Imperial Parliament.

London, July 1 Lords Houghton and Oarrington have been created Earls; Sir Henry i 100b 8 Mr Herbert Boulston Gardner, Mr Sydney Stern, and Mr James Williamson—r]l M.P.'a—baronets ; Sir, Wiliiam Agnew, baronet; Mr Campbell-! Bannerman, tirand Cross of the Order of the Bath ; Mt Robert Giffen, L L D J Commander of the Bath ; Mr Arthur | Arnold, formerly M.P., has been knighted. The Opposition and Government exchange seats to day. All the Union ists are sitting together. The Times believes the Unionists* majority at the elections will possibly be from 70 to 80. The Unionist Press denounce the inconsistency o{ Lord Rosebery in creating Peers. The House of Lords has passed the Colonial Judges Privy Council Bill. In a letter to the Press Sir W. V. Harcourt says it was impossible to dissolve Parliament unless Mr Campbell Banner man had been thrown over board and replaced by'another Minister, which, of course, was out of the question. The Conservatives, by their line of action, prevented a dissolution, as the passing of the Army vote was always necessary before the House could be dissolved. Mr John Redmond declares that the Liberal party practically abandoned Home Bole, but be believed the Con servatives would settle the Irish land question. The Statist says that if Mr Chamber lain frames & workable scheme, giving the colonies a voice in the manage ment of Imperial affairs, he will deserve well of the House and the country. The Speaker thinks that Lord Salis bury is virtually and Mr Chamberlain only nominally master of the Unionists. The programme of Jthe Conservative Association includes the referendum and Imperial foreign po'icy, poor law reform, old age pensions, employers 1 liability, extension of small holdings, Irish local government acd exclusion of pauper aliens Mr Chamberlain, Mr Balfour, and Sir M. Hicks-Beach have been returned unopposed. The Unionist papers protest against Lord Rosebery making Captain Naylor Leyland, M.P. for Colchester, a baronet, as a reward for deserting the Unionist cause.

'X'lie ChineKe Loan-

New South Wales Politics.

Sydney, July 2 The Sydney Morning Herald says Mr Reid's proposal to limit the Legislative Councillors to a five-year term com mends itself as reasonable and legiti mate, and absolutely essential for dislodging the Council from its en* trenched position of irresponsibility, and for bringing the Chamber into touch with the minds of the people. The proposals to end deadlocks by appealing to the referendum is open to criticism, and is not unlikely to lead to the destruction of a useful check on extravagant expenditure and reckless borrowing. The referendum comes with associations all inimical fo the system of rule through, representative institutions, in which Englishmen have found the best guarantee of freedom and self government- What would'be gained by the referendum would be lost by parliamentary government. The Daily Telegraph generally com mends Mr Reid's proposal by which he has grasped by the throat the irre sponsible veto, and with which he will do away with every obstacle against carrying out the will of the people; and representative Government, which, up to the present, has been little better than mockery, will become a reality,,

The New Zealand Railways.

An JBxper*'* Opinion,

Sydney, July X Major Pangborn, referring to the New Zealand railways, says they pre sent the most unique and interesting situation he has yet come upon, and he can hardly dignify the railways thfere by describing them as under any management whatever. The generally accepted principle of railway control must be something of millitary pre i cision and disclipine 'among employees. iln New Zealand the condition is the j opposite- He condemns and the co operative construction of railways, believing that, it costs from 50 1 to 60 per cent, more than by con tract in any other country. He con sidered the surveys extraordinary, flying surveys seeming to be accepted instead of exhaustive permanent ones. Continuing, he says the country cer taiuly is a fine one, with great possi bilities, and its natural advantages are incalculable. Speaking generally, the permanent way is well kept, and the locomotives aiid the rolling stock are well found. He believes the met} in New Zealand are competent to manage the railways if given the opportunity, but they are siuqply a lot J of clerks with power so restricted as to have no power at all, As far- as the system is concerned there is a strik ing absence of modern appliances for safety, and the brakes and signal system are poor. Commenting on the New South Wales lines, he says he has seen no finer system since leaving London,,

THE PROPOSED PARLIAMENTARY LOTTERY.

TO THE EDITOR.

Sib,—lt has now been made public that our Parliament is to be requested to sanction * great gambling concern. Every patriotic citizen, who wishes to keep our national history pure, aud hand down a splendid tradition to our ehiiaren and children's children, will protest against the proposed transaction. Iv order that something j effective may be done at once, we have to ask you to be good enough to publish the ' text of the following petition, which we trust will be extensively signed by all Bentions of the community. Copies will be distri buted throughout the town for signature.— We are, eta., Geo B. Inglis, Thomas A. Hamilton, Thomas G Bbookb, John Olphert, July 2, 1895. To the JHon. the House of Representatives in Parliament assembled. The petition of the undersigned respectfully showeth :— That your petitioners have heard with the uttn st regret and alarm that an application is to be made to Parliament toe permission to dispose, by lottery, of certain lands and properties belonging to the New Zealand Estates Company. And further that a member of the House of Representatives has given notice of his intention to move the repeal of the Act against consultations in this colony. That, in the belief of your petitioners, gambling is one of the greatest curses of the'country and time; that it is distinctly opposed to Holy Scripture, to conscience, to all morality and to public policy; that it engenders idleness; encourages dishonesty ; iaprejudicial .„ to commerce; blights the lives of thousands ; indisposes men and women for religious duty, and effectually cuts at the root of happiness. That, in the conviction of your petitioners, if Parliament sanctions the proposals re ferred to, the result will be moral disaster to the country. Your petitioners, therefore, earnestly and respectfully request that your honourable House will meet the proposals with the strongest and most determined opposition, And your petitioners will ever pray.
