When a few years ago Sir Julius Vogel returned to this Colony arid undertook to resuscitate it, he applied lor, aid to Mr Ormond, The member for. Napier,- before giving his assistance,; dosired -to know, j the means by. which Sir Julius proposer] to restore prosperity to New Zealand, land when he 'discovered that they were insufficient to bring about the end in view, he refused to associate himself with a policy of " illusions." Time proved the judgment of Mr Ormond to be sound, and the expectations of Sir Julius to be visionary, The Colony now, as then, is seeking

guidance, but it is less eager at the present timo to take it from illusionists. - We are still ■ asking in the language of old " who will show, us any good, 1 ' and there is at least one modest politician who steps to the front and replies "I will."-; Mr George Fisher, M.H.8., is reported to be a man of brainß, and a manifesto recently published by him gives his remedy for the ills to which we are, heir. The : fdilQwing js flje epitome of his policy:— ■ • ij

'ld opon'np lani for settlement jto retain oar population, if we cannot increase it; to encourage our .manufactures and industries; to put heart into tho people; to givo life to the community, as .the Exhibition: has giyep life to the people 01.

Putting the pepplo is all very well, but no| illusions will answeri as a stimulus'. No'doubt Dunedin has plucked up coui;Qge,-but then :j all the pocltet money of'the Colon'yjwas spent there last summer. This was no illusion, and the City of , the South has had substantial grounds ; for, rejoicing. If Mr Fisher could show, how the benefit-whioli was conferred upon Dunedin could be extended to the Colony, W3 would be grateful to him, : but his remedy does not go as far as this.
