The Wairarapa Daily. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 13, 1889. The Delegates Meeting.

Tun delegates meeting yesterday vra emphatic iu its condemnation of th working of our present poor law, an we quite agree with the sontiment so unanimously expressed in opposi fan to it. We are not quite suk however, that the delegates prosen realised their responsibilities, . ] is, perhaps, hardly consistent fo leading public men to resist perfectly legal claim, nor do the set the example which Justices < the Peace ought to show when the denounce a law, to which Her mos Gracious -Majesty has assented, a iniquitous and its working as swindle. It is, perhaps, uudesirabl that the public, should bo taught t deride and challenge an Act c Parliament, because as a rule th measure of our civilisation and intel ligeuce is the respect we;pay and th allegiance we give to the laws of th country. From this point of viei the gentlemen who met yesterda were almost like a pack of rebels setting a shocking example, but i may be said in extenuation of thei conduct that they faithfully repre sented the popular feeling, and thai to be consistent with their previou action, they were compelled to go 01 to the bitter end, The delegate havo discharged the function tho, were specially charged with, but i might have been bettor if they hai taken a more philosophical view o the action of tlio United Djstric board. Statesmen have deolarei that the best way of repealing a bai law is to enforce it, and the delegate; might well have borne in mind thii profound political axiom-and passei a- vote of thanks to tho Board-fo: assisting to attain the end which the; had in. view. If' the. conference instead of fizzing out as an indigna tion meeting, had disoiiseed tin necessity of new legislation for th sick and poor, the extent to whicl poverty and sickness should b relieved in country districts, th funds from whjoh such relief shoul be derived, and the hs.BJ; methods c administering the relief, some yalua ble assistance might have lieen give: to the Assembly in the task which i will have to undertake in the comin session.

During the past two years not less than . 178 British subjects have been treated , gratuitously by M Pasteur. 'Tha aver- . age mortality in such cases under ordin- J ary treatment is from IB to 1G per cent. In M.' Pasteur's hands .the mortality has ', been decreased to 3.3 per cent, Other ! Governments whose subjects have pro- ■ fited by bis care have offered pecuniary assistance to tho Pasteur Institute, where patients of all nations are, receiv • eu freo of charge. Sir Henry Roscoo has brought the matter undor tho notice of the Chancollor of the Exchequer with a suggestion that her Majesty', Government should join jn the international subscription. An extraordinary scene was witnessed in the Portsmouth County Court recently A caso of. alleged breach of contract hy tenants who left because the houae was infested with fleas was being tried, and for tho second tinio tho jury found for plaintiff.- Judge Leonard directed thetn after their finding to .answer certain questions. The foreman declined, whereupon the judge said ho would give , them six hours to consider: He was leaving the court when tho foreman of the jury insisted on leaving also. The registrar' interposed to prevent him doing bo, whereupon the judge discharged tho jury and ordered a new . .trial,

Tor the credit of humanity (says thol London Daily Mows) tho Sherburn murderer has been proouounced insane. It is impossible to magnify the brutality of his crime, it was matricide, revolting in any case; but in Mountain's case peculiarly and atrociously revolting. The man lived at a public-homo—tlio Travellers Rest. ' Alter tho bouse • was closed one night ho kicked his mothoiv stripped hor,' and placed, her bruisod

body on the firo. A servant, girl, paralyzed with horrorand fear—for the brute threatened to treat her in the same way—could raiso no alarm till next mornins. Insanity alone could account for a crime so monstrous, The mißfortone istbat a monster of this character should not sooner have been placed under restraint,

On Monday wo (Napier Telegraph) were shown a very rough and heavy bullet that was this morning takon from the leg of a man,' formerly in the armed constabulary, -named Joseph Hos;aii. It appears that Hogan was wounded, in I the fisdit at JNgutuotomahu, about eighty miles inland from Waiiganui, in .Tilly, 18C8. Bogan was then serving under Colonel Macdonuell. Lately flogan felt considerable pain, and when on horseback could feel a hard substance pressing against the saddle. He consulted Dr Spencer on Saturday, when it was arranged to extract the bullet at tho Hospital, where tho operation was successfully performed, The bullet is a heavy rough cast ball, ovidently mado by the Maoris, . The sinking of artesian wolls in Canterbury is gradually- beiny reduced to a ■science Of late yuan manual labor has given place to steam, and now one of the oldest well sinkers in the province has introduced another apparatus, which it is calculated will work equally as well as steam aud save as much labor. Tho now. driving machino constructed by Mr John Smith, of St Albans, does not appear, to. bo. at all complicated, and the mode of working it is explained, should ensuro the sinking of an ordinary ' artesian well-without risk of breakage. Tho monkey travels in two radius rods, ivhich serves the purpose of tho tail on the ordinary wheel monkey, and it can bo raised in order to give it a drop of some six feet. This long drop, however, Mr Smith has dispensed with, because of the danger of breakage of pipes. Levers are affixed carrying heavy weights These assist the nionkey, and as it strikes with short but rapid strokes, the weights help, very to force down the'pipe instead of it being driven in by unnecessarily severe blows. The apparatus as at present built can be worked with the expenditure of. very little labor, and when .the block and taoklo is supplemented by a second motion the ropo will release itself. Under these circumstances one man can perform the duties which, m the ordinary way, require threo or four men, Mr Smith is confident of the-utility of bis invention both for pipe and pilodriving, ;md expects it, by reason of,its, laborsaving qualification, and the absence of risk from breakage, to successfully establish' itself in the market,—Telegraph. ■-"'" ," '" .■ Tub manufacturing departments aLTe.
