For the cause that lacks assistance, For Che -wrong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, • And the good that vre can do.

It is not at all surprising that the pre sence 6f Mr F. J. Moss in the House of Representatives as the. member for Parnell should be a source of much vexation of spirit to certain sections in the electorate. For, really, when one comes to think about the matter, it is very shocking for an aristocratic con. stituency like Parnell to be represented by a person who went out to Eumeo to fraternise with "those dread fuj creatures, the unemployed ;" who interests himself in fishermen's griev -1 ances, and openly asserts that a resi dent in "the Avenue" should only have one vote like Jones or Smith, who lives in "quite a small cottage." jNoir can we be astonished that Mr Sey mour Thorne George, as a man of leisure, hofr - nobbing daily with the " jam ■ tart" element of Parnell society, . should have been per suaded ihat the voice of "the Avenue" is the voice of Par nell. Nkme of the^e things, we repeat, surprise . us; on the. con trary, they are just ao they should be, and.in their naturai order. But what dpes astonish us' is that any working man knowing anything of Mr Moss^ political career, knowing how thoroughly hjs mind is saturated with Democratic doctrines, which are the life-blood oi a free governing .State shouldwishtoseeMrMossreplacedbyMr

Seymour George. At the nomination on Saturday Mr Moss put his finger right on the seat of the opposition to him when he spoke of the survivals of Toryism. sChere is no Tory like the colonial Tory. Lord Salisbury is a Liberal compared with him. "By Jove, sir, Eussia would be checkmated in Bulgaria, Frauce be driven out of the New Hebrides, Germany sent to the right about at Samoa, and the Irish go pellmell to America or the devil" if these valiant gentlemen had their way. And as for the work ing man, he must he taught his place in creation. Big guns and big money-bags are the omnipotent Jupiter before which the world should make its obeisance. To those who object that the picture is overdrawn we say listen to the howlings of the Conser vative press, and then say whether it is an exaggeration. No! Colonial Toryism is a great fact; it is in colonial society like the red patch in the seat of the clown's unmentionables, and if the Democratic bull does not go straight for it and send the wearer sky high in these elections, he will have Ipst his old fire, and reached that senile age when a ring may be put in his nose to lead him round with a string. ■..,

Let us not be misunderstood. We do not wish it to be inferred that all " the Avenue " or all Mr Moss's op ponents are Tories. There is plenty of intelligence and genuine Liberalism in " the Avenue," and Mr Moss will probably poll his full share there; but what we do say is that the spirit of the opposition to Mr Moss is Toryism ; it cannot be anything else. For if we take Mr Moss's public career for the last 25 years in Otago and in Auck land; if we examine the records of " Hansard " for the nine years during which he has represented Parnell, there is not a single act, not a single vote, that does not bear the genuine Liberal stamp. Mr George, at the nomination on Saturday, hinted that when he was whip of the Grey party he sometimes had a diffi culty in whipping Mr Moss into " the right lobby." The term lacks defini tion. " The right lobby," we presume, is the particular lobby into which Mi- George himself entered. And that considerable difficulty was experienced in getting Mr Moss there is perfectly true, In several notable instances Mr George not only found "great diffi culty," but utterly failed. There was that East Coast land jobbing com pany's bill, for example, in support of which Mr George whipped so zealously, and which was the last straw that broke the party's back. Mr Moss, if our memory serves us aright, did a little whipping on his own account, and his whipping killed the bill, which the pro moters never had the impudence to bring into Parliament again. Mr Moss has remained steadfast to the principles of his party, and these were a very much nobler and cleaner thing than the party lobby. If Sir George Grey had been surrounded by men of the same Bterling calibre, the party would be a power in New Zealand to-day. It was such whipping as Mr Seympur George gave to the bill conferring special powers and privileges upon a private land-jobbing company, and such breaches of solemn pledges as were committed by Mr George's occupancy of one of the Minis terial residences, which the Grey party were pledged to sell, that brought the party to grief. We can very well understand the trials of Mr George in attempting to guide a man of the intellectual capacity and ex perience of Mr F. J. Moss. But if he and his party had given up the attempt to whip the member for Parnell into unworthy lobbies, and had followed Mr Moss's counsel to put the curb on borrowing and apply the efforts of the Government to administrative re forms, to retrenchment, and the pro motion of local industry, New Zea land would have been in a much better position to-day.

The reasons alleged in the present contest for ousting Mr Moss from the seat he has so faithfully filled in the Parliament of New Zealand are of the most trumpery description. He has a long political record, and fills as many pages of "Hansard" as any private member, but his opponents studiously avoid challenging him upon that record. They will find no shady votes there, but a fearless ex posure of everything savouring of a job, no matter what Government fathered it. Driven to extremities, they attempt to beguile people who know no better with the poor cry that Mr Moss's vote on the motion which unseated the Ministry implies that he is a Govern ment supporter. Why, it is notorious that Sir Julius Vogel has had no more consistent and persistent opponent throughout his public career than Mr Moss. They began their political ri valry in the Provincial Council of Gtago, when Mr Moss held the port folio of Provincial Treasurer, and have been poetical opponents ever since. Mr Moss has preached against borrow ing and for retrenchment until he has earned the title of the New Zealand Cassandra. His voice was consistently raised against Sir Julius Vogel's policy in the days of his power, and he op posed the motion which restored him to office on his last return to New Zea land, when the votes of the Grey party were recorded in its favour and gave the Stout-Vogel Ministry their majority. And this man, forsooth, is bound to the present Government! Does Mr George take the electors for fools 1 The vote given by Mr Moss on the resolution which led to the defeat of the Ministry was the only vote a man holding his opinions could consistently have given. The Opposition were pressed to table a clirect want-of-confidence motion, but this plain course the leaders refused to follow. Whippingaround, however,they foundjthat a majority in a notoriously Free trade House could be obtained in

favour of a motion condemning the tariff proposals of the Government, and the resolution which the Cabinet ac cepted a? a vote of want of confidence was confined to a condemnation of the tariff proposals of the Ministry. Based as these were on Protectionist principles, and subject to a distinct promise that alterations would be freely permitted in committee, Mr Moss, as a consistent advocate for many years of judicious tariff assist ance to local industry, was bound to support the second reading of the Tariff Bill. If he had committed himself to. a vote which avowedly meant the substitution of a tax on tea and sugar for the duties on manufac tured articles, Mr Moss would have stultified his whole political life, and exposed himself to ridicule.

But apart from these considerations, which compelled Mr Moss to vote as he did, we venture to say that it was not the wish of the electors of Parnell then, nor is it now, that the present Government should be turned out of office without a distinct assurance that they will be replaced by a better set of men. The colony will never sub mit to a re-insfcatement of the Hall- Atkinson Administration, and although the changes brought about by the gen eral elections will probably render that contingency a remote one, it is the duty of every member to see his way clearly to an improvement before he makes a change. The onslaught made by the Opposition upon the Pro tective duties of the Government, the mining vote, and the expenditure on Village Settlements and education might well cause any member who had the interests of the colony at heart to pause before rashly endorsing changes which might prove disastrous to the country.

No one who knows Mr Moss has trouble in determining what party he belongs to, or how he will vote on any given question; but will Mr George be good enough to tell us what par ticular party he professes to illuminate with the light of his genius 1 The records of "Hansard" are open to us for the determination of this knotty problem, but they throw so little light upon the subject that we should like some explicit personal explanation. When Parnell turned from Mr Reader Wood to Mr Moss it lost none of its influence in the House, while it gained very much in warm-hearted sympathy and knowledge of , the people. 1% would be a strange freak to deprive the House of the practical utility of Mr Moss at the very moment when the country is in the mood to listen to the views which he has been preaching for so many years to deaf ears, i Next to Major Atkinson, he has a clearer grasp of the Public Accounts than any other member of the House.1 There is no calculating upon what may result from one of those peculiar waves of insanity which at times pass over a people,.but we shall, be amazed indeed if the electors of Parnell, at this crisis in the.history of New Zealand^ determine by their votes to deprive the- colony of the services of Mr Moss, in order • that they may gratify Mr George's ambition for a seat fin Parliament. If the working men of Parnell* are guilty of such flagrant treachery to a man whose every thought has been devoted to their interests they must have discovered qualities in his opponent which after a good many years' study we have failed to detect.

AUCKLAND CENTRAL.

The nomination for Auckland Centra* took place to-day, when the unanimous wish that Sir George Grey should be returned unopposed was gratified. Even those who hare been politically opposed to Sir George Grey in the past do not withhold their admiration for .the eminent services which he ha 3 ren dered to Aucklandandthecolonyof New Zealand. Out of office, even more than when Prime Minister, Sir George Grey has stamped the impress of his mind upon the bulk of the legislation that has received the sanction of Parliament. Holding a unique place in the House, his voice is power ful for good, and if Auckland had a few more men of equal intel lectual greatness to choose from, there would be less difficulty in deter mining who shall represent her in terests. Upon Sir George Grey has fallen the well-merited distinction of being Auckland's first choice for the new Parliament.

TO THE ELECTORS OF PARNELL.

According to announcement made on Saturday, in our leading columns to-day we review the political contest in Parnell. The issues in this election appear to in volve in a special measure 'the prin ciples of Liberalism and the interests of working men, and we strongly urge upon all electors who have the cause of Liberalism at heart to ponder the matter well before they record their votes. To morrow we shall discuss the contests in Newton and Auckland West. «

Our cable messages to-day state that cholera is increasing at Naples and Messina. This frightful scourge has long been linger ing ■in Italy, and apparently no effectual means have been taken to extirpate it. On the 3rd of August last it was reported that there had been five cases of cholera and one death at Malta. A ten-days quarantine against that place had been established at Gibraltar. It is instructive to note the ravages of this fell disease in Chili, and the action of the Government to check it. According to official reports, there were 10,236 deaths from cholera in Chili during the period from January Ist to June, of this year, and the Government ex pended ' §1,007,000 in fighting the epi demic.

BRETTS Auckland Almanac AND PROVINCIAL HANDBOOK FOR 1888. The aim of this work is to describe in an inter esting manner the Vast Resources, the Climate, the Scenery of the Auckland Provincial Dis trict; its Mountains. Harbours, Rivera, and Lakes; its Forests and its Plains; it» Cul. tivated and Waste Lands, and to show Foreign Capitalist* that our Genial Clime, Rich Lands, and Mineral Products, and Intelligent, Go-a. head People offer inducements to intonding investors or settlers superior to those of any other part of the world. Other colonial handbooks have largely mis represented this naturally rich and beautiful province, whilo the pages of the above work are devoted entirely to setting forth Auckland's capabilities and its many superior advaitfages % in addition to which the fullest information is afforded of all Political, Social, and Religious matters of Provincial or Colonial importance. As each year the contents are re-written, and the statistical information brought up to th e latest date, the Annual Volume becomes a valu ablo Work of Reference worthy of a permanent place in every Colonist's library. This valuable publication being designed to further the prosperity of Auckland, the price charged is merely nominal. As the Book has now become a work of daily reference in thehome of every settler throughout the'province, and is in use in all public offices in the colony and in ■ many leading places abroad, it may with confidence be described as the best permanent Medium of Advertising of fered to business men. The work will be issued at tho old price— ONE SHILLING. SECRETARIES of MASONIC LODGES FRIENDLY SOCIETIES, TRADB, M ERCAN TILE, SPORT, MUSICAL, and OTHER SOCIETIES are repuested to forward to THIS OFFICE, addressed "EDITOR BRETT'S ALMANAC." the information necessary for the compilation of the Directory attached to the Almanac. The publisher is desirous of going to press earlier than usual.
