PARLIAMENTARY.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Wellington, September 20 The House met at 2.30 p.m *' THE SLAUGHTER, OF THE INNOCENTS."

Mr Seddon said he would inform the House on Tuesday what Bills Govern ment intended to drop. THE TARIFF.

Mr Ward moved that the House go into Committee of Ways and Means. Mr Miller moved as an amendment " that in the opinion of this House there were gome articles omitted from the tariff

which were more suitable for taxation

than many ot those which were provided for, and thafc steps should be taken to have this remedied." He did not move the amendment In any hostile spirit, but he thought it might serve to call the at tention of the House to two question?, viz.. whether private members had a voice in the taxation of the country, and whether it was. advisable to itcreasa the excise duty on colonial baer, j

Mr Seddan hoped the Hoose would now get to work seriously with the tariff it w&!i necessary to go into Committee of Ways and Means to make the sohedules of the Bill correspond with the resolutions passed by the House. It was undeniable that some items were omitted from taxa tion which might be included, bufc it was simply impossible to bring down a fraritt fco please everybody. He hoped, there fore, the House would negative the amendment.

Mr R McKenzie urged the redaction j of taxation on articles used by the! miners. j

Mr Millar's amendment was losfc by 33 to 22, and the House went into Com mittee of Ways and Means. Several minor alterations in the Tariff resolutions were formally agreed to, discussion being reserved for the schedule of the Bill

Mr Thomas McKenzie moved an addi tional resolution providing for the free admission of certain classes of fhnnel ettep, but this was losfc by 42 to 17. He also moved a proviso to the fruit duties thab from the 30.h April to the 30ch .November in each year, no duty exceed ing a halfpenny per pound be levied or collected on apples and pears imported Into New Zealand

Mr Seddon objected to this attempt to defeat by a side wind what the House had already decided. The proviso was carried by 30 to 29 Mr Maslin moved that the item rice be added to the free list). Lost by 34 to 25

Mr Carnell moved that cement required for harbor works be admitted duty free

Mr Ward said the revenue could not afford this loss ; besides a'l 1' cal bodies were as much entitled to this concession as Harbor Boards

After a very long discussion Mr Carnell accepted the suggestion of Mr Thomas Me Ken 2'e to mak<j the amendment apply to the cement used by all local governing bodies The amendment was lost by 36 to 18 Mr Millar moved an amendment to provide that spirits received into the colony must have been three years in bond. He did ttiis In order to check the admission of a cheap class of spirits

The Chairman ruled the amendment out of order, but said Mr Millar could bring it forward when in Committee on the Bill

Mr R. McKensie moved that the duty on candles be reduced from 2d to Id per pound. Lost by 35 to 18 The House rose at 5,30 p.m. The Honse resumed at 7.30 p m. The resolutions from the Committed of Ways and Means were reported to the House.

The Customs and Fxcise Duties Bill was further considered in Committee,

On the item fruit being reached the amendment which was carried earlier In the proceedings, viz , that between April and November only- fa duty of id should be charged on apples and pears, evoked another discussion. Id wa& suggested to alter the dates to between May and No vember but this was ruled out of order.

Ths original resolution was confirmed by 30 to 29.

4 motion to reduce tho duty on pre served milk from 25 per cent, ad valorem to 20 per cent., was last by 39 to 22. Motions to reduce the duties on pickles and sacces were both lost.

Tea—sd per lb until 31<>t December, 1895 and 4d thereafter,

Mr McGowan moved that tea be re duced to 4d instead of 53.

On a division 5d was struck out by 36 to 22.

Mr Eanoshaw moved to redone the duty to 3d.

The Premier said ifc was evident thafc bhe last vote meant that the House wanted to make the doty 4d. If a reduction was made to 3d the Government wou d have to refuse to make the reductions they had promised in tha other items, as they could nob do without revenue. He impressed on the House that the Government could not submit to any weakening of their finance. After a short discussion, Mr IJutton and Mr Alien, as members of the Oppo sition, said that after the statements of the Premier and Mi Ward, they would not assist in weakening the Government finance. Mr McGowan'a amendment was carried by 41 to 1% Mr Collins moved that in addition to the duty of 4d pet lb on tea an extra duty of Id per lb be placed on all tea in packetH of 19 b weight and under. Mr Ward accepted the amendment, but the chairman ruled it out of order. Captain Bussell moved to reduce the duty on patent medicines from 40 per ceafc to 25 per cent. The motion was Josb by 31 to 25.

Mr Larnach moved that the duty on British snd foreign made wearing apparel be reduced from 40 per cent ad valorem to 2.5 per cent. Captaiyi Russell characterised this as almost a contemptible appeal to the trades unions whohad never aogges'fil tMsdtry. After a very long discussion Mr Lar nach's amendment was rejected by 41 to 16. Mr G. 3. Smith moved that Turkey twill, printed cotton dress fabrics under 4d per yard be taken from cottoj goods 20 per cent and paced at 10 per cent. The motion was carried by 30 to 25. Laces ware ad'ed to clothing and textile goods on which twenty per cent ad valorem to to be charged. Mr T. McKetizie proposed to admit flannelettes duty free, except white and self-colored, bein? imitations of colonial flannel, Welsh, Lancashire, and Saxony, ill td; which wera to be charged ten per dil valorem. I his was lost by 41 to 13

At this stage (2.10 a.m.) several mem bers urged that 1 progress ehould be re ported, as the text ifcem on the boob tariff would probably occupy several hours in discussion. Mr Crowther suggested the Committee should adjourn now, and meet to-morrow evening. Mr Seddon was agreeable to thia course. The motion to report progress was carried by 38 to 20. Mr Seddon moved thsfj tbe House ad-

foam till Saturday at 7 30. Captain Russell contended the Standing Orders would not allow of this motion feeing brought on without notice, but the Acting Speaker ruled against him, and Mr Beddon's motion was carried by 32 to 21. The House rose at 2.40. a.m.

AsarrAii hoi»«k pauadb-

[ Committke of Management.—Messrs M. htitt, J. Small, Denis McKendry, B i Miller, J, Shearer, C. Reid, and J. Giimour. Secretary—Mr W. Simpson. The stud horse parade was held to-day in Mona Square as on the last two f ccasiuns, the locality having been found more convenient than the iSaleyards for the purpose, on account of its proximi y fo town, the only Improvement needed being a clore fence to circumyent the meanness of those who take advantage of the open ground to view the exhibition without, paying the email fee of on* shilling charged for admission. ihe threatened south-wester cleared off, and the day was cool and pleasant, although we imagine exhibitors, as well as farmers generally, would have been more rejoiced than otherwise to have seen a good downpour after the late dry weather. Of last year's exhibits there were absent on the preaenb occasion two draughts, one thoroughbred and five roadsters.and carriage horses, On the other hand there were on the programme one fresh draught, one thoroughbred, and eight roadsters. The total entry was (with the new class for ponies, one entry) twenty for this season as against seventeen last, as shown ; below :-»•

DRAUGHTS

Mr John Gilmuur was again represented Vy onr old favorite Kelvin, who carries his years well and loses little in muscle or activity.

Mr John Small had the we'l known Lord Cranley, and a three-year-old colt Glenlie by this fine horse on the ground. The youngater is a stout one that wijl pay for more care than appears to h*ve been bestowed on him during the past winter.

Mr R. Clarke's King's Pride, by King of the Vanquishers, is a big horse with a great quantity of hair, that will no doubt suit some breeders' fancy. Mr Rodger's Cavalier was in the best show condition of the lot, and our favor able impression of hiir last season is con firmed by further inspection, and was justified by the favor he met with in the district he travelled.

Mr Fitzgerald's Empercr is a nice brown horse, active, and much improved since we saw him at the show.

ROADSTERS AND CARRIAGE HORSES

Ihese animals made an extremely fine show, the best ws remember to have seen here.

Mr D. McLean's Mambrino Mac, look ing well and full of quality, led the string.

Mv Dennis McKendry's Road Metal, a bay colt by General Tracey, is a stout coit, four years, with fine action, and wonderfully well put together. The same gentleman's three-year-old Experience, by the same horse, is a big good-looking colt, that only wants age to till him out. They are a remarkably good pair.

Mr J. StringfeJlow'a Oamelford is a handsome brown colt, by Camel, a good deal like his sire, but more compact. Mr J, Oass' three year-old Coolgardie, by Camel, a nice looking good tempered colt.

Messrs Mangin and Wilson's brown colt Sacramento, has great fctyle &nd action, and locks all over the speedy one he has proved on tha trotting track

Mr Srrachan'a Silvester, by Roueer, has filled out as predicted.

Mr Max Friedlander's Blackwood Abdullah is too well known to require mnch notice beyond saying that he does not look like wearing out just yet.

The same genileman'a Black Cave, three years, by Blackwood Abdallah—Miss Cave, is a handsome brown colt, with good bone and joints, weil furnished, and generally a very hard one to beat.

Mr D. McCormiek'd brown horee Balti more is a stout, hardy looking animal, by Blackwood Abdalhh, a winner on the track, and should be a serviceable sire. THOROUGHBREDS.

Mr T. Holmes' St Ives, although, as most of the rest, rather backward in the coat, was looking well.

Mr S. Brown's well bred Gorton also looked much better than lasb season. He carries himself well in the ring, and had many admirers.

Mr J. Macdonnell's bay horse Marl borough, by St George, is all quality, and very handsome and well put together, and by all appearance sound, in spite of his long list of wins and good time under all sorts of weight. PONIES.

From the number of ponies in the district, we expected to see more than one entry. However, that one, Mr J Stalker's What's Wanted, by Alladin, was a ho&t in himself, a regular little castle, and as active as a kitten. He is thirteen hands high and % miniature cab.

" Perhaps you would not think bo, but a very large proportion of diseases in New York coires from carelessness about catching cold," says Dr Cyrus Edson. {|fc is such a simple thiug and so common that very few people, unless it is a case of pneumonia, pay any attention to a cold. There are a great many cases of catarrh and consumption which have their origin in this neglect of the simplest precaution of everyday life. The most sensible advice is, when you have one, get rid of it as soon as possible. By all means do not naglect it,' Dr Edson does not tell you how to cure a cold but we will. Take, Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It will relieve the lungs, aid expectoration, open the secretions and soon effect a perma nent cure. i?Q£ sale by Ashbuyton Drug
