UMr Orhond, too, holds that Mr Stout has forfeited his position as leader of the Liberal party in New Zealand. There are, however, not wanting signs at the present time that Mr Stout, is ashamed of the husks which lie has been eating at the instance of Sir Julius Vogel. and that he will return to his party like a prodigal son and be forgiven. It is curious at the present juncture to notice how the game of politics is being played in Wellington. The Post, which is ever elastic in Us principles, and has: supported every Ministry while it has has been in power, for'the last twenty years, pins its faith to Sir Julius VoqEL, the Press which advocates the views of the people of Wellington rather than the edicts of tho Government building sympathises with Mr Stout. It may be regarded as a certainty that the Post and Press will never come together, and almost as a certainty that Mr

Stout and Sir Julius Yogkl will not continue as partners, the practical question now is, the survival of the fitter. Mr Ormond, apparently, in ■not prepared to support either, on the ground that both have been false to the principles which they have professed. • One very sagacious remark made by Mv Omkwd in the course of his address deserves carefully to be considered by those who are dependent on labor and favor the idea of a big loan. Mr Ormond conclusively demonstrates that the effect of large borrowing at the present time would be toattracfc labor from neighbouring colonies where depression also prevails,, and to .flood this colony with unemployed men from other shores. There is a great amount of force in this argument; and we trust it will not be overlooked by many who have been induced to believe that their condition would be ameliorated if a large loan were sanctioned.

Masterton footballers are reminded that there will be practice to-morrow afternoon on the Park Oval. The Rev J. F. Teakle and Mrs Tcakle are passengers per the R.M.S. Aorangi for England. It will be remembered that the reverend gentleman was for several years incumbent of St, Matthews,' Masterfcon. ■: The following team will represent the Masterton 0.0. in the match with Opaki to-morrow afternoon :-Litfclojohn, Perry, MoKenzie, Howell, Williams,' D'Arcy, Kibblewhite, Jackson, Hathaway, Isitt, Harrison, Emergencies, J.

An apology forcertam slanderous words used against Mr Bishop of the White Hart Hotel, Carterton, appears in our advertising columns, Messrs Lowes and lorns announce a sale of boilers, tanks, oats, potatoes, omims, clothing, drapery, fancy goods, furniture, poultry, and miscellaneous goods at their rooms to-movrow. At the inquest at Auckland on the body of Arthur Hemmett, a verdict of death from natural causes wss returned, There was no foundation for the allegation that death was caused by exposure or starvation. Messrs W. Jaiiiosmi & Co,, wholosale and retail grocers, and winu and spirit merchants, of Willis Street, Wellington, I have published in our columns a list of prices for their goods, delivered free of charge at the Railway Station, Welling, ton. The resolution of the Auckland Presbytery, opposing French annexation of the New Hebrides, are to be forwarded to the Moderator of the Presbyterian Church for transmission to the Government, either singly or jointly, with other representations from other sections of the Church. Messrs E. W. Mills & Co. Limited, have a new advertisement on our front page for the ploughing season, They have just received a shipment "Invercargill" of Hornsby's ploughs, Howard's harrows, Betall's chaff cutters and bean crushers, and other goods to meet the requirements of farmers. The Post reports that Mr Bunny will leave for Nelson early next week to commence his duties there as special commissioner for the settlement of claims connected with Native reserves. Our contemporary is extremely anxious to have the public understand that Mr Bunny's appointment is not a permanent one. Mr F. H, Wood had a good attendance at his Taratahi sale yards yesterday. Very few sheep were yarded, however, and the prices realized were decidedly in favor of buyers. About 10C head of cattle were sold under the hammer. Prices as under :-Calves, 10s to 255; Yearling heifers, 325; two-year-old steers 45s to 54s Gd; cows, from £2l4s (id for store to £6 for dairy; horses£3 to £9; pi™, small, 5s to 10s. Somebody, and that somebody an American, lias been "calculating" the earnings of the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, during the last forty years. They amount to tho respectable total of £150,000, made up of the following items :-Salary as a preacher, £04,000 : lecture fees, £48,000; various publications, £20,000; wedding tees, £lO 000incidentals, £B,OOO. This estimate is believed to be rather, below the mark than above it, The Supremo Court case, Stevens v Wairarapa East County Council, will, we understand, come on for hearing at the sittings of tho Court next week. Plaintiff, it will be remembered, claims about £2OO damages arising from the premature determination of a coutract let to him by tho Council, The defendants have paid into court tho sum of £2l Ms, tho amount they consider the plaintiff entitled to. A great many witnesses are subpeened in the case, A meeting of tho Masterton Cemetery Trustees was held at the Institute yesterday afternoon. Preseut - Messrs Payton (in the chair), Hourigan, and Vile. Tho business was mainly of a routine character. Mr Vile was appointed chairman of the Trust for the current year. The Secretary reported that some of.the trees within grave enclosure required removal, and was instructed to bring up a detailed list of same to next meeting. The tollowinglresolutidji was passed by tho Dunedin Presbytery:-" The Presbytery having had its attention called to the threatened annexation by France of the New Hebrides, it m resolved to urge the New Zealand Government to use its utmost endeavours to secure what the British Government has led the Australian colonies to expect-viz,, that the independence of these islands would be preserved, and the interests of the missions so successfully carried on by the Presbyterian Church be maintained; and that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to tho Hon., the Premier." Probably a public meeting on the question will be called, Messrs Lowes and lorns hold an important sale of town properties to. morrow on account of Mr Thomas James, the wellknown builder, who is leaving the district. The property to be offered is that substantial six-roomed dwelling house in Albert Street in which Mr James resides; », detached two-storey cottage in Victoria Street opposite Or Gapper's residence; two cottages on the Bentley estate that are never untenanted; and several building sites in the Bentley estate having frontages to Villa and Bentley Streets. The whole of the houses are very favorably situated for letting, and anyone requiring an investment should not miss the opportunity offered by this sale, 1o anyone wishing to secure a home, special terms can be arranged of a very liberal nature, Afterwards, on account of Mr W, Rapp, the goodwill of tho lease of two cottages in Hope Street will be offered, the ground rent of which is only £5 per annum, Tho Masterton Hospital Trustees met at the Insfcituto yesterday, PresentMessrs Boddington (Chairman), Paige, and lorns.
