions should see that their mem bers are placed upon the electoral1 roll before the time has passed for doing so.

No; business was transacted at the Devon port Jubilee Institute meeting last evening owing to the small attendance, and the meeting adjourned for a week. r
