Mr. Macandrew said that the Order had been worked successfully. At all events, it had not been abused. It was to the interests of the country that they should not carry on the business, as had been done last session, to all hours of the morning. It was ascertained that their late hours had exercised prejudicial efiects on the health of members. Besides, the business was done in a loose manner. Mr. Montgomery would rather give up one of the private member days for Go vernment business than see the motion carried. Sir George Grey opposed the motion, and moved as an amendment the addition of the words, “it is undesirable that any public money should be voted any sitting day after 12.30.” Major Atkinson said the arrangement was an extraordinary one, and meant that while they were not fit to deal with money matters after 12.30 they were still com petent to undertake all the more im portant branches of Legislation. Sir George Grey’s amendment was put —Ayes, 29; Noes, 35.- Mr. Reader Wood moved as a further amendment that Wednesday, at present devoted to private members’ business, be in future devoted to Government business. This was lost on a division by 26 to 28. The original motion was then put and carried. Several members expressed an opinion that the Civil Service Commissioners’ report could not be considered as certain papers had not been distributed amongst members. Mr. Bunny complained that the evi dence had been abstracted from the table, and members thereby prevented from perusing it. Mr. Saunders said the evidence had not been taken out of the building ; but it was . found that the evidence of one witness, named White, whose case had been before the House had been abstracted, and could not be traced. The Speaker said the evidence was in custody of the Clerk of Parliament, and was open for inspection of members, but he had ascertained that White’s evidence had disappeared before the evidence as a whole got into custody of the clerk. It was then agreed that consideration of the report should proceed at the evening sitting. The House rose at 5.20 p.m.

THE “GLASGOW HERALD” ON NEW ZEALAND.

(From the Edinburgh correspondent of the Otago Daily Times. The Glasgow Herald, which is, next to the Scotsman, the leading journal on the north of the Tweed, had an article in its issue of April 27 dealing with the constant borrowing of money in Britain by New Zealand. This subject has hitherto been more frequently and vigoriously com mented upon in the English papers than in those published in Scotland, for reasons which it is not difficult to guess ; but there are signs of a change in this respect. In the article under notice the Herald says that “ New Zealand is the most fre quent and most insatiable borrower among all our children, and she is the one who most ostentatiously parades in print her wonderful progress, her astounding enter prise, and her incalculable resources. Truth to tell, we are getting somewhat weary of the boasts and promises of the * Britain of the Antipodes. ’ ” Then there comes this downright aver ment— u The plain fact remains that tl« great Colony of New Zealand is entirely supported upon borrowed money.” Anxious, however, to be within proper bounds, the article goes on to guard against the idea that New Zealand, though so great a borrower, is bankrupt. “ Not only,” it says, “is she at present perfectly solvent, but is destined with care to become a rich and a great country. But she has to learn the dangers of trading too much on borrowed capital, and she needs to realise that she has burdens enough at present to engage all her care and industry and economy for several years to become able to bear them with comfort.” The article then proceeds to notice the projected formation of another company for lending money on landed property in New Zealand, calling the said company “ another of the gigantic pawnbroking establishments of which New Zealand has already so many, and which have done some good and more harm to the Colony. ” It acknowledges that these concerns have been profitable to British investors, but deprecates any addition to their number, saying that “ this sort of thing has been overdone. ” Judge Bath gate comes in for a a rather sharp rap over the knuckles for his coideur de rose articles in “ Chambers’ Journal,” but there is an approving reference to an article in the Otago Daily Times of Feb. 27, contradict ing Mr. Bathgate’s statements. The fore going will give you some idea of what the leading paper in the chief commercial city in Scotland thinks of our borrowing pro gress. I find that people speak of New Zealand in a very different tone to that adopted by them when I returned thence six years ago. Now there is very generally expressed uneasiness, not to say distrust, while some even take it upon them to pro phesy that “ there must be a smash if things go on there much longer as they have been doing.” I mention facts, and refrain from commenting upon them.
