THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.

BIR WITHY AT ST. GEORGE'S

HALL.

Mb Withy gave his final address to the electors of Newton in St. Gsorgc's Hall on Saturday night. The building was crowded, both, in the body of the hall and on the platform. Mr Lepper occupied bhe chair. Mr Withy referred to the in timidation circular which had been sent round to blie electors; he would ad vise bhem to take no heed ot ib it their claims to vote were good. Afber criti cising the Newton "Echo," he proceeded to discuss land nationalisation, protection and free trade, going over the ground pre viously traversed in his speeches. Mr Withy had a very fair hearing, bub on Mr Cox rising to propose a vote of thanks ana confidence a tremendous uproar took place, and Mr Thompson, who seconded, was also interrupted. Mr Young addressed the meeting, opposing the vote of confidence, and Mr Rae proposed, as an amendment, a vote of thanks only, but in the absence ot a seconder the resolution was pub to the meeting, and carried amidst a storm of cheering, hooting, groaning and cock crows.

MR GARRATT AT NEWTON.

Mr Garratt addressed a well-attended meeting of electors ab bhe Newton Protes tant Hall on Saturday evening, Mr Phillips presiding. Mr Garratt complained of very unfair treatment at the hands ot the opposing candidates and the newspapers, and asserted that overtures had been made to him by supporters of the Hon. J. A. Tole bo rebire from bhe contest, all his ex penses to be paid. Ab the close of the address, a vote of thanks and confidence in Mr Garrabb was carried with only some half-dozen dissenbienbs.

FINANCIAL REFORM ASSOCIATION.

On Saturday evening a meeting was held in the Newmarket Hall under the auspices of the Financial Reform Association. The business under consideration was the for mation of a branch of the Association in the lorough of Newmarket. The attendance ■was not large. In the absence of the Mayor, Mr F. G. Clayton was voted to the chair. He briefly opened the proceedings by read ing the advertisement convening the meeting, after which Mr Theo. Cooper suggested the desirability of postponing the meeting owing to the small attendance. He considered that as the meeting was not one affecting the candidature of any person in the present election, it would be better to defer it until after the turmoil of the election had ceased. It was too much to expect that they could get a re presentative meeting for a purpose, which although its object was one of general in terest, was not affecting any particular can didate. What was wanted was to establish a branch of the Political Financial Reform Association in Newmarket, and in order to get a reflex of public opinion it was desir able that they should have a representative attendance, and they might get that next •week. He therefore moved that the meet ing stand back until Tuesday next. This was seconded by Mr McLachlan. Mr Jenkins as an amendment moved, " That the meeting be proceeded with." This was adopted after some discussion. Mr Theo. .Cooper then delivered an able address, in the course of which he fully expounded the objects of the Association. In concluding^, moved, " That the expen diture in connection with the Government ot the colony is exceesivo, and far beyond the necessities and requirements." Mr F. Cherry seconded the motion, and spoke at some length in support of it, and on being put to the meeting it was carried. Mr E. W. Burton moved, "That it is desirable to form a branch of the Auckland Reform Association in Newmarket." This was seconded by Mr Buttle. Mr Jenkins moved as an amendment, " That in consequence of the smallness of the audience, the present meeting be ad journed," and this being agreed to, a vote of thanks was accorded to the Chairman, and the meeting terminated.

WAIKATO NOTES.

(BY TELEGRAPH —OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Hamilton, Saturday. The monthly meeting of the Piako County Council was held in the Borough Council Chambers, Hamilton, this morning. There were present Messrs W. C. L. Williams (Chairman), Gould, Brunskill, Murphy and Chepmell. The Chairman of the Ohine muri County Council wrote on the question of the proclamation sanctioning1 the exten sion of the boundaries of the Thames Har bour Board district, and asked that concerted action be taken by the two counties so as to enable local bodies to act independently, and also to make strenuous efforts to obtain the control of the whole of the Waihou and Piako Kivers Avith their affluents, removed from the jurisdiction of the Thames Harbour Board, and placed under that of an elective body irrespective of the counties or other boundaries; and that representatives meet to discuss the matter at Paeroa. Upon the motion of Cr. Chepmell, seconded by the Chairman, it Was carried that the Government be asked, to entertain the application referred to by the Onehunga Council, and that the proclamation be received, leaving the control of the rivers to the counties. Regarding a request for payment of £7 10s for services rendered by the clerk of the Te Aroha Town Board as clerk of the Licensing Committee, it was agreed that the clerk be paid £5 for services up to 30th of June, the other portion to be paid by the Town Board, and that for the future he be allowed the sum of two guineas per annum. The usual report from the manager of the tramway was received. The Colonial Secretary wrote asking the Coun cil to postpone the county elections, which fell due on the 9th of November,for a week, in hononr of the birthday of the Prince ot Wales. Upon the motion of Cr. Murphy, seconded by Cr. Chepmell, it was agreed to act according to the Colonial Secretary's wish. As' to the Gordon settlement, the report received from the Committee was considered highly satisfac tory, and as to the construction of roads, it was thought by some members of the Coun cil that they should stay the formation of roads until they knew what money was com ing to the Council under the Special Settle ments Act. After one or two unimportant matters the following accounts were passed for payment: —Tramway : Wages, etc., £76 13s; F. Yate, £13 15s sd; W. Hunt, £2 10s ; R. McLeod, 8s 6d; clerk, £3 15s ;D. J. Fraser, £2 11s; R. Mitchell, £5; C. Murphy, £5 12s; F. Pavitt, £13 3s 9d; F. Taylor, £4 16s; Hogan and party, £40 4s ; do., deposit ac count, £4 ;Mr Hay, £25 6s. This was all the business, and the Council rose. Miss Biggs has been promoted assistant teacher in the Hamilton East school.

There was a large sale of meat at the Hamilton auction mart to-day, and fair prices were realised.

FOOTBALL MATCHES.

Ponsoney Second v. Huntly.—This match was played ab Potter's Paddock on Satur day, before a very meagre attendance of spectators. Ponsonby kicked off against the wind, and by sharp dribbling and quick packing, kept play Huntly's territory for some time, when Mayne, from a good pass by Samways, got across the line for the blue and blacks. Laird took the place kick, bub was unsuccessful. Huntly showed up well after this, and had the local men in difficulties several times, Luke, Ralph, and Harris making some good runs, bub the collaring of Beamish, McConnell, and Laird prevented them from scoring. On the change of goals, Ponsonby ab once rushed bho ball into Huntly territory, but for a long time were unable to score, bill T. Whiteside by a good run touched down behind. McConnell was successful in con verting it into a goal. After this Huntly played up well, and Harris, by good running and punting, kept the play in Ponsonby's twenty-live. Twice he was nearly thrown into touch, being a couple of yards from the line each time. Ab lasb from a nice pass Turner got in for Huntly, but Harris wasunabletoaddthe three points. T. Whiteside, by a good run from his own twenty-five, added another two points to Ponsonby's score, and after some very in teresting play the game finished in a vic tory for Ponsonby by 9 points to 2. Ralph, Harris, Smith, and Marshall were the most prominent for the visitors, while Moore, Beamish, Fagan, Gash, and Laird were conspicuous for the blue and blacks. _ In the evening the Ponsonby entertained the Huntly team at a smoke concert in the Imperial Hotel. Mr J. Wooller occupied the chair supported by the captains of the two teams, about 40 being present. A very enjoyable evening was spent, the usual toasts being honoured, while songs were given by Messrs White, George, Leedham, Ralph, Bayley, Whiteside and others. The proceedings closed with " Old Lang Syne " shortly after ten. Albany v. Colonial.—The former won by 2 points to nit, the try being obtained by Luke.

Wanderers v. Rangers ll.—Wanderers were again victorious, winning by seven goals to nil. Tries for the winners were secured by Mills (2), Sheldon (2), Courtney (2) and P. White (1). The Rangers gave in twenty minutes before time. Links v. Saracens.—Great interest was taken in this match, which was played at Dilworch's Paddock. The Saracens kicked off against the wind, but the Links soon pressed them, and after having all the best of the playing succeededinobtainingagoal, Massey scoring off a corner kick by Harvey. On the change of goals the Saracens rallied and had the Links in difficulties the whole of the time, but were unable to score. Gould, Upfil and Shakespeare played splendidly for the losers, while Heather, Mercer, and Wooller were particularly noticeable for the Links. As the result of this match makes both teams level for the Association Cup, they will play off next Saturday.

Grafton v. Thames.—The Graf ton F.C. journeyed to the Thames on Saturday to play the local club. After a very hard fought and enjoyable game the Grafton won by 15 points to nil, Lecky, Elliott, and Cole obtaining tries, all of which Lecky converted into goals. McGregor and Buchan played well for the local men while Twiname, Spencer and Madigan were the most conspicuous for the winners.

CORRESPONDENCE.

To the Editor: Sir,—Pleaseallowme to cor rect an error that has crept into report of a meeting held at Lake School, on the 22nd inst. 1 have been made to say that we did nofc want shopkeepers at the Lake. What I did say was this :—" That Devonport would not suffer if the Lake district were settled, and that every resident added would be a benefit instead of an injury to their grocers, butchers and bakers." We had no idea of erectirig shops, but hoped to make it a home for the tradesmen of Auckland, who could thus enjoy the delight of a suburb unequalled in beauty and purity of air,etc, I am a shopkeeper myself, and am not such a cad as to utter such a statement. On the contrary, I invite every shopkeeper or any other person who wishes to see the Lake bo come to my place, and will place my services and boats at their disposal every Monday and Tuesday up to Christ mas, in the hope that they will rent, lease or buy a place on which to make a home. I have no land to dispose of, and am only interested in it by the great attraction of its varied beauties and healthful location.— Yours, etc., W. H. Shakespjsak, Stratford, Lake Takapuna. September 24th, 1887.

The New Refuge.

(To the Editor.)

Stb,— I find that Mr Suiter's motion to build a new refuge has been carried at the last meeting of the Charitable Aid Board, and I woulcf remind the Board of the abso lute necessity of having a few small rooms in the new building for peculiar cases of affliction, where it ia necessary to have peace and quietness to make life enjoyable or even bearable. I know that some suf ferers of sensitive feelings, a cultivated mind and refinement, would prefer death to being placed in a large ward with a number of men of uncontrollable temper, who provoke and annoy all those who, cannot es cape from them, and it would be a lament able mistake on the part of the Board to ignore or deny suffering humanity the last link that binds them to a life of desolation, misery and pain, and no doubt it was the intention of the donor (Mr Costley) to help such individuals, and promote the comfort and happiness of the unfortunate and help less.— Chabity.

Insurance Rates.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—The apathy of insurers in submitting so long to the high charges of the Associa tion in Auckland ia most surprising. That the honest insurer has to pay for the dishonest ones is no doubt true.as Inspector Shearman states, and the sooner the honest ones band themselves together in a protec tive association the better it will be for themselves. At the present tariff few can insure up to near a safe point, but the dishonest-intentioned, to whom an extra 25 per cent, can be of little hindrance. The policy of the Insurance Associations can hardly be called a good one even for themselves. The high premiums will not bring in more money, as the honest insurer will go for a lest amount and run the risk. It is said that Insurance Companies look upon a fire when it does not come too often as a necessity for a good support to them by creating the demand, and no doubt many will agree with me that if there were no tire insurance companies in New Zealand

it would be better for us all. .To business people especially, ibis becoming a learfuj tax created by the companies style oI busi ness in overinsuring, and their not under standing values of stock, &c, and so tnakine risk for neighbours who would Association could afford to pay a few com petenb valuers of different stocks and hou a e property, who could have an eye on insured J acPes framtime to time, and thus by lessen ing fires, reduce the premium, which s now double what it ought to be under careful management.—lam, etc., INSURER.

Property Tax v. Income Tax.

(To the Editor.) Sir —Although I am not displeased at you for publishing in your issue September 12tli John Jones's criticism of my lettei which you published in part on September 7th, still I do not think the principle a fan one which allows an adverse criticism on a lebter not published in full. I presented a difficulty which would occur in the transition from one tax to the other, that is till the moneylenders' obligations ceased, and asked how the advocates of the income tax got over it. J. J. does nob answer or throw any light on the subject, bufc goes on as if it was the whole question. He seems to forget that any person taxed on £500 must have pro perty worth £1,000 ; the tax at ono penny per nound would be about £2. ISow it is quite evident if the £40 of income is is to yield the same revenue, the rate will be one shilling per £. So we lind that any person with nothing but an income ot £bU per year, or about thirty shillings per week, would pay the same as the person worth £1,000, and yet J. J. is gushing with sym pathy for the great burdens these poor people with only £1,000 in their pocket have got to bear. I wonder he does not say it is a shame that the rate of interest is not 30 per cent, in place of 8 per cent., for then the two exemption points would meet. There is no doubb a curious anomaly m all this, incidental I suppose to the transi tional state, which might be gob over by a conditional clause that the moneylender s obligations would be gradually changed as his contracts expired. If there be a better way, why not tell the electors of it 'i My object would be quite gained by showing the colony will be no better by the proposed change ; neither will the money lender, for if he be lighter taxed he will have to give cheaper money. Ib is nob the property tax which frightens away capital;. it is quite easy for lenders and in vestors tp calculate ao long as they are sure of things remaining steady. I am quite convinced the ahoe would pinch the same corn as badly under the income tax as the property tax.—l am, etc., A. Scott,

Spiritualism.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—Permit me to offer a few remarks with regard to your notice in Satur day's Supplement entitled " Spiritualism Exposed." I have been interested in this subject for some years, and have attended many private stances at Home and else where, where no paid or professional mediums were present. The result of these investigations has convinced me that there is an inexplainable mystery about spiritualism that is not to be set aside so easily as the " Seybert Commission " think. That " mediumistic charlatans " are to be found I am willing to admit; but that no more constitutes spiritualism a "fraud" than the hypocritical pro fessors of Christianity can impeach the " truth as it is in Jesus." Throughout the civilised world spiritualism has its ad herents by thousands, and under one form or the other it is as old as the Jewish faith. Like all other matters enshrouded in mys tery, it has had its persecutors even to the death, which was its penalty under the Mosaic law, but in the present day there is no fear that its interests will be imperilled by either persecution or the con demnation of any self-appointed " Com mission." It has this advantage over Christianity and every other faith extant, that it has to do with experi mental facts. Its investigators are not required to accept anything as true unless it is proved and demonstrated. From the Christian standpoint we are taught to believe that the disembodied spirit enters upon another state of existence after its life on earth ; but spiritualism does more than this. It gives proof that such is the case, and not only that, but by its agency we may be en abled to commune with those known and endeared to us on earth, which is a boon and incalculable blessing, and does much to disarm death of its terrors and alleviate the anguish of those bereaved. Trusting you ■will be able, in fairness, to give this pub licity,—l am, etc., A. W. Hurry, Helens ville.
