The Tribune urges that in consequence of impending change, and to prevent a hitch in public business when Provincial Institutions come to an end, a meeting of the Provincial Council should be called immediately. It says the Provincial Government are without money, and that the operations of the Education Board have been brought to a standstill through the non-payment of a grant voted to it by the Council, and that even should the land at Ouroa under offer to Mr W. S. Douglass, of Dunedin, be sacrificed, the prico will do no more than meet the overdraft at the bank. The difficulties of the position, it says, have become well-nigh intolerable. — Arrived: ' Stratlinaver,' from London, 86 days out, with 391 immigrants, '52 being single girls.
