«, For the csuae that la„s assistance, For the wrong that nee_3 resistance, For the future in the distance, And the good that -we can do.

We ought to be well satisfied with the results of the elections for Auckland city and suburbs yesterday. In alj the electorates, except Newton, the whole of the candidates named by. the Stab as the best men were re turned at the head of the poll, and Mr Tole's defeat, a? we predicted, was brought about through the split among the Protectionists^ which drew away sufficient votes to de ieat Mr £$ew*%s makieg ey^

a presentable appearance for Mr Garratt. A return of 171 votes, whil the winning number was 704 and his other opponent polled.6l2,cannot afford any particular solace to Mr Gar ratt or those who supported hira for. the rupture whioh his persis tence in going to the poll when everyone saw he had not a ghost of a chance of election caused. However, " there is no use crying over ' spilt milk." We have never doubted that, except with respect to this one question upon which we dis sent from Mr Withy's views, he will make a very creditable and able representative from Auckland, and we sincerely trust that the revelation which the election must have made to his mind of the prevailing feeling among his constituents in favour of making large sacrifices to aid our local industries, will have full weight in shaping his course in Parliament. On general political questions Mr Withy's views appear to be thoroughly Liberal, and although we have con tributed nothing towards his election, none of his supporters will watch his political career with a more sincere desire that he may become a power for good in the politics of New Zealand, and that his abilities may be of service to Auckland, where he has made his home.

Of the changes in the new House, however, next to the rejection of Sir Robert Stout, none will cause more genuine regret than the retirement of Mr Tole from public life. Mr Tole has been a faithful member for Auckland for twelve years, unswerv ing in his Liberalism, and active to promote Auckland's interests. In the biographies of Otago members, which wo give to-day, and which were written by a prominent New Zealaud jour nalist, special mention is made inci dentally of the work done by Mr Tole in simplifying the Patent Laws, one of the most valuable practical re forms that has emanated from the New Zealand Parliament. However, it is the fortune of war, and there is no use grumbling. Mr Tole's political career has been conspicuous for some remarkable successes, and a re verse such as he sustained yesterday is without dishonour. There are five other changes in the Auckland repre sentatives : Mr Dargaville gives place to Mr Thompson; Mr Lake (retired) is superseded by Major Jackson ; Mr Buckland by Mr F. Lawry; Mr Kelly succeeds Mr Grace, and Mr Graham takes the place of Mr Locke. Mr Goldie is also a new man, making seven representatives from Auckland who were not in the last Parliament.

The defeat of Sir Robert Stout will, we believe, produce a feeling of almost universal regret throughout the colony, and his rejection for one Dunedin seat, while Mr Fish was returned for another, has been sufficient to decide us in favour of an amalga mation of city constituencies. Such an occurrence would have been impos sible if the verdict had been inthehands of the entire city. His opponent, as will be seen by the biographical sketch pub lished elsewhere, seems to be a man of good ability. The constitutional effect of the Premier's defeat is, of. course, the destruction of his Ministry. It will be the duty of His Excellency the Governor the moment the results of the elections are finally known, to summon someone to form a new Cabi net. In making his decision, His Ex cellency will be bound to consider whether the elections have been, on the whole, for or against the Govern ment. With two Ministers rejected, it might appear that His Excellency's task was by no means a difficult one. but a closer examination of the results shows the fact to be otherwise. Although the elections have gone so disastrously against the Government in Auckland, the block vote of this Provincial District is counterpoised by an all but block vota in favour of Ministers in Canterbury, Nelson, and Westland. These districts have not been ungrateful to Sir Julius Vogel for the East and West Coast railway. The votes of Sir John Hall and Mr Pearson are the only ones in Canterbury which can be unreservedly set down for the Opposition. Otago is pretty equally divided between Ministerialists and Opposition. In the return, published elsewhere, we have endeavoured, from a careful compari son of the returns published by the local papers, to show without partiality the.exact position of parties after the elections. Of course, readers will understand, however, what a complete revolution must result from the defeat of the Radical element in the Ministry, and the triumph all along the line of its Conservative members. It is almost impossible to classify members even approximately under such conditions. The classification we have made, how-, ever, shows that the Ministry which appealed to the country have been de cisively beaten, although-the members who would vote against them if in office when Parliament meets will not work together very harmoniously in new harness. The Opposition have also sustained great losses—the defeats of Messrs Bryce and Garrick are specially notable. The Premier is already ofl'ered a seat, Mr Keri', of Motueka, having expressed his willingness to resign in his favour. If Sir Robert Stout, however, should recall his threat to retire into private life if defeated, he would still have no chance of re-election until after parliament has met and Mr Kerr's election and resignation can pass through the usual forms. If His Excellency, on consideration, should decide that the Voice of the country, on the appeal, is favourable to the Cabinet—wfiich is most improb able—he will be constitutionally com pelled to summon Sir Julius Vogel to re-form it. If, on the other hand, he considers that the Ministers Inave been beaten, he is bound to send for Major AtfriMpii ujjon tttop motion tijg

Cabinets was defeated kit ses sion, Hia Excellency- decision will hardly be known before the eleojked Ministers, have officially informed him of the result of the elections, and Sir Robert Stout has already started for Wellington to confer with hia ex-col leagues on this matter.

THE IRISH REVOLT.

Resistance to authority is only justi fied when "the powers that be are guilty of oppression and wrong, or when the mandates of the law are strained to accomplish the suppression of constitutional liberties. In Ireland, at the present moment, the revolt against the operation of the Coercion Act is, so far as we are able to judge, not only justifiable, but obligatory upon a people worthy of free institutions; and Irishmen would show themselves quite unfitted for self-government if they tamely submitted to despotic and inquisitorial laws, which are only employed now adays towards people in a state of semi-barbarism. The right of public meeting is one that is rightly regarded as one of the most precious enjoyed under the British constitution, and when a gang of policemen are sent to disperse orderly assemblages of Irish men convened for the purpose of political discussion, it is not surprising to find that their baton attack is responded to with volleys of stones and other missiles. Colonists who enjoy un limited freedom of expression with re gard to the British Crown know how they would feel if political meetings here were " proclaimed " illegal by the Governor, and a force of Imperial troops sent to disperse such gather ings. The rioting reported from Fermoy is, of course, deplorable, but the sole responsibility of it must rest with the Government, . who foolishly imagine that Ireland is to be ruled on the model of holy Russia. It is pleasing to find that the priests on this occasion exerted their influence in preventing serious bloodshed; in this they acted consistently, for however strongly they may denounce injustice, their ethics do not admit of securing a righteous end by violent means. Some will be ready to assert that the recent mission of Mcnsignor Persico to Ireland and the reported antagonism of the Vatican to the Nationalist cause have some thing to do with the attitude of. the priesthood in supporting the police; but it is unlikely that they acted from any other motive than that supplied by humanity and religion. The Tory Government are rushing to their downfall by persisting in their policy of coercion, and while all violence is to be deprecated, the Irish people may be depended upon to follow the advice of their leaders; and resist unlawful force with equal force until their rights as freemen are recog nised. ,

The polling on the question of a special district water supply lor Mount Eden took place yesterday,. and resulted in favour of the introduction of water.. There was .a total of 424 ratepayers on the roll, repre senting 607 votes. The poll resulted : 424 votes in favour of water supply; 12 against; informal votes 2, thus showing a large majority in favour of the water supply. Mr J. Stickley acted as Returning Officer, and the proceedings were watched by Messrs R. Udy (Chairman of the District Board) and Bridgman (a member of it).

By the omission of parentheses in our report of the polling at Npwton yesterday, it was made to appear that the temperance party were giving a block Vote for Mr Tole, whereas the meaning intended to be con veyed was that the teetotal vote was being given to Mr Withy. In point of fact, the temperance vote was never more unanimous and full on behalf of any candidate than it was for Mr Withy on this occasion.

To the Editor: Sir,—A letter appeared in your paper last night signed " Cyclist," asking that the Waitemata B.C. make the run next Saturday an open one, so that outsiders may join. I may state that the first run of the season has always been an open one, and I believe always will be. All cyclists are cordially invited to the run next Saturday, Which will start from the Grey-street fire-bell at half-past two.- L- I am, etc., S. Hunter, Capt. W.B.C. Yesterday evening an entertainment was given in the Newmarket Hall in aid of the "'Boys' Rest," but owing to the election and wet weather only a fair number of people were present. The proceedings passed off satisfactorily, the limelight views by Mr Hesketh being especially in teresting to the juvenile portion of the audi ence. Some good spngs were also well

rendered,
