Manamatu Herald. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1890. The Victory.

Wk congratulate our readers on Mr Wilson's victory on Friday. We have steadfastly maintained Mr | Wilson's superior recommendations for the position, as compared with those who were opposing him, and the majority of the electors were with us. In spite of bad health, which necessitated Mr Wilson having to postpone speaking until very late in the day, and which also interfered with his making any personal canvas, he polled very well. Mr Wilson's popularity cannot be doubted, raid we may fairly claim that nearly every vote Mr Stevens obtained, would, had that gentleman not stood, have been recorded in Mr Wilson's favour. We look upon the result as wry satisfactory, and we trust that the usual irritations connected with. an election contest may soon be laid at rest, and that we may all, with united power, work to secure the advancement of this district and colony.

Tlie supporters of Mr Wilson will gladly admit the excellent committee that existed in Foxtoii in his favour, and will recognise the inllaKniiiK' industry which Mr J. R. McMillan showed in the cause. We consider that this (own polled better than any » other purl "f I lir* <• eclonite for Mr Wilson.

A horse has been impounded from off the roads. The Borough Council is having the Main ,->treej put in good order. The " Eclipse " mill has; been closed sonic little time, and the plant is now in course of removal. Another bridge is reported unsafe for heavy trailie. The liaugitikei (Jouuty Council notilies the public against taking heavy weights over the nangilikei bridge at Bulls. Not many people availed '.Vmselves of the Sunday special train, It bore the impression of being 100 much like '• Dillr dilly dnck, come and be killed." The train was run to take people to the opening of the New Hoinan Catholic Church, where a collection would be made. Wo regret an error that crept into our ligures of the numbers obtained by the three candidates at Foxton, Mr Pirani only scored 7'J not 97 as mentioned. The figures had just been transposed. Wo trust we can all laugh at the past, i and it, is therefore only in good part that we reproduce a sentence in a letter signed by Messrs Cook, McClosky, Murray, and (xerbes, to the iUanawatu Thnns last week. This letter was presumably written by them to explain the conduct of Mr Mackie, but as some years have now passed and gone since they were at school, we fear someone else had a -'linger in the pie.'' The sentence is—" The interview was of the most friendly and cordial nature, and he signed his name. to the letter /irupi'lo iimtull'. Did he really ? The Salvation Army's coffee supper on Saturday evening was not so successful as was anticipated. Doubtless the restlessness caused by the elections was the chief cause. There is a rumour that Mr Chinnorv's j late visit to Foxton was to acquire possession of a large area of flax. A stripper-keeper is wanted at the Herrington mill. The result of the Waitotara e'ection is that Mr G. Hutchinson is returned by a majority of 22 votes over Mr Bruce. The Advocate reports the playful conduct of some disappointed ones at Marlon. They carried an eih'gy of Mr Kirkhride about with hoots and groans, and eventually burnt it. The delay in getting in the Kangitikei returns seems to have arisen from the horse of Deputy-Returning Officer at Pemberton having got away, and his having had to walk a considerable distance. He got to Feilding at 11 o'clock on Saturday morning. A great billiard feat is reported from London, under date of November 7th. The despatch says:— "When playing a match at billiards at the Westminister Aquarium yesterday, Mr W. J. Peall made a break of 3,304." Previous to that the record was 2413, made also by Peall at the Royal Aquarium. In a match against W. V, itchell he manipulated the large break of 1989 in two hours 27mius on the 19 M >y, 1884. His break included 548 spot strokes. The Adcufdte says Mr C. H. Tomlinson secretary to the Sandon Special Settlement Block Association, was yesterday (Wednesday) committed to take his trial at the Supreme Court, at Wanganui, on the charge preferred against him, bail being allowed in two securities of £50 each, and in his own recognisance of £100. Mr Meyer, of Mount View to-day went bail for C. H. Tomlinson. In his new book " Problems of Greater Britain '" Sir Clias Dilke, one of the leading liberal statesmen of the world, says of the Premier: — "Sir Harry Atkinson is a plain straightforward able man, who was a good soldier in the native war, an honest, energetic, experienced, and trusted politician, a capable speaker, a good representative of the practical upright portion of the English people, and a man of resolute will and unflinching courage. He is now becoming as considerab'e a personag-" 1 in New Zealand by force of character, us is Sir H. Parkes himself in Ne.v South Wales." The Mayor of Rojkjobbing, Denmark, personal 'y arrested the Captain of the Salvation Army there for keeping on a meeting after f) p.m. The inhabitants of the town were indignant, and would not disperse until a definite promise had been given that the Captain should be released A telephone experiment recently took place at Christ Church, Birmingham, England, to ascertain if the services could be transmitted to a ' number of persons at houses or offices. More than a hundred connections were obtained, and the experiment proved a great success. A London Judge, Sir William Charley, recently preached in the open air in the centre of the city, in the ancient churchyard at Botolph, Aldersgate, to about a thousand brewers and workmen. The attention paid to Sir William Charley's address was unexceptional. In Africa some 700 languages are spoken ; the great negro family, living mostly in the Southern Soudan and around the Gulf of Guinea, speaks 195 languages and 49 dia - locts The Soudan is a great belt stretching 3500 miles across the continent with between and 90 millions of people. At Geelong, Victoria, at the end of last year, 17 out of 35 public houses were closed. The cases of drunkenness before the Magistrates during the six months, January 1 to June 30, 1890, showed a reduction from those of the corresponding period of 1889, at about 37 i«?r cent. The Mormons have come out with a new profession of faith, the result of a conference of elders which has lasted several weeks. This declaration says "We believe in God the Father, in Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost ; that men will be punished for their own sins, not for those of Adam, that mankind may be saved through Christ, and obedience to : the laws and ordianees which appertain to the faith in Christ and through repentance ; in baptism by immersion and laying on of hands. We believe in the same organisation as that of the Primitive Church— namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, and evangelists. Wo believe in the gift of tongues, in prophecy, revelations, visions, and healing. We believe the Bible to be the word of God, ro far as it is translated correctly, and also that the book Mormon is the word of God. We believe all God has revea'ed and is now revealing, and we be'ieve that He will yet reveal, many important things^ regarding the Kingdom of God. We believe "in the liberal gathering of Israel, in the restoration of the Ten Tribes, and thnt Zion will be built on this continent. Article 12 of the declaration abandons the system of po'ygamy.
