The Wairarapa Daily. THURSDAY, MAY 29, 1884. CONSERVATISM.

If ever there was a tima in the history of New Zealand';when a little Conservatism would -be": wholesome,' it is the present one, liberalism and Conser vatism are both valuable factors in parly Government, the one acting as a ebeck upon the other.; In England many Liberals welcome, after a time, a Conservative reaction, and many' ■Conservatives do not believe that,a perpetual Conservative Government would be advantageous, Liberalism in New Zealand has extendedto such a degree that an'average' English Liberal settling here would be a decided Conservative. We believe that, this, colony is suffering from an excess of' Liberalism, which has not only.changed very many of its institutions, but threatens all that have hitherto escaped the hand of the.spoiler. The'effrot has I been to demoralise l 'the pastoral, agricultural, and commercial interests of the colony, :: The-political leaders- of the colony are niore or less pledged as ■" Moloch's" though occasionally tliey' admit that the result of their past rash legislation lias ; not answered' their expectations. The :only man who c:in consistently lead a: Conservative party in New Zealand now is Sir Julius VoiiEL. :Ho has not as yet secured a seat,in the House, hut his presence there in the is a tolerable oertainty. The East Coast arrangement at Gisbornehas fallen through but other seats arj available, Mr Pilliet offer's Stanmore, and. more than one Otago seat is likely to be at his disposal. There are few constituencies in. the colony which .would'not bo glad to change off their sitting member for Sir Julius. It must be a disappointment to Thorndon that when it was casting ronnd tor a first class "nnn it overlooked Sir Julius, anCi had to put .|ip with a smart-apprentice. We desire to see. a Conservative party in the house for a •while. One half of the adult males of the colony are freeholders who'have, something to conserve, and whose interests for some time; past have been very much at the mercy of politicians who have regarded them as "natural enemies." We trust to the influence of Sir Julius Vogel to change this. As yet he is -single-handed, but it is significant that since he expressed his willingness to sit in the House members in their post-sessional '•' addresses have been very careful riot' to pledge themselves to either Major Atkinson'/ Sir George Grey, or Mr Montgomery,

A Wellington correspondent describes tho drawing of Vulcan's discourses in'the following terms: —All the' cards are numbered and placed on a table in towb of twenty-five each; but first of alia committee ot eight in chosen from tho members present, these being nearly 100.' The books are then produced and examined, and cards corresponding with the numbers of tickets sold from the books are placed in the box. The tickets in the box are then counted, and the unsold tickets are also counted, The Horßea nominated are placed in another box, »nd two boys with bare arms-one at each box-draw one iipket for each horse until the sixteen are disposed. of.; The tickets are then replaced'in the box, and the cash awards are drawn in the same manner. From what I saw the drawing was all fair and square. One book, sold by Mr Elkiua, of Masterton, drew a horse and three cash awards'. " A correspondent of the " Wa'ikato Gazette" tells the following story; of Judge Johnston. He says " His 'Honor was very fussy and important, One night some wags knocked at his'door and told him or his servant that Mr Strang, an officer of his court, was at the point of death.- It was a bitterly cold nightand, raining hard, but the Judge put on his, wrapper and gaiters and started up those those terrible Wellington mountainous, unpaved streets to the residence ot MrStrang. .Arrived there, wet through'arid covered with yellow mud, his Honor asked for the moribund man. "He is : upstairs, sir," said the servant; "the parson is with' him," "Very proper, quite right," said Judge Johnston; "it was thoughtful of you to send for him Show me up;" and up he went, and there was Mr Strang and the parson drinking some lovely hot whiskey, flavored wi'h lemon and sugar,- ; In spite of rewards and police enquiries the perpetrator of this oruel joke was never delected.

A well-known facetious old bachelor of our acquaintance lately concluded : U ■• marry, and having found the lady, called on oiie of our city ministers with a request for somo slicking plaister, He was at 6rst inclined to be: indignant, .until the funny one explained that he only wanted' a-marriage license! .The minister, .not being a Scotohman, saw through the jokej' and gave him the plaster.

Of oourae it is triio. On the passage of the Alexandria from New Orleans to New lorkjayoung lad.of about 14 r from a natural frolicsome disposition, beoame so troublesome that' he. was threatened by the captain that he would oonfine him in a water onek, Our youmjnter tonk no heed, and, at his next offenoe, waß put into the cask, which was headed up, leaving a large bung hole for the a'dmission of air. The ship enoountered ft violent storm, aud, in a sudden lurch, the oaßk containing the buy rolled into tho sea, The circumstance waß not notioed by those on board. Fortunately.the. cask atuok: bung.up,, and floated about 80 hours, wheii it ms thrown upon the beach at Cape St. JBlas. ' Here, the boy made efforts to extricate himself from his prison without success, and in despair to die. Some oows Btrolling on the beach were attraoted to the cask, and one of their numbor, it being fly time, switched her tail into the bung hole, which the boy grasped with desperate resolution. The oow bellowed, and set off for life; and, after running some two hundred yards with the oask, struck it against a log on the beaoh, and knecked it, as we may Bay, into a cooked hat. The boy, thus providentially released, was discovered by some fishermen.

A meeting of creditors in- the estate of O'Malley. & Pepperell, contractors, 'was he'd on Tuesday in the Supreme Court Buildiiipß, for the purpose of considering ihedebtors' applictttinn- for a, discharge.

Mr Blower said th'e'oreditors were.surely en tilled to some explanation from the bankrupts, and an acrimonious discussion ensued between that gentleman and the debtors, the latter pointing out'the hard manner in which the Government had dealt with them. Mr O'Malley.said' they came to Wellington with £12,000 in bard cash, which they had loßt. Finally Mr Campbell (Leary & Campbell) moved " That tlm meeting be adjourned for six months;" Mr Blower seconded the motion, ;MrDwan said he was of opinion that the debtors had acted as fairly, as they could, and he would move, as an amendment; "That the application for disohargo be granted." Mr Hall (for F, Hubbard. Ohrißtohurch), seconded the amendment. A division being taken, the amendment was lost, the original motion being carried.—N : Z. 'S'm% •
