The Daily Telegraph. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1884.

Time after time in these columns have wo I urged upon the settlers the necessity of varying the industries of our province. Our land Is fertile, our export' trade is equal , to anything the world can show, but then it is all summed up in one word —wool.; Now we sax at once that is bad, we arc placing too many eggs in ' the one' basket. "Wo have-magnificent country on which, we ; raise and fatten high class sheep, but a deal of that land could be put to better use, could be utilised to give to the owners a very much better return than it possibly can from wool growing. We lack variety in our products, there is a sameness about all our industries that wo would like to sco Altered. That the land is capable of pro-., ducing:'much that we now import, goes without saying. Mr Tanner has shown 1 that' hops can be profitably cultivated, That has been, demonstrated beyond the experimental stage, for the enterprising colonist has gone" in for a larger acreage on which to grow hops. "While with good harbor, accommodation, of which we wrote yesterday, heavy bulk crops might be profitably handled] : while that harbor is being made, we would•do well to cultivate those crops and those . industries, which will give a large return in" money without occupying much, bulk. Such crops for export should be encouraged. .But while we do all we can in aiding the development of those" industries, we should see to it, - that all our wants that we can supply locally should be so supplied. Therein, wo believe, lies the secret of the-prosperity of the", oolony of Victoria. Protection has acted as an incubus on tliu-t colony, but still the protectionist journals can point to its prosperity, and it is difficult to convince"them," that not only, is that prosperity not due to protection, but is there in spite of - protection. H;id free trade been the rule in that colony ii would'have been developed at a faster - rate, manufactures have been pushed- ahead,- its natural resources have'been' developed-in every way possible,-, and to , that we m;ty add, thanks to free trade in the other colonies, it has been enabled to supply thoso colonies with much that they should have grown themselves. Victoria exports to the other colonies largely butter, cheese, potatoes, onions, fruit, bacon, &c, Jill of wMclvcould be grown by its neighbors, but they having very much larger territories, have negleolcd small things, and small things and littlo industries are a for surer road to prosperity than by engaging in gigantic enterprises and companies for tho growing of wool and the raising of cattle, just as mixed farming in tho long run is bound to beat the continual raising of one crop./ Now from that colony we can tako a lesson. Wheat raising for export in New Zealand should be a - thing of the past. America can put in millions of ncrus in wheat and take oft' the crop for 30s an acre, so that a yield of ten bushels—the average of the States—has been found to pay. In Victoria tho Age has been supplied with figures which go lo prove the same thing can be done there, while in South Australia in'/tlio far north farmers assert with an crop of six bushels to the acre, and at 3s (id per bushel at the port, the crop can beranilo to pay tho -farmer. That is impossible in this colony becauso of the difference in value of land, so that wo have no outlet in that direction, , and no hope of being able to compete successfully for an export trade with tho Australian colonies, even if,'the wheat wo raised was equal ' t .to theirs, which it is not, but of all the other items we have named as Victorian exports, this colony ought to be able to hold its bwh. Now, in this province we do not supply our own wants, and certainly it is time wo did so, and the farmers who would devote their attention to each crops would be alms, at least, to secure the home market at prices .that; would provo remunerative. Cheere and butter cau .be .turned out of "better quality at a factory, not' to''mention cost, than any farmer single-handed could manage to do, hence we are delighted to see that factories are springing up or being organised for in bur midst. We" r wish them every success in the enterprise, and with proper management feel assured that they woiild not only pay the farmer .wellto. support them, and give a good return; to jtho investor for his money, but prove a general gain' to the whole community.. .That -there is a good local market is undoubted,, and the balance , to be exported .has an-unlinuted market ,in London able to. .absorb r nil that caii ' possibly be : sont, ,Qn bufcjpno condition—that the quality be of the highest. That is the one condition necessary to success. London alone;.taking;a.radius of fifteen miles, consumes yearly; butter and milk to tho amount of bixteen million pounds sterling. Holland,-' Denmark, :nid Belgium, for butter, cheese, and eggs, draw from England tens of millions yetiiiy. We can produce an articlo equal to the Danish butter, so all that is needed to secure a footing in that trade is organisation amongthe farmers in factories. The capital-l-o-quired is comparatively small, and the trade to be done has no restrictions, and we havo this much in our fayor—when the commodity is cheapest in tho home market it is highest in England,- and therefore it would tend to secure to farmers a more regular price all the year round,-and in-this w.iy they would always be sure of a profitable trade, which, without exporting, could not bo the case, and thus men going info dairying would have some _ security th.it their investment would be oh a sound and payable fooling. We wish the promoter of factories in our midst every aucoean, "uud only hope their enterprise will meet with its due reward, and bo the moans of starting many more factories in our midst.

The technicalities of.cricket are becoming alarming to the peace of reputable families, where their use is not familiar. The special description, for example, in the account of Gentlemen v.

Cricketing reporters should be cateful.

It may be of interest to state that the eloquent and popular lady evangelist (says the Ballarat Star), Mrs Hampson, is what matrons know as a family lady.

It was true the bankrupt need not apply for his discharge, but tho suspension of his discharge would bo a certain punishment.

Ihero is tremble in store for the much married monarch, when ho returns to the homo of his heart. Some vague rumours arc afloat to the effect that dissensions and disorder have crept into tho royal household during-tho temporary abyence of its patriarchal head.

Some of the larrikin element were last nMit doing their best to annoy the members attending ono of the churches in the town, by pushing one another in at the doors,' and, among those nuisances we regret'to .mention were several females. We may inform those who _ evidently know no better, that should their conduct be the means of bringing them before tho Besident Magistrate's Court, wo shall not by any means withhold their names from the columns of this paper, there will be as ■well the certainty of being severely dealt ■with by the Resident Magistrate.

" Dear me," grasped Mrs Knoawl, "here is a terrible item in the paper. My, how the poor man must have suffered?" "What is it?" asked her husband, coming to her side. " Why, one of these poor walking-match fallows swallowed a sponge !" " What, let me see." After carefully reading tho article Mr K. threw the paper down, growling:-— " You women ain't got a grain of sense ; it don't say he swallowed a sponge." I know it don't, in those exact words," answered the wife; then brightly continued, "but how could he throw up the sponge if ho didn't swallow it ?"— Atlanta Constitution.

In Wanganui the assistants in shops have held a meeting, at which a petition was drawn'up requesting their employers to concede them a weekly half-holiday. These holidays are becoming pretty general in colonial towns, but we hoar nothing of such a movement m Napier. Of course, certain classes have a half holiday on Saturday, but for obvious reasons Saturday is not a suitable day for retail businesses, and where the concession has been granted the day usually eelected is Wednesday or Thursday. A good joke anent the corpulent Colonial Treasurer was told us this morning by a

gentleman who has lately been spending a few days at the . scat of Government. It seems Sir Julius has a .smart little daughter of some eight summers, who reads the papers and retails any tit bits concerning " papa " ' to that rather obese and talented "'pcirti. Tho other morning she exclaimed, "Look hero, pa! I always knew you were rather fat; ■ 'but these nasty papers need not call

yon * the Stout-Vogcl Party,' need tlioy ?"

Truth says: Discussion sometimes arises now-a-days as to the precise value of the title " Esquire." It is generally agreed that it should.not, if possiblo, bo allowed to any gentleman worth, say, less than ten shi3.. lings a week, unless ho be an office-boy, or otherwise "professionally " engaged. It has however, been reserved for the Presto fix tho exact worth of the title. A journal published in the town of Burr/ham, a small but popular . resort: on tb.e Somersetshire coast, has the following note at the head of its " List of Visitors." « The word ' Esq' charged 3d prepaid."

A meeting of the provisional directors of the "Waipawa Independent and Newspaper Printing" Company, , was held in the Bechabito Hall.

*■ Mr Burne Jones (says the : Pall Mall Gazette) is busily engaged in the completion of his designs for the decoration of the apse of the American church at Rome. 'In the centre appears a seated Christ, the world in his left hand. Five archangels stand two on one side and three on the other, one niche being untenanted, to represent by his absence the fallen archangel. There is an angelic host above and beneath the rivers of the Revelation. They will be in Venetian mosaic, and cover some : 900 square feet. The design is said to be very striking. A young man named J3ertheaud, of good family, has been convicted at Moutbrison of murdering his grandfather with extraordinary premeditation. After having wasted a fortune which he had inherited from his mother, he 'concealed himself for several days in his grandfather's house, watching his opportunity, and was almost starved, though he stole a little food from the kitchen. He ultimately knocked' on the head his grandfather's housekeeper, an old woman, and killed his grandfather afterwards, taking away .the money he found in j the drawers. It was long before he was discovered. He was sentenced to death.

While the Freethinkers of Sydney were engaged in. feasting, and snowing their want of loyalty by intentionally leaving out the toast of'• The Queen," their brethren in Melbourne were not much behind hand in their aggressiveness. The annual meeting of the Lord's Day Observance Society was held on the 20th Octobers At the meeting, Mr Symoa who was specially sent to Australia by Mr Bradlaugh to rouse the free thinking cause in Australia insisted on speaking, and the result-was the gas was turned down, and the members ofrihe society brought their meeting , to a close,. Matches ,were struck and Mr Symes addresed his freethinking friends, and after a time candles were procured and lishted. The advocate of " freedom of speech" when interrupted himself, luickly had the aggressor turned out, such is tly freedom of speech that these blatant orators accord to their opponents. After a time the men who had engaged the hall, by the aid of the police got the assembly dispersed.

Last evening , one of the largest meetings ever held in the Brothers' school took place for the purpose of bidding adieu to the Rev. Father Cassidy, who has been transferred from this district to Taranaki. At 7.30 Father Grogan took the chair, and having stated tho object for which the meeting was convened, and also expressed his very great regret at the departure of Father Cassidy, who had endeared himself not only to him, but also to everyone of the congregation, requested Mr J. A. Rearden to read tho address from the Catholics of Napier to the Rev. Alexandor Cassidy, which expressed very feelingly the great regret felt by each of them at his departure from this congregation. -Having read the address Mr Rearden then presented his reverence with a pucse of sovereigns as a small token of the esteem, love, and gratitudo tTiey had for him who had labored so faithfully and zealously for them during his residence in Napier. In returning thanks for the beautiful address and kind present Father Cassidy said he would never forget the kind, loving, and generous souls he had met in Napier, and although separated from them he would constantly remember them in his prayers to the Almighty. Having given thorn his blessing , hn said although there may be good Catholics in Taranaki it would be impossible for them t:> be better than those in Napier.—The rev. gentleman took his departure for New Plymoath this morning.
