Wairarapa Daily Times. [ESTABLISHED 1878.] TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 19, 1893.

The visit ot His Excellency tho Governor on Thursday next is a very gratifying event, associated as it is with the opening of the Musterton Boys' Club. A somewhat similar Olub exists in Wellington, has done much good there and has had the hearty approval and sympathy of the Governor. Lord Glasgow, we believe, understand? all about boys' clubs, takes a genuino interest in them and therefore we shall not only have the pleasure of welcoming Her Majesty s representative', but also of receiving a distinguished personage who is in earnest in the work of training young colonials into good colonists. It has been recognised in Masterton lor some time past that young people, misled by evil example, are apt to take very lax views of their dutieß, and responsibilities, and to develop a tendency towards larrikinism. We regard the Boys' Club as eminently calculated to counteract dangers of this character. Under its auspices the good association which makes good manners will supersede the evil association that corrupts them. Many earnest men in Masterton desire to see the tuwn ruled and controlled by self respecting men and by self respecting boys, and this new Olub strengthens their hands. The presence of His Excellency on Thursday next is also an encouragement to their efforts, and we hope to see the reception accorded to him one that will do honor to the loyalty of Masterton, and also mark the appreciation of its residents of the high personal charaoter of Her Majesty's representative,

The fourth waggon to the order of Mr Skey has just beon completed by Messrs Robinson Bros,, of Carterton. Two of these have beon fittofl with wheels made on the premises, of wood and tired with heavy eight-inch tires. This has been i done to test their suitability as against the all iron wheels imported. The iron for the locally mado tires was specially drawn At the Onehunga ironworks, and they are probably the hcaviesMires yet welded in the North Island, as up to the i present six inch wheels have been considered sufficiently broad for all purposes.

The annual examination of tbe Masterton School will take placo in about throe weeks time, and as many of the scholars are distressed at the prospect of being abi-ent on that occasion, Mr W. H.

This wonderful remedy seems to have speedily gained a reputation for iteolf in Canterbury and other districts, where, Mr Webber informs us, the, sales are very large. It is not unknown in the Masterton district, and from the testimonials the firm possess from Borne of the leading horse trainers, livery stable keepers and athletes, in the Colony, show that the sales in this district should be good. From en advertisement elsewhere, it- will be seen that this ointment is to be obtained from Mr J. Elliott, and Mr T. H. Thompson, 3addlers, and MrT. G. Mason, cheiuißt.

The present Government is thought very well of in England, and confidence in New Zealand in quite restored. It would therefore, be a great mistake to have any change of Government, and the way to keep thorn in is to return candidates who, will support them. For this reason, if I am out in time, 1 shall oome forward as a supporter of the present Government, and contest the Uawke's Bay seat,"

The delay in obtaining the Governor's assent to the Electoral Bill is inexplicable (says the Post) considering howimporbant it la that as much time pi possible should be allowcu forthe enrolment of women before the dissolution takes place.

The coast botwien By the and Dungeness, says an English paper, has suddenly become infested with wasps, which are causing the inhabitants a great deal of inconvenience. The insects attack the flocks,- At Dymohurch two iheep were stung to death, the insects attacking the throats of the animals, causing them great Buffering and eventually choking them. We notice that a remarkably advantageous offer is buing given to the residents of Wairarapa by Mr T, E. Price, photographer. For a given period coupon tickets are to be sold, which will enable the holders to have sittings at any of Mr Price's studios, and on payment of a further buui of 18s CI they will be supplied with one dozen enamel finished cabinet photographs and an enlargement 15x12. The low figuie at which this is offered, taken together with the recognised ability of Mr Price and his assistants for turning out his work in the highest styles of the photographers' art, must ensure him auch a rush for coupon tickets that he will be kept extremely busy for many months to come. Full particulars appear in another column, and we understand that a trained staff of canvassers will be employed to show samples of the work and sell coupons in various farts of the district, A deputation, representing a number of Italian residents in Wellington, with MrJ.Genoias interpreter, and accompanied by eighteen members of the Bouse uf Representatives, waited on the Premier yesterday with reference to the c»Bfl of the convict Louis Chemis, The Bon Mr Seddon, in reply, said that this matter was one of serious moment, The petition reflected groat credit on those who had undertaken this duty on behalf of their fellow-countryman. This was a matter of too much importance for him to deal with in Cabinet, In considering this case, the Government would have no new facts before them, It was a question of going back to the time when the trial took place; and it was a most difficult matter, A new trial at the expityoffive years would be unprece« dented, and be questioned very muoh its correctness, He agreed that if a Court of Criminal Appeal had been in existence at the time, the uncertainty that surrounded this onso would have been removed, The sooner the law was amended in this direotion the hotter IfOhemiswere guilty, the full sontenue of the law ought to have been carried out; If he were innocent, he ought not to bo in prison. Ab there wera bo many members present, it would no doubt be said that political pressure was being brought to bear apon the Governmonc in the matter, He was sure that no member of tho House was there from other than purely conscientious motives, but he would have preferred to meet tho Italian deputation apart from tho members of tho House.—Times, Suoppiko at Te Aro House means getting the choice of the latest stock of new ashionab'e Drapery, It means you are buying at the lowest cash price and getting a bonus discount, We make special efforts to please our couniry customers.
