THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.

Mr Garratt at Eden Hall

Mb Harry Garratt addressed a number of the electors of Newton last evening in the Eden Hall. There was a good attend ance, a few ladies also being present.

Mr T. B. Hill was voted to the chair. He said that being an open supporter of Mr Withy, he was rather surprised at being called to take the chair. He, however, be- j; lieved in fair play, and would ask them to give Mr Garratt a fair and impartial hear ing. i Mr Garratt was received with applause. He said all he asked for was fair play, and .that they would vote for the best man. It jhad been stated that he was an atheist, and ;he challenged that man to come forward at that meeting and prove his words. He would repeat that whatever came he would go to the poll. Tfc was well known that he was a Greyite, but still he was willing to admit that there might be some faults in the principle. # Air 'Garratt then briefly recapitulated portions iof his first speech.He said that he had omit lted to speak about the land tax heretofore. iHe believed in a land tax in place of the 'property tax'; also, an income tax and an accumulative income tax. They should try . to raise the revenue in the easiest manner. He believed in taxing horses that were kept purely for luxurious "purposes. (A voice: " What about Tommy Spurgcon's horses ? : Another voice : " Would you tax Connell s .ware?" Laughter.) He favoured the \ ii lage Settlement scheme* as it tended to ' wards land nationalisation. Ho ob jected to give freeholds to the people because that was giving away the property of the nation at large. He was also in favour of the /Frisco mail service. He would also wish to pay more attention to the development of the mineral resources of the colony. Ho advised them all to read Mr Blair's new book dealing with this important matter. They should re lieved that by means of the Charitable; Aid Board the Government had been re lieved of a liability amounting to nearly £100,000. Auckland City alone contri buted £3,000 last year. The subsidies had also been ' reduced gradually. >He might promise them that if returned he lie would look after their interests. They would never find him figuring at the Go vernor's balls. Other candidates had neg lected to speak about the Threats and Molestations Bill. He strongly con demned the men who tried to cur tail the liberties of Her Majesty's subjects in such an iniquitous manner. It was neces sary that they should find out who had sup ported that measure. He was a protectionist, tout not a rabid one. He thoroughly believed in retrenchment and abolition of sinecures. He had found that an educated loafer was the worst of all. He thought the Speaker of the House, no matter how classical his education and how finished his language, was piid much too highly. He favoured the reduction of the Governor's salary. The garden in Wellington cost itself L3OO per annum to keep it in order. He thought they might also sell the Hinemoa and Stella, and attend to the lighthouses by contract. (A voice : " How could Mr Tole keep up his dignity without the Hinemoa?") He had not mentioned Mr Tole's name; he was speaking on the broad question. (Applause.) He thought they ought to do away with the honorarium of the Legislative Council, and reduce the number of members to 30. It also ought not to be considered as a sort of consolation stakes for defeated candidates— a kind of pension for life. He would now deal with Sir William Fitzherbert, the Speaker of the Upper House. That gentle »nan received £325 per annum as a pension, and £210 per annum as honorarium. At present that gentleman was away on a visit to England, but his pension still went on. He would now r-afar to another name that must ever be remembered by all the working men of the colony. He meant Dr. Pollen. (Cries of "Oh !Oh :" and "Soapy Dan.") That gentleman was now receiving £418 15s as a pension, and £210 honorarium. What in the name of conscience had Dr. Pollen done to deserve that money ? And yet he wanted more. In fact, it was Mr Moss's casting vote that stopped him jget tin git. (Applause.) Mv Garratt then devoted some time to reading extracts from a Parliamentary Blue Book to show the waste of money at Wellington. He would like to see the jobbery and rob bery put an end to. If returned, ho would try to expose and do away with such abuses. He thought that the Defence De partment might be worked equally well at a greatly-reduced expenditure. At present it cost £82,927, exclusive of the police force. He would do away with a lot of the useless showy popinjays, whose greatest work was to go down and draw their cheques. He believed in free, secular, and compulsory education. (Applause.) At the same time a reduction might be made withoub, impairing the system. ' At present the annual cost of primary edu cation was £305,508 17s 3d, and the Becondary education cost nearly half a mil lion. That was an expense that the country could no longer stand. He warned them against the danger of allowing more of their education, reserves to be absorbed for the purposes of secondary education. He also found that £236 17s 7d had been expended 5n carrying members' wives to and from "Wellington. ■ In answer to questions, Mr Garratt said : —(1) He would not vote for female suffrage. (2) He was not supporting the enemies of the working men by splitting' the Votes of Mr Tole. He hoped that when he finished the election his hands would at any rate be clean. He had a right to contest the seat. The truth was that the Hon. Mr Tole was so afraid that with all his honour and glory he trembled in bis shoes. (Immense applause, arid a voice: "Oh he'll bo toled out this time." " Tole's neyer done anything good for the country yet.") (3) He acknowledged no political leader at the present moment, but he looked upon Sir George Grey as the lead- Ing politician of the country. He would support any good reforming Government. (4) If elected he would not give hie honora rium to a charity, but to his own children. He would be willing to reduce by LSO. (5) He would not encourage speculative usurers, but he would give security for capital brought into the country. (6) He did not think that the services of Major ' General Whitmore were required by the Country. (7) He was not a Blue Ribbon 'candidate. (A voice : "You can tell that hy his nose.") (8) He would favour taxing foreign institutions doing business in the cdldiiy. That would be done by a protec tive tariff.

, On the motion of Mr Holloway, seconded toy Mr Porter, a vote of thanks and confi dence was accoi'ded to Mr Garratt, after jvhich the meeting terminated.

Racing Club for Waikato

(BY TELEGRAPH. - OWN COKEESPOSDENT.)

Hamilton, this day

On' Tuesday evening a meeting of those interested in forming a racing club in Waikato was held in Barton's Commercial Hotel, at which a large number were present. It was unanimously resolved that the name of the new club should be " The South Auckland Racing Club," that mem bers' subscription for the first year should be fixed at a guinea, that the rules of the A. 11.0: should be adopted.and that the first meeting under the auspices of the new club should be held on the Claudelands Racecourse, at Hamilton, on Thursday, December 29, when over £300 will be distributed in stakes. The meeting was most enthusiastic throughout, and the Chairman (Mr George Edgecumbe) stated that it gave him great pleasure to see the manner in which representatives from all parts of the Waikato had come forward to give the now. Club a start. The syndicate who have already purchased the land offered it to the Club for the first year free, and if at any future time they should decide upon taking it over, they would be quite willing to hand it over upon tho same terms as they got it. Mr McLernon notified his intention of giving the Club a silver cup. and Mr L. Smith, of the Royal, promised to lend the committee a helping, hand in the erection of a grand stand free of charge. Mr J. W. Barton was. elected secretary pro km. Upwards of sixty have already signified their intention of becoming members. The new racecourse adjoins the railway station, and is in every way admirably adapted for the purpose.

THAMES NOTES.

(BY TKIiEGItAPH ■■ OAV.N" COREESrONDENT.)

Thames, this day. AN' agitation is being revived for the pur chase of the freehold of Block 27 by Go. vernment. As the matter was settled by a Commission about two years ago, it is un likely that anything will come of tho matter. At a meeting of the Charitable Aid Board an opinion was expressed thut the tobacco supplied to tho inmates of the Old Men's Home should be discontinued, but was not supported. There arc 13 inmates, the cost being 7s Gd per Aveek. Tho matter was re ferred to a committee, it being considered that the money for this purpose should be subscribed Voluntarily, and not paid out of the ordinary reA-enue.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Hospital Management.

(To the Editor.)

Sik,—Your editorial of August 10th is based on information utterly unsupported by fact. It is not true that in all, or any, of tho leading hospitals in England - and, I may add, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, France or America—is tho House Surgeon personally responsible to the Board for cither the medical results or the cost of ad ininistration. In none of these institutions does the House Surgeon interfere with the treatment of the cases unless an emer gency arisftW'noi' does he allot patients or wards 'tP;- an honorary staff. . I had the opportunity last evening of in quiring of seventeen members of the medical profession in Auckland if they had ever heard of anything approaching what you have asserted on "the best authority.' The re sult was an unanimous "no." These gentlemen represented almost every school and hospital in Great Britain, and some had extended continental hospital experience in addition. I will state without fear of challenge that such a system does not obtain in any general hospital in civilised countries. The duties of a House Surgeon as understood universally consist in tho reception and immediate treatment of new patients, in the treat ment of emergencies arising in the institu tion. But when the emergency is a serious one, he is bound to communicate with the hou. surgeon or physician, unless life is im mediately threatened, under which circum. stances lie must act on his own responsi bility until the hon. medical officer arrives. Then the House Surgeon inure liately resigns control. He is also partly responsible for the discipline of the wards, etc., and entirely res ponsible for the carrying out of the directions of the honorary staff. The general adminis tration of supplies devolves on the House Steward. Every medical man anxious to excel in his profession seeks a House surgeoncy prior to entering on practice He has for the first time in his career a certain amount of responsibility, but can always fall back on the greater experience of his seniors on the honorary staff. He gains confidence, and is by-and-byo able to start in practice and rely on his own resources. The honorary staff are seleoted from, the best men obtain able in the profession. In very large institutions the surgeons and physicians adopt specialities, but no man is eligible for the higher position until he has proved him self fit to hold it. If, according to the views expressed in your article, the weak point in the present system is that each " visiting medico " considers his authority absolute ovar the patients in his charge, a fortiori it would be objectionable that one man should have the entire charge. Were all six to interfere with each individual case, your simile of the ship Avith half-a dozen captains would indeed apply, and the objection hold good. Since the present House Surgeon has been appointed, an appointment made with the full approval of the ptaff, not the slightest friction has taken place, and I assert that the Hospital has never, been more efficient. The Board have necessarily but a very limited know ledge of Hospital management and would do wisely to obtain more extended informa tion before inaugurating so complete a change. — I am, &c., C. H. Haines, M. D.

[It is a rather singular fact—and certainly one ■confirming our correspondent's remaik that more information is wanted on the subject—that out of seventeen Auckland medical men ' not one seems to have been aware that the system of ." station hospitals" was brought into force throughout the Imperial service about 12yearsago, inconsequence of the evils that arose through the old hospital system of- divided responsibility. Under the old system, every regimental doctor came into the hospital and treated his own patients. This was found to be so unsatisfactory that the present system was adopted, under which the medical officer in charge is made solely responsible for the medical and administrative services of the institu tion. This system has given such excellent results that it has now been ex tended to India and all military and naval stations. As an example of the working of this system in a modified form in a private general hospital with honorary medical staff under control of a Board, we may mention St. Bar tholomew's Hospital, Rochester. We are decidedly of opinion that the Board need feel no apprehension as to theresultsof a system that is so clearly based on sound business principles Tl^ conduct a large

trous results than the coritinu alsquabblings that have occurred from If the Visiting Staff preierred ™jg*sgg of their cases by the chance aid* «dg« sis aLftfonfy gives each patient J one-jnan treatment, because one memb bl o tl c Visiting Staff would not d"gv^g feringwith another's case, Houso Surgeon has venture* to -do ,>o m the past there has been trouble.-hJ). l^.b.j

(To the Editor.) SIR,-As the primary consideration' in the establishment of hojpifcfc #^ eB IS fort and cure of the sick, it bel*veß.^o public to see that the besbmcanß arable or obtaining these results areP^ed, antf in order to Attain so desirably an md the Hospital and Charitable Aid Board Jias, at length decided to introduce^ "«bfe as tern into the management rf the &$&&. by appointing a House Surg fc vu>,who will bo solely responsible for the mawgementof that establishment, in place of the ; unsafe* factory system Of mixed control .Wd supu vision' at present in vogue. The salary offered, LSOO per *™$3 with residence, will, no doubt, obtain w* services of a gentleman well quahneu pt °- fessionally ; bub he should also possess setae administrative ability.and tact to overcon* any obstacles which may be offered in con sequence of the introduction of a new sys tem. The appointment of a House Surgeon having the sole medical charge of the Hos pital, and not carrying on private practice as well, is a step in the right direction, and will doubtless lead to greater economy in its management, as well as add to the general comfort of the patients, and should therefore meet with public support. The gentleman appointed should have lull authority in die Hospital, and bo held re sponsible to the Board for the proper use and expenditure of medicines, provisions, &c, as well as to the curtailment of the general expenses of the Hospital. Under the new system, it will be much more pleasant than heretofore for the honorary visiting medical staff to perform their voluntary duties, an they will be act ing in concert with a senior professional gentleman, probably possessed of high pro fessional skill, and with whom they can consult with more cordiality than with a junior, as well as to the fact that they will be relieved from all anxiety as to manage i tnent, etc. • Under the proposed scheme it will be possible to introduce n System for the train ing of nurse 3at the Hospital, foi, with a permanent head to the establishment, classes could from time to time bo formed for that purpose, who would not only obtain the practical training in the wards, but would also receive (from the House Surgeon or assistant) that theoretical instruction which is so need ful before a nuree can be pronounced as qualified or efficient. The welfare and comfort of the patients will also be greatly improved by the appointment of a per manent official of high standing, having Hole charge of the Hospital, and to whom any complaints as to treatment would or could be made, and by him at onco be inquired into. Under these circumstances the ratepayers and the public at larjje are to bo congratu lated on the decision of the Hospital Board to inaugurate a new system ; and it is to be hoped that the gentleman selected to fill the important position of House Surgeon will use his best endeavours to render the change popular and efficient. —Yours truly, Incognito

Coming Football Matches.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, - In view of the approaching football matches with Canterbury and Otago, the attention of the Committee of the Auckland Rugby Union ought to bo called to tho advisability of taking more efliuicjit means to promote the comfort of those patrons of the game who pay for admission to the ground. On the occasion of the late Taranaki match scores of larrikins were allowed to scale the walls and avoid pay ment. On making their appearance on the field these non-paying gentry at once begin to elbow and jostle their way to the front row of spectators, to the annoyance of those who havo already paid for admisson. The prevalence of the larrikin element at representative matches has become a crying nuisance, and the com mittee," in their own interests, ought to make an example of one or two of these un desirable patrons. The single strand of fencing wire erected round the field of play is quite insufficient to resist the pressure of the crowd. At most of the representative matches last season the barrier generally gave Avay at one or more points. Were several strands of wire employed instead of One, and the barrier made sufficiently strong, every spectator would have an equal chance of seeing the match, and the players would not be hampered by spectators encroaching on the ground.—l am, etc., J.W.S.

The Protective Reaction in England.

(To tho Editor.)

Sir,- Before the subject of free trade and her step-daughter fair trade become finally relegated to a back seat in your columns, \vill you kindly allow me to draw attention to.the somewhat significant fact that Eng land having been the champion of the forma 1 during the past forty years, appears at last to be waking up to the fact that although it is a very beautiful subject in theory, in actual practice one may have top much of a good thing1, and to judge from the contents of the London newspapers, she seems to be manoeuvring back, via the shifting sands of the softer-sounding fair trade, upon her old position of protection. If one examines the reports which are con tained in London newspapers, such as the " Times," " Standard,"and "Daily News," it would seem about time that she did something of this kind, if she is to keep any portion of the trade of the world at large, beyond acting, as it were, the part of its banker. If at this present time you go through the manufacturing departments at Home,from locomotives and rails down to steel pens in the hardware line from a silk dress down to a bootlace in the millinery department, again down to a jug and basin or a wineglass among the crockeries—you will find Borsig Berlin upon the locomotive flashing the express composed of Pnllman cars down to Brighton upon rails imported from Belgium. If ib be a silk dress your wife wishes to purchase, you will note that Messrs Mantle have just received their carefully selected stock in all the newest styles from Paris, Lyons, or St. Efctiehne. If you -want crockery, here is the newest thing from Buntzlaw, or if a mirror, here are some just arrived from Bohemia, and so on through the ■whole list of personal requirements. On the other hand, if yon travel about muclv at Home, what do you find iv. the manufac turing districts, but mills of all kinds as well as potteries and glass-blowing works, either closed or only xuriting half time; whilst so important an article of daily cou sumptioii as sugar is sent in large quanti ties, cut up ready for the cup, from so distant a place even as Kiew in South Russia, and. sold in London at prices which actually shut up the English refineries, and so cast hundreds of men out of work, either upon the streets, or into the last refuge of the destitute, the ■workhouse.; If you go the

Avorld round, could you find another country broug'hfc to so miserable a pass as this ? I heliWe not, but it is the result, pure ana simple, of this delightful free trade. Inat is one side of the picture. On the reverse Aye haive America. She protects her manu fatstu :es, and has in consequence made her self absolutely prosperous in spite of the Civil War, whilst her funds stand as high as (h> consols-'. Coming to Europe, both Germany and Austria belong to the Zoll- Verein "and prosper, whilst Russia levies duties- upon articles of foreign manufacture, Avhich practically close her ports to them .entirely, though she compensates herself in a nWfciurte for the Avant of them by occasion | ally (;opyaag foreign trade marks upon some j kinds of goods, such as cutlery, selling I them as English make. I proved this, CO my own dissatisfaction, in one of the multitude of shops situated round the walls of 'the Kremlin Palace in Moscoav. With regard to the state of her finances, little is tot be said, but that they are very largely hefld in England, and thia is perhaps theVeason. that they do nob take the place (which the a'oublo now represents. I n&ve, however, fa-ansgre.ssed the IaAV of brevity, and beg to apologise for the length of this i letter. My object has been to attempt to .show, in a crude Avay, Avhat England has lost by free tra.de, in the hope that this, and i with all 'respect be it said, comparatively young country Ayill not be led away by free traders to sacrifice a future prosperity, .which is an absolute certainty, to tlic dream from Avhich at home there is so sad an awakening. — Yours. &c, Eui Ahmer Reisen»uk.
