It may be aaid of a too large theatre hat, like some other disagreeable things, that there is likely to be a woman at the bottom of it.

TheTauranga "News" saya that Messrs Chappell, Waters, Brown, and Company, who lately left Auckland, have proceeded to Matata for the purpose of getting ou* sulphur to supply an order for the Auckland Freezing Company,. Although Auckland Caledonian Society is being wound up, the Burns Club and Literary Society is more vigorous than ever, Last night the sub-committees who have the arrangements for the Burns Anniversary celebration in band met and compared notes.

In only five cases was death attributable directly to intemper ance. The Christchurch " Press ". states that alter many disappointments Mr J. T. Matson has been successful in hatching out a brood of young ostriches, seven in number. The young birds are strong and healthy, and likely to do well. Mr Matson has persevered after eeveral disappointments, and ho is to be congratulated on' his

success,

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The Hospital and Charitable rate in New Zealand is generally recognised to be the thin end of the wedge of a regular poor law which shall have the ultimate effect of dividing the population of the colon into' two great classes - the pauper and the non-pauper community. To Bhow the en ormous proportions to which pauperism may grow under Buch a Bystem it ia only necessary to glance at the social and economic history of Great Britain and Ireland for two hundred years or two. The care of the poor, formerly a feudal obligation, camu to be dis charged by the church, but in course of time proved too extensive foi any. such treatment, and the State had. to under take the reliief of poverty. The policy is a wrong one as adopted in England, but once entered upon there U apparently no retreat frem it short of revo lution ; the evil must go oh increasing and growing upon whatit feeds on. Theseventy eighth annual poor rate return for 1884 85, states that the total amount of poor rate raised during the year in the United Kingdom was £14 501,844. The expendi ture amounted to £15,731,366, of which £6,560,678 was spent on purposes altogether unconnected with the relief of the, poor. These are portentous figures, proving that a sum larger than the total re venue of some sovereign states is annually expended in the support of a pauper class—not casual poor, be it remembered, but actually to a great oxtent people by the thousand who ore paupers born and bred, and have no hope of ever being anything else.

Yet thia system, with all its revolting possibilities, is what it has been found expedient to introduce into thin young country; for it ia opparent that it is only a question of timo when "charitable aid " will develop into pauper relief—if, indeed, the distribution at present ia more thai, a mere euphemistic one. There is a sub committee of the Kxecutive of the Auckland Charitable Aid Board engaged at the present moment in an inquiry inta the feasibility r f estab'.irh ng a " labour test " in connection with appli cants for rdief, and theio appeats to be a general fie ing in iha community that some fivh test is nccefpary, in order to prevent imposition by lazy ! and improvident people. Mr Graham, the Relieving (. fficer, from whom the sugges tion emanated, us reported in our yesterday's issue, do doubt means vrott, but ia 1-e aware, or do others not suspect, th; t this move is a regular step in tl c evolution of the " workhouse" syetem. whicb lias been adopted in tho old country ? One false step leads rupidly to another, and ere we are fully nlive to tho situation, wo fh 11 have all the evils of pauperism flout inning on our virgin Eoil, whero nothing but what is good and ennobline should bo allowed to take root. It ia to ba heped that a vigorous protest will bo entered against any further prcgrts? being made on tho | pownwartl path, which leads ultimately to j Socialist, agitation and anarchy . The true ! remedy is to adjust social condition?, parti cularly the lawe relating to tho ownership lof land; to shift Iho incidencoof toxa j tion so as to beat1 equally upon all c!os-os ; Ito encourage h>»bits of thrift and industry, j and if need be tc induce a pcheme lof compuUo:y insurance for all thoicdus i trial classes- If thoto t?iing3 be not ! looked to now, there "Is ' nothing that ' will " cave 'u^ from* the eternal ilifgrace of caltivating the upas-tree of. pauperiem, and perpetuating the worst 1 ocial blunders of older communities.
