NOTES AND COMMENTS.

Notwithstanding 'the ' diaappotatii

suit* of tho recent acturial investiga-' tidn as regards the lUmperance eec tion :bf the Government Insurance Aaso ciatiun, tho temperance people are tio'i Discouraged^ and seme of them wish for an extension of tho time during whioKr'they 'may transfer their policies from the General to the Temperance Branch, The Auckland Agents Mr t?peight," himeelf a prominent temperance man, has been, •in com munication with the Colonial Treasurer on the subject, with ittio result that Sir JuHub Vogel has granted an extension of time till the 30ih pf Jane. Ho. sjjggesta at the .samo ',time that "Meanwhile it might be wise of them to postpone, coming in for two or three months, whilst the whole subject of their position ia taken into consideration." With regard to tbe bonus, tho .Treasurer etatoß :— " A provition should ' hare been;, made; when tbe branch was 'started to meet the difficulty which has occurred, and which due^. coneidera tion ehouldfl*,have shown was,.probable. Practically, the branch was so started as to make its memhers participate in a distinct fund, the longest policy in which is only three and a half years did, \, When I wired the Agent-General, I did not know how the case stood, as the nature of the consti tution of the Temperance Branch, which, occurred when I w»a absent, had not come under my notice. I do not see what is to be done now, as to give to the Temperance holders would be to take from the others what they have; earned. I will, however, ' look into ..; the matterthoroughly when I return to Welling ton. The Temperance Branch will probably be much . better off next division ; besides that the benefits will gradually come in of ■ their alleged superior longevity. There has been some grumbling among the policy holders in the Temperance Section, on the ground that under policies of long standing, they were entitled to a bonus earned up to the "time when their policies wore transferred to tho Temporaoce Section. This accrued profit has all gone to fructify the General Section, whild the .'Temperance Section was star!edexactlyasthough.it were a new office beginning business witij a few policies. Profit during the-tiret fp'vf years, under the circuras'aaces, was not^p be ex pected.- : >>•,_

The rigid precautionsl now being taken, in" the adjdceDt col nies to isolate tho small-pox casea v.hich wero introduced on board tho North German Lloyd's steamer Preussen are 'o be com me6ded,,and jl we hope our own health Bathoritioa will display equal vigilance. The Government have been in communica tion Kith tho Governments of the;adjacent colonies, and have received the following re plies, which show the position of uffairs, The Premier of South Australia wires :-^" AH passengais per Pieussen quarantined Tor rens Islatid ; f;ur cases developed. Strictly isolated So far, progressing favourably." The Premier of Victoiia Bays: "Every precautijn taken. All mails thoroughly dif-infected before discharge She went in quarantine, aud is stilt quarantined inSyd ney. About 260 in quurantino here; 24 are ill, but only three serious cases" The eteamer brought 500 passengers; and the disease first manifested itself amongst tbe crew phortly after tho vessel left Port ! Said. . . ■. ~ ." , . , ; . ~.-

The success of these colonies in absolutely ehutting out email pox, one of tie'most loathsome and destructive- maladies to which human beings are liable, is a good reason for applying the princip'o oE quaiantuje and Ssjiation to olber infectious dissaaee.; 'With proper pixcaKtionß s >'»j»i --tary ''snd otherwise; sach. dlse*™'< "Sk pcsrlalina, typhoW, measles, &e.J 1 |be abeioluteljtiiiLn&wa.
