PARLIAMENTARY.

LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

Wellington, September 5. BANKING BILL, The Banks and Bankers Acb Amend ment Bill was read a second time. THE LIQUOK BILL. ' Sir Patrick Buckley moved the second reading of the Alcoholic Liquors Sale and Control Bill. He briefly explained its provision)*. Mr Stewart moved the adjournment of the debate, in order that members might have more time to consider the Bill. The division resulted in a tie, the Ayes being* 19, and Noes 19. The Speaker gave his casting vote with the Noes, and declared the amendment lost. Dr Pollen hoped that the Bill would be thrown out by the Council, in order that the constituencies might at the General Election give an imperative voice as to -whether the public desired such % Bill. He moved as an amendment that the Bill be read a second time that day six months. Mr McLean hoped that the second read ing would be allowed to proceed. He did not agree with the principle of compensa tion but thought that retrenched publi cans should be gentJy dealt with. Mr Olllver supported the amendment. If the direct veto clause of the BUI passed it was possible that a small minority would rule the majority. Mr Bolt moved the adjournment of the debate. Sir Patrick Buckley opposed the ad journment. The Government laid great stress on the Bill, and he thought that it should be proceeded with without delay. The amendment was carried on a divi sion >>y 22 to 17. The debate was ad journed till next day. THE ELECTOBAL BILL, 3he Electoral Bill was further con sidered in Committee. Clause 61. A motion by Mr W. O. Walker, to give bush-fallers electoral rights, was lost by 22 to 16.

The clause was still under discussion when the Council rose at 5.30 p.m. The Council resumed in Committee at ; 7.30 p.m. . ; Further amendments in clause 61 were ' proposed, but they were all rejected, and the clause as printed was agreed to. Amendments were proposed in several : of the succeeding clauses but without avail, and when the 'ast clause was reached progress was reported, it being agreed to defer consideration of Mr McLean's new clauses with regard to women's franchise until next day.

It exonerates Mr Seddon from blame. The Committee are of opinion that in altering tne text oi me wlimateriai statement after it had been laid before Parliament, and without even informing the Minister of what he had done, the Under Secretary, Sir Blow, committed a grave indiscretion. They consider that no alteration of any Parliamentary paper, after it had been laid on the table of the House, should be made without the sanction of the House. THE ELECTORAL BJLL.

IMPORTANT TO INV^S OR?, IMPORTANT TO FATHERS AND MOTHERS, "IMPCRTANT TO fcVjfiRYBODY. T~\O YOU WISH for a good Investment! Then be wise and purchase a HOUSE SECTION. You cannot go wrong in buying land at a reasonable price, which increasing in value, and becoming less in quantity every week. Everyone should possess a home that he can call his own, and the properties such as are now offend should not be missed. Young man, you may feel free and independent now, but you will want to settle down. Be wise and purchase a House and Section by instalments of payment that you will not feel the loss of. Saving leads to wealth; yet many people go on paying house rent all their lives, and are either unaware how easily th«f may become house owners instead of rent payers, or singularly neglectful of such opportunities as F. FERRIMAN offers. Do without luxuries for a little while, buy a Section and House What you are now pa)lng for rent will soon pay the of your property. No more landlords, no more rent. Anyone in active employmet of any kind can save enough to pay the instalment by cutting down expenses. Wh» many spend in cigars and beer, horae-raoing and oards, would buy ft House and Section. Don't hesitate because your earnings, are small; make your expenses onl »little less than now. Many will be ready to take it off your bauds at a profit. Xl is an axiom in political economy that should be written in letters of gold—J The man who lives up to all he owns Is ill prepared for fortunes turns, But who spends less has home and health, Long life himself, his children wealth, Like drops of water, grains of sand Tkat make the ocean and the land; The penny saved to sovereigns grows, What poor meu hope, the rich man knows. —Safer. ■■■MM « moore;street^ ashburton extension.
