In an article on the recent Judicial and Police changes and reductions the Ft eta says : — ln firmly dealing with a question of great public (importance— a question which all other Ministers for many years past have only trifled with — The Government are entitled to the confidence and support of the people. That confidence and support we are satisfied they will secure if they crrry out their present course of retrenchment to its full accomplishment. If tht:y do not carry it out, however— if they stop short with their work half do'ie — they will, we honestly believe, be in a sorrier plight than if they had never begun. It is all very well to deprive the public of all sorts of convenience and protections which they enjoyed loug before the devil and Sir Julius Yogel invented the Public Works policy. It is all very well tothrow large numbers of deserving persons out of employment, and their families into distress. It is all very well to make the people pay for things that they have been accustomed to have piven to them gratis. All this in the present financial position of the colony is necessary, aud ifc must be submitted to. The public know now th.it the bubble has burst, that the Public Works policy is a degrading flam,- aad that evil times are upon them. But they are a good, sensible, plucky public, and under steady leadership, they will do whatever bas to be done. Tbey de- | mand, however, to be led straight aud treated fairly. They are not going to be humbugged ; and we are convinced that. Ministers have no intention of trying to humbug them. The reduction will, we are satisfied, be general iv its application to all branches of the expenditure, for it will never do to stop the tap in one part of the colony, while we have the bunghole miming in another. " JEgles " tells the following story anent the confusion to which the practice of naming animals (aud we might also add plants and flowers) after distinguished persons tends :— Mistress Nelly C , who has spent most of her days on a station where the patricians of the flocks and herds are known by aristocratic uames, visited Ballarat last week during the champion sheep show. A friend who had not seen her for years, and who was good-naturedly anxious to parade some of the amusements of the golden city, asked permission to send her tickets for (ha concert that evening fit the Academy of Music. By way of further inducement he said, "You will see the Duke of Mancheter there." " Oh,' indeed," said she, " I heard they went to the railway station to meet him, and afterwards brought him to the cattle-yards ; but how will they get him on the stage ? Will they rope him, or handle him, of what?" "Rope him," said her friend in astonishment, " why should a man be roped to go to a concert ?" " Man I" said the lady ;"is it only v man ? Faith, they made so much talk about him, I thought he was the prize merino 1" la its issue of the 14th August, London Punch pays the following high compliment to the Australian cricketers: — Australian lads, ye're a leathering lot, Your team has no " tail,' 1 and seems proof a<.aiust"rot !" Your batsmen a capital average tot ! Your bowlers are commonly well on the spot ! Our cracks seem all catching ifc awfully hot, (Nine runs in two iunings " the Champion " got !) Yorkshire you " scumflshed," now Gloucester you've " shot," You have licked us all round, and the prospect is not An encouraging one to the Briton or Scot, And — driuking your health — Mr Punch would ask, ♦' What 1 Can Cricket in Eugland be going to pot ?" (Mr P. sigheth, and- solaceth himself with a "deep, deep draught" of Iced Hatfield.)
