If the telegraphed report of Mr A. W, Hogg's speech at Pabiatun be correct, lie has presented a strong case for the party which he repro sents, but this case must be further tested by tho truth of the statements which he has made. Wo deny in toto his contention that the Government has saved £41,000 in departmental expenses, Paying heavy retiriug allowances to Civil Servants and then re-engaging them to do necessary work is not an economy, If the new and numberless appointments of fresh men of the right color are also considered, it is more probable that the Government has squandered a hundred thousand pounds than that it has saved forty. That it has saved a single sixpence is an absurdity, but fear there is grave reason to believe that it has wasted on enormous sum of money, and that some day a heavy imposition of new taxes will have to be levied to cover the prodigality of the present outlay. We also demur to Mr Hogg's assertion that the new taxation "relieres the former and the man of small twins, The men who are really let off are owners of town properties, and in many instances the wealthy residents in big cities. Mr Hogg says the burden is now put on the shoulders of the wealthy landowner ; Mr Buolmnan, a wealthy landowner, says he will pay no more under the new tnxation than under the old—which is right ? Sftilers will probably find this out for themselves when the new taxes are collected. Till they have paid them they may well suspend their judgment.

Naturally a great doal of soreness is felt at tho shameful manner in whioh tho country has boon "sold" by the Govorn« ment ovor tho Women's Franchise question, and tho N.Z. Mothodist, wenotico, intends publishing at an early date a list of the "rats" who have figured so dssgracefully in this business so that its readers may know who the men are who have shown thomßelves so signally wanting in the first principles of political honesty. That journal also hopes that, wherever practicable, opportunity will bo taken by resolution at a publio moeting to protest against such a glaring breach of faith on the part of tho Government. A meeting of members and intending members of the Oriental Cricket Olub (Juniors) ffflfl held in Mr James Webb's Queen-sireetshop lastmght. A fairly large number attended, ,1.

A little six.year.old son of Mr Hunter, of f.ketahuna, caused his parents great alarm on Saturday night.

A JXATTBRIHO VERDlCT.—Speaking of one of the most noted of colonial specialities, the press Bays"Sharland'a Baking Powder deserves more than a passing notice, for the "Moa" Brand Baking Powder enjoys a reputation second to none. From one end- of New Zealand to the other, large orders are reoeived for this popular brand. Even in the most out of toe way districts the careful bouse«wife, poeaessed with the laudable ambition to make her bread and her scones better than her "neighboura's buys Sharland's Baking Powder, and triumphs _ over the few of her less sensible sisters, who, from a mistaken sense of ecqnomy, buy apparently cheaper branda. The recipp of 9 flood Baking Powder Is anything but a.'secret, but how very few manufacturers use, as Messrs Sharland & i'o. do, the best only of materials, carefully tesfed. before mixture and exuptly proportionod." Readers, who .require an economical, satisfactory apd healtbfal Baking Powder, cannot do better than use the Jloa" fraud—

The Evening Pross says that the apoeohes delivered et the Kigg banquet on Saturday night were not remarkablo for originality or ability. The guest of the evening indulged his fancy by de. picting the Utopia which was coining for tho working classes, and with a strange fatuity, seemed to imagine that it qould be brought about by legislation. Sir Robert Stout talked platitudes about "our country," ond tho moral exaltation of tho people, and said ho believed that tho lattor would in p,irt be achieved by tho granting of the Women's Frauchiso. He made no reference, however, to the shameful treachery of the Ministry, of which ho is thodrynurso, in regard to this momentous question, nor to the charges lovolled ngaiiißt himself by Mr Fish last session, Tho Acting* Promier had something to say, 1 and of course it was mainly devoted to praiso of tho Government in whioh ho is such a burning and shining light.

Their circulation, it is stated, has reached 47,600,000, and the General adds, "There is absolutely not one advertisement for soap or mustard."
