The Foxton School Committee meets this evening in the Borough Chambers. Train arrangements for the Easter holidays and for the Feilding races on the 24th and 25'h inst. are advertised. The Campbell street (Palmerston) -schoolboys easily defeated Foxton school cadets in a shooting match this morning. Full scores will appear in our next issue. The Wanganui Education Board gives notice of the holding of school committee elections on Tuesday, 25th iust. Nine members are required at Foxton. seven at Moutoa, Omna Bridge, Taiknrea, and Himatangi, and five at Himatangi mill. The formal opening of the new school uouse at Shannon took place on Wednesday. The Premier was amongst those present. In the evening Mr Seddon was entertained at a dinner, and in (he course of his remarks, referring to the needs of the district in the way of transport, said Yon must never look for a large profit from your railways, for if you take a profit from them you are militating against the best interests of your producers. Yon must lower your railway rates to simply paying point, and nothing beyond that. That leads me to a question which, I am sure, has exercised you often, namely, the colony acquiring the Manawatu railway. Yon know my own views upon this question. They were embodied in legislative proposals carried by Parliament, and if you look back I think there are many who will agree with me that it is a pity we were not quite unanimous. It is to be regretted we were not a little more generous, for if that railway had belonged to the colony this district, in my opinion, would have been in a much belter position to compete in the market* of the world.

The viiicndanco at the Foxton State school for the past week averaged 216.5 011 1 of a rod number of 256, leaving an average of absences or 39.5. A special meeting of the Borough Council will be held on Monday evening (o deal with applications lor the 0 isilion of overseer.

Messrs L)e Luen Bros., of Palmersan North, have an advertisement in this issue, addressed specially to mothers and men, which should repay perusal,

The Pimgarelm correspondet of the Taranaki Herald says:—“A number of Maoris on the coast have been trying to earn a honest pfemiy By breaking Hones for the Egnjorit Cdiinty Cotirtcil. -\i! of Tohn’s followers have now stooped stone-breaking. It is stated that the prophet has forbidden them to do any more work for the county of any Government Departtrlerit*

At lasl night’s public meeting Mr J. A. Nash made apology for the absence if several gentlemen who were detained Trough interest in municipal election matters in tile bijsy , Palmerston North. And no one asked what ‘‘interest in municipal election matters” was. Less than A fortnight novV lies net ween this and election day, and the subject of borough affairs is apparently as dead as Julius Caesar in Foxtdm A POPULAR Idea SCOUTED; False alarriis at thrifts of iriterriaticrial crises are immeasurably worse than groundless cries of “Fire!” in a crowded theatre. Libels on the fair fame of a foreign nabob, lie it friendly or hostile are rtiso worthy of condemnation. The statements recently made in a widely circulated English monthly review about the Ruesiaii and the bad treatment df the irien by their officers come under the latter category. It should be wholly unnecessary to say that they are Utterly false. Whatever defects an unfriendly critic may discern in the Russian military system, cruelty to the men is not one of them. I have seen a good deal of the Russian army) of the regiments of the line as well a§ of the guards, in peace time and in war, in Europe and Asia, under three Czars, and, lean affirm categorically that the officers hriat the then ildt only without actual cruelty or contempt, but with far more positive kindliness than I have seen displayed towards privates in any other army in the world. And I may add this suggestive fact, that these admirable relations long subsisting between the officers and rank and file have become such a matter of course that the men would not brook acts of cruelty of of humiliation, the blent endurance of which is in some States regarded almost as part of the d iy’s work. One ot the brightest characteristics of the Russian Army is die admirable, one might say the ideal, spirit which regulates the intercourse between officers and men. —E. J.
