Tho nomitiiition for the Western Maoii District took pLice at Alexandra on Wed nesday last, M» (J.T. Wilkinson returning officer. The following candidates were proposed :— Horn. Taipua(Ngatiraukawa), Pepeno Kketone (Ngatunaniapoto), Te Wheoro (Waikato), Takarangi Mete Kingi (Wangiinui), John Oniibby (N Tgatimauiapoto). A {-how of liutids resulted a? follows :— T« Wheoro, 33 ;Ta pua, 2G : Popene, 3 ; Takarangi, 2 ; Oriusby 2. A j)oll was demanded. The Bay of Plenty Times says :— " The Te Aroha people deserve all credit for the action taken by them in establishing a Sanatoiium. They are thoroughly selfreliant,^ and piopobo to do the works themselves Instead of running to Government forit." The Waipa roll has 1,662 names upon it, and the Waikato roll 1,406. It is reported that the directors of the Moanataifiii Gold-mining Company have icceived an oiler of ,£2Q,OQO cash for Ihe mine by a London syndicate. Tho directors place a higher value upon '£heif pioperty, and therefore they have not accepted the offer, but have autlioiised their agent in England to submit the pio^P'jity at a liighor figure. A meeting- in Auckland of the shareholdeis of the Waiorongmai Gold-mining Company was called for>Mooday l,wt 7t but lapsed for want of a quorum, only four gentiemjnl)eiugin uttendanee. A desultory diicustiiyn took place on the question as to whether the Company canio under the operations of the new Act. It being discovered upon reference that such was tho , case,it was suggested by Mr J M Clark that the secretary should communicate with the Mining Inspector, Mr George Wilson, and tender the sum of Ll9 12s *4d, t§e amount due for the license in June 'last. No other busiuess was transacted. Tenders are invited by advertisement for draining in the Waitou district. Plans and specifications may be seen at the Post Oilices Te Aroha and Waihou.

11l another column wo pubftsh a. m.iui'i'dhti^omtivt^to -Bible peadyig in schools'. TJ.o'queBti»M» 'is one "of great' importance to this Colony, and tlioro is no doubt but tlmt the total exclusion of religious teaching of an,} kind from our public schools io wjoiking disastrously. Sui-ely it will bo admitted th.it the vast m ijority 'pf ' the residents in New Zealand \b.elieve that in the -Bible we have a message from God to all liis human creation, and that it i.s a murage of paramount iiuporlance, convey in^ truths to the mind that cannot otherwise lie made known. ' Nearly all parents, however rude in thought themselves, value religion for tinir children. It has been said th.it it would be unjust to part of the community to have the Bible taught in our public schools; but itshonld be borne in mind that such teaching would be given only by the dcsiie of a majority of the people, with the provision of a conscience el,iuci>, so th.it any child, whose parent \> 6o wished, would be at perfect libei ly to withdraw for the time. Let tlie matter be fairly put to tlio vote of the peonle, and we are sure an overwhelming niijoiily oi parents would vote in favour of Slate education being no longer of im utterly Godless character. In the South, wheie the matter luu> been put practically to the test, eight to one voted in favour ot Bible leading in the schools.
