Manawatu Herald. SATURDAY, NOV. 15, 1902. Mr Stevens.

On Wednesday night Mr Stevens once again addressed a Foxtoa audience, and gave a short sketch why fuller information should be sought from those who desired to be returned to turn the present Government out of office. It has always struck those who have watched the unwavering hostility of a few of the members of parliament that though they were ready at all times to assert that everything the Government did was bad, they never, at any time attempted to show what they could do better. No lot of men can always do right, and mistakes are qui e possible, but then the same mishap belongs to all. The present Government may have failed, at times, in execution, but not in intention. To show how their most important policy measures are viewed by their critics, it is most assuring to find that not one will venture upon the suggestion of repealing any of them. If this is so what is the use of continually carping ? There are many in the colony who like not the measures introduced by the Government, but what mouthpiece have they when their would-be representatives refuse to annul the evil done ? Does not the peculiar position of the Opposition party annul the least hope of help for those who differ from the Government ? This being so the difference appears to be that of twidledum and twidledee, and it must strike the merest tyro in politics that the originators and promotors of certain legislation must be the best to entrust its carrying out than to those who say they like it not, but are afraid, from the feeling shown in the colony, to alter. The matter appears so simple that wa are not surprised that over the colony there is a profound conviction that the Government returns to power more strongly supported than ever. If the Government goes back, the past representative of the Manawatu (Mr Stevens) should go back to, for during the term he has been its representative he has always worked on the golden rule to look upon himself as the representative of the district and not of the party whose votes returned him. In this way he has succeeded in making a host of friends who have helped to secure him, election after election, in power. His strength is such that no old inhabitant of the electorate is prepared to dispute the position with him, though in the centre there dwells one who in earlier days was a popular member. Now, for the excitement of an election, failing the gentleman the northern portion of the electorate ÜB«d to get to fight, they bays got

Mr Vile to come forward. This gentleman is, unfortunately, almost a stranger, and to otlr mind Ui§ candidature though being & vei'y plilcky one, certainly reflects on the energy of the representatives of the Opposition in the district. What we have previously found fault with the Opposition, is again present, and that is their unreliableness, as though a comparatively new comer has taken up the cudgels oh their behalf, and belief in their support, yet he will be aware by now, they have been moving behind his back to get someone in his place! These be true friends ? Of such are the ranks of the Opposition.

It was pleasing on Wednesday night to notice that the Mayor publicly acknowledged the ever ready attention of Mr btevens to the wants of the district, and this was ably endorsed by Councillor Speirs. This shows that our public men, who have lately shown nutch public spirit, have been brought in contact With Mr Stevens and are ready to accord him thanks for his services; We have little doubt about the result of the Poll, and we give our readers credit in appreciating help and attention.

Time and Money. —Sickness causes a loss of both time and money. You lose the time and have the expense of medical attendance, entailing a double loss. This can be avoided by using some reliable remedy at the first stage of sickness.
