PEICE—ONE PENNY.

TABLE TALK.

The Premier's political address to-night. Why should he go to the V.M C.A, Hall?; On that point I'm an Agnostic ; but i why shouldn't he go there ? Well, you see, he isn't exactly a C.V.M., though he is a K.C.M.G. Ob, bother ! The hall is a public one, and the address will not touch on religion, , Peaceful signs in Europe. Do you call that a peaceful eign—some modern Guy Fawkes trying to blow up the Spanish Done in Parliament assembled? '~- Dbn't know about that ; I meant the rieeH in Euglii-h Consols to 102.1. They haven't been bo high for a long time. I'm only eorry I haven't a big parcel of them to sell. ■ ■ ■•■• ,|S Imperial Conference opened on Monday. 3plendid speech by Lord Salisbury. ' ~" .1 By-the bye, I don't see Sir VV"m. Fitz-" herbercs name; among the colonial orators on the occasion. Good job too, but I believe he hae not y arrived in London yet. Auckland moving in the Jubilee. Yee; and making a very good show o£\ hearty loyalty and unanimity, too. .}:,'.. % What do you; think of: the idea of a Jubilee Eicture Gallery ? I', A : very )?ood idea : a.thing of beauty, joy for'evOT, you know"; but we are to have a public gathering or demonstration beside* on the 21st of June. What is the meaning of the " Herald " : saying there is come doubt as to whether ■ the date fixed by the Queen for the Jubilee celebration is the 20th or 21st ? It simply means that somebody is stupid. A cable message last month stated that the 21sii had been fixed by Her. Majesty to be proclaimed a public holiday. What's that man o' war in ? Oh, it's the Duquosne back again. Admiral forgot to say good-bye to Cruick- . shank, perhaps. Dreadfully polite thera Krehch, dontcherknow.l Well, it was so cold this morning that I thought it wf.s the long expected Chilian!..:■ -' It was cold ; I thought that the Freezing Cotopany in * their delight at settling that matter with the Harbour Board had forgot to put the plug in last night. ■ -■ A has tho Chinese ! , . r ; > ■ , ■ W'n 1 aue you at poor Ah Bah and the Ui. ■ Uiinese.?,,: i' ..• . - Oh, those yellow ekinned-fellows who ar rived yesterday are-going to West Coast to take the place of good English miners, -who are on etrike. -■ You don't say so ! why don't they stick to their cabbage and cauliflower? Why, they'll stick at nothing, those fel lows ; and; if we don't take care they will . soon overrun the colony and make,it.unfit for a white'man to live in. x\'i .That's seripußj I hope somebody will put a question to the Premier tonight about those -infernal Celestials ! But how are we to keep them out —by a heavier poll tax on coming to the country? No ; bub by a tax of about £1 a week per head as long p,3 they stay in it 1 ; Great political activily in the country, .- Ballance,' Ormond, and others giving adV drespes. i-■'■' ■• '. Who are' the " others " ? • • "' Why, Connolly spoke at Picto'n on Monday vwght, Colonel Trimble at New Plymouth, ! and Mr Lance at Amberley the same evening, r They uttered the usual " airy nothings " ; and got y|)tee of thanks end confidence, I suppose? ; ■/..; ~,. . - You're right about their .utterances • bnt Lance g'oti.a vote of confidence ; the' bthers got thanks only. Ah I Trimble"'did not satisfy the Tare nakians about hie breakwater loan vote, and ■ Connolly never was very popular.
