The men would elect one of their number to transact the business tor them. The group would do the work in its own way, but its members would, of course receive a greater re- muneration for their time the $0011” ‘they finished it. If the man did nor. own the tools necessary to do the work, the government would lend them and charge for their use. The govern- ment would, from time to time, ad- vance money to the men, sufficient for the maintenance of their families and on the completion of the jol: and its appmval by the engineer Would make the payment in full. In this way the men would ‘get for themselves the pro- fit that otherwise would go to the contractor. The system of constructing public works by “co~operative contract,” as it is called, had been adopted as a regular and permanent policy by the govern- ment. Under this system, works like railways and highways, which were constructed by the general government were divided into small sections by the government engineer in charge. Each 1 section would be appointed to a group‘ of laborers, six or eight in number, who would l The result, however, was quite con- ltrary to what had been feared. The 'women Voted the Liberal ticket so generally as to give the Liberals an over whelmmg and unp.ecedented major- ity, apparenLIy intrenching them in power beyond any reasonable prospect of overthrow. But. the fears of the liquor interest were justified, for the vote of the women was cast almost solidly against them and a‘ parlia- ment favorable to anti-liquor legis- lation was chosen. The women also looked very carefully to the personal character of the candidates and voted accordingly, so that it was shown; that their influence was a. purifying one in politics. As to the results of woman sufl‘rage, Mr. Copithorne was emphatic in pro- nouncing them thoroughly admirable. It was a remarkable fact that the enactment of the woman suffrage law was really due to the aid given by members of the conservative minority in the upper house of parliament. The Liberals were in control of the gavern- ment. \Vhile apparently in favor of the measure, the government was in reality opposed to it, and secretly ‘ worked rgainst it. The motive of this was that it was felt that while in prin- ciple woman suffrage was a. liberal measure, women were conservative by nature and to give them the ballot might endanger the ascendency of the Liberal party. 'The government at that time was strongly under the in- fluence of the liquor interest, which was naturally opposed to women suf frage, and took pains to impress this fear upon those in power. Adult Suffrage was universal, with- out either educational or sex qualifica- tion. The lack of an educational qualification was practically no drawâ€" back, for the reason that there was no illiterate vote to speak of . The law permitted a polling officer to accompany ’3 person who could not read English? ‘into the booth and aid him in PREPARING HIS BALLOT. About the only persons to whom this practically applied were Chinameu. These, while they could not read Eng- lish, were of course not illiterate. and t1!“ law was very seldom violatea. A system of minority representation, by whxch the voter could express his preferences for candidates by first, second and third choices, and so on, was now being agitated. It was Very easy to become a citizen in New Zealand. Only persons speak ing foreign tOngues were regarded as aliens. An American, like an Eng- lishman, would not be so regarded Six months’ residence in the colony only was requisite to citizenship, and, although formal naturalization was legally requisite, the vote of an Eng- lish-speaking person would not bel likely to be challenged. The ballot system was superior to the Australian, in providing a “double check” as a safeguard against impersonation. 'In- stead of checking the names of the persons voted for, the names of the persons n0t voted for were marked off with lines across them; the ballot was gummed in one corner on the back, and the person voting wrote his name in this ccrner. The oflicial at the ‘ ballot box,on receiving the ballot would 1 fold over the name and seal it at this ‘ place. In case of charges of imper- ! ,sonation, the ballots would be exam- < ined and compared with the voting ‘ lists. Should the same name be found E e 1 V \l .- r1? \VM.

Among other things he says :â€"â€"“If you smoke or chew to- bacco and want to give it. up, lay aside the skin of your next: orange, let; it drv for a day or two and whenever you feel ‘ a craving for a smoke put a small piece ‘ in your mouth.

Mr. Copithorne expressed his aston- ishment that a people so intelligent as the Americans should carry party pol- itics into municipal affairs, which had ‘no proper relation to party politics. Such a. thing was unheard of in New Zealand. Municipal elections were always conducted on the ground of municipal policy regarding certain define propositions, as to whether, for instance, a. system of sewers or water works should be built, and as to what persons were best qualified to conduct municipal afl'airs.-â€"-Boston Herald.

He would then work his way up through the various grades of the service, according to ability and merit, as in- dicated by successive examinations for promotion. The civil service in New Zeaiaud was exceptionally large by reason of the governmental admin ‘ istration of the railways, telegraph and telephone, as “well as the mail service, and the existance of an admir- able system of government life insur- ance.

For example, if there was an election pending the government might become suddenly impressed with the necessity for public works, such as a new rail- : way, in some district where the party in power was weak.

It was a 50-acre farm, and, having been en- gk ed in growing tobacco in Kentucky, ewbury set apart a small part of the ‘ farm for that purpose. N ewbury was the first man to start tobacco cultivation in the neighborhood, and his venture occas- ioned quite an interest, and he in conse- quence became well known. His wife died about 15 years ago and he married a Miss Martin, a family of large connection in that vicinity. He had no family by either wife. About nine or ten years ago; he sold his farm and took up his residence in Tottenham, where he bought a com-l fortablc home, and has since lived a re- tired life. The young woman referred to as his niece is a niece of his wife and has resided with N ewbury for several years. About three years ago Newbury had a protracted illness, and has been rather under the weather since, and has been living a sedentary hfe. It is supposed that brooding over his illness rendered ‘hirn temporary insane, as he had always been regarded by his neighbors as a good living and church going man. Deceased was between 65 and 70 years of age, stoutly built, and of a retiring disposition. He was, however, a very determined man. Newbury was an attendant of the Pres- byterian church. He is believed to have been worth $8,000 or $10,000. His wife was 45 or 50 years of age. Mr. J. R. Bond. druggist, Young-Col- lege streets, was for several years a neigh- bor of the N ewbury family in Tottenham, and knew all the members intimately. “Aw-ck.-â€" AA __ , A I .< __A 7 _V__ __â€"v â€"-v VIOWL V’IAHUHC Coroner Law, of Beeton was summoned and an inquest: will be held at: the Maple Leaf hotel this evening.
