The Wairarapa Daily WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 1891.

The Christchurch Press has recently given some striking details about labour in marvellous Melbourne. It quotes the Age to show that, great as were the sufferings endured by workers through the late strike, a severer ordeal is before them in the coming winter with slack trade, paralysed industries, and a general dearth of employment. This state of things is said to be due to a distrust of the leaders of the working classes. The Unions are masters of the situation, but no less than 5,000 of their members are unemployed, and have to compete for any chance work obtainable with 5,000 non-unionists who are also without occupation. There is plenty of money in the colony, but tne men who havi it never know when a labour troubL will arise, and wont venture to put it into circulation. Besides which the Trades Hall haye, by fixing up a uniform rate of wage 3, intensified the difficulty, and as one prominent official remarked their operations had become a curse. Owners of factories threaten to close their establishments altogether if the labour party worry them any further. The largest employer of labour in Melbourne has declared that the leaders of the Unionists are ruining tne viorkmen, and that there is a terribly hard winter before the arfcizan classes who have allowed themselves to be misled by individuals who were simply parasites upon the industrial army. The feeling of insecurity is said to be entirely caused by thelabour agitators. Finally Mr James Service, an eminent Victorian politician, has declared that if the labouring classes separate themselves from the rest of the community, and declare that the whole colony is to be ruled by their class j Government, there is no end to the trouble. This is the testimony that: comes from Victoria, not from Conservative organs, but from Radical and Democratic sources, and it is extremely interesting to us because the leaders of the working party in this colony are trying to exercise the baneful influence which is causing so much misery on the other side of the water, and the Government are trying to set up a class government to intensify the evi i In a small way an organised effort is being made in New Zealand to follow the lead given by the labour leaders of Victoria and to plunge this colony into the horrible straits to which Victoria is reduced. It is true that here we only count the unemployed by thehundred, whereas in Melbourne they are enumerated by the thousand, but as far as possible every effort is being made by the party now in power to bring this colony into the same condition, viz., one half of the working population highly paid and the other half starving.

They have a scenery Preservation Society ir New Plymouth, the objec of the organisation being to preserve natural bush from fare, etc.

A fishing company is projected at Wanganui, with a capital of £2,500, in .£1 shares. The company propose to employ a steamer and a smack in fishmg.

Madame Patey, the well known contralto, is a passenger by the Mariposa to Auckland. James Johnston, who murdered his wife and family at Ballarat, was executed on Monday morning. Owing to the state of his health he had to be wheeled on to the scaffold. When on the drop he stood perfectly firm, without any appearance of paralysis. The petition now being circulated and signed at Woodville for presentation to Parliament haß for its object not only that the time table should be altered, out that Parliament should cancel the agreement with the Commissioners, on the ground that they have caused public property to be wilfully destroyed. The Woodville Examiner says if the Minister for Public Works shrinks from bringing in a Bill to repeal the Aot by which the Railway Commissioners were appointed he will be branded as a political coward and knave, and one who used the Commissioners for political purposes to secure his election and a portfolio. Somehow we fancy the Hon. Richard will prefer the coward and knaye! Eeferring to the unemployed, an exchange says:— "The real old genuine street-corner-haunting unemployed vi&tim of a land-monopolising Tory Gov eminent, crushed by the property tax, does not like work. Not he. He is a Liberal, and has a claim on a Liberal Government." At the Featherston R.M. Court on Monday, two men named James Dalton and Charles Smith were finod 103 and '2os respectively, with costs, for being drunk and disorderly on Sunday night. In the case of "W. Abbott v H. Vennell, claim for £8 63 6d, balance of wapes due, judgment was given for the amount claimed with costs.

I In a town not very far from Napier I there was a meeting undertlie presidency of an athletic clergyman, when the I question of costume to be adopted by the football club came up for discuasion.Oue membor proposed that the uniform ' consist of a certain colour of cap, jersey, and stockings. The motion was about to be put when a wag present suggested that a team dressed in cap, jersey and stockings would certainly attract lots of attention.. but would present at least a singular appearance. The rev. chairman thereupon smiled, and then said solemnly : "I think, perhaps, we had better add a pair of trousers." So many hays been the improvements of late years, and to such a degree of perfection has dentistry been brought, that the science now ranks as a fine art, and its practioe, besides being of inestimable benefit t > the human race, is in many ways highly interesting. To have the process explained by which a new set of teeth is manufactured and fitted is a revelation to those who have not undergone the expenenoe. The shape of the mouth is obtained by the introduction into it of warm gutta-poroba on a small silver tray. An impression is taken with this pliable composition. Subsequently a plaster cast and a model in wax are made from the firßt mould, and finally the artificial plate is manufactured iu which the new teeth are affixed. These notes have been made by our Wellington representative, who was courteously invited by Mr W. B. Hall, the well known experienced dentist of Willis street, to visit his rooms. Mr Hall, who has practised dentistry for 15 years, turns out highly finished work in vulcanite, in celluloid, in platinum, and in gold, and his ability, which has obtained frequent recognition privately, and in publio by the award of a silver medal at the last Wellington Exhibition, is auch that perfectly fitting sets of teeth may be absolutely depended upon, which will keep in place withcut springs, and solely by suction. The appearance is also most natural. Mr Hall's rooms, it should be mentioned, are handsomely famished, and are fitted with the latest and most approved appliances, He has, too, an efficient meohanical staff, occupying workshops at the rear of his building. As he intends visiting Masterton shortly, according to a notice in another column,, his skill will be more immediately available, and will no doubt be adequately recognised both by previous patients and by residents generally.
