A Dunedin woman borrowed a shawl from her next door neighbor ; she pawned it for five shillings, then she visited another pawn shop where she got a pair of blankets, on the weekly payment system, paying a first instalment of five shillings. Then, she went hack to the first shop, pawned the ; pair of blankets for 19s, released the . shawl, and went to Mosgiel for a day , with the Its she still had left. —Dunedin Liberal. 11 A wonderful instance of patriotism.” That’s what the Times calls Premier Seddon’s sending 1000 more New Zealanders to he shot at by the Boers while he stays at home - and waits for a tin star with a blue ribbon to it.—Sydney Truth. New Zealand Herald on the ’Frisco service “We have been insulting, parsimonious, unreasonable, hypocritical—and have talked all the time of the dictatorial attitude of Mr Spreckles. It is time we changed this, not for fear hut For the sake of our own self-respect, not for commercial gain hut for our national dignity. Only, if we can be influenced by nothing hut fear of loss or greed for gain tiiose influences may well be considered. For if we allow ourselves to he once “ side-tracked ” by the ocean routes it will take us long arid cost as much to recover our present unique position as the nearest to the United Kingdom of all the Pacific colonies.” No bigger blunder was ever made than the co-operative levelling down and ot joloidiua ire po[[oduioo qeqt equal wages to an efficient and an inefficient workman ; and such law cannot remain very long on the statute books of this or an) other country.— Tapanui Courier.

Conscription for a nation that doesn’t play cricket or football, and which is physically weak, is absolutely necessary in order to procure soldiers at the point of the bayonet. But for a

nation whose men arc, by very reason of their striving to excel in sport, anxious to excel in the game of war, conscription robs patriotism of its fervour. It also makes war a trade, and tends to degrade tiie citizen by converting him into a kind of military marionette.—Free Lance.

if, by aby possibility, the British officers hand their trappings, their kitchen ranges, their pianos, and billiard tables over to the Boers, and get them

to use them as they have done, the war will soon he over.—Wailii Daily Telegraph. Oh ! Oh ! The tender of Mr F. Me Parland has been accepted for catering lor the Eighth Contingent while in camp at Trentha.ni. Mr McFarland was tiie caterer at the Newtown camp during the Royal visit. He is a strong Government supporter, as all success-

ful men should he.—Palmerston Standard.

It is quite a common thing for men to go to a pub at half-past ten on Saturday night and stay till twelve without having a drink. What they go there for is to see who is going to preach next day, and for that purpose the landlord cuts the advertisement out of the papers, and keeps the list in his pocket-book.— Manawatu Farmer

It is about time that the method of appointing Governors was abrogated in favor of an elected Governor.— Palmerston Standard. “ The Sun ” calls the “ Journal ” an Anarchist and a ruffian, and the “ Journal ” calls the “ Sun ” a blackguard and a mercenary hireling. It is not polite in either of them, but it is better than telling lies about each other—Boston Pilot. And what will be the position of labor in this colony next winter, when the bulk of the contingents will, in all probability, have returned, should private employment fall off, and the present stringency as regards loan money continue ?—Christchurch Press. The fact of the matter is that Premier Seddon is in a tight corner ; his surpluses are bogus, the exchequer is badlv lined, and the borrowed million more than mortgaged ! Yet he prates and preaches that “ we had better go slow.”—lnglewood Record. The Government has not fulfilled all its promises with regard to the encouragement of rifle shooting. We have heard nothing of late of the rifle clubs which were to be established to enable civilians living some distance from volunteer centres to obtain shooting practice cheaply. —Christchurch Times.

“Jactitia” writing to the New Zealand Herald on the subject of political control says. “Up to this your friends the capitalists have ruled tho roost. They have controlled the Legislature and the judiciary in the past, and the working classes have had to submit to the most criminal injustices. In New Zealand the producers of wealth —the workers —the men who should have the power, are now on top. I, for one, rejoice in the knowledge that they will not be displaced. How have they treated the drones of capitalism ? They have allowed their disputes to be submitted to arbitration. Did your friends the capitalists, when they were in power, ever offer to the workers the privilege of arbitration ? No, they did not. They used the iron heel of capitalistic despotism to crush the working classes down to absolute slavery. But you, sir, cap all your arguments against the workers having any political influence when you state: “In the mining case there is no question, from tho evidence given and from the statements made in the judgment, that the prime factor in the decision was the fact that if the judgment had been in accordance with the demands of the Miners’ Union there would have been a large withdrawal of Engish capital from the industry, and tho miners and the country would have suffered very greatly. You cry out against the political influence of the labor unions, and then, with a still more lusty voice, you cry out for the restoration of political influence to the drones of society—the capitalists.” See our Magnificent Display of Photo Frames, Albums, Cruets, Biscuit Barrels, Butter Dishes, Purses, Brush Sets, and scores of useful and dainty articles, direct from London. —0.
