Mr Reeves on the Late Premier.

At Dunedin last night in an admirable speech on the politics of the day, the Hon. W- P. Beeves paid a grand tribute to the memory of the late Premier, and said that looking at Mr Ballance's finance it would be seen that he left the largest surplus ever recorded in the history of New Zealand, coupled with the smallest un authorised expenditure, showing that while successful in getting he was just as careful in expending. He restored finance and restricted expenditure; the incidence of taxation had also been, ad justed, while the burden on the land had not been increased. The prerogative of the Governor had been limited, the Legislative Council had been liberalised, and the status and dignity of the Supreme Court Bench had been defended and as serted. Looking at labour ques tions, they saw the working classes fairly contented, while by the admis sion of the employers themselves the feeling between masters and men was greatly improved. They saw labour legis lation going on successfully, and yet capital was not driven out of the country, and their industries were not paralysed ; they saw the exodus to Australia reversed and the unemployed question fairly grappled with. The land administration of the Government had been successful, and dummyism had been restricted. The re-purchase of large estates had been fairly commenced, and the purchase of Hative lands in the North Island was going on at five times the rate of progress previously existing, and above all the credit of New Zealand had been restored and raised in all parts of the Empire. Instead of being the lowest of the colonies her credit was now highest; instead of New Zealand being the poor relation of Australia, she was the '• curly-headed boy" of the Empire ; instead of the co'ony being passed over with contemptuous in difference, they found statesmen and labor leaders elsewhere adopting the legislation of the last two sessions. More over, financial success has been brought about without imposing any fresh taxation or without begging big loans in the Lon don market. Such had been the result of prudent finance in New Zealand, while their neighbours in Australia had en countered an awful and disastrous panic which he feared would take them years to recover from.
