SATURDAY, JULY 23, 1887.

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

Our morning contemporary, the ,' Herald," has sedulously endeavoured to prejudice the minds of the Parnell electors against Mr Moss. By sup. pressing portions of his speeches, and misrepresenting his action in the House, it may mislead persons who are not familiar with the political career of the member for Parnell. AVo regret, therefore, that Mr S. T. George, at his meeting last night, endea doured to excuse his candidature in opposition to an old and tried Liberal, who has sacrificed so much for Radical ism as Mr Moss has done, by re echoing the "Herald's" childish cry that Mr Moss is in favour of the pre sent Government. The truth, as we all well know, is that he in common with many others, is anxious to see tho Government re-constructed in such a way as will prevent the entire break-up of "the Liberal party, which the --Herald" is doing its best to accomplish. Mr George is not happy in his references to this point. Mr Moss did not leave his party, for the Parliamentary records show that he distinctly refused to attach himself to either side during the last two ses sions. He avowed his intention to re main alone, if necessary, until a party should be formed to secure reduction of expenditure and a limitation of borrowing, for which he has fought his best during the ten years he has been in Parliament. The prospect of such a party being formed in the next Parliament is most encouraging, and Mr Moss would certainly be one of its most valuable members.

Mr George considers retrenchment the great subject, and protection to native industry a red herring draw.n across the scent. We strongly support retrenchment, but as strongly support the protection that ought to bo con current if we would save the country from the depression which wild re trenchment alone must intensify. Re trenchment smells too much of the red herring now, as it has done in former times when merely used as a cry to oust a Ministry. Happily, the diffi culty of borrowing will force any Min istry that may be in oflice to face it in earnest. The question is how 1 Mr Moss says cut down the Parliament to 75 members instead of 150. Cut down the Ministers to 3 as the first step. Relieve the Assembly of all local work, and reconstitute suitable local govern ments to perform it. The machine would thus, he maintains, be more manageable, and more di rectly under popular control, and retrenchment be more easily and wisely effected. Mr George is content to point out numerous items which he thinks ought to be reduced to the extent of £195,000. But we have heard the same thing said so often by one member after another, and one party after another when in opposition, to be afterwards falsified by their action in Committee of Supply and in Office, that we are losing: faith. Ten years ago Sir George GreyJhold that he could and would easily reduce the expenditure by But even he failed then, and the most signal instance of failure was the neglect to sell the *■ palatial residences," against which popular feeling was so strongly bent. It is a matter of notoriety that one of the greatest obstacles to the sale of these residences was that the largest and most palatial—that of the Premier —was occupied for the two years during which the Grey Ministry was in office by Mr Seymour George himself. And it is a curious fact that the Hall-Atkinson Govern ment worked the Grey Ministry out aud themselves into office on this very cry of impending ruin and retrenchment. Now, if there is one man in the House who has been a consistent and persistent advocate of retrenchment and economy, and an opponent of the policy of in flation with borrowed money, it is Mr _}. J. Moss.

We repeat our regret that Mr George should have elected to oppose one with whoso principles he professes himself to be oii nearly all points in perfect accord. .We find that Mr Moss voted against putting the prosent coalition I\f inistry into powor, aud that he voted with Major Atkinson on the want of confidence motion when Sir George Groy supported the Stout-Vogel coali tion in turning out of office the Go vernment which' Major Atkinson had then just formed, Mr Moss supported that Government because, as he

said, it was a thorough change in the system under which the Continuous Ministry had so long controlled the colony. Mr Hursthouse, Mr Wake field, and other young New Zealanders were for the first time admitted to power. This break up, by the action of Sir George Grey, was a cause of re s-ret at the time, and led to the triumph of the Stout-Vogel combination, a com bination which every true Liberal will be glad to see dissolved. Only let us beware that this is not made the means at the same time of playing into the hands of those who desire the destruc tion and not tho re-construction of the Liberal party. Is Mr Seymour George quite certain that he is not being so used in the present contest for Parnell.

THE PANAMA CANAL.

The news with regard to the Panama Canal received by yesterday's mail is discouraging to those who have clung with blind faith to M. de Lesseps. It looks very much as if the great reputation that was made at aSuez is about to be buried with the bodies of thousands of victims to the grand idea on the isthmus of Panama. We have treated the many adverse reports through American sources relative to the work with great caution, because, apart from tho railroad interest, which has been ceaseless in its opposition to the canal scheme, public feeling throughout the United States generally is against French enterprise on the American continent. But unless the American newspapers havo wilfully perverted the speech made by M. Boulanger before the American Society of Civil Engineers, things .are in a very bad way at the isthmus. Ac cording to the published reports, M. Boulanger, who is one of the chief en gineers of the canal, has stated that " about 30,000,000 cubic metres, of a total of 140,000,000 metres to be ex cavated, have now been removed, but. tho company only has money enough on hand to continue the work for four months, and lie doubted if De Lesseps could raise any more money for the company in France. The death-rate among labourers was about 60 per cent, among the coloured workmen and 80 per cent, among white labourers per an num. The company had great trouble in obtaining workmen owing to this fact." From other sources we learn that, at last advices, there were from 12,000 to 14,000 men at work on the canal. The cost incurred is over forty mil lions sterling, whilo the Suez Canal was completed for less than half the money. Reports concur in declaring that there has been a good deal of mis management in connection with the execution of the work; but still it has, we believe, been demonstrated that a canal there is practicable, and although the date of probable com pletion appears to recede with every bulletin from the scene of operations, we can hardly believe that, whether De Lesseps carries the work through or not, the vast expenditure already incurred will be left unproductive.

The charges and counter-charges arising out of the internal troubles of the Ponsonby Rifle corps, after being thoroughly investi gated, have now been finally relegated to the limbo of forgetfulness. Sir G. S. Whit more has, we understand, resolved to take no further proceedings in the matter be yond accepting the resignations of the offi cers and disbanding the Company. It is satisfactory to know that the last act in the drama has been reached.

The City Hall Skating Rink is shortly to be transferred to a fresh locality. Hoff man's Buildings in Elliott-street, is the intended site. The premises are in every way highly adapted for the purpose.

At the Opera House last night the Scotch " chiels," Messrs Munro, McKay, McLen nan, and Gordon Leslie, repeated their ex cellent performance, but on account of the very inclement weather the attendance was not large. The audience were, however, most enthusiastic in recognising the merits of the performers, who were ably assisted by local amateurs, comprising Mrs Wrm-lit Miss M. A. Moncur, Mr J. G. Harper,°Mr Simon Fraser, and Master Fraser; It is hoped that after they have visited the country districts the " chiels " will be pre vailed upon to give several more entertain ments in the city. The fortnightly meeting of the Mount liiden Baptist Band of Hope was held last evening, and considering the stormy weather there was a good attendance. The chair was taken by Mr-R. Grudge, who delivered a practical address on " The Need of Thoroughness," and urged all the members to practise it. Songs and recita tions were rendered by Misses Woodford Pillengerand Dews, and Messrs Pilleno-er and Dews. Several pieces were suim-l™ the choir in a very efficient manner. Hits Roberts presided at the harmonium. At the close several came forward to sio-n the pledge.

A rather singular incident was related at the meeting of. the Seamen's Union yester day. It was stated that just before tho Wellington took her departure for Whangarei, two passengers wero talk ing ,to a friend alongside _of the gangway, when one of them slipped his footing and fell between the steamer and the wharf. His companions cried out for assistance, but there appeared to be nobody on board to throw a rope. One of the dis charged Union sailors (who related the in cident) promptly got a rope and gave an end to the man in tho water. The friend on the wharf was assisting to pull the passenger out of the water when ho also fell in, letting go one end of the rope, to catch hold of the other. The Union man had therefore two rather beavv fish on the end of his line and held tliem with difficulty. He called for assistance, and asserts that only a boy responded. Eventually one of the immersed men climbed up and his friendwas hauled up by the rope, having lost two passage tickets aud a parcel.

We have been shown a telegram to Mr J. Aitken Connell, asking him to contest Dunstan against Mr Vincent Pyke, and intimating that an influential requisition will be forwarded in the event of Mr Con nell entertaining the suggestion favourably. Mr Connell asks us to say that such an idea as contesting an Otago seat has never even occurred to him, and that the communica tion in question is of an entirely spontaneous character. Mr Connell has sent a reply stating his views iri full.

The Rev. J. D. Gilmore's lecture on '■Ireland," which was to have been de livered in the Ponsonby Baptist Church last evening, was postponed on account of the inclemency of the weather, only about 50 persons being present. _Mr Gilmore related an incident in true Irish style that convulsed the audience with laughter, and satisfied them that a treat was in store.

SHOOTING ON THE ALAMEDA.

A Passenger Shot by a Woman

Shortly before the steamship Alameda left San Francisco on the Ist inst. a very re markable incident happened. It appears that amongst the steerage passengers booked for Auckland was a Mr Bishop, de scribed as a short, thick-set man with a beard. Otherwise little or nothing is known respecting his identity. About 2 p.m. on the date given, a woman, tall and powerfully built, stepped on board and enquired whether Mr Bishop was there. On being informed that he had gone ashore to make some purchases, she said very quietly that she would wait for him. She went into the steerage apartments, stood alongside of the steps leading to the main deck aud spoke on commoiiplaco topics with the man connected with the steamer. They noticed nothing remarkable about her up to this time, except that she had her right hand • hidden under a shawl wrapped round her shoulders. She lud not waited long when. Mr Bishop arrived and entered the steerage. He asked immediately to be shown his berth, and one of the stewards was proceeding to comply with his request, when he heard a shot fired, and the woman exclaim, "Take that with you." It seems that nobody act ually saw the shot fired. Mr Bishop called out loudly as if in great pain, and pressed his hands on his left side, where the bullet had evidently entered. He staggered to the deck and was promptly | placed in a vchicale and conveyed to the lleceivinsr Hospital, where the bullet was extracted from his back. The woman m the meantime was arrested on the steamer, and taken ashore. The Alameda sailed almost immediately afterwards, and our in formants were unable to ascertain tho cause of the shooting, or whether Mr Bishop s injuries were likely to prove fatal.
