TE KUITI DEBATINC SOCIETY.
The usual meeting of the Te Kuiti Debating Society was held in the; Municipal Hall on Thursday evening. Maor Lusk presided and there was a good attendance of members. A debate on the question of whether Industrial Unionism had been to the benefit of the community of New Zealand was held. Mr F. Langstone took the arffimative, and Mr A. E. Robinson the negative, and the various points for and against were keenly debated. In addition to the principals Messrs Turner, Young, and Thompson, and the Rev. Mr Griffiths spoke in favour, and Messrs Martin and Graham agaiiißt unionism, but the majority favoured the affirmative.
Next Thursday evening the usual Parliamentary sitting will be held when the long-promised Native Land Bill will be introduced. A week later the already celebrated breach of promise action will come up for hearing, and the appetite of the public for sensational details will be more than satisfied. An application haß been made to have the case heard with closed doors, but it is understood the judge prefers to leave it to the good taste of the puolic to refrain from hearing matters _ which are rarely given the white light of publicity.
