N.S.W. POLITICS.

Sidney, May 23 The correspondence between Sir H Parkes and Sir G. R. "Dibbs has been published. The former writes :— " You and I have been drawn into the same side in a contest which will form an epoch in the political history of the country. The power which has been kindling in men's breasts during the last three or four years has burst the bonds of local jealousy and provincial darkness, and the new day of a Federal Ministry is in sight. Before the change of Ministry in 1891, I took Up the belief that Australian union would never be brought about until the old provincial parties rose to the level of the new and mighty work of nation making. Let us be thankful that by the impact of differing minds a clearer and fuller light will be dif fused upon the path to a wider, grander and more abiding arena of patriotic service. It is right that the struggle between provincial freetrade and provincial protection should cease because neither holds any place before the resistless vave of federal thought a,ad aotion. It is for narrow-minded men like Mr Reid to talk of that im possible thing, provincial freetrade, and prate in his brazen-faced manner at the same time of federation by wWch the provincial Customhouse must of necessity be swept away. Gan there be any man so susceptible to delusion mi to believe him ? Our action is not a coalition, but a rallying of patriotic men of all creeds round the standard of Australian union to, which we have nailed our colors." ' 3irG. R Dibbs writes to Sir H» Farkes:—"l desire to say lam fully in accord with four opinion that the interests of the country would be best served by each of us extinguishing the personal antagonism which may have been allowed to influence our minds in the past I heartily join in burying the political hatchet, so that whatever ability each may possess may be allowed to operate in union for the country's benefit. "With regard to the future it is sufficient that we agree that in Mr Reid and his Government the welfare of the country is being endangered. Personally I cannot see anything but that the greatest injury to the advancement of the country must follow his rule and mode of Go vernment, and I fall fu'ly into line with that portion of your pronunciamento which allows the fiscal question to remain in statu quo until the general question of federation is accomplished. Were the country relieved of the Reid Government, then it would be for the joint party to decide upon a policy and , apon a leader, and in this event, if the public interests require it, I would willingly stand aside for a better man. Accepting your letter in the frank, conciliatory tone, and in the spirit of friendship in which it is written." The Premier says of these letters that there is nothing in real or comic history approaching the Parkes-Dibbs correspondence.. A few years ago each of these gentlemen swore nothing but the grave could efface their personal hostility. This has been realised in a sense little dreamt ot, because no doubt these two letters be token the political grave for them both. To see these two venerable poli tical strategists simulating the most artless affection is very amusing but slightly sickening, as the motive is so transparent and mean. The debate was still continning at 10 a.m. A division is expected this afternoon.

Sir G. R. Dibbs and Sir Henry Parkes, between whom strained re lations have existed for some time, shook hands this morning, and sub-

sequently breakfasted together. Later.

. The censure debate dragged wearily , and was spiritless thoughout the day, and to-night at 11.30 there was no sign of a division. The Premier is determined to see the debate through "before rising. . Besides the amendment by Sir Henry Parkes, Mr Schey has moved to refer the fiscal issue to * Referendum.

Mr Bwing also moved an amend ment, condemning the policy of the Government, at it would make Kanaka labor inevitable.

Mr Oopeland, speaking to the motion, regretted the days of battle- Axes had gone, otherwise he could physically defend the industries pro tected by the tariff. Sir Henry Parkes made a personal explanation, and said he had not joined the protectionists, but was simply de voting the energies of his life to the cause of union, and would not assist protestion except to prevent a tinker ing with the tariff to the detriment of federation.

V' Sydney, Maf 24 In the Legislative Assembly,, the de bate on the censure motion and Amendments was continued until half an hour after midnight, when Mr Schey's amendment to refer the fiscal issue to a referendum was negatived toy 74 to 25. A division was then taken on Sir Henry Patkes' original motion of censure, whicl| was rejected .by 67 t033. The Sydney Morning Herald, refer ring to the decision, says— ■" We have ■ now an end t)f the episode in the politi cal life of the ■cjoniJtry which none of its promoters had ever any reason to be .iproud of, and the question has ended in an overwhelming defeat of the unholy coalition." Government, it WJB, is in b, stronger position than ever before, and however badly some of the prominent reputations may have suffered shipwreck, Parliament as a Whole stood the test in a way which

■will increase the estimate held cf it in the mind of the country.

Th&Pdily Ttffyrmk says that for! qnpe the Protectionists have been too plever for Sir Henry Parkes, whose old political hand has lost its cunning; and in manoeuvring for place even Sir G. B. Dibbs hopelessly out-generaled him. It says they have yoked Sir Henry Parkes to a bogged car in pro vincial trriffism, which is a most de plorable muddle for him to end his political career in. Had Sir Henry Parkes been faithful to his own princi pies and party in this miserable busi ness as the Dibbles have been to theirs, ibe 'fytyrttP% 'w8 we sb<wld never have been pained to set him in the posjUfan whiph he now occupies.

The question, involved is of general in terest, as if judgment is given for plaintiff, when once a person endorses on his policy an apportionment of the Insurance moneys it is irrevocable unless he expressly reserves to himself the right of rev^c itio:.
