The New Zealand Shipping Company S fine ship Piako arrived from London this morning and dropped anchor ab the powder ground in order to discharge a quantity of explosives.

Captain Sutherland reports having left London on July 2nd, and had head winds down channel, which was cleared on the sixth day out. South westerly winds prevailed henco until the N.E. trades wore picked up. They wore fairly good, and tho Equator was crossed on thc36th day out. The S.E. trades were fresh and good, and progress was made, but in running down the lasting, very unsettled weather was experienced with the wind varying from N. to S.E. Tasmania was pissed twelve days ago and Cape Brett sighted on Monday last. From Tasmania till arrival fresh S.W. winds were ex perienced. The Piako>ill probably berth at Queen-street wharf to-morrow.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1887.

For tho came that lacks assistance, For the -wrong that needs resistance, For the furore in the distance, And the good that we can do.

The statement wired from Wellington that Major Atkinson is of opinion that the " Continuous Ministry" should not be restored in any shape is welcome news. The Major's limit to the number of former Ministers who may be admitted to the new Cabinet is stated to ba two, and rumour says that himself and Sir John Hall or Sir Frederick Wbdtaker are the coming men. Now, Sxr John Hall would be generally objectionable to the Radical party, and we do not see how the Cabinet could hope to hold the support of that section of the Opposi tion with the member for Selwyn at its head. As to Sir Frederick Whit aker, everyone recognises Ms great ex perience, ability, and public service, but his age and broken health disqualify him from acting as more than a friendly counsellor to the new Cabinet. If he were chosen Auckland would claim and must insist upon having another member in the Ministry. Patriot ism is a very good thing, but our patriotism is more likely to be sincere when we feel confidence that the Government are dealing justly with our own local interests as well as those of the rest of the colony. Taking all things into account, therefore, we be lieve the feeling of the country and the wishes of the Opposition party would be served most effectually if Major Atkin son were to reduce his proposed repre sentation of the Continuous Ministry by one-half—in short, limit it to himself— land make previous service on the ' Treasury Benches an absolute bar to o_-ce.' The universal feeling of the country" is in favour of new men, and never has the House of Representatives afforded better material from which such a Cabinet could bo chosen. For 'Auckland, either Mr Moss or Mr Peacock would ably represent the interests of the North, and we feel sure that Mr would cordially waive his own claims to office 'in the general desire to strengthen the party. Hawkes Bay could° contribute Captain Russell; Wellington, Mr Fisher or Mr Boetham; Otago, Mr Fergus or Mr Scobie MoKenzie ; and if the Canterbury phalanx in the House of Bepresentatives refused to yield a suit able man, a Minister be chosen from among its representatives in the Upper House. The Government must httve someone to conduct its business

' Major Atkinson, judged by every rule is the most entitled to the Premiership, and he could combine that portfolio with the Treasury or tlie latter office would be ably filled by

Mr F. .1. Moss. The claims of Mr Peacock to a seat in any new Ministry are also very strong. He was offered, and on party grounds refused, a port folio in the Vogel Ministry. Such an act gives him a right to ex pect that his own party will not treat him with less consideration and confidence than his opponents. He would make one of the hest Ministers of Mines fhe colony has ever had, or would, we believe, administer the Public Works Department with satis faction to the colony at large. Mr Peacock's administrative talent has been fully displayed during his terms as Mayor of Auckland and in con-

nection with the various public com panies of which he is a director. Sir George Grey's remark in an in terview with our Parliamentary re porter yesterday, that the elections have freed Major Atkinson from a number of political ties which encum bered his freedom of action and aroused tho distrust of Liberals, has great force. The member for Egmont hay, indeed, at this moment reached the most momentous stage in his political career. He has the associations of the past, the popular dislike that attached to the Continuous Ministry, far behind him. Will he go back and revive them, or will he justify the expectation and gratify the earnest desire of the country by making an entirely new departure ? We shall see.

SIGNS OF WAR.

Still the feverish state of suspense and painful anticipation is maintained in Europe, and our cable news of to day contains further disquieting items. The activity of Italy in forming alli ances is an ominous sign of the near ness of the long-expected outbreak of war. Austria has taken alarm at the Hostile attitude of Servia, and "to guard against any sudden coup by Russia in that direction, is looking to the defence of Bosnia and Herze govina. Despite the fulminations of excited statesmen and journalists, there seems to be no immediate likeli hood of a rupture taking place between France and Germany. More than a month ago Mr Charles Williams, the war correspondent of the London " Chronicle," was interviewed •at Chicago, and expressed the opinion that there would not be a war between Germany and France, but that Eng land and Italy would unite with Tur key in a grand combat with Russia. When he left England General Wolse ley advised him not to be absent after March, 1888. As we have before pointed out, Austria will have to fight for self-preservation, and in our opinion Germany will only interfere in the event of Austria being worsted. All the world over, war is "in the air." France is about to re new her fitful', struggkilft gascar, Germany has ,entered upon a similar enterprise in Samoa, Spain is prosecuting a " little war " at the Caro line Islands, there is an active rebellion in Afghanistan, and Italy has a serious "affair" on hand with the warlike Abyssinians. Whether the " martial spirit?' so called—more properly the survival of barbaric instincts—-among the European nations will be appeased by these conflicts with primitive peoples remains to be seen. The fear is that while the war fever ison them, and their • armed millions are in th:! _fighting attitude, some trifling cause will be ac cepted as the signal for throwing down the gage of battle ; and then we shall see what " civilised warfare" really means.

THE FACTORY ACT IN VICTORIA.

It is interesting to know how Victoria, the Australian colony that has made the most rapid strides in manufac turing industries, manages to control the factories established there, and New Zealand has a special interest in the matter from the fact that she is just now making strenuous efforts to increase the number and variety of her industrial pursuits. The first report of the Chief Inspector of Factories for Victoria was submitted to the Assembly at "Melbourne the Other day. This report states that during 1886 there were 1,949 places regis tered, employing 39*506 persons,! 11,027 of whom were females. On| the whole the Act had been very suc cessfully introduced, and was regarded with favour by all classes. Some diffi culty has been experienced in obtain ing statistics from factories as to the ages and names of the employes. The sections limiting the hours of labour to 48 per week have been found to work well, and proved especially beneficial to women and children, enabling them to, earn a decent livelihood without impair ing health, and also giving them time to attend to domestic duties. The im provement in the guarding of machinery was very manifest, but a still remained to be done in this direc tion, and both employers and workmen were often to blame for dilatoriness in adonting safeguards against accidents. The" sanitary provisions of the Act were working satisfactorily, and the ventilation of work-rooms was now much more carefully attended to. The evergreen "Chinese difficulty, crops up in this report. Regarding the registration and supervision o Chinese furniture factories, the report states that the greatest difficulties are experienced on account of the factories being in out-of-the-way places. Their disregard for sanitary laws is referred to, and it is stated that as a rule the Chinese "live and workinthesameplace, which is often usedasa baker s shop and eating-house as well." There are 2o factories employing 320 doubtful whetherthis includes even Ult
