The non-borrowing policy of the present Government is very commendable, at the same time in a new country a judicious medium between reckless borrowing and non-borrowing is llie more profitable. Still if we have to elect between borrowing under unfavourable conditions and non-borrowing the latter ought to bo

ureferred. Borrowed millions are un>

popular at the present lime, but it is only just to bear in mind that the present prosperity of the country arises out of past borrowings. Our sheet anchor now is our exports, and

these depend upon cheap and rapid carriage from the interior to the ports, Eliminating political lines and deviations from the pub''c works scheme it hns proved ad\ <itageous to the Colony, We may lie thankful for the ! present that thero are no borrowed million 1 ) to spend because underthe cooperative system now in yogue the; could not be made reproductive, On the other hand, any railway extension which could bo shown to be reproductive, would pay to make out of borrowed money, It is not the legitimate demand for reproductive works which may bo feared, but the pressute ' always applied for works of an unproductive character when loan money is available, The borrowing policy is now suspended, but it is a mistake lo assume that it will never be resumed. The settlement of the country will, in time, necessitate further loans, If, ' and we fear this is impossible, an impartial commission could be appointed to ascertain the sections of railway and the arterial lines of road really needed for the efieotivo settlement of such portions of the interior of both Islands as are ripo for settlement, it would be a prudent thing to borrow the amount needed for the work, even though the sum amounted to a million a year for a series of years, but with local rings agitating in different centres of the colony for works of an extravagant or doubtful character, a policy of this kind would be attended with grave danger, If Sir Bohert Stout is ever ' calkd upon to lead a Government he , will probably resort to borrowing, for , even in tho Liberal party there are a : oonsiderablenumberofrepresentatives ' who recognise the ultimate necessity < of it and who would welcome a states- , manlike project to complete, really ] essential public works without taking ] up political railways which.cannot'be profitably executed.

Such diseases as aothma, croup, diphthuria, and chronic bronchitis aro unfortunately only too common, even in their fair country of New Zealand, and the prevalence being admitted, it be* hoves sufferers to avail themselves of accredited remedies of acknowledged worth. Foremost in this category might be placed the "New Cures" of Dr Macbean Stewart, which as remedial agents in any of the complaints we havo mentionod ere said to be without equal in tho histoiy of medical specifics. They have already achieved on their merits a large sale throughout the Colony, and no doubc as they become still rtore widely known the output will assume greater proportions than ever. The "New Curo" may be obtained through any chemist in this district, and the public should refuse to accept any substitute should such be offered The "Now Cure for Asthma" deserves special mention.

The following opinion expressed by Sir 6, S. Whittnore concerning Colonel Fox's report on the Permanent and Volantoer force will be read with great ititerest:—'l think Colonel Fox's repott is a very valuable one. 1 am not aware how the perauiial remarks about officers came to be published. In tho service such reports would beconfidentinl. But as Oolonel Fox had time to make an inspection corps by corps throughout the Colony, and evidently knew what he was about, the report doserret great onsideration, How far tho force has deteriorated since 1 was connected with It Ido not know. But in my time an adequate capitation was given, the objejt being to induce men to enrol, aa the country seemed to bo in danger. In those days arms, equipment, reßervo ammunition were all wanting. With a tithe of the »amo numbers Colonel Foi was quite right in asking to have them supplied. It is nnfortunato that tho country ean only afford a few troops or Volunteers. But iftt limits itself to a

surely they should bo as efficient as possible. 1 believe Colonel Fox to be the right man in the right place; and while Ido nut venture to criticise Mb remarks on the defences, for which Sir W. Jervois mi solely responsible, I think, if he is supported, he will do a •great deal towards making our Volun* teors effective by his fearless roport,'Times. ~.,.,-•,■•.
