The Wairarapa Daily TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 13,1883. MR SUTTON.

Mn Sutton's case lias been brought I before the public again by' the testimonial presented to Intn last evening. The affair of his retirement from the head of the Sheep Department in this district was primarily a matter of'Gov- , ornment Departmental administration, , secondarily a Whareama question, and thirdly a district party question. With reference to the first aspect we we disposed to believe that Mr Diok treated Mr Sutton somewhat harshly, not in removing him from the Wairarapa, because there is reason to believe that it was desirable in the public interests that ho should bo transferred, but in not recognizing his claim for another appointment which ho could have accepted without loss of prestige or a feeling of humiliation. The Department pitched upon Mr Sutton as an exceptionally able man to', lead almost a forlorn hope against scab in tho Whareama district. Mr Sutton did his best, but because he came short of success it was not right of tho Hon. Mr Dick to offer him one of the most undesirable sheep districts in tho colony and say take that, or go about your business. Secondarily, as we havo said, tho question is a Whareama one, In that district, the home of scab, tho feeling of the majority of the settlers was advorso to Mr Sutton, so much so, that it was improbable that they : would' co-operate with him in cleaning the district, or that he could , stamp out tho scab without such co-operation. In the third and local party aspect of the question, we aro not sorry that an expression of dissatisfaction should havo been given as to the abrupt manner in which Mr ; Sutton's official career in this district was terminated, Mr Sutton has undoubtedly a grievance, and if the ventilation of it will do him any good we shall be very glad of it for his sake. We fancy, however, that like Mr Telford, lie will havo to grin and bear it. Both of theso ex-inspectors have been somewhat scurvily treated, and one cannot help thinking that the Sheep Department of the Crown is not very' wisely administered, Poor Mr Dick no doubt is sublimely ignorant of the various questions which crop up in this particular branch of the public service, and depends upon some subordinate for advice. We do not know whether tho Superintendent Inspector is a competent man, Judging from the muddle which appears to bo made of the departmental work, he is either unfitted for the position, or trammelled so that ho cannot do justice to his duties. Scab is rampant only in two or thrpe places in tho colony, and there is a stall of Inspectors on the roll which is strong enough, if concentrated, ' to crush it out a dozen times over. The Department apparently considers stamping out Inspectors its particular forte. We consider the colony was a loser by Mr Telford's retirement, and that it also suffers if Mr Sutton leaves tho service. Mr Sutton touched on many debateable points last evening, but the feeling of his friends was evidently averse to re-opening the scab question, and concurring in this sentiment we do not desire in any way to revive discussion on this subject,
