The latest cablegrams begin a new story, different a great deal from the " menacing concert "' of the other Great Powers. The labour of British Statesman is beginning to tell and though there has been bur little talk there has evidently been a great deal of work done. Th. Maiquis of (Salisbury has s-huwn th_ world (hut if there in fighting to b< done England will be prepared. A new flying squadron being com missioned and returning troops stopped at the Cape is a practical reply to the wordy communications of the other Powers. Work at Portsmouth being continued night, and day is another illustration that the decision oi the British Premiei will bp bHcked up by the full string h of the Empire. President Kruger is quieter, not only does he agree' to concede the reforms demanded bj th* 1 Uu landers, but he will liberate Dr Jameson without trial I " The French press ia quieter," which is not to be wondered at when the feeling aroused in England by i G rmany is taken into consideration. ( The •• concert " appears ouf> of tune wh^n one great. Power <*o quickly ' 1 steps aside to watch what fijay 1

happen between England and Prance's enemy. Germany Was warned by the Times that England might ally bfiraelf w»*h a Power uuiiienuly 10 On-many, and Fwnec^ thus waits with hope. Another sign of the times, most hopeful as a guarantee for the peace of the world, is the publication of what we ventured in our last issue to suggest was the feeling of the United States, that our Cousin? would not stand anyone else fighting us, which has bien shown by the American newspapers universally cojdemning the action of Germany. The tone of the German newspapers is less hostile, says the cable news, which meaneth a sudden ordering by the German Chancellor of the " reptile press " to be still, owing to his having discovered that the well laid schemes to interfere in Africa have been prematurely exploded. We are very hopeful that in a few days time all suggestions of war will be silenced.

The barque Halcione has become a total wr ck at the Wellington Heads. The Campbelltown Dairy Factory ia turning out butter to the value of £1000 a week, it is said. Messrs McllwraHh, McEacharn & Co. report on the Bth Novpmber, " we anticipate that prices (for butter) will be fairly good for the uexi twu months.'* Messrs Abraham & Williams hold a sale on Thursday at Palmerston. The Marylebone Vestry has ordered £20,000 worth of Tasmanlan striugy bark for paving purposes. The Venezuelan Government has declared revo'ution in the Republic England is accused of instigating the rebellion. We notice that news from Sydney suggests that chaff is likely to be dear over there on account of the drought. A large gathering is expected at the l-acs, the club having ordered 500 correct cards. The refreshment booh on the race-course on Anniversary Day has been seourpd by Joe Tos. This is good news for the hungry and thirsty. At the Court on Thursday a witness being asked whether the p aintiff had done any work for him said he had done som* " tidille-e-winking " whatever that may be. It was inferred to mean doing very little. Joe Tos had ripp p aches and ripe apples in his shop on Thursday. One of our bakers has retired from business. Whether he has made his ' pile ' or not is a question, but as he did not advertise we should doubt the for une. The total realised for the privileges on Thursday was £170 15s. M«ssr3 Gorton and Son hold a stock sale at Bulls on Tuesday. " When doctors differ the pa'ient dies" is an old adage. In this instance it is not ao bad as that. The doc ors we are going to quote are sheep doctos, and some assert that ihe sheep at the Carnarvon sale fe>ched very good prices — perhaps they were the buyers. The purchaser of the c'rect cards is canvassing for advertisement-^ There Uno doubt these books offer a capital opportunity of bringing one's business before a large and new audienoe. It is said that the balance of the Carnarvon Estate, some 2,300 acres will soon be sold. The sett ers who expected to get part of this land for a home have been the most sold over this transaction. On Thursday Messrs P. Hfnnessy & Co. had a fine sample of rip-- tomatoes from Mi- James Ingram's garden. They looked nice. The privileges for the Foxton Racing Club meeting realised exao ly seven guineas more than at the last January sale. The Post Office Hotel has changed hands, Mr C. F. Mortensen, of Palm' rston, having i urchased Mr Proctor is likely to go to Napier. The Oroua Polo team left by train this morning to play the Feilding Club. Mr Hankins forward d a cheque for £800 on account of sa'e of the Willshire property to the Hospital Board at its last meeting. At the Wnrrengate races on Thursday the h'jrs-; Sp^inrer in the Flying Race gave a dividend of £52. When Mr Tim Healy was turned out of (he Council at the Irish Nationa 1 Federa tion, six of the seven priests who were present at the stormy meeting voted for Mr Healy. If Mr Healy <s to have six-sevenths of the priesthood at his back, he will be formidab c in Ireland. Khama, the South African chief on being shown over he warship Magnificent naively inquired, pom ing to one of the six-inch >>reec!iload j rß in ihe battery, " Well, will on? of these knock a waggon over ?" We have to thank Mr Richard Gray for a bo'tle of raspberry syrup of this season's make.
