The Evening Star: WITH WHICH ARE INCORPORATED The Evening News, Morning News, and Echo.

SATURDAY, JULY 16, 1887.

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

The " perfect roar " throughout the colony in favour of retrenchment has moved not only the Premier, but the leader of the Opposition, to renew his vows. In his address at Hawera last night, Major Atkinson analysed the pretended reductions of the Govern ment, and showed that the public expenditure in 1886-7 was greater than in 1883-i, when the Government took office, irrespective of the Sinking Fund, which the Govern ment no longer provide for out of the Consolidated Revenue. Excluding the service departments in which there was natural increase, the expenditure was greater. This conflict in statements of fact is one of the peculiarities of New Zealand politics. It ought to be perfectly clear to any competent accountant whether a par ticular department is costing more or less than it was before, yet here we have the Premier and Colonial Trea surer asserting in the most positive way that certain savings, amounting to many thousands of pounds, have been made, and the late Colonial Treasurer declaring with equal positive ness that they have not. Which are we to believe 1 A reference to the hard logic of the Government proposal for an additional of ad ditional taxation furnishes, we think, the answer.

A very animated controversy upon this subject of reduction has been going on in Otago between the Premier and the Otago "Daily Times." The latter journal has handled the public accounts with considerable skill, and it arrives at this conclusion, which to our mind it has succeeded in fully establishing :—" Making every deduction which Sir Robert -Stout demands and can. substantiate, the ex penditure during his term of office has very heavily increased. When we add amounts of defence expenditure improperly thrown upon loan, and cost of charitable aid upon local bodies, the total increase up to Marc h 31 lastJ largely exceeds These figures appear to tally pretty well with those given by Major Atkinson. •

It is, of course, the business of the Opposition to assume a virtuous tone, and Major Atkinson is entitled to make the most of every point against his opponents; but the country does not forget that years ago the Hall-Atkinson Ministry ob tained office by raising this very cry of public extravagance and retrench ment. They spread the report from end to end of the laud that the country was on the verge of bankruptcy, they made a tem porary 10 per cent, reduction on the salaries of civil servants, discharged a few employees and put on the Property Tax. But what was the end of it all ? Once firmly seated in office, the old game went on merrily.

Perhaps it may be pleaded that the country was not then really in earnest; that members came to Wellington pledged to obtain certain works, and that the Ministry did no more than carry out the wishes of their masters. But that plea serves the present Government better than it serves their predecessors, because Sir Julius Vogel never pretended to be an apostle of retrenchment. He came not as " John the Baptist," a voice calling upon the people to mortity the flesh; but he posed as the saviour who was to bring peace and plenty, and prosperity "by leaps and bounds." The reduction of the Go vernor's salary, the contraction of bor rowing and radical retrenchment and reform, were just as much needed when the Hall-Atkinson Ministry took office as they are now, and _if they had been grappled with then the work would have been easier.

We recognise, however,, that not Ministries, but the people themselves, are to blame for extravagance of Go vernment. If they sent the right men to Parliament, pledged to right measures, there would be no fear of the ' result. Political leaders are apparently now convinced that the country is in earnest in this matter, and we hope that they will be still more assured of the fact before the elections are over.

THE BOARDING-OUT SYSTEM.

From Sydney there comes valuable corroborative testimony to the excel lence of the boarding-out system, which has been adopted there in the treat ment of orphan and deserted children. Without in any way depreciating the manner in which these unfortunate 53 are fed, clothed, and educated in the different orphanages and kindred in stitutions of New Zealand, it cannot be denied that our Government are act ing wisely and humanely in ex tending the system of boarding out, in preference to what may be called the " boarding in " of children within walls and grounds and shutting off from them the cheerful comforts and en nobling influences of home life and training. In New South Wales there are about 2,000 children belonging to the class named, and the State has undertaken not to stand in loco pareniis to them, which no Governmet can do, but to find people willing to accept the responsibility of training the youthful waifs and fitting them to be useful members of society. These children, whose condition is vastly an improvement on anything of the kind yet reached with respect to them, are individually looked after by inspectors, and a greater supervision has been secured than could have been thought possible. In a financial sense the result is remarkable. These 2,000 children, as now spread through the country in the midst of natural home life, cost the State only £1 5 per head per year, while the cost of those remaining in the asylums ranges between and The saving thus effected to the State is be tween and 8,000 annually. We have no data showing the financial results of the experiment in New Zea land, so far as it has gone; but the ex perience of New South Wales should form a useful guide to this colony. The financial is the very lowest ground,how ever, upon which the boarding-out sys tem can be defended, and independently of that aspect of the direct profit there must be a tremendous indirect gain to the State through the children being freed from pauperising conditions, and taught to be moral, self-reliant, and wealth-producing members of the com munity.

BISHOP MONRAD.

The death of Bishop Monrad in the earlier part of the present year, was for the most part unnoted by New Zea land journals, most of which would doubtless have forgotten the fact that the celebrated prelate was for six years a resident in this colony. But in fact the late Bishop Monrad was such a prominent politi cal and religious figure in Denmark (as may be learned from a notice of him which we publish in the Stak Supplement to-day) that his death ought to have received some notice. During Bishop Monrad's stay in New Zealand (1563-69) he several times visited Sir George Grey at the Kawau —making special journeys' for that purpose from the Manawatu district, where he resided. The Bishop's two sons took up land as settlers in that district, but when their illustrious father returned to Denmark both left the colony—one of them going home, and the other to the United States. After his return to his native laud Bishop Monrad, who had previously taken a leading part in politics, devoted himself to religious and literary work, but he never forgot his old friendship for Sir George Grey. Some years ago Sir George received from him copies of several publications which have a unique value. Among them are trans lations by Bishop Monrad of the Psalms of David and the book of Isaiah into Danish verse, in exact imitation of the ancient Hebrew metre. These works with others will be found in the Grey collection at the Free Public Library.

A patient at the Lunatic Asylum named William Johnson died to-day.

Among the names recently added to the Commission of the Peace appears that of Dr W. R. Erson, of Onehunga.

The £2 invitation has been extended to tk Radical Reform League and will no doubt be acceded to, and as tlia opinions of the ,three associations are nearly identical there can be little doubti but that an understanding will be arrived at as to the action to be taken at the comin? elections. -~»% •A most inviting programme has been pay pared for patrons at the skating rink this' evening, in conjunction with the skatam Ihe management beg to state that, for the convenience of the public, the pit will be thrown open as well as the circle, both at a moderate charge. Last night a very en joyable evening was experienced, the occa sion being the second social of the season.

Messrs Vaile and Douglas sold by auction yesterday afternoon, at their mart Shortland - street, Lot 20, containing 29 perches more or less, with new villa erected thereon, Parish of Waitemala, County of Eden. Apparently few buyers were present, for the price realised was only LSO. That was the first and only bid made for the property. Auother lotwaa submitted, but failed to elicit a bid.

A capital programme has been arranged for the concert to-morrow afternoon at the City Hall. Sir George Grey, in writing to Mr Pooley, says he "wishes you every suc cess in your Sunday afternoon concert, which may be made a means of much good," It is expected that Sir George will be pr* sent at the concert to-morrow afternoon,, and places will be reserved for his .party. A social event of great interest in musical circle? transpired at All Saints' Church on Thursday afternoon, in the marriage of Mr Archdale Tayler to Miss Culpan, eldest daughter of Mr J. G. Culpan. Both lady and gentleman enjoy a deservedly high repute as musical amateurs, and as a coa sequence the church w.is crowded with friends and acquaintances. The marriage ceremony was associated with a full choral service. The Bey. W. Calder was the of ficiating clergyman, the bridesmaids ware Misses Main, Branston, Cossar and Matel Culpan, and the best man was Mr F. Earl After the ceremony the wedding party. and upwards of a hundred invited guests, betook themselves to the schoolroom, when, a capital wedding breakfast had been laid out.

About; a quarter past 10 o'clock lasteven^ ing a group of well-dressed hoodlums Were, creating a great disturbance in Victoria-' street West. They bad just been turned' but of one of the hotels adjacent, and werh', evidently under the influence of liquor,! They hooted, yelled, sang and swore with: great fervour. Window .' shutters and doors were kicked, andstepdancesexecrated in the doorways as they passed1 alone. Another lad, who was coming towards them. was. knocked down for some jeering remark passed by Mm, and a wordy war ensued, in which most disgusting language was used. l That these were not what are usually-■con sidered, "roughs" may be gathered from the fact that one of their number ,yw vapouring loudly of the work he was ?omg to do for one of the big football clubs in to day's matches. No matter what position these hoodlums occupy, such proceedings as those of last night should be stopped. The following resolutions have been come to by the' School Committee of Onehunga, relative to certain complaints made against the head master, Mr Stewart :—ife caning a £'irl 15 years of age, "That *he .charge was not substantiated." It was also agreea "That the Committee are of opinion -tnao no male teacher should indict punishment on females." Be other "P. charges of punishing children, WfW ing resolution was passed:-' That t» Committee are of opinion that w^. c rf^l evidence of the punishment inflicted*" 1 some of the cases produced being wv*t still there has been no evidence of ram severity; further, they won Id recomm nd that in future teachers should exercise w greatest discretion in all administrationi o corporal punishment."
