The Wairarapa Daily. FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1885. THE GREAT LUBRICATOR.

Sir Julius Voqel, in addressing his constituents, spread illimitable butter ,over his colleagues. The Premier had devoted himself to Civil Service reform; Mr Tom had gone in for technical education; the Colonial Secretary, though people laughed at him, had tackled charitable aid; Mr Riciukdson had improved the management of railways; Mr Balunce had been enthusiastically working, out the. land question, and as Native Minister was a paragon. According to Sir Julius we have all the talents in the present Ministry, but then wicked - people will not believe this. They know that Mr Ballance is getting native affairs into a muddle, and that Messrs Buckley and Tole are mere ciphers. They are also aware that Mr Stout, though he would fain be an ox, very much resembles a frog, and that the friends of the Ministry are getting a little anxious about their position, "If Mr Beetham'sfriends,"said Mr Ballance the other day,." will let us remain in office a little longer, we may do some good," The Ministry are in power on sufferance, There is no desire to turn them out, but if they make too great a muddle of public affairs there will be no alternative. The funniest part of the great lubricator's speech was his roterence to the bone of contention between Mr Slow and himself-local government reform, It appears that a bill is to be prepared, half of which lo to emanate from the legal mind of tho Premier and the ether moiety from tho fertile.kiln of the floloulsj Treasurer, How the ttvo halves iu'o to bo iunW rppins to bo soon, This 1? entity a now dopwuro in Legislative manufacture, ani were iwttlio Cabinet at their wit's end they would never resort to it, The only other decjded novelty in the speeoh was a proposnf to. yirtjWJly establish land banks in New Zealand, hut as Sjr Julius carefully explained thathewappt expressingtheyjewa. his colleagues on this question, the importance of it as a probable political measure is considerably diminished.

A certain lot of people are on a desert island and have only enough food to last a short time ; but there are two ships, one is rotten at the bottom, and the other is quite sound and can be relied upon. Of coui'Be the experienced sailors take to the good ship, and beg all the others to go with them, but some say they don't believe the chart, and would rather die where they are than bo mad enough to go in cither ship, Others say they know quite enough themselves and take the ship with the rotten bottom on their own hook, rather than go with the experienced i sailorj}. Well, the experienced sailors beg and pray froth the foolish ones on the island and the ones on the rotten ship to go with them, but neither take any notice, and so the experienced sailors who are thought fools by the ethers, have to go by themselves. My dear reader, which class do you belong to? Some stick to this world, and will not start for the other, where there is Life Everlasting ; and some start in a rotten old ship, sinning all the way, for does not your chart tell you that without Holiness you cannot enter Heaven. Have you tried both sides of the question yet? If not— Do! And if you want to ten to navigate your own vessel, go to the Salvation Army meeting.—Advt,
