The Wairarapa Daily. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25,1888. English Capital in the Wairarapa.

We were a little Buipriseclto find that « Birminghaqi M.P, was the proprietor of a Wairdrapa up-country station, but'ifc is pretty goiieraUy ImowrTthat the Manawa run camo into the possession of MrU. Dixon, M,P„ not from any desire on his part to possess property in New Zealand, but because the former owner, of this estate—a well known merchant in Wellington —camo to griof, and his assets passed into the possession of English creditors.: Thoro is 'one! gratifying circumstance, however, in connection with this property, viz,, that Mr JL)ison finds tho station a sound investment from a financial aspect, Wo have been assured by him that tho place pays, and having regard to the fact that the land is inferior in quality and that the prices for produce since the estate came into his possession have been exceptionally low, it is extremely gratifying to know that Mr Dixon is able to obtain a satisfactory, return from it.; No doubt he is fortunate in possessing locaf agents who, thoroughly understand how to make-tho most of a place of this description, but he is lucky in these times with all' these advantages tc find the placo remunerative. At any rate, we may congratulate ourselves that tho British M.P. now amongsl usis likely to speak well,of us ai home as a field for' investment oi English capital;. We are not enamoured of absentee proprietors anil would not;'-;eare to see too ; nianj New Zealand, properties in then hands, but at time there is undoubtedly a good opening here foi sparo capital; and should other gen' tlembn in"the position of Mr Dixon mako investments here we. shoult benefit largely. Nor do we'supposi that tbe.drawback. of absenteeisir would be a permanent difficulty, A man hf England who acquired ai estate here; would probably in the course of time place '.some, cadet ii his family in charge of it either ai proprietor or part proprietor. ; 'How ever this may be, the visit of Mi Dixbh at --'this particular juncture ti New Zealand will, do good. Publii confidence in our resources has o late years been somewhat' rudel; shaken at- homo, and we are sufferluj there froni a bad"i Mo,' We fee assured.that the.testimony pf M Dixon will be in our favor, and tha his position in England is such tha he will be able to give it in "qiiartei where it will be most desired.

It is a curious fact that in tho 'history of newspapers that in tho year 1768, when Mr John Mowbury, of St!' Paul's Churchyard, London, woll-known as tho compiler of and dealer in many littlo boolts for "young mastors and misses," projected a newspaper called Tho Uuivorsal Chronicle, or Weekly Gazette, ho engaged to allow Dr. Johnson a share in tho profits of that p;ipor, for which the latter was to famish a short essav on such,, subjects..of a .traiieral or temporary -.nature as niight : suit the taste of noivspapers, roadere, and distinguish his publication from its ?ouii. temporaries, The ronsou assigned for Mr Newberry's; wishing ,to" have an essay in his paper is exce'ediudy Oinious to modern readers ot those of four pages."
