We have received from the publishers the first number of ••Daybreak," a newspaper published in Wellington "in the interests of woman," and edited by a member of the same sex. The paper has set itself a large task, but, not an impossible one, if the recent past and present may be accepted as a criterion of the possibilities of tbe future. The objects aimed at are a steady and continuous increase of the land tax, accompanied by a corresponding de crease of the Customs duties, beginning witb those imposed on the necessaries of life ; the initiation of pensions for the old and infirm, the finding of work by the State for tne unem ployed; State ownership of monopolies, sucb as tbe drink traffic, coal mines, water, etc. Tbe editress further assures her readers that she will not cease to remind women not to forget tbeir sex by appearing in places where they shall not only be tbe laughing stock of ttic ill-natured but merit the contempt of " the wise and true." This is a very good resolu tion, an excellent object, quite good enough, indeed, in itself to be worthy of the exclusive advocacy of a woman 's paper. Should the f ai r editress succeed in this, she will deserve the gratitnde of her sex.
