The Masonic Savings and Loan Bank of San Francisco has failed. The Auckland Star, one of the warmest supporters of the Government in the colony, says with regard to the humiliating condut of the Ministry in connection with two of the main principles of their policy: — "It cannot be denied that by taking the beer tax to a division as a Ministerial measure and then abandoning it, the Cabinet must suffer damage. A blunder has been committed, whoever is responsible for it, and another such mistake would be fatal to the Government." The Victorian Assembly on the 3rd inst. passed a resolution in favor of penny pastage throughout Victoria was adopted by 38 votes to 8. A resolution in favor of free carriage of newspapers was withdrawn. A new palace ia to be built for tha King of the Sandwich Islands, at an expense of £12,500. A Californian paper has the following : — " Auckland goldfields have no brilliant prospects, but settlement is greater, more machinery is being introduced, fencing proceeds, cattle and sheep multiply, and fields of grain take the place of uncultivated lands. This is better than gold." A frank acknowledgement is thus made by the Taranafci J\ews : — " We have to apologise to the editor of our contemporary, the lam* naki Herald, and to the Press Agency, for some caustic remarks in a sub-leader in our issue on Saturday last. We had received considerable annoyance from our contemporary during the last week, and intended to bit out hard, and, as is usual in such cases, overshot the mark." Thb old adage — "Prevention is better than cure," should not be forgotten. Our forefathers were often wiser in their day and generation than we of the present day. How often could we prevent serious sicknesses by timely use of reliable medicines. The great medicires of the present day, " Gollah's Great Indian Cures," are equal to the greatest emergencies, and if taken in time, in early stages of disease, arrest at once their progress to more serious and dangerous, and, perhaps fatal results. Try these Indian Medicines, and prove their worth.
