HON. J. G. WARD IN LONDON.
London, April 30. la his address at the Colonial Institute Mr Ward said that if the future proved that mistakes had been made in framing the social laws at present ruling in New Zealand the common sense of the people would correct them. The people themselves would not allow the country to autfor, and they had no desire to smash up things which were at preseut successful. Though the colony possessed all the elements of separation it would warmly adhere to Great Britain on the grounds of affection and commercial interests. Mr Ward, speakiug at the Colonial institute, said that prohibition had not worked well tn the districts in which it had been tried in New Zealand. He emphasized the great excess of exports over imports of the colony and advised more immigration. He was confident thi't the colonies would soon regain the times of prosperity which prevailed prior to the boom. Speaking [of the women's franchise, he said that it had been a great success. The Bishop of Salisbury, who had roturned from his tour through New Zealand and Australia, also spoke. He s.iid that New Zealand was the mos-. comfortable country fo»* a poor man, but that accumulation of wealth wa3 discouraged.
