PARLIAMENTARY.

LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

Wellington, Ju'y 9 The Council met at 2 30 p.m ADJOURNMENT. ' It was decided th=»t the Council at its rising should adjourn till Thursday in consequence of Mr Ward's reception to morrow. JUDIOIL PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE BILL. Dr Graca resumed the debxte o<» the aecon 1 reading of tha Jud c*l Practice an ' Procedure Bill, ro which VTr Pharaz,, n l:ad moved an amendment that it be read a second time that day six months. Dr Grace thought that Mr Justice Williams had dona hid duty in charging the jury as he had in the Dean case, and that he deserved the thanks of the community. The hot), gentleman traversed the BilJ, and iiitimaied that he should oppose it. Mr Downio Stewart pointed out that the Bill was not required. Comment by Jndges was esseutia'. It would be yexa tioas to make Judged go on circuit. He was averse co juries assessing eo^ts in civil actions as calculated to be expensive and dangerous to litigants. Mr McGregor in a long speech intimated his intention of oppos ng the Bill, hia reasons being similar to those advanced by Mr Stewart. Mr Rigg although not being; altogether satisfied wrh the Bill, should vote for the second reading. The debate was adjourned on the motion of Mr McCullough, and tha Council adjourned till Thursday.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

The House met at 2 30 p.m. NEW BILL. MrG W. Russell gave notice to intro duce a Bill to enable women to practice the profession of the law. RECEPTION TJ MR WARD. The Premier moved that the House at its rising should a<-'j mm 111 2.50 p.m. on Tnursday. He believed that it was the wifh of a large majority of the members thar the adjournment should be made, and the leader of the Opposition had expressed his concurrence in the pro posal. AU, he thought, would agree that the public reception to be accorded to Mr WarJ, and on account of wh;ch the af'j 'urnment wa? proposed, was well deserved, and he felt satisfied that msm bfrs wou'd scarcely be in a mood to go on with the business tc-morrow. Thi* was aa occasion when the House should sink p\rty feeling, and he a-ksd members to piss (he motion unanimously. Another opportunity would be given to those members who bad bills on the Older Paper for to-morrow. Captain Russell taid that when he assented to the proposed adjournment he looked upon it as a compliment to an individual, acd hia assent was not to bo taken as an acq itescence of the way in which the Colouiil Treasurer had c )n ---ducted pablic business at Home. In discussing the matter with the members of his parly, however, they expressed the opinion that if they agreed to the adjourn ment they would be departing from their convic ions and creating a precedent. He referred to the statement; alleged to hnvi been ma^e by Mr Ward »t the meeting of the London Chamber of Commerce with regard to the £3,000,000 of securities and said that the Opposition felt that if they agreed to the adjournment in order to do honor to the Minister who had made such a statement, it might amount to a tacit agreement on their pare in the line taken by Mr Ward before the Lon on Chamber of Commerce. If statements such as these were uttered, the Oppofeiun strong'y o^jdced to them, and on that j ground wished lo enter their protest against; the adj luruimnt. Mr <.t. J Fniiih ol»j cted to the adjourn ment 58 utterly unwarrantable. i Sir Il'ibert Stout toi-k a t-hnilar view. The rec-pu-.-n to Mr WarJ wa^ purely a parly demonstration for party purpose*, and where, he wou'd ask, was this thing liWy to end: Suctt a~pfop sal was entirely unknown in England, and w* u'd be scouted in any Parlhm nt in the world. He also referred to the extra ordinary statement made to the London Chamber of ComtEerce by Mr \* ard, ahd said thnt evtn on a Sundty on the Trtaturei's anival in the colony, he cou!d not refran from denouncing hb politic il rivals. The Premier said that same members had suddenly become very virtuous, and as for precedents, h^ abked whether the H <use of Commons had never adjourned over Derby Day. This House had fre quentlyad journed for more trifling reasons thin that of doing honor to a Minister of the Crown. Mr Ward had done good service not only to ihia colony bub to all the colonies, and well deserved the honor. He himself intended moving tb*b the prospectus, issued by the Agent-General before the raising of the loan, be laid on ' the table, and he felt sure that Mr Ward j would be able to give a satisfactory explanation of that matter and refuse the other charges made against him. The welcoma to be given to Mr Ward was not a party demonstration at all, and tha fsct that the Mayor of the city had declared a half-holiday took from it the colour of party. Sir Robert Stout's objection to Mr Ward speaking on Sunday showed that Sir Robert Stout had more regard for the Sabbath than people generally credited him with. He (the Premier) was not surprised at Mr Ward taking the first opp jrtur.Uy to vindicate himself from the serious charges which had been made against him ix] his absence. He was sure that tha colony as a whole would not o'jajt to the adjournment. The motion was carried cm a, division by 43 to 23 REPLIES TO QUESTIONS, In reply to questions ib was stated that if medical men persisted in making ex ceasive charges for operations and medica attendance, there ww no doabt that legislation would have to be introduced enforcing maximum charges in the^e directions ; that the Local Government Pill would probably deal with, t^l9 quest tiona of absentee ratepayers and the majority of votes required to deejd.e a loan poll In rfply to Mr Hall-Jones, Mr Cadman said that in connection wlch the Band Contest at Timaru this year year it was proposed to grant stop-over excursion fares (which are generally speaking loss than single fares) for the bandsman, and similar fares from Durjedin and Christ church for the public. |t was also pro-" posed £o' grant excursion fares from Oamaru, Asliburt-.ori, F.irlie, Wa^'mate',' and intermediate stations. " ' p.IRCULAK LETTER. The Premier (for fi^r Ward) gave notice to moye that the circular letter of the Agent GrtUJral with reference to the three per cent loan resently floated in London, be laid <n the table of the Howe. ItOTJRUA. Mr Mcl^r^e (Olutha) moved the ad journment! of'the House and provoked a long debate on the subject of the con dition of the mineral waters at Rotorua, anl the management of th,e X^otorua Sanatorium,. The House rose at § 30, p m. Th,e House resurped at ? 30 p rq, jn poawri'TPß, T?he Native Township $ Bill wa^ passed through Committee wlthoufa material amendment The Family Homes Protection Bill was considered in Committee.

SYDNEY SHEEP SALE.

Sidney, July 8 The sale of longnvooled sheep began to-day, the catalogue consisting chiefly of Hew Zealand consignment When the first lots from Tasmania and New South Wales were pat up it was evident that there was going to be a difficulty in realising decent prices. Sixteen pure Leiee3ters fetched a quarter of a guinea. Then half a guinea was about the best offer, with one or two exceptions, till the New Zealand auimals were reached. Fifteen Border-Leicesters, on accounts of Mr Grieve, Southland, brought three-quarters of a guinea each, and ten ram hoggeta half a guinea. Messrs Andrews Brother^ lot was passed in.

A SHIP ON FIRE

A Wir« Wrignd« Officer Kill«d Meiboukke, July 9 The fire which was supposed to be sub dued on the ship Hilaria, after doing con siderable damigo, has broken out Rfyain, and is still burning. Superintendent Gee, of the Fire Brigade, was killld while working on her, The Bbip is being fired into to sink her. Later The fire on boaid ho Hi'aru started in the morning in the after hsitch ; 2500 c*ses of kerosene ;ni 200 tons of resin wvre on board, Tho S. D. Carton, with 50 000 cases on board, was close astern, and r<n great danger of catching fie, 1 u l. slio was towed out in nine. 'Jh« fl tmes spre-d with itr-manse rapidity, and, as it was found impossible to cope with them ir. was dt aided to tow tho ye sel into the strp'rn.

Gee was fearfully burned, and succumbed to his inj lriea. Meanwhile the fl tmes had obtained such a hold 1 hat the masts fell, and it b(Cime impopsible to tow her away. The in ax of war Nelson fired eight shots into her hull in order to &ink the vessel, but without effect. Eventually she was pumped full of water and sfnk. An immense crowd collected up< n the scene, and there was great excitement. The origin of the fire, which was not connected with the previous one, i*.a mystery. Since the ship has been dis charging the crew have bean sleeping on board, asd some of them had a narrow escape.

TUtf ASITBPBTON aUAftDIAN : WEDNESDAY, JULY 30 1895



after. The racecourse is a veritable hell upon earth, and betting is Eng land's curse. lam about 'o do what scores of others have done faefot c me. Poverty and starvation have taken the place of affluence and comfort. My friends have forsaken me, and life is no longer worth living." THE MORALS OF MELBOURNE. 22. Let not the readers ot this pappr suppose that we regard Melbourne as worse than soma other places in regard to gambling, but we are utterly tired of hearing almost every form of wicked npsa excused upon the wretched ground that " Melbourne is not worse than other places." "Marvellous Melbourne" ought to be much better, and not be guilty of excusing herself because "not worse than other cities." We attack wickedness fearlessly, and intend to do it yet more. Half the abominable vice and critni which exists in Melbourne might have been pre vented had the fearful social evils which have coim into such shameful prominence been attacked, denounced, and driven back. Let the Church and the moral sense of the men and women o^ the city speak out. 23. Let any thoughtful man visit the Flemington racecourse on Cup Day, and note the large proportion of men of all ages and conditions, whose counten ances, language, and conduct give evi dence of the deplorable results which accrue through valuable lives being turned from honest labor, and pros tituted to betting, gambling, cardsharp iug and intemperance. Their language is abominable, their excitement devilish and their example hateful More lessons in villainy, moie cheating, lying and dishonesty, more wreckage of character and more abominable wickedness attaches to this gambling carnival than during six months be «ide. THE ATTITUDE OF THE PRESS. 24. Now, all this is well known; nevertheless* beyond an occasional protest on the part of some of the ministers of the city, reproof against this annual social abomination is scarcely heard. On the contrary, each of the daily papers appear to be bent upon outdoing the others in writing up the Melbourne races, and the gambling connected therewith. Vivid descrip tions of races, horses and jockeys have occupied and will stili occupy scores of their columns. The papers literally teem with incitements to enter into the gambling mania, which like a consum ing cancer, is burning up the lives and character of tens of thousand of A us tmlia's young and impulsive lives. " Prophets," so called, write from the various racecourses as special corres pondents, whose business it is to give the latest prices and information to the lawless crowd of gamblers, whose wretched zest is still further stimu lated by the public press, a large por tion of which appears to be without any moral sense or conscience concern ing thi3 curse, It is a flagrant abuse of the liberty and functions of the Press that the daily papers should quote "The Betting Market," giving information and pricf s from various?cities. Market, indeed! is that a legitimate market where honor, truth and righteousness are insulted, where lying, deceit and vill ainy flourish, and where every principle of Christ the Lord is violated and outraged 1 WHAT CAN BE DONE 1 25. What can be done to attack and arrest this gigantic evil 1 Assail it, denounce it, preach against it, arouse public sentiment against it. Let every upright man and woman, every prominent citizen, every working man, keep away from every place whpre betting and gambling is toler ated. Teach men that gambling is essentially immoral and belongs to the vicious and ungodly ; that it is the inspiration of the depraved ; that as we look for men who desire to be re spected, to be separate from drunken ness, blasphemy, and licentiousness, so they must be separate from the hideous curse of gambling. The time has come that any known gambler should be disqualified for a seat in the Legisla ture, and every paper that makes its columns a medium for gambling should be rejected. Mr Hughes well says, «' Perhaps the most effectual way to remedy gambling would be toprohibit by law publication of betting intelligence in any newspaper. All upright editors would welcome the assistance of the law in excluding this degrading matter. The law with great advantage might deal with thia infernal gambling. Virtuous and humane men ought not to have two opinions about the legitimacy of such action by the Legis lature in regard to this crying evil. JJeayy fine?, and ff they fail, imprison r nipntj ought'to be the swjft punishment of all editors, printers, and ngiKSpaper proprietors who publish bettin gence. When that law is pas&dd we shall have laid the axe at the very root of the deadly upas tree of gambling..' Bravo, Mr Hughes ! that's wholesome talk, and we are obliged to you and the other writers from whom I have quoted, for your strong protests and arguments 26. Ifew modern writers have given moire conclusive reasons against gambl ing fhap Uharleg -Hp has shown with, absolute and conclusive force that gambling is immoral. Let us hear the popular author's testimony. CHARLES KINGSLEY, THE POET. Writing to young men, he says, * I will give you two reasons for leaving betting alone. The first'is this, that betting and gambling of every kind is in itself wrong and immoral. Ido not gay that every man who b ( ets is an im ip^ral jjjan.' $ar from it. Many fpall'y honest men bet, but that is be pause tfyey had npt considered what they arp doing, getting is wrong bp paase it is tp tajfe you.r neigh bor's money without givirig h\m any thing in return. iSarn from him what you will, and as much as you can. All |abor is honorable, but betting is not laboripg nor earning; it is getting jnoney without earning it; and fnore, iji is gettfng money, or trying to get it put of your neighbor's ignorance, If ypu and he bet'on any event, you tbjnk your l.p/se will w|n : he thinks that hie will s—in plain English, you think that you know more about the matter tlian he. You try to take advantage, and so to conjure money out of his pocket into yours. A noble and friendly attitude truly ! That is the plain English of it; and look at it upwards, downwards, side w»V», insitjiM^t, you *wiH fieyer jsmlse



anything out of i.eMinsr Rave this, that it is taking advantage o' your neigh bor's supposed ignorance. But, says to me one, ' That is all fair, he is trying to do as much by mo' Just so, and that is a ptetty noble and friendly attitude for two men who have no spite against each other, a state of mutual distrust and unmercifulness, looking each selfishly to his own gain, regardless of the interests of the other. I say regardless—you know whatever j you lose he will expect you to pay, however much it mayinconvenienceyou; while if he loses you expect him topay, however much it may inconvenience him. Thus betting is founded on sel fishness, and the consequence is that men who live by betting are and can not; help being the most selfish of raeo, and among the most unhappy and pitiable. For if a man who is given up to selfishness, distrust and cunning, who is tempted every hour to treachery and falsehood, without the possibility of one noble or purifying feeling throughout hw day's work, if that man is not a pitiful object I do not know is." AN UNANSWERED QUESTION. But some will say, 'It is not the money I care for but the amusement.' Excuse me, but if so, why do you bet for money and not for marbles or counters 1 That question T have asked again and again, and have never got an answer. It would be better for many a young man of eager temper, high spirit, and delicate honor to make up his mind never to bet even a shilling. Gambling, like drinking, grows upon some men, and upon the very finest natures too. And re member, ihat in betting and gambling the more honorable you are the worst chance you have. Gambling is almost the only thing in the world in which the bad man is the stronger by very virtue ci hh badness, the good man the weaker by very virtue of his goodness. The man who will not cheat is no mat.;h for the man who will; the honorable man who will pay his debts is no match for the dishonorable man who will not. Long bffor-e I took holy orders, before even I thought seriously at all, things were so bad thirty years ago that I found myself forced to turn ray back on racecourses, not because I did not love to see the horses run—in thit old English pleasure, taken simply and alone, I can fully sympathise; but be cause I found that they tempted me to betting, and that bt tting tempted me to company and to passions unworthy not merely oE a scholar and of a gentle man, but of an honest and rational bargeman or collier; and I have seen what comes too often of keeping that company and of indulg ing those passions. I have known men possessed of many virtues and surrounded with every blessing which God could give, bring bitter shame and ruin, not only on themselves, but on those they loved, because they were too weak to shake oS the one passion of betting and gambling. And I have known men mixed up in the wicked ways of the world and falling into much wrong-doing, who have settled clown into a respectable and useful old age simply because they had- strength to say, ' Whatever else I n^ay do, bet and gamble 1 will not.' " • THE DEVIL THE FATHER OF IT. J> 27. The following letter was written many years before, to his eldest son when a school-boy, on his telling his father he had put in to a lottery for- the Dei by without thinking it any harm : "My Dearest Boy,—There is a matter which gave me much uneasiness when you mentioned it. You said you had put into some lottery for the Derby, and had hedged to make safe. How air this is baa, bad, nothing but bad. Of all habits gambling is the one I nate most and have avoided most. Of all habits ie grows most on eager minds. Success and loss alike mike it grow. Of all habits, however much civilised men may give way to it, it is one of the most intrinsically savage. Historically it has been the peace ex citement of the lowest brutes in human form for ages past. Morally it is un chivalrous ana unchristian. 1, It gains money by the lowest and most unjust means, for it takes money out of your neighbour's pocket without giving him anything in return. 2. It tempts you to use what you fancy your j superior knowledge of a horse's merits —or anything else—to your neigh bour's harm. If you know better than your neighbour you are bound to give him your advice. Instead, you conceal your knowledge to win from h;s ignorance; hence come all sorts of concealments, dodges, deceits—-/ say the Devil ts the only father of it, I hope you have not wCjrj. I should j}ot be, sorry for you to lose. If you fyave wpn I should not congratulate you. If you wisl; to please me, you will give back to its lawful owners the money you have won. If you are a loser ia gross thereby, I will gladly reimburse your losses this time. As you had put in, you could nob in honour draw back till after the event Now you can give back your money, saying you under stand that Mr B. and your father dis approve of such things, and so gain a very great moral influence. Eecojlect always that the stopk argument is It js this: sM y friend would win from me if he could, there fore I have an equtl right to win teem him.'. iNonsense. The same argument would prove that I have a right to maim or kill a man if only I give him leave to maim or kill me if he can and will."
