The Wairarapa Daily TUESDAY, JUNE 24, 1890.

When Earl Onslow first came to New Zealand he went up in publio opinion like a rocket, and if recently, in certain quarters, he has come down like a stiok, the re-action ought not to be a surprise. New Zealanders were pleased, to receive a new Governor " bearing a noble name, born in the purple and carrying a full purse, and His Lordship was gratified with the cordial reception extended to him as well as the; enjoyable climate and beautiful scenery 6f : bis new dominion, Latterly the eminently satisfactory relations which subsisted between'the admired Governor and-the admirers appear to baye undergone a ohanga,- and it has been rumored that His Excellency comtemplated an''early departure from the'colony,'also at the last state reception'the courtiers of the Empire City liadja bad time, Now it is denied that tbe.Eari is anxious to sbake'the dust of New Zealand off his feet,'aodwe may'expsot that he will .with such a .'reassurance again be regarded with some favor by the community.

Says'-the Napier Telegraph';— "We think every one, will' sympathise with the prayer', of the petitioners to the Municipal.Council in reference to the Salvation Army. In vain has the publio

waited for. the police to do their duty aud suppress the drum nuisance, and failing that' a by-law becomes a heoessity. If the Salvation "Army formed any considerable section of the community, its noisy proceedings would have some claim to indulgence.' But the Army'is nothing of the kind; it is merely an. insignificant gathering of buthusioats who, perhaps, might be better described as lunatics, On Wednesday night, for instance, in pouring rain, the Army numbered three.men; one carried a, torch, another blew' a cornet, and the third banged a drum. ;It was a torn-fool's exhibition in. connection with a dingerous; noise. It is the sublimeat absurdity to suppose that the antics of the Army are of any spiritual value; on the oontrary, they bring, true religion into contempt, in the saine way a; the tfau-hau prophets protty well killed Christianity in Maoridom through their grotesque fooling on the borderland of heathenism.. The Army may do good in the comparative privacy of their barraoks, and as-missionaries and visitors; but their street parades and band accompaniments are provocative of nothing but illfeeling and comtempt. 1 ' Uur readers will be nterested to know that Messrs L.
