The Address in Reply.

THE MOVER'sTaND SECONDER'S SPEECHES.

The following is an abstract of the very interesting speeches made on the Go vernor's speech:— Mr M'Guire moved the Address-in- Eeply. He commenctd by asking for the usual privilege granted to a young mem- ( ber, anc said lie was placed m the unusual difficulty of occupying the place of a gentleman who, through no fnulfc of his own, was absent from the House. Sir H. Atkinson had served Eamont well for many years, and although he differed politically from that hon. gentleman he was sure the House would be glad to hear that Sir H. Atkinson would be shortly restored to gc*4 health. As to the speech j which the Governor had yesterday de-' livered to them, he felt sure it was one I that would effect treat good m the country. With respect to the retrench ment effected by the Government, he ex pressed great sympathy for those who had been retired from the service, but he thought the work would be just as efficiently performed hr spite of the re tirements. As regarded taxation, he hoped the Government would do away with the property tax, and institute a pro gressive land and income tax. He con sidered the property tax had m the jiast been a bar to industry, and had soared both capital and labour from our shores. He hoped therefore the Government would be able to carry their taxation measures, and m doing so thuy would have his hearty support. He ad vocated a tax on dotalisators, as this was a great luxury, and he suggested that a Bill be brought m providing for putting a sixpenny stamp on every totalisator ticket issued. That would bring m a revenue of £200,000 a year, and would enable some of the taxes to be removed from our struggling settler.*.. With re spect to the land question; it had not been satisfactory m the past, and he thought the perpetual lease was the best way to settle land. It was not desirable to encourage large estates, and they should make up their minds not to sell an acre more of laud. Native lands should also be administered so that a poor man would be able to get the same justice as a rich one. He was m sympathy with the present education system, but he thought Education Boards should be done away with, that School Committees, should l»e 'in"direct communication with Hie Minister, and there should be an in spector-general, aiid that inspectors should be moved about the country. A great saving would be made m this way. He was a believer m secondary education, but those who received it should pay tor it, and he considered that all reserves belonging to secondary schools should be merged m primary schools. As to the Federal Convention, he believed it would be productive of good, bu!; ho trusted above all things that reciprocity would result from it. Referring to nunhood suffrage, Sir G.; Grey deserved credit for what he had done m that direction, and he hoped the principle would be still further extended. Mr" Buick seconded the motion. He had every confidence that if the people of the colony entrusted tha government of the Colony to the present Ministry there would shortly be a wave of prosperity all Over the country. He condemned the system of borrowii-g that had so long pre vailed, and was glad to see that was over now. It was specially important for the working classes that they should cease that cursed policy of borrowing, for it fell most heavily on them. It was truly astonishing how a Government could be hampered m effecting economy by selfish and interested persons. Each district T/as perfectly satisfied that retrenchment should be effected m other districts so long as their own was not touched. He did not say that the depression would be removed by retrenchment m I the civil service, as it was deeper than that, but they could Ho their best to assist by real economy. He was aware the Opposition declared the retrenchment now being effected was a sham, but the Govern ment were making an endeavor to put the civil service on a more satisfactory basis than it. had ever been before. He was glad to see that the system of com pensation would be put a stop to, and he was surprised to lind that pernicious system prevailed so long. The speech on the whole wus one they could heartily agree with, but he was surprised Lo see no reference made m it to federation., They m this colony would have to dis-1 criminate as to the advantages to be derived from federation with Australia, and he fpr one was not willing to bind this colony over tp a Fedpral Parliament which ignored the. principle of one-man onc^vote. After referring at some length to the questjon, of Freetrade as opposed to Protection, which would be opened up by federation with Australia, he failed to sec why the people of the colony should be taxed to keep up armed fleets for federal defence. If England was involved m a war England should also defend us, as she would be bound to do m the interests of bond holders and as she had already done m bombarding Alexandria. Coming to that part of the address dealing with labor and capital, he contended that no Government having the interests of the people at heart could ignore that question. Much could be done to settle this question by putting the working classes m a position of manly indepecdence, and he believed that by breaking down the land monopoly a great step would be gained m thid direction without unduly interfering with the rights of capital. It was a great work for the Government to undertake to reconcile labor and capital. Ho did not by any means undervalue the bill the tfbvepiment p ; pposec| to br|ngin on thid head, but he 1 was convinced that a closer settleir'ent of the land was the true solu i'ipu of the labor difficulty, and the day niust com*} when the existing system p'f large estates nius^ give way to smaller hqldjngg. As to, the Electoral Bill, he thought it wus qne of the most valuable measures m the Government programme, but it was not perfect. He thought the result of the poll should not be declared at countiy booths, but at central booths, as by this means working men on stations would be fvte to vote a* their conscience dictated, and would be free from the intimidation of their masters. The mover of the Addrets had referred m sympathetic terms to Sir H. Atkinson, Ins predecessor for Egmout, and he (Mr Buick) might be excused for - referring to another gentleman who had left them for ever—one who .was always identified with the Liberal party m New Zealand. IJc referred to the late Hon. W. Beeves, mid although he deeply sympathised with that gentleman's rela tives, he felt that he had left behind him one who would worthily uphold his father's namo. In conclusion he said the policy of tlfb Government was a practical com mercial one, and would be, ne W»s sure, a good oiie for the colony. lie had, there fore ? very nmcli pleasure m seconding the motion. ..•,,.

Dutch Courtship.

In certain parts of Holland, when a young man thinks he has 'found his affinity, it is customary'for him to ask for a match to light his cigar at the door of the loved one's house. This little sub terfuge is intended to arouse the parents of the girl to the fact that something is m the wind. If a second call with a similar object is made soon after, no doubt is'left of ths young man's intentions, and the I parents proceed to investigate the ydunjr man's character and antecedents' with a view to ascertaining his eligibility as a member of the family. When lie calls the third time, always for a match to light his cigar, they are prepared to give him an answer. If his suit is regarded with favor he is politely requested to step inside for the first time, and is served with a light. If he is not accepted, he is re ■ fused a light, and the door is shut m his face without further cerenuny. But, having prepared for this contingency, th« downcast suitor will m all probability light his weed with a match from hit. box, aid walk away musing on the tran sitory nature of all earthly things. When the accepted suitor is invited to enter the h«use, he, as a matter of Course informs the parents which of their daughters has captivated his fancy. When this is settled the young man steps forward and they join hands. While the engagement is by no means considered a settled fact, even at this important stage, yefc it is stated as a truth that when on the oc casion of the young man's third visit his inamorata has offered him a second cigar, which he had smoked m the house, the engagement has never been cancelled. [How is it managed m the case of a non smoker ?—Ed].

POLITICAL.

(*'KOM OUR I'ARLIAMKNI'AUY CORRESPONDENT.)

Wellington", June 15. Messrs Hall- Jones and Perceval have been appointed Government whips. I hear that the taxation proposals of Government include new stamp duties, levies on shipping companies' tickets, and the total isator. The Chairmanship of Committees will De settled to-nvorrow. There is no excitement m the lobbies, and of Oppo sition tactics there are none. The Hon W. P. Beeves was recently charged by a Christohurch paper with foisting on the Cabinet a Salvation Army scheme for the relief of the unemployed ; but as a matter of fact, the charge is ab solutely false. The Cabinet had already set relief works going at the Bealey and Catlin's river, the modus operandi adopted being that of the Board of Trade at Home, and the Labor Bureau of the American States. The Salvation Captain's letter did not reach Mr Reeves till these things were m full swing, the immediate cause of the Government's action was a deputation of Wellington unemployed, introduced by Mr T. K. McDonald. The Government) however, fully recognise the noble endeavors of the Army, and the officials will render' the Army: officers all needful help. Weliihp.to,n, June 10. Mr Rees intends moving that Mr S.. Vaile'.s system be tried on the Auckland lines ; also that a full enquiry bo made into G. W. Ell's case. Mr Earnshaw is to second Mr Rees 1 motion with reference to the Grand Con ference on the labor question at Chicago, Mr Bryce has been unanimously elected leader of the Opposition.
