THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1887.

For the cause that lacks assistance, For the wrong that nee_3 resistance, For the future in the distance, And the good that we can do.

I The disagreement which occurred in the Industrial Association over the en_ dorsement of candidates for the sup port of the Association is what might have been expected from any attempt to make the vote of one society, having distinct objects, subject to the vote o* another organisation which, although analogous in interests in many respects, has totally different functions and aims. The voting last night on the several candidates showed how far the committee had been astray in interpret ing the feelings of the great bulk of the members of the Association —the candi date they had chosen for Auckland West, Mr Shera, getting only one vote, while an all but unanimous vote of 64 was recorded for his opponent, Mr Goldie; two other of the committee's selections were also reversed. It may be doubted whether the Associa tion would not have acted more wisely if it had obtained the views of the candidates on Protection and published them as a guide to the electors, leaving every voter to exer-

Cisc sonic freedom of judgment in individual selections. But last night S proceedings practically amount to the same thing, and can certainly do no harm, while they show that the Associa tion is taking a healthy interest in the electoral contests. Tho Presideutopenly stated his determination not to be bound in his own vote by the resolu tion carried, and.no doubt other mem bers of the Association will also exercise independence of judgment—and the}' are quite light in doing so. _ At the same time, if tlie Association is to do any good politically its mem bers must keep clearly in view, Avhen recording their votes, the views of the candidates on the great industrial ques tion. Protection to local industry, however, is not everything. A man must in other respects be thoroughly Avell qualified to take a good stand in the House on all public ques tions, with the intellectual power to ■ grasp the affairs of the colony gene rally, and do justice to a great city like Auckland. Otherwise, it would be better to disfranchise us. An incapable representative does Auck land serious harm by lowering it in the estimation of the rest of the colony. The electors, therefore, whether members of the Industrial or any other Association, would be stultifying themselves and putting themselves in a very false position if they did not reserve perfect liberty of judgment. The franchise is a personal trust, and no Association can be the keeper of a man's conscience with regard to its exercise. The action of the Trades and Labour Council in nominating candidates in dicates a tendency on the part of that body to depart from its purely Trades Union functions, and assume more the character of the American Order of the Knights of Labour. In England trades unions eschew politics except so far as they actually affect trade concerns, and there isdoubtlesssomedanger of rupture in bringing a disturbing element like political opinions to play in matters of trade concern. Trade societies are very sensitive to outside dictation, as even the Knights of Labourhave found, their numbers decreasing by 400,000 in a few months owing to the dissatisfaction of several powerful Trades Unions. The Auck land Trades and Labour Council has had similar experience, and it is only very partially representative of the trade societies of Auckland. However, these are not arguments against taking steps to bring the influence of the industrial classes to bear upon the House of Representatives; they merely show how important it is to proceed with wisdom and caution. The lesson of the recent negotiations for agree ment between the Trades and Labour Council and the Radical Reform League, and then between the Council and the Industrial Association, is also easy to read. Every organisation must act for itself. Among the many magic rods thrown down to determino the supre macy there is not yet a rod of Moses able to gobble up all the other rod. The creation of an order analogous to the Knights of Labour may yet bring about that consummation; but even the experience of that order shows how hard it is for txny one man or number of men to control the action of many thousands of their fellow-men, each with his own mental peculiarities, religious beliefs, and personal pre judices and interests.

DWELLINGS FOR THE WORKING CLASSES.

While the Sanitary Inspector is on his rounds getting the names of those 2,000 city householders who are al leged to be systematic offenders against the regulations prescribed for the preservation of the public health, he would render good service by compiling a list of the " shanties" which con stitute our " slums," which are, in his opinion, unfit for human habitation. It is impossible for people to be cleanly and healthy either physically or morally when their surroundings have all a strong and direct tendency in the opposite direction; and in the in terests of public health and decency, as well as of the inmates of these wretched dens, it is desirable that strict oversight should be kept, and houses that fall short of modern re quirements, in the matter of internal cubic space or yard accommodation, should be promptly condemned. Society at large is recognising that it cannot afford to be indifferent to the welfare of its meanest constituents. Our cable despatches have recently contained reference to the move ment on foot in England lor obtaining allotments of land for artisans, and already there are several enactments on the English Statute Book having reference to the important sub ject of housing the poorer classes in the community. A typical law is the Artisans Dwellings Act, Scotland, 1875, which provides power for a local trust to compulsorily purchase houses which " by reason of the want of light, air, ventilation, or of proper conveni ences, or from other causes, are unfit for human habitation, and fevers and diseases are constantly generated there, causing death and loss of health, not only in the courts and alleys, but also in other parts." Such Improvement Trust is further empowered to erect suitable houses for the tenants who may have been displaced by their opera tions.

Colonial legislation appears to stop short of the latter provision, for though there is power to "con demn " unsuitable dwellings, the State has made no effort to provide an improved class of house for the tenants deprived of their dwelling place. It would even seem that the "condemning" of a house does not necessarily include the pulling down of the structure. The Sydney " Morning

Herald " published the other day a j long list of houses with the names of the owners and the number of occu pants in each, and stated that these houses had been condemued by the City Building Surveyor at different times from 1882 to ISB6, and that none of them had yet been removed. Though the Colonial Legislatures may not see any necessity for interfering with the building and owning of house property, they should at least give the local authorities full power to demolish all dens where disease and immorality are bred, leaving the rest to the opera tion of natural and economic laws.

" Pull down the rookeries and the birds will fly away." This cry of John Knox, it may be argued, only holds partially true in the case of degraded human beings and their habitations. To some extent it is the case that the "slums'' are the effect and not the cause of degradation, and to remove unsuitable houses from one place only means that similar dens will spring into existence somewhere else. Even the Scottish Artisans' Dwellings Act, which has been quoted as worthy of adoption in Sydney, has not pro duced uniformly good results. In Glasgow, for example, whole streets of dirty two-story tenements were pulled down in the Bridgeton and Gorbals divisions of the city, but beyond the widening of the streets no sensible im provement followed. The Improve ment Trust erected palatial blocks of three and four stories high, the ground floor being devoted to shops, and the upper floors to dwellings ; but the displaced people simply found other " rookeries," and the new houses were taken up by an improved class of tenants. It was further found that the " improved " houses had actually less air space per occupant than those which had been condemned — the houses being piled so high and packed so closely that the courtyard accommo dation was almost nil.

Experience goes to show that if the poorer working classes are to live in cities there must be "slums," unless the State steps in and by direct action secures an improved class of dwelling for them. In Auckland we see the result of leaving the matter to the hard arbitrament of natural law, aggravated by human sel fishness, in the growing number of small houses forced into back lanes, and undraincd and noisome gullies. It is not right to drive working men to unhealthy ..places on the outskirts of the city, and compel them to walk long distances to their work. The wiser plan (surely is, by proper supervision and otherwise to secure them wholesome homes in the city at moderate rents.

In the section of the story "Mystery of Haddon's Ferry," published last night, a curious blunder occurred. Something like twenty chapters were omitted through the wrong "copy " being given out. To com. pensate our readers for the mistake, we shall publish the chapters which ought to have appeared last night on Satur" day next, in our Supplement. In to - night's issue " Marion's Uncle '! is brought to a close. As the new story " Kildee, or the Sphinx of the Red House," is intended to be the daily story to succeed "Marion's Uncle," those who did not read the first part last night should not fail to do so now. It is one of the best written novels that have been published in recent years. The characters are strongly drawn and the plot very cleverly worked out.

Newton East School was the scene of a very pleasant little ceremony yesterday afternoon in anticipation of the approach ing departure of Miss Wallis, one of the lady teachers, for her new sphere of duty at Suva, Fiji. The popularity of the young lady in question was shown by the fact that she was presented with a beautiful workbox by the boys of her class,and with a charming gold bracelet, studded with pearls in chaste and elegant design, by her fellow teachers. The latter presentation was made by the Rev. R. Coates, Head-master of the school. In doing so, he referred in touching terms to the retirement of Miss Wallis, who had been an efficient and valued member of the teaching staff, and expressed his confidence that she would give the fullest satisfaction as mistress of the Suva school. An enjoyable and fare well reunion was given to Miss Wallis in the schoolroom last evening by the teachers. The room was prettily festooned with flowers and ferns for the occasion, and converted by artistic workers into a veritable sylvan bower. Dancing and music were comprised in the evening's amusement, and the visitors passed a most enjoyable evening. Mr Warren, one of the gentlemen teachers, was Master of Ceremonies, and the lady hostesses left no stono unturned to minister to the pleasure of their guests. Miss Wallis leaves for Suva on Monday next.

The Auckland United Cricket Club held its twenty-fifth annual meeting at the Al bert Hotel last evening. Mr J. Mumford occupied the chair. The report and balance-sheet showed the Club to be in a satisfactory condition, with a ereditbalance. The officers of last season were re-elected, with tlie exception that Mr Harvie was elected a committee man in place of Mr McPherson. The trophies presented by Mr A. E. Whitaker and Mr J. Mumford for the best batting and bowling performances were won by Messrs J. Testro anp W. Stevenson. The club had been represented in the Inter colonial match by Mr D. Lynch, who contributed the total of 46, and in the interprovincial match Messrs Lynch (81) and Yates, both United Club members, were the highest scorers. Several new members were elected, and the meeting terminated with a vote of thanks to the officers and Chairman.

A deputation from the Trades and Labour Council waited on the Operative Boot makers' Union on Monday night, endeavour ing to induce them to rejoin the Council. It appears there has been some misunder standing on the part of the Union as to the advantages derived from the Council, but the deputation soon pointed out that the Union had derived great advantages. It was also urged that if it was good for one trade to form a union, it must be beneficial for all trades to be banded together in the shape of a Trades and Labour Council. After the deputation had withdrawn it was unanimously resolved to rejoin the Council, and two delegates were accordingly ap pointed.

The gymnastic contests at Professor Carrollo's gymnasium were decided last night, and resulted in favour of YV. Parker with 54£ points; A. Mackey, 42; D. Gough, 41^. The remainder of the com petitions will be concluded next Tuesday, being light weight boxing, feather-weight and defensive proficiency.

The South British Insurance Company iind that their total loss by the Feilding fire yesterday only amounts to i' 425. They had no risk on the Empire Hotel.

The election held yesterday in Parnell to fill tho extraordinary vacancy in the Borough Council, caused by the resignation of Mr Geldart, resulted in the return of Mr John Mitchell McLachlan by a very substantial majority. The figures were : J. M. McLachlan, 291; George Cozens, 90 ; majority for Mr McLachlan, 201. The an nouncement of this result byMrM.Rawlings (Returning Officer) was received with cheers. Mr McLachlan, who was present, thanked the burgesses for the honour they had done him, and said it was to him a proud moment, this being the first time he had been elected to any public position. He might almost say he was born in Parnell, for he resided there more than 40 years ago, and he possessed no other property than that which he owned in Parnell, so that it would be to his interest 1 to work for their interests. Many of them no doubt did not know him, but before his term of office ex pired they would know him better. He was proud of the large majority by which they had returned him, and could not say too much for the way in which those who had worked with him had exerted them selves on his behalf. He hoped to merit their confidence, and that on some future occasion when he might ask them to elect him to a still more important seat, they would show the same confidence in him. (Cheers.)

Another relic of the ill-fated ketch Recamia was picked up at Kaipara Heads on Sunday last. It is a rough piece of board, about 9 inches in length, containing the following words in pencil: " Off Heads. On our beam ends,—H. Holst, Recamia." The writing exhibits signs of haste, and had evidently been done under great difficulty. Near the place where this board was found was a lifebuoy belonging to the Recamia, and also an ash oar.

Last night the final deposits in the boxing content, Donovan v. Martin, were lodged at Harrison's Anchor Hotel, and the arrange ments for the right are now complete. Donovan is the " favourite " in the betting on the event, which comes off to-morrow (Friday) evening at the Agricultural Hall.

Herr L. Tutschka will treat his listeners to-night to a programme of rare excellence, on the occasion of his last Chamber concert at the Choral Hall. Those who have not been at the previous concerts should avail themselves of this opportunity ; those who have been before require no advice.

The annual meeting of the City Rowing Club was held last evening in the V.M.C.A. Rooms. A satisfactory report and balance sheet was submitted, but owing to a quorum not being present, it was decided to adjourn the meeting till next Wednesday evening, in the same place.

FANCY DRESS BALL AT THE CITY HALL.

Flags of all nations were gaily festooned round the walls, while on the stage were a number of finepot plants. The dresses of the merrymakers were all tasteful and beautiful, and some of the ladies wore very elaborate toilets. The ball opened at 8.30 with a grand processional march, under the direction of Dr. Walker, the effect being heightened by the use of the limelight. The music was sup plied by Messrs Davis's string band, and the catering was in the hands of Mr G. Rob son of Robson's Rooms. A feature of the evening's proceedings was some Highland dancing by Messrs Munro and Harper — both gentlemen being attired in "the garb of old Gauk" The pro gramme of the ball was as follows:— Processional March and Quadrille, " Ker sengen March," Royal Invitation; Waltz, "Lottie"; Schottische, "Perl Fine"; Waltz, " Blue Danube " ; Lancers, " French Lancers " ; Waltz, " Emmeline " ; Mazurka, "Queen of the Ball"; Waltz, "Royal Jubilee"; Lancers, "Bonne Bouche"; D' Alberts, "Joys of Life " ; extras ; Lancers, "Sorcerer"; Highland Schottische, "Prince Charlie " ; D'Alberts, " Victorian " ; Waltz, "Esprit de Corps"; Quadrille, "Alpine Flowers " ; Schottische, "Windsor" ; Waltz, " Claire de Lune " ; Mazurka, " Blue Bell"; D'Alberts, "Chants dv Soir " ; Waltz and Galopade, " Tiney," "Rink Galop."
