Presidents of Waimate, boijh Catholic and Protestant, will be; sorry to hear that the Rev. Father Q'Connell received word on Thursday that he is to proceed to Christchureh to-day to take up a position in the Cathedral.

Particulars of a novel scheme wore laid before the Wellington branch of the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners on Friday. The Bradford, Hull and Blackpool branches of the society have each formed a separate body for the purpose of enabling batches of the members to combine and teiader for building contracts. In each of the three cities rained a levy was made on the members to provide funds for the use of any batch of its members taking up a contract. The amount borrowed is repaid with interest at the completion of the contract. Provision is made for a sinking fund in case a contract should result in a loss. The system is aaid to have worked most satisfactorily at Home, and steps are being taken to rive it a trial in Wellington. At its last meeting the Wellington brancV o the society decided to make a levy of 2s per member as tho nucleus of a fund for the purposes above indicated. Bishop Stretch, of Newcastle, who recently visited Northern Queensland, writes in his parish paper in reference to black labour in Queensland. He ™ ■—" The Federal Government, with that rare courage which truly mark* great men, fastened upon the uacst harmless and unprotected people with specially. Chinese aw there in thousands, and Japanese also .but it is the Kanaka who must go. These last B e«n singularly inoffensive. Thev work hard at work that no white man should be asked to undertake. Thev are law-abiding, and spend their money where they earn it. These men, many of whom have families, are really good-living poop e 5 but an enlightened Government insists upon the Reporting of the heathen to the Islands; where tbfl chances are they will bo murdered by their still heathen countrymen A more curious and cowardly proceeding l would be hard to imagine. I trust that in jouo way Australia may be spared the scandal it is responsible for. If not. White Australia will have to blush a pretty high-coloured red for very shamo It is curious that no plans deporting Chinese *iid Japanese have been put forward, but it is not hard to B ee the reason. When we wUh to play tho bully, we naturally choouo the «»alloat boy."
