TUESDAY, JULY 19, 1887.

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

In his address at Kaiapoi last night the Minister of Public Works empha sised the fact that it is vain to look to the present Ministry for any reduc tion of Customs taxation or any sub stantial retrenchment by reducing the cost of the Civil Service. Mr Eichard son, indeed, claims that the Govern ment of which he is a member has already effected a very considerable saving in various branches of the public service j but these claims to re trenching seal have been so often shown to be purely bogus that any hope for future pruning that is based upon past achievements is likely to prove very delusive. While admitting in a general way that some saving may be effected in the Public Works De partment, Mr Richardson will not hear of the education ov defence votes being

touched. With the "roar" for re trenchment ringing in his ears he

jauntily declares that he will be no party to any policy of "cheese paring " —a declaration which is tant amount to saying that he will en courage the old system of extrava gance, which could only be tolerated while colonists were rolling in rough plenty, and had not felt the pinch of hard times. He claims that the proposed readjustment of tariff was designed to serve the twofold purpose of protecting local in dustries and increasing the Customs revenue. That the last named was the chief object is, however, clear from his growl at the decrease of revenue from that source, which was as much as ;£30,000 last year as compared with 1882. This, which he attributes to the growth of temperate habits, is in reality due to a falling off in the purchasing power of the people, and constitutes the strongest of all reasons for the crisis being met by reduction of expenditure and not by increase of taxation. The people are not to be fooled by being told that if they stop their consumption of strong drink they would be able to bear their burdens without an effort. They have reached that stage of political enlightenment when they mu3fc be satisfied that their burdens are necessary and equitable, failing which satisfaction they will place themselves under new taskmas ters.

THE LANGWORTHY MARRIAGE.

Our cablegrams yesterday announced that the Courts had awarded Mrs Langworthy the sum of ;£1,200 a year, or a total of and her child a year. This brief intima'ion relates to a case which has produced a tremendous sensation in England. It is also a great triumph for Mr Stead, of the " Pall Mall Gazette," through whose fearlessness one

of the greatest wrongs ever perpetrated on a woman has been re dressed, despite the most powerful in fluences which appeared to have para lysed the Courts, gagged the press, and driven a wronged woman to the verge of suicide. „

The story of the Langworthy mar riage was begun in the "Pall Mall Gazette " early in April last. Every evening three or four short chapters of an apparent story were given. The plot was sensational and excitable so far as literary skill could make it so; but the real interest hinged on one fact—all the statements made in the course of the narrative, the " Pall Mall" declared, were absolutely true There was no reticence or disguise; the names of living persons were used in the frankest manner. The hero and heroine were members of English society; all their intercourse with their friends, their letters, and the dates at which they did anything relevant to the story were laid out most explicitly. In outline the stoiy is like many another — a confiding girl and a treacherous man — bul the details render it more than usually horrible. Langworthy is a member of two West End clubs.theownerof a largefortune by inheritance,and the prospective heir to two others; his first wife was a daughter of the Earl of Limerick ; his second— the heroine —the daughter of an Irish land agent; he possesses vast estates in Buenos Ayres in addition to his English fortune, and is a thorough milord in all his habits of life. It seems that he met the lady in good English society, and, after proposing to her and being accepted, induced her to join his party in a yachting expedition which ultimately led them to Normandy. Here, by using the greatest pressure and misrepresentation, he prevailed upon her to acquiesce in a clandestine marriage by a French priest, whom he had bribed to perform the ceremony. With this his pseudo wife was dissatis fied, and it was not until after another marriage before an American pastor in Belgium, which she and the clergyman believed to be legally binding, that her scruples were ultimately overcome. Immediately after this ceremony she left him and returned to her family in the North of Ireland; but ultimately rejoined him in order to go out to Buenos Ayres. Up to this time all had been kindness and love; but as soon as Mr Laugworthy discovered that his wife would have a child, and that the marriage which he had kept secret from his own but not his wife's friends, could no longer be concealed, his whole course of conduct changed, and he indulged in the most persist ent and cold-hearted cruelty that has been heard of for .many years in real life. He destroyed all evidence of the marriage, and shipped his wife, ill and prostrate as she was, home to England, in a French sailing ship, the doctor tell ing her that she could not live. He let her know that the religious ceremony in Belgium was no legal marriage, that she was not his wife at all, and that unless she obeyed him she should be left in utter beggary and want.

All this was grossly inhuman and brutal, but it must be acknowleged with regret that there was nothing un usual in it except its extravagance. But the revelations of the " Pall Mall Gazette" bring to light the hollow ness and unreality of the justice admin istered in' English courts, and how suc cessfully a clever solicitor can protect his client. Mrs Lang worthy,, for tunately or unfortunately for her self, did not verify the doctor's predictions ; she neither died nor went mad, but lived on to struggle for the happiness of her child. She began proceedings against her hus band for restitution of conjugal rights some years ago, and followed it up by a a petition for divorce; but Langworthy used every species of artifice to hush the matter up and avoid punishment— constant appeals on inter

locutory points in order to exhaust his wife's resources, transfer of all his English property to his mother, so that there was nothing within jurisdic tion for the Court to seize upon, and every other device which a firm of soli citors hitherto deemed of high repute .could suggest. His wife obtained a decree nisi for divorce and a judgment for p£1,200 a year, but there was no property of Langworthy's in England from which it could be taken, so that he snapped his fingers at the English Courts; his only difficulty being that from time to time he wanted to visit England, and then his wife went in pursuit. His last stay there was cut short by her discovery of his hotel, and he only eluded her by a fictitious telegram and flight to France. The greatest possible interest and sympathy was excited in the case. The "Pall Mall Gazette" opened a subscription list to defray the cost of carrying on operations against Lang worthy in the Argentine Courts, and ;£1,300 was rapidly subscribed by per sons whose sympathies were aroused by the narration of the lady's wrongs This story throws such a lurid light upon the power of riches to defeat justice and crush the weak, even in England, that we intend to re-publish it, and give the first chapter to-day. The second part will appear to-morrow, and so on from day to day to the close. On entering upon this crusade —as in his former attack upon vice in high places—Mr Stead encountered the opposition and incurred the condem nation of the fashionable organs and reviews, but public opinion sounded a very different note. His success in obtaining justice for Mrs Langworthy will be recorded as another great triumph in his remarkable journalistic career.

The first chapters of a story of real life, entitled " The Langworthy Marriage,'' which has made a tremendous sensation in England, are published in our issue to-night It will be continued nightly till the finish. The question of cutting down Hobson streeb appears to have dropped out of the public mind, for nothing is now heard about it. This, however, cannot last long, for what man will not.-at tend to Nature has apparently taken in hand. Gradually, bit by bit, the heavy rains are causing the hill to slip away, and one house will at the present rate be soon rendered unfit for occupa tion. The end of Swanson-streefc also requires attention. Originally a protecting fence was erected to prevent people from going over the end where the cutting has been made. This fence has, however, long since contributed to lighting the fires of the adjacent residents, and now there is nothing left to prevent a person from going right over. Previously, a flight of steps led down from the end of Swanson street to the new level of Hobson-street. There was also a shoot made to carry off the storm water. But now all is changed ; the water has cut a deep channel beneath the shoot,and consequently almost cut away the steps. But a little longer, and there will be no method of egress from Swanson into Hobson-street. When there has been an other big slip and compensation claims are pouring into the Council, no doubt the work will be pushed forward vigorously. To the Editor: Sir,—ln last evening's Stak, I notice a local which says my claim to the championship of New Zealand will not be established until I have met and van quished one or two Auckland Scots, who claim to be experts at the national dances. There are, I believe, one •or two gentle men in the Auckland district who have distinguished themselves in dancing, but I am not prepared to admit that they have been recognised as champions of any country. But if they have any ambition to wrest from" me the honours of champion national dancer of New Zealand, I am quite willing to try conclusions with them on any reasonable conditions. -1 am, &c, Robert Mttnro, champion piper and national dancer of New Zealand.

Mr J. A. ConnelFs meeting in the' Choral Hall last evening was a pleasant change from the rowdy ones previously held, a fact which speaks well for the gentler sex, who last night predominated largely. One great cause of the good order was no doubt the fact that, owing to the charge made, those pests of all election meetings—the professional politicians—were conspicuous by their absence. In order to assure good conduct, Sergeant Pratt.and three con stables were present, but their services were not required.

Mr A. G. Daniells proposes now, as the new Seventh Day Adventist Church is almost completed, to commence another series of lectures on the "Prophecies," "The Law and Sabbath," and "The Coming of the Lord." The first of these lectures, we understand, will be a review of the Rev. Mr Sommerville's pamphlet lately issued on "The Sabbath." The Adventists'new Church in Mackelvie-street is pleasantly situated,and will conveniently accommodate from three to four hundred people. Great credit is due to these people for their efforts thus far experted in the direction of raising the building.

The drapers' assistants, having taken up the challenge from the butchers to play a football match, the following will play at Potter's paddock to-morrow (Wednesday): Moore, Brown (2), Howe (2), Kay, Morgan, Taylor, Linabury, Regan, Leech, Farquhar, Bellofc, Down, Grubb. A brake will leave the Newton firebell at 2.15 p.m. •Captain Press, the purchaser of the Re venue schooner Hawk, proposes leaving this port during the present week. He has had the vessel renovated and provisioned ready for the voyage to Melbourne. Last night the gallant captain invited a number of lady and gentleman friends to spend a social evening on board the schooner. The party arrived about 7 o'clock, and were re galed in first-class style by their host, the evening being most enjoyably spent with music and games.

A youth named Fowler who was sen tenced at the Mercer Court to a month's imprisonment for having "no visible means of support" says the offence with which he was charged was misprinted larceny. He states that his case was one of pure misfortune. He was returning to Auckland and sprained his ankle on the road, and gave himself up so as to get to town. s,

The usual meeting, held by the Auckland Total Abstinence Society on Saturday even ing, was fairly attended, and Avas presided over by Mr Theo. Cooper, who briefly en forced the advantages of total abstinence.1 The programme was mainly contributed by members of the Tabernacle Band of Hope, and included music by string band ; duet on piano, Misses Stevens and Main ; duefc, piano and violin, Misses A. and M. Hogg; piano solo, Miss Ellingham ; vocal quar tette, Miss Kilpatrick, Miss Blakey, Messrs Kilpatrick and Petty; duet, the little Misses Smith ; songs by Misses M. Camp bell and Blakey ; recitations by Mr Baker, Mr Groyer, Miss Goodwin, and Miss Smith ; and a dialogue by Misses Ellingham, Hogg, and Brown. A hearty vote oi! thanks was accorded to all the friends who had con tributed to the pleasure of the audience.

Mr Knight informed the audience that another lady member had promised a lecture, of which due notice would be given.
