THURSDAY, JUNE 23, 1887.

Sir George Grey's address to ihe electors of Auckland East to xaoti ow will open the political campaign. It is understood that the great Kad ical leader has some definite schema to submit to the country which I he believes will revive its prosperity. and, whether this be so or noU the speech will doubtless be one t io set men thinking. Some years ago i Sir George Grey propounded a schern -.c for settling the land on an extensive scale with English tenant far tners, who are suffering under the j ex treme pressure of low prices and high rents. Possibly the settle itaent proposals which are to be explain ed to the electors to-morrow night will ••have some reference to that scheme.

Among all the remedies for " 'I .ard times," there is none so simplie, so natural, and so unfailing in a com itry having a large area of unset tied territory, as location on the ]j md. Therein lie the firstsources of all tre-i Ith. Any family once fairly settled is se< aire of a living, and is helping ~ others ' to live. Every scheme which advaa; ices the good cause is deserving of support, and among these projects Capi .am Daveney's scheme for locating a li .rge body of pensioners upon. the land under settlement condiHj ons ought to command the attention!, of die Government. We learn that sio.me settlers, attracted by the announce ments with regard to this scheme, have come here on their or, m motion, and have taken up land on the Vil lage Settlement block. '.Recent letters from them speak very hopefully of their prospects.

Pensioners are ey.centionally well adapted in their circumstances for making homes up on the ■, land. The first struggle is th ie WO rst, and capital in some form mr. s t be found until the land* can V_ made productive. A man who has a pension is able to maintain- himself upon his holding at a very kmall cost until his cultiva tions conve to the aid of his monetary receipts /Srom the Imperial Treasury. It is, no-doubt, necessary that any pro jectf or.alienating the lands of the Crown shaljl be sanctioned only upon conditions that will ensure.settlement. All mili tary settle-tnent schemes in the past have not by any4means been successes. Many of/the claims of old soldiers which are still an unliquidated obligation,, are a legacy of abor tive attermpts to settle the coun try in this way. Nevertheless, under proper regulations such settle ments t.ave been conspicuous by their success in New Zealand and at Cape

Colony; and at the* present mpment, when every device that promises to help the colony out oi the_ un healthy channel of a \fictitious loan-created briskness into^one of solid, steady, progress, ought."l-to re ceive wr attention, this one .of en couraging pensioners to go upou the lands claims more consideration tiian it has hitherto received from the Go^f*"-** ment. ... »

THE COST OF ROYALTY.

Two writers, whose letters appear \n our correspondence columns ttV day, make some inquiries antl comments with reference to the points raised in our article upon the Queen's income on Monday last. When we come to look into ancient titles of any kind in Great Britain, it is a troublesome mattea* to say what, if judged by our present standards, is a good title and what is .not. The seizures of Williamrthe Conqueror, for example, and his apportionments among his followers^ seem, at thfe first blush, to be simple robbery. Yet we act upon exactly 'the same principle to-day. The lanc>.s of the Waikato were taken from the original owners by right of conqurist, and were appor tioned among the*, conquerors, and the j Maori possessors, who preceded us coiild show no better title. The large grant made recently from the public purse to Lord MVolseley to support his title also differs,1 very little .from similar ? rants in the prist. Now, according to >omesday Book, the Crown was pos sessed at that time, of 1,4.22 manors or lordships, besides /lands and farms in three counties^ These estates have,how ever, undergo-nemany variations —some kings, like, reckless noblemen, dis sipating their* estates, and others making new;ap .propriations. In Queen Anne's reign, t ac control of these lands was removed!,,''from the sovereign j and placed undem' the direction of Parlia ment. The/net revenues of the Duchy o.fLancastei-j however, inherited from Henry the, IV., are still paid over to the soy© reign, and the proceeds of the Duchy * of Corn wall to "the Prince of Wales. Be .tween 1877 and 1882, the Queen's average receipts from,the for mer were^J 43,000, a yearand the Duchy of Corn-,<rall last year yielded the Prince of Wal.es The net revenue; from forests,.andland revenues 01-.tKe Crow _in 1885 , amounted, to which was paid into ;the puVdc exchequer. ..In addition to! this, theve ai?e peirtaining to the Cro^ r-n, under yarious funrepealed laws, what are ca'iled ' the "Hereditary Revenues/ wiiich.are classed under the following headings : —ltereditary excise, heredi tary i jpst-office» duties, first fruits; and; teutl/,3 of the clergy, pdst fin.es, j land j rent/ j arid fines of 'leases, - rents' and quif, rents in, the colonies, revenue of j wir ie licenses, process and composition: mc-neys in the Exchequer, seizures of co' ntrabaiid and ._, illicit goods, the _\ _>' er* cent.,duties, receipts from Hana- Jf jer,\ criminal ( fines and,: fprfeitufes,^ droits from the Crown ; and Ad miralty, casual /.revenues., ,It would occupy too much . space... to ex plain these fully. By. agreement, at the beginning of each reigb. the Crown surrenders all to the Exchequer in con sideration .of the Civil List voted by Parliaroenty The Crown's Tight to these revenues stands upon about as good a footiug as the right of the descendants of the Duke of Marlborough and others to the,enormous hereditary pensions voted in times past. Of course, if Royalty were abolished Parlia-' ment might confiscate to the people the whole of the Ctown lands and revenues, just as it might appropriate the es tates held by the aristocracy which are held under .Crown. title. Two things, however, must be borne in mind in considering the amount paid to the Queen—the first is that she receives very much .less than the sovereigns of other first-class European Powers; and second that .she rules oyer a wealthy country iii which the incomes of j some of the nobles and even commoners are not inferior to her own. .

STANLEY'S AFRICAN EXPEDI TION.

So great and manifold are *the dan-, gers aud; difficulties *that beset-the ex neditiOn sent into"' t__h heart of Cfeutral

Africa' to .rescue Emiri Bey,' tha^dis aster and disappointment ;-are seme thing more than mere possibilities. Relief was therefore experienced when a message, was received the other da,v from Stanley, the intrepid, head of the expedition, proving that he has so far succeeded: jin j his object. He reports that famine pre vails in' the country around Wadelai, the place where the German doctor is believed to-be beleaguered. In a pre vious despatch, Stanley had asanonnced that he expected to reach Dr. Emm in July, but it would seem that he has made more rapid progress than he had calculated upon. He has not, however, reached his present position without having to contend with many obsta cles. .In. passing through the T>gogo Country, he and his followers .were nearly starved to death. Starting oh 13th. November last; it took the |par ty over six weeks, to; get through, thfc region, and then nearly one-fou.rth of. the rank and, file had deserted, thirty had died or were on the sick list, and Stanley himself was ill of feVer and want of proper food. Thus far therejiad been no resistance oiu the part of the natives, the chiefs merely exacting the usual toll from travellers. Sixty-five days had been spent., in travelling 400 miles, and his progress after that was likely to be slower be cause of the opposition of warlike natives. Mtesa, the King of the Uganda.
