Sir Eobert Stout is thoroughly a lady's man. He was eleoted, so he says, by the ladies, and now he says that " in no other election had such a Kindly feeling been shown amongst candidates as on this occa won. That was one vesult of women's franchise !" The Foxtoiv booth polled by far thp largest number of vote? in the Otaki e'ectorate, 415 votes being recorded, with only two informal. This is very suggestive as to the capacity of the electors. The next largest number polled was at Otaki, 309 ; Upper Hutt came next with 273 ; then Sanßon with 2ss, and then Levin with 152. Campbelltown scored 139. In a subleader in Tuesday's Post, prior to the result of the election being known it was shown that •' throughout Mr Seddon has been behaving with the deepest treachery towards Sir Robert Stout and Mr Fraser. and doing .secretly all in his power to assist ;Mr Macdonald and Mr Yogel. All the influence of the Govern ment has been brought to bear in this direction, while the Premier has been fooling the Liberal and Labour organisation with fair promises." The result fully justifies the accusation. Tho Manawatu Times says a local resident has marked oause to remember the Workmen's Wag^s and Truck Acts— having just been compelled to pay £35 over and above a contract price for sums which he had paid for stores used by the workmen. As considerable doubt prevails amongst, the legal profession in Wellington as to whether or not an office of the Supreme Court has been opened at. Wanganui, it may be stated that an office was opened some weeks ago, Mr District Judge Kettle being appoin'ed Registrar, and Mr A. D. Thompson, Deputy Registrar. The opening of this office necessitates defences to writs issued against persons residing in Pa'meraton North being filed in Wanganui instead of in Wellington as heretofore.— Times.

Park has been elected Mayor of Palmerston, polling 232 votes ; Wood, 178; Edwards, 88; Abrahams, 24.

The police party in Western Australia have discovered a magnificent pastdral country in the Vicinity of the Osmond Hiver. It is well grassed, timbered, and watered.
