We shall never get pure government or any other reform in New Zealand until there is less timidity and trimming with a view to vote-catching on the part of our representatives.—Christchurch Press.

For an institution rescued from such a desperate situation as the Bank of New Zealand was in, it does seem somewhat incongruous, not to say unseemly, that it should seek to declare dividends with all the weight of responsibility that still rests upon its shoulders. —Grey Argus. While we do not broadly suggest a conviction that a foul-tongued people i s springing up to claim charge of the d es . tinies of this country, we are firmly of the conviction that manifestation of the finer details of menticulture will be a felt want among the masses in the near future.— Mataura Ensign. Mr Seddon uses a good many specious arguments, and says a good many things which are either untrue or half true ; and his speech in reply to Mr Hutcheson, defending the prevailing military spirit of New Zealand, bristles with wild, vague, bombastic, andutterly weaning platitudes. —Wairarapa Times. It is an open question whether many of the “disputes” brought before the Conciliation Boards are not ill advised.

Bad coughs and colds must then prevail, We’ll try to make them fewer, And take a dose of never fail— Some Woona’s Great Peppermint Cure.
