The Wairarapa Daily SATURDAY, MAY 24, 1890. Borrowing within the Colony.

The Ministry, their spokesman being tho Hon Mr Fergus, have at last indicated a policy which we-think will be favorably received by settlers throughout the colony, The waste lands of the Crown require to be surveyed and settled, and a large area of good Native land is ripe for occupation. To survey, settle, buy, and

road theso lands requires money, which is not available, and the revenue from tho disposal of e.uoli lands will not oomnin with sufficient speed to covers within a temporary period, the charges incidental to I placing it in the market. It is agreed that borrowing in the English market must ceas9 for some yearsta com,MtliJsthoughlikr.msary funds reguiredto |pßate settle-j merit can be borrowed within, (fifj colony and be charged against the vevenua subsequently received from- 1 the proceeds of the lands benefitted by the expenditure. This idea is by no raw $ new one, but the application of it, if tlw proposals of tho Government find favor In tho colony, will be a new departure. The policy is i distinctly one of self-reliance, and is | based on a satisfactory assumption that there is in the Colony an accumulation of wealth which is available for such an investment. If the proposed financial arrangement be carnal put it will do New Zealand, an immense amount of good, for it will show that without liavipg recourse to the London market the Colony is able to take a progressive step in. developing the productive! capabilities of its soil. Tho idea is about the most sensible one that has emanated from the Ministry sjnge it took office, and ought to meet with ; acceptance both in town and country. Our big cities know that they are too large for the country at iMf back, and that unless the latter can be ■'stimulated they must Buffet', "A vigorous effort to settle land on the ines hid down by the Ministry is, 'wo fee' sure, the very host method that can be adopted |o restoro prosperity to. the Colony,

Wo remind our sporting readers of the annual meeting of the North Wairarapa Hack Racing Club to be held on tho Opalii coiu'so on Monday next. B.ory arrangement has been made for the convenience of tho public, and with fino weather tho attendance should he very largo. Pearson's Private Band has been engaged to play selections on tho lawn during tho day. A deal of interest is being centred in'

tho football matoh which takes place on . Monday next between the MaHerton | and Wellington Clubs, and there will | therefore d'mbtless be a large attendance ; of tho public. ■ The inatjh commences , on the Worksop road ground at 2,30 , p.m. Wo hear on tho authority of tho Wairarapa Observer that the Wairarapa South County Council have abandoned their appeal against the assessment mado this year by tho Wellington and Wa'.ranpa District Charitable Aid Board. They flnd they have no option but to pay the amount demanded, £515. It is with' pleasuro wo record the fact that hitherto untenanted houses in Masterton are being rapidly filled up, and there .is every probability of ut revival in .business setting in generally in the town. Tho market for labor appears to! be in a fair condition, and very few—oxcopting those who have a partiality for "loafing' I —need be out of work during the winter mouths. The' complimentary dance given at' the T«uoru ; last night by Mr Leo, the well'kuown and popular boat of the Taueru Hotol, passed off most successfully. A numbe. 1 of ladioa and gentlemen from Masterton holpcd to swell tho gathering, and with those who wore preaont from the immediate vicinity made quite a large party. After supper, Mr A, Thompson in a short and pithy apeeoh, called for a vote of thanks to the host aud hostess, which was heartily responded to. Dancing was kept up until i o'clock in the morning, when the festivo. ones ( separated, haviug all i thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Music was provided by Messrs Minilio, Croft, G, and A, Kussell, and M'Konzio, The influenza epidemic is playing . havoc in Masterton at the preannt timo. Not only has it chosen for its viotims the teachers in the public and infant schools (the lattor haviug but one teacher yesterday), and other citizens holding responsible positions, but it has actually, we should hope as a last resort, invaded our composing room. Tho jrippisfc liend has our best,wishes whilst paying its attention to our "coinps," but for a lively experience we commend tho Russian."sneezer" to oursulphurisod "Devil."

A remarkablo incident occurred in tho Mayor's Court at Gainesville, Texas.

She then thrashed them all three and drove them put of the court, of which she retained possession for three hours, The victims of her violence aro much disfigured about the face. •
