We have nothing to say against Mr Goyen, as we honestly* and conscientiously believe him to be a clever painstaking many and in everyway adanted for the position ho holdsiVvimS assuredly do look upon the syTtem m rentable humbug.

It leads the way in everything—that is in everything that is ridiculous. If there in anything absurd on this earth, Cromwell is bound to have it. Since it lost Jackson Barry and his Whale, it has been fishing about restlessly for something new to sustain its unenviable reputation for the nonsensioal. According to the “ Argus," the local cricketers are going to have a match of “unusual importance," which is being looked forward to with the “greatest interest, snd which is going to last two days right on end. There is to be no inter* val, not even for refreshments. « Wickets will he pitched at 12 noon on Fiiday, and will continue on till finished on Saturday.” The Cromwell organ does not say whether the electric light will be use I on the occasion, or whether the moon solely is to he railed on.
