The Wairarapa Daily. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1887. SIR JULIUS VOGEL.

Tna debate upon the addross-in-reply confirme our. impression that Sir Julius Vogel is going to como out strong this session, and that it will be a mistake to underrate his capacity for making it" hot" for the Ministry For tho last three years Sir Julius Vogel has been in bondage, he has been the real though not the nominal head of a party with which he had but little in common, and whion he influenced rather than commended. Now there.is no question whether Sir Julius or Sir Robert Stout loads the party. Sir Robert is out in the cold, and. the party has formally selected the former as.their chief. Sir Julius is quite capable of educating his. party in either a Conservative or Radical direction, and it is extremely probable he will take tho former course. On Thursday last Sir- Julius Vogel opened fire on tho Treasury benohes. He cut and slashed at thoso two weak vessels in tho Ministry. Messrs Fisher and flisbp, and chaffed the Premier unmercifully. Major Atkinson apparently lost his temper, and Sir Julius Vogel followiug suit tbero was a warm quarter of an hour whioh bodes a jtormy session. Betwoon Major Atkinson and Sir Julius it would now appear there is" war to the knifo, and the knife to the hilt." Under the lead of Sir Julius the"ro is now a strong .vigorous Opposition, and if under tho lead of Major Minsou there is a Ministerial party equally'capable, we may expeot a- fruitful and profitable session.

In nineteen oases out of twenty the mo3t galling attention that can be oxtended to an unsuccessful oandidato for parliamentary honors is to present a testimonial to him, We presume Mr Hogg's case is the twentieth', and tl|at tho expression of sympathy from' his immediate supporters last evening was intended to console bin) for a, bad 4efeat'which he has not perhaps borne with that manly and straightforward equanimity whioh others in a (pilar position have b'eonwout to display. If, however, the soothing plastor applied last evoning reconciles".him to his sorrows we shall be glad, because everlastingly whining over an election battle of whioh every one- is sick and tired is in the worst possible taste, ■

At tho meeting in the Thoatro Royal laet ovoning the following resolution was carried on the motion of Mr Renall seconded by Mr Prangnall "That this mooting pla'ces on record its appreciation of the many important sorvicoa rendered to the colony and especially to the liberal interest 'by Sir Robert Stout, and expresses tho hope that his retirement from Piibllo lifo will be of brief duration/ ■•-"

An esteemed and respected .fellow citizen, says the Auckland Herald, was lying on the road not far from his residence, in so advanced a state of intoxica-. ■tion that he could neither walk nor speak. Two men happened to come up, and seeing a well-dressed man,in this state, tried' to arouse him. They, asked him where he lived, .and after gaziug ( vacantly around he pointed to a house not far away. By great exertions they got him along to the house indicated, and knocked vigorously at the door. At length there came a lady dressed in white, or, perhaps, to speak moro correorly, inner nightdress. Not wishing to intrude upon any'domestio scene, the two good Samaritans simply pushed their holpless oharge bang into the lobby, and quickly departed; Great was their horror when'noxt morning they found that thoy had-taken the man to tho wrong house,' and'had shob him in his doplorable condition into tho arms of a chaste matron.

_ During the stay of tho H,- M. S, Nelson in Anoklnnd a local celebrity named Hodtre took it into his head to pay a visit to her on a " close day." • Ho engaged a waterman, who rowed him ovor to the warship, where ho with utmost self possession stalked on board, and to the surprise of the assembled officers began a tour of inspection on his own account, Hodgo went on with sight seeing until ho got tired, and made preparations for his doparture. Tho lieutoiiant, says the Bell, who had beon greatly amused, went up to him and asked him if he wished to see anyone " Yes," was tho reply," l.want to so 6 the Admiral." "Oh," said tho officer," he is on shore; porhans you would like to leave a message?" A slight pause onsued, and then Hodgo, quite Bolf-piißSßsed, said: "Oh, no; you can just tell him when he returns that one of tho owiiei'B called.
