The Wairarapa Daily. THURSDAY, MAY 1, 1884. MINISTERIAL PLUCK.

If pluck \v''l carry the Ministry through, the diißcultH which lie h their putli, Major ATiUNsqx.ancl Mr Ebiit;ESTON have .still a chance. Like their colleague, Mr Cbyce, they appear to be all back-bone. Major Atkinson did as.bold i a deed wheil he' faced an angry audience at ChrisHmroli as the .Native Minister accomplished in the ■famous Parihaka arrpsl, and Mr PvOLLESTON'at Paprinui ,'was 'qually ready in bearding tlie,! g.-oin lknvhits den, It isspraething like .leading a forlorn hope when a public mpn gets up to face .a'crowd of hostile faces with the reasonable expectation of being howl 1 and hoptecl.down.. Major Atkinson's four hours 1 battle with his Ohristchuvch meeting would, were there a Victoria Cross for politician l !, havo erititH him to the distinction. We do not approve of theie Ministerial 'stumping.tours, •but;we cannot fail" to'.'ofeervQ that they lendi'o Btrepgthe.n the MJr'sti/. The political euemipj of Mp-srs Atkinson, and Eollest'on wi'l admire their cou'r-' 'age and-force of character. They can--not help'admitl-'ig.that the Premier and the Mfiister of Lands tire,-in spite of their options, strong, eainest,'honest men, and when Mr Montc'omeky conn along .v Ith hk milk p'nd wate'y the contrast: will : be all' in : favor of the Ministry. Wo disprove on pr'nciple ! of th'esa open meeting .'piior to the- session ,of, Parliament. They remind us of : tbepenny travelling a perthe' booth prior" 1 to *iliio legitimate drama; bwngiepacteAwitli'n.. The interest'm' the'.p'eiibririahce prbper'is'usually found to have been satiated by the previous sp'Ctiicular display h front. Wo think itj'wbuld bemore i? : gnifi.l6f Major Atkinson to wait for the openSg 6f the session instead of beating a drum and crjlng' "."Walk up- ladies and gentlemen, and ere ,'tho opposition lion stuffed with'straw I. Come and view the.wondeiful performancs of the only legitimate financial acrobat in the colony!" We,howeyerj-'adrn'tthat the Ohristohurclr; tempiist, the Dunedin .breeze, and the flutter which is expected toi take plai;,e. ; b..Wellington, will aisw'tto dear the political atmosphere, arid that, when':.the'House does sit, I political partirs'wil] be in a position to J fly at each others i'throats without the procrasbinatiori that usually ushers in a parliamentary Contest. We know now that a battle'.p£ North versus South is to be fought. We are aware that the Atkinson Ministry is deemed protm a ■North: Island 'Ministry, and .that ; if it be turnef out a Middle Mand- Ministry will take its place. People who!hftve : the interest'of the

colony lit heart will welcome a general election on the cliatioe of it bringing back some bettor men to the House, It is probable that if, prior to the general election, any legislation is accomplished it will be of an extremely unsatisfactory character. .'The temper of existing parties is unfavorable to good honest legislative work.

Thß young man Canton, admitted into the Masterton Hospital a few weeks baok, from Alfredton with two broken legs, left that institution yesterday in a convalescent state. In a few days he will be fit for work again. As an illustration of the insensibility of some men to the benefits they receive, we might mention that Canton, when he left the hospital, had a pockot full of money .besides a substantial bank deposit, and yet he never offered to contribute a sixpence towards an institution that had probably saved his life at a critical juncture. A meeting in the estate of Mr D. F McCarthy was hold in the old Oourthoriao in .Masterton this morning, Mr Sellar, Deputy-Assignee, being in the oliair, and Mr Biinny attdndiug as Solicitor to; tho' debtor, The chairman reported that at a preliminary meeting held in Wellington, an offer of 12s 3d in the pound had been made, and that the creditors there were unanimous a 8 to aocepting it.

He walked back to Mr Picket's whore the dislocation was reduced, by the patient' being stuck up against a paling fenoa and the displaced member pulled into 'itsposition through it.
