Australian Politics.

VICTORIA

Melbourne, December 11 I The Railway Trust Bill produced a vigorous debate. The Premier de fended the measure, which he con tended was based on commercial principle?. It was experimental, but if it failed after three years trial it would not involve the colony in a loss of more than £20,000, Mr Shiels moved an amendment, amid cheers, that the Bill b9 read six months hence. The debate was adjourned.

QUEENSLAND.

Brisbane, December 11 The Financial btatenae&t shows that the House will be required to furnish on the loan estimates about £800,000, which will give a total liability to be provided for of £1,480,000. It is anticipated that during the next seven months the revenue will exceed the expenditure by £700,000. This will pro vide cash to the extent of £1,900,000, leaving a credit balance on June 30 of nearly half a million. There is no necessity for a loan bill at present, but if next Parliament keeps up the moderate expenditure of say half a million it will be advisable, in the Treasurer's opinion, before long to submit a loan bill. November 12. The Leader of the Opposition moves that the financial proposals of the Go vernment are unsatisfactory.

TASMANIA.

Hobart, December 12 i Government has granted £100 for the experimental laying of fifty feet of Tasmanian hardwood pavement ii the principal streets of Glasgow.

NEW SOUTH WALES

Stdney, December 12 The Public Service Bill passed the Council. Th© assembly discusses the renewal of the Vancouvre eubsidy to-night. The estimated cost of the new public works mentioned yesterday is £2,196,000. Mi" Eddy states that the railway ravenue has decreased heavily since October I—nearly £70,000 com pared with the same period last year. The loss is entirely due to the diminution of the wool traffic through drought.

The French Colonial Policy.

Paeis, December 11 In the Chamber, during the debate on the Niger disputes, the French Colonial Minister said the offensive period of the French colonial policy was past, and now follows peace, with out extending possessions.

In dismissing the Balciutha sly-grog Cisea against the Molrs and Dunns, Mr Hawkins, S.M., s<nd prohibition had now been in force two yeais and thpre had been fourteen con vied' ns. Prohibition might or might not ultimately effect the intention of the Legislature, but so far ib had certainly not succeeded. What its effect; was in preventing ihe consumption of liquor no one could tell. Whatever the success achieved it had been obtained at a serious cost of a mischievous impression on the general moralily of ihelpeople, and of a loss of rrsprct among them for the law of the colony. It was a law which could only be carried out by the employment of spies and informera, and, however neces sary they might bo, dincredic attached to such witnesses. He suggested that the Government should appoint a Roya! Com mission to inquire into the wot king of prohibition in the district, m that seemed the way in which the Legislature c mid jui3ge whether the Act had answered i<-a purpose and justified its ressriciiuns on the liberty of the people. The fines inflicted by him amounted to £285 V show- Ing that a large and sufficiently remunera tive trade was being carried on. He hai f-n. snd would, carry out the provisions of the law.
