The Hebburn (N.S.W.) colliery owners Wanted to reduce the hewing rates, but the miners refused to accept the reduction, Consequently about 360 mine employees are 11 strikers,” who contend that no reduction in the rates of pay should take place without being referred first to the Arbitration Court, are acting against the advice of the district organisation, and probably will not receive strike pay. A ship’s fh'omuu on the steamer Buchia who had been engaged in Australia, was injured on tho vessel while she was lying at Liverpool Docks, England. Ho sued -the owners for compensation under the British Workmen’s Compensation Act, but th 9 case was adjourned ponding the judgment of the House of Lords on another case of a similar nature. Judge Rentoul, in adjourning the case, ordered the defendants to pay the iplaintiff 15s a week, the same not to be returnable even if the plaintiff ultimately lost his action. Where in 1890 a sum of £8,122,000 sufficed for the government of London, tho cost this year has risen to £14,877,000 although the population during the same period has only increased by 300,000. There are, several .’causes contributing towards this unenviable state of affairs, some of which may be briefly stated. They are : (1) Tho. migration of population into towns ; (2) the growth of public taste ; (3) the multiplication of social laws ; (4) the breakdown of local self-government ; (5) the incompetence of those elected to serve on local governing bodies ; (6) the increasing power of officialdom, and (7) the fatal facilities for borrowing-London, with a population of 4,450,000, supports 136,000 paupers, while the wholo of Lancashire, with nearly the same population, has only 95,000 paupers. Those who have studied the position, declare that “ if London were'in position to'spread her population over an’area as large as Lancashire, she would have 40,000 fewer paupers on hor books, and would save £750,000 per annum in maintenance, assuming that her policy of administration was as strict l as that of Lancashire.

[ Justice is done to the poor as well as the rich in British law. That's why an Australian-bank manager, who embezzled funds,'was let off on promising to bo of good behavior, and a wbarf-laborer, who has stolen three-penny-worth of potatoes, got a month’s - " hard.” Both cases were heard in the one day.—Lance. A quaint view of the Government’s rea son for its patent medicine attitude is taktn by a writer on the other jsido. Ho is of opinion that the State desires to kill the private proprietary so that it may set up a Stete pillery, and corner tho whole drug business.—Lance.

Mr W. C. King, Babbit Inspector, is in Wairoa, having returned from a visit to Tarawera, Ngatapa, l'e Huroto, and all round the Upper Mobeka district. He found rabbits and indications at Ngatapa and at the back of Te Haroto. He also commenced to look at the site for a rabbit fence to run from the Mohaka river to MauDgataniwha, but owing to the severe weather he had to discontinue operations for the present. He had very exciting experiences throughout tho trip, and was nearly drowned in the Mohaka river. !
