A Globe-Trotter Speaks.
Mr Villiers, the war correspondent, lectured in New Zealand lately, and a newspaper man has been asking him what he thought of New Zealand. He says we are charming people, Cut not so happy as when he saw us 16 years ago. He considers woman's franchise a mistake, and thinks an unpaid Parliament wonld be best. Every globe-trotter who passes through the colony delights to entertain bi# friends with bis
views, ah'd talks with ari assurance that is amusing. Villiers picked tip his information very likely at some club, for we notice that he is of the opinion that the clause in the Liquor Bill dealing with the closing of clubs at the same time as hotels* as "an unwarrantable interference with the liberty of the subject. Thus the high and mighty Villiers discourses, and his frothy sayings are telegraphed all over the latid. Villiers should stick to his war lectures. We are thankful to be told that we are " a cbarming people," and if we were not so happy looking as when he saw us 16 years ago it was probably because he got more money out of us than we can squeeze out of each other.
