The census of Germany for the year 1885 shows an increase to the populatioQ of 411,125. A movement ia on foot for getting the school children throughout Otago District to raise penny subscriptions to supplement the Scholarship Fund. The Spanish Government is taking steps for the purpose of strengthening and in creasing the defence of that country. Some carrier pigeons were recently liber ated in Maeterton, and reached Wellington, 69 miles distant, in 1 hour 16 minutes. Major Jackson Bays that he will contest Waipa seat ngainst all comers. A New York professor of fencing has 40 women pupils, and says that they do well at it. The VVaikato Maoris foretell a great flood, Thoy have been watching the rats lately and are taking precautions in conse quence of the signs. A public meeting is to be held at Port Chalmers to choose a candidate for the scab in Parliament. The English manufacturers are angry at New South Wales inviting tenders for engines abroad.

The passage of the Suez canal is ordin arily made in 36 to 40 hoars, bat vessels fitted with the electric light apparatus can go through in 16 hours. The Mayor of Dunedin has received a reply from the Minister of Public Works, re the unemployed, declining to start public works, and pointing out that come are already in progress. It is understood that the Victorian and South Australia Governments are disinclined to accept the latest tenders of the Orient and Peninsular and Oriental Companies for the carriage of Australian mails. The Otago "Daily Times" enthusiasti cally takes up Mr Mills's candidature for Port Chalmers, and says he is the only man fitted to succeed Mr Macandrew. It has been calculated that the losees by fire in New Zealand since June last will swallow up 10 years' premiums. Last night the resolution to wind up Te Aro Opera House Company, at Wellington, was confirmed. The charge of indecent assault on a Maori girl, against Tyrer, the. schoolmaster at Hawera, broke down, the time being so ac counted for as to show that the statements of the prosecution were without foundation. During the clearance of Messrs Wilson and Richardson's promises at the recent big fire in someone rifled the till of its contents, £8 odd. The matter has been placed in the bands of the police.

They oppose long renewal* of mail con tracts, and advocate poundage payments. Ministers have held several long Cabinet meetings at Wellington this week, mostly for the consideration of the Estimates. On Monday another meeting, will be held, when the date of the assembling of Parliament will probably be fixed. " '

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The Southern ' press generally criticise adversely Sir Julius Vogel's Protective pro posals. The Otago "Daily Timra" has warmly attacked them, and the Wellington " PoBt" (usually a strong supporter of the Colonial Treasurer) says : " The reply given by Sir Julius Vpgel to the bootmakers' deputation showed very clearly the direction in which he would like the policy of the Government to tend, He is at heart, it scorns, a Protectionist, and there are one or two of his. colleagues who bold similar views ; but we do not believe that the Ministry, as a whole, is committed to any euch policy, and even the Protectionist members of the Cabinet will probably pause before they risk their political existence on the question. New Zealand, we are quite certain, will not stand Protection. The pnblic will not submit to an increase in the cost of the necessaries of life in order that a small section of the community may make a profit by manufac turing what can be much more cheaply im ported." The Dunedin "Star".takes up the same line, and in its last night's issue observes :—" It is quite true a reactionary feeling has been excited by the Protectionist outburst, but it is antagonistic to Protection. The Go vernment have not, and dare not put it to the proof openly. Their policy is rather ingenious, but certainty is dis ingenuou-. They aim at the accom plishment of two things—to increase the revenue and to win popular favour ; and thu.'e aro incompatible. It may be safely predicted of them that they will not intro duce Protective measures as such, but will endenvour to smuggle them through the Houpo upon come specious pretext of adjust ing the tariff. The open avowal of a Pro tectionist policy would lead to their removal from the Government and that is a condition which,they are not prepared to risk for the eake-of any policy or principle." '■-;"■; ■■ ■ ~ The movement for a Macaiidrew memorial has been taken up warmly in Otago, and well it may be, for Mr Maoandrew did much for that part of the colony ; but a proposal which will excite a good deal of opposition is that put. forward by Mr Hutchison in the Dunedin "Star." He suggests that the Legislature should be asked to make a substantial grant for Mr Macandrew'a daughter : " I am not sure," hoeaye, " that even this letter will meet -with the family's approval; but as one who knew Mr Macandrew well, I feel that I am justified on pubic grounds in writing it and in uiging the proposal it contains! all the more that not many years ago as Eome or Mr Hacandrcw's friends may know a gift of 5,000 acres of land was offered to him by tie Government of the day as an acknowledgment of his cervices to the colony. Mr Macandrew then declined the gift—l think wisely declined it-but how many men in the circumstances would have done bo ? and the reasons which led to his declining do not exist in the case of his daughter." Now, while we eym pathiee moat heartily with any movement to present a popular testimonial—either in the form of a memorial or as a grant to hit family, if that be deemed desirable by those who know the circumstances—the practice of coming down upon the colonial revenues in such matters is one that must be die countenanced. If the people of Otago are as genuine in their gratitude to Mr Macandrew for his public services as they profess to be. there ■will be no difficulty in raieing a testi monial that will poeeesß a much higher value tba» any monetary grant from the Public Treasury could possibly have Of course, it will be the duty of the Loins' lature to send to the family an address of condolence upon the lots which not only they, but the colony, have sustained bj six Macandrew's death.
