Fix this textHospitals in Cities.
Fix this textAt St, Vincent’s Hospital, Darlinghurst, is a
Fix this textdead-house, and in close proximity to that dead-
Fix this texthouse is a row of private dwellings, the owner
Fix this textwhereof, judging from various reports which have
Fix this textappeared in the papers and from a petition for
Fix this textwhich he is at present procuring signatures, is
Fix this textsorely troubled. Tenants, when first they take
Fix this textpossession of the dwellings in question, rather
Fix this textlike the situation; but the sight of the dead-
Fix this texthouse, of which a charming view can apparently
Fix this textbe obtained from the adjoining balconies, and the
Fix this texthospital drainage, which is described as being
Fix this textmalodorous in the extreme, frighten them away.
Fix this textThe proprietor seeks the aid of the local residents
Fix this textin endeavouring to obtain redress of what is un-
Fix this textdoubtedly a substantial grievance. St. Vincent’s
Fix this textHospital is reputfdly a well-managed institution
Fix this textin most regards, and it is not too much to expect
Fix this textof its authorities that the drainage will at once
Fix this textbe improved, and that any slight defect in the
Fix this textmortuary arrangements will be remedied, so that
Fix this textin future offence may be given to no one. How-
Fix this textever, we are among those who regard
Fix this textwith disfavour the old-world system
Fix this textof confining within the boundaries
Fix this textof a city the whole of its hospital
Fix this textaccommodation. We hope soon to
Fix this texthear of the conductors of St. Vin-
Fix this textcent’s being in a position to estab-
Fix this textlish a first-class hospital in a locality
Fix this textwhich will give patients the benefit
Fix this textof pure air, Nature’s most potent
Fix this textmedicine. Our idea is that no hos-
Fix this textpital patients should ever breathe
Fix this textthe tainted atmosphere of the
Fix this textcity but those whose removal to the
Fix this textcountry severe accident or sudden
Fix this textand violent illness precludes. We
Fix this textare sOrryjto see that a large hospital
Fix this textis to be built on the site of the old
Fix this textInfirmary, and that the ordinary
Fix this textclass of patients will continue to be
Fix this textdomiciled amidst noise and dust
Fix this textand bad air, instead of being passed
Fix this texton from a receiving hospital into
Fix this textthe country. If politicians would
Fix this textonly see the sick poor located on
Fix this textthe ascent to the Blue Mountains
Fix this text—not necessarily near their own
Fix this textprivate residences —the efforts of
Fix this textthe hospital doctors would not so
Fix this textoften be in vain.
Fix this textPolice Rewards.
Fix this textAfter a reign of some t wo years in
Fix this textStrathbogie, the “king of the ranges”
Fix this textand his fellows have at length shared
Fix this textthe fate of all outlaws ; and it is a
Fix this textremarkable fact that this end was
Fix this textarrived at just before the expiration
Fix this text°f the period during which the
Fix this textreward remained available. Different
Fix this textopinions have existed from the first
Fix this textas to the propriety of offering this
Fix this textreward ; in the Assembly Mr.
Fix this textFitzpatrick, as will be remembered,
Fix this textobjected on behalf of the Opposition
Fix this text°n the ground of its probable de-
Fix this textmoralising effect on the police. And
Fix this textnow public opinion seems to have
Fix this textdecided, in view of some of the inci-
Fix this textdents attending the suppression of
Fix this textthe outlaws, that bis prediction has
Fix this textbeen fairly verified. The circum-
Fix this textstances are too fresh in the minds
Fix this textof readers to require recapitulation
Fix this texthero, and the conduct of the police
Fix this textln the matter has already been fully
Fix this textcommented on. It is universally a-
Fix this textgreod that their attitude throughout,
Fix this textwith a few exceptions, was apparently
Fix this textbat of men who were conserving
Fix this texttheir energies for the future advo-
Fix this textcation of their respective claims to
Fix this texta 9 baro of the £B,OOO and saving their
Fix this textmanly forms intact for its better
Fix this textenjoyment. Now we have too high
Fix this texta sense of the value of the force as a
Fix this textwhole, both in this colony and in Victoria, to desire
Fix this textto see a reckless imprudence shown in the discharge
Fix this textofsuch a hazardous undertaking as that under
Fix this textnotice. But we cannot help thinking at the
Fix this textsame time, that had the police engaged lit
Fix this textGlenrowan on Monday last displayed as much
Fix this textself-abnegation for the sake of duty—and be it
Fix this textadded, as much physical courage—as the clergy-
Fix this textman who figured so creditably to himself on the
Fix this textscene, the vindication of justice would have
Fix this textlost much of that element of the humiliating and
Fix this textundignified which has unfortunately character-
Fix this textised it in connection with the long delayed fate
Fix this textof the Strathbogie bushrangers. We have no
Fix this textsympathy with the outlaws —they chose the
Fix this textmanner of their own death. Nor do we charge
Fix this textthe police with cowardice, for after Mr. Hare
Fix this textwas wounded they had no capable commander.
Fix this textMen, like sheep, only want a leader. The men
Fix this textwere there; the leader was absent.
Fix this textManufactures and Agriculture.
Fix this textPekhax j s the most striking feature of the social
Fix this textpolity of the colonies is to be found in the
Fix this textmanner of the distribution of the population.
Fix this textFormed into agglomerations more or less
Fix this textlarge, our people seem to prefer the mutual
Fix this textintercourse and traffic of the township to the less
Fix this textexciting but more productive and ultimatelv
Fix this textsatisfactory industry of agriculture. The
Fix this texttraveller in the interior cannot fail to remark
Fix this textthe neglect which allows the prolific acres around
Fix this texthim to lie fallow, while in the larger towns on
Fix this texthis route many amongst the working classes,
Fix this textalarmed for the future of their order, earnestly
Fix this textadvocate Protection to native industries, vainly
Fix this textthinking that a guarantee of employment may thus
Fix this textbe afforded to those destined to succeed thorn.
Fix this textOur object is not now to discuss the merits of
Fix this textthis proposal us compared with a free-trade
Fix this textpolicy, for we think that New South Wales has
Fix this textmade up its mind on that point. We would
Fix this textpoint out, however, that even in those countries
Fix this textwhere the controversy has been decided in favour
Fix this textof the former, the question was only opened
Fix this textwhen the soil was occupied to its utmost capacity
Fix this textby an energetic yeomanry, and when emigration
Fix this texthad been perforce resorted to, to strain off the
Fix this textexcessive population. We hold that the natural
Fix this textfield for the manhood of any country is the soil,
Fix this textand we cannot therefore admit that the only way
Fix this textto assure the comfort of the working ordei’s of
Fix this textthe community is by establishing such industries
Fix this textas will tend to encourage that tendency towards
Fix this textcentralisation to which we have alluded. In the
Fix this textface of our sparsely-populated country districts,
Fix this textand with such an ever-present outlet for energy
Fix this textand good-will as they afford, it should be a
Fix this textpatent absurdity to speak of a looming danger to
Fix this textthe working classes. We nevertheless agree, to a
Fix this textcertain extent, with those alarmists who are not
Fix this textsatisfied with the outlook from the existing
Fix this textstate of things. It is a trite axiom with political
Fix this texteconomists that that state alone is flourishing
Fix this textwhich car,boast a vigorous agricultural element;
Fix this textand that the realm, however apparently prosper-
Fix this textous, of which the population is almost entirely
Fix this textgiven up to mechanical and trading occupations,
Fix this textis devoid of the very back-bone of endurance, and
Fix this textfated to collapse under the first serious pressure
Fix this textof the inevitable vicissitudes of trade. The
Fix this textknowledge of these facts should tend to shako
Fix this textthat sense of security which many are now
Fix this textcontent to entertain. It will bo obvious, too,
Fix this textthat no scheme of Protection would bo sufficient
Fix this textto meritj the exigencies of the case. The only
Fix this texttrustworthy preventive of future distress is to bo
Fix this textsecured by the proper utilisation of the soil.
Fix this textHence it is apparent that, were the land laws so
Fix this textframed and administered as really to encourage
Fix this textthe settlement of bona-Jide agriculturists through-
Fix this textout the colony, much of the prospective difficulty
Fix this textnow exercising the minds of the thoughtful
Fix this textwould be permanently obviated. Our misfortune
Fix this textis, not that some of us are unable to make money,
Fix this textbut that many of us want to become rich without
Fix this textworking.
Fix this textThe Right Revd. Bishop Barker, D.D.
Fix this textAlthough worldly-minded men may, in moments
Fix this textof mundane hilarity, talk lightly about ecclesi-
Fix this textastics, particularly of those who have reached
Fix this textthe highest positions, still in their inner conscious-
Fix this textness these very individuals entertain real respect
Fix this textfor all who zealously devote themselves to the
Fix this textmoral elevation of society. It is impossible for
Fix this textany civilized being not to admire earnestness and
Fix this textsincerity, however much the motives that bring
Fix this textboth into action may be objected to or suspected.
Fix this textThere is certainly something repugnant to the
Fix this textsecular mind in the apparently mock humility
Fix this textwhich says, nolo e.piscopari after
Fix this text“ letters patent ” have been granted,
Fix this textor a “rescript”— smhannulopiscatorLs
Fix this text—has been issued from Rome. It is
Fix this textbest perhaps to rely on the legal
Fix this textmaxim— de inter nix non judicandvm
Fix this textest —and not attempt to plumb or
Fix this textfathom men’s thoughts or too nar-
Fix this textrowly scan their motives ; and it is,
Fix this texttherefore, a more pleasing task to
Fix this textjudge the heads of the Churches
Fix this textrather as leading citizens than as
Fix this textlearned divines. It is in this liberal
Fix this textspirit that wo shall from time to
Fix this texttime survey the most prominent
Fix this textamongst them in these southern
Fix this textlatitudes, and endeavour to point
Fix this textout those traits of character which
Fix this textevoke admiration or reverence (or
Fix this texta compound of both) from largo
Fix this textsections of the Australasian people.
Fix this textApart from their intellectual attain-
Fix this textments, social status, and exalted
Fix this textaims, the higher clergy influence a
Fix this textcommunity in many ways—politi-
Fix this textcally , it is said—and said very truly
Fix this textof some of them—far in excess of
Fix this textwhat [is good for themselves indi-
Fix this textvidually, or the body politic they
Fix this textaffect. It has been somewhat harshly
Fix this textassorted —somewhere —of Bishops,
Fix this textthat they usually exact the homage
Fix this textof a “ plenary obsequiousness ” from
Fix this textall their followers. That may have
Fix this textbeen true in the past: it will hardly
Fix this textboar “sun or shade” in the imme-
Fix this textdiate future. Dr. Frederic Barker,
Fix this textBishop of Sydney, and Metropolitan
Fix this textof a Province numbering thirteen
Fix this textsees in Australasia, is essentially
Fix this texta churchman. His great physical
Fix this textand mental powers have been almost
Fix this textexclusively devoted to the interest
Fix this textof the Church of England In New
Fix this textSouth Wales. He has not, liketho
Fix this textmore intellectnally-robust Dr. Moor-
Fix this texthouse, of Melbourne, ventured on
Fix this textthat larger platform of social reform
Fix this textand enlightened progress which first
Fix this textattracts and then wins the attention
Fix this textof persons of all sects and of both
Fix this textsexes. Bishop Barker has, however,
Fix this textbeen uniformly consistent in his
Fix this textviews and action. From the day of
Fix this texthis first incumbency in England to
Fix this textthis hour—whether in promoting
Fix this textsynodical action, extending the
Fix this textoperations of the Church Society,
Fix this textcompleting unfinished ecclesiastical
Fix this textedifices, or erecting new ones, sug-
Fix this textgesting “ ways and means ” to meet
Fix this textthe demands on the revenues at his
Fix this textdisposal, or in organizing Sunday
Fix this textSchools and bush missions—ho has
Fix this textbeen from first to last a low
Fix this textchurchman of considerable ability
Fix this textand unflagging zeal. Whether his
Fix this textengagements have permitted or his
Fix this textinclinations led him to devote himself
Fix this textmuch to those apostolic labours
Fix this textwhich consist in visiting the sick,
Fix this textconsoling the afflicted and relieving
Fix this textthe poor, wo have no means of learn-
Fix this texting ; but we assume from what we
