' : 5 ' " -■••-.- -- — ■ A Massachusetts State senator remarks that is hard to please one's constituents. A few days after I went to the Senate for the first time I made my maiden speech 1 . I laid myself out on it, and ( l Jihbught it was a* daisy. After \ I got through I went out and there I'met Mr Finneity, who boasted of having "more political influence than any domiried, man . m the jward." He was red m the face, and very angry about . something. "What's the matter ?" I inquired. " Mattel,' 1 'he replied ; "we wants you to distinctly understand ''(emphasis) " that, we didn't elect you for ; spahd-making. What we want of ypu : herea^er is silence, and " : (irripressively) •!' dommed little of that." During^the business at the Waitqtara' : County Council meeting on Monday, one of the j members, v Cr Death produced are ; ; port of axiase "which had^been decided it' Dunedm, and was of interest to County Councils. From the biief repoit given it appeared that at Outraui a county rangef \ t W9f impounding , some 'cattle,- ! which were rescued by the owne'rV : TfoW latter was charged with unlawfully rescuing; His Worship (Mr Care^R.M.) for some extraordinary reason, not stated, held that the county had no power under Ithe act of 1884,^0, authorise, . any person :to impound cattle, the seizure,- therefore 3vas npt legal, and the rescuing not unlawful. The Waitotara Council considered that Ejection 17 ; of the' ' Impounding Act," ' 1884, jfully justified them m appointing arangeri! This , reetion provides that, person authorised , by ; the local authoj%,; having charge of. the roads, .may. uripoutui any cattle, which, shall at any time of the day or night be found' wandering at larger of strayingfin. or tying abonti or^tejbhered iOn a; rend or place of. public xssov%~Hwcdd. .
