PARLIAMENTARY.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Wellington, October 7 The House met at 7 30. IN COMMITTEE

The House went into Committee on the Lands for Settlement Act Amendment Bill

The Minister of Lands asked for leave to refer to what had taken place with re gard to the connection between the Government land polioy and the troubles of the Bank of New Zealand. He went on to explain that the troubles hid arisen before the present Government; came into office

Mr Joyce (acting Chairman of Com mittees) asked if the Minister wan making a personal explanation, and, as this was not so, h& ruled ihat the explanation must be deferred till the third reading

The M. mister said that he only wished to explain, as harm might be done owing to his former remarks being misunder stood. However, he would certainly go into the matter on the third reading Mr Buddo moved an amendment authorising the Minister to appoint a Consulting Board, consisting of members of local bodies in the various districts in connection with the purchase ot estates The motion was lost MrJ. McKensie moved, on behalf of Captain Russell, a new clause providing that wbwn two or more persons are farm ing in partnership, each of them shall be allowed the same limitations and con ditions as prescribed for each person as the prescribed maximum in the original Act

The Minister offered to agree if it was limited to nofc more than two persons in partnership The new clause was read a second time by 30 to 21, The effect of the new clause allows each of two partners ro retain the prescribed maximum fixed in the principal Act

Mr G. W. Russell moved as an amend ment that in order to come under tha provisions of the above clause a partner ship must have existed for at least two years prior to any directions by the Minister for opening negotiations.— Carried

The Minister of Lands moved the fol lowing x>rcviao— That for the purposes of this section no person shall be deemed to be a partner whose share h less than that prescribed by the maximum.— Carried

Sir Robert Stoufc said that this proviso made the whole ol*use so idiotic that he would vote for striking out the whole of ib

The clause was added to the Bill by 28 to 25

Ms? T. Mackenzie moved on behalf ©f Captain Russell that an owner In addition to the prescribed maxi mum may retain for each child 600 acres of first-class land, 1000 acres of second class land and 2000 acres of pastoral land This was lost.

The Minister of Lands moved that un formed and unused road-lines intersecting land acquired may be closed by Gazette notice with the consent of the local body. —Carried

The Mini&ter of Lands also moved a clause giving the Land Board power to deal with small areas of Crown lands adjacent to land acquired under the principal Acfc The Land and Income Assessment Act Amendment Bill was further considered in Committee.

Sir R. Stout and others protested against clause 9, providing that the tax on Maori 'and shall take effect from March, 1894, as being retrospective taxa tion

The Treasurer denied thia and declared that the clause only made the intentions of the Act ciear

Eventually the clause was amended by striding oi3b *ne retrospective provision, the division being 25 to 23

In the same clause the provision making the land tax a permanent one on native leases was struck out on tbe voices, in order to make the clause conform -with the previous ameni ments. The clause ac amended was then passed On the motion of Mr Ward a new clause was added providing that commercial travellers to the colony from Kngland or Australia shall pay a license fee not exceeding £50 m lieu of paying income tax

This clause waa carried by 41 to 11 The Bill waa then reported with amendments which were agreed to, and the third reading wae set down for next) day. LAND TO* SETTLEMENT The Lands for Settlement Act Amend ment Bill was repor ed from Coaamittee, and the third reading fixed for next day. The House rose at 1 30 a. m.

Hampstead Town Board.

The monthly meeting of the Hampstpad Town Board was held on Monday evening. Present—Messrs W. Mcßae, A. Hendry, 0. Truckle, and W. Pdtten. Mr Mcßae waa voted to the chair. An apology was received from Mr Andrews for non attendance. LOCAL GOVERNMENT BILL Letters and copies of resolutions were read from Mr Andrews and the Ashburton Borough Council in reference to the above Bill, and the inclusion ti Hamp atead district in the Ashburton Borough ; and consideration o£ the subject was held over until the Chairman (Mr Andrews) should be present. SMALL BIRDS A report of the Small Birds Conference was received from fche County Ccancil. RATE ROIL The Clerk reported that Mrs Chambers had no tenancy, and was not therefore legally entitled to have her name placed ou the roll for Mr Stewart's section. Mr B. Carter applied to have hia name taken off the roll for a section he never owned. The Clerk waa authorised to make enquiries and have the matter rectified if necessary. KBSERVE! 1415 The tenant ot this reserve applied to have the term of his lease extended for three years. It was decided to cancel the present leaee (havinga yeat to run) and grant a fresh lease at the same rent for' three years from the present date. water supply As no communication Ead been received from the County Council, since the agree ment made with the mill owners, in reference to the Netherby water supply extension, the Clerk was instructed to ascertain if the work would now be carried out at the original estimate of £9.

The Hospital Concert.

ihe Liedevkrat .% gave a most successful concert la=,t night iti Sit -Stephen's school room in aid of the [,ia 10 fund for the hospital. The cold weather and perhaps attractions interfered with the I attendance to Hume extent, aa although i there was a fairly good house, the room could have seated a good many more people. But those who did attend enjoyed a treat they ware not slow to r appreciate. Four pieces were given by ■ the Liedeikranz, under the baton of Mrs Bowman Fox, the conductress, each of which went with just the amount of energy requiyite, while every point- was taken correctly and with promptitude, betokening careful drill and plenty oi practice. Nor was the expression for gotten in any of the four, or wanting in she smallest detail. The pieces were set in three parts, and the apportionment of the parts waaso just that in neither could there be said to be any preponderance, although vi.due prominence might have been looked for with six such voices as those to whom the lower part was entrusted But the alto singers knew choir work and did it, keepi g their place well. The pieces comprised a sweet quotation from Wagner, ' Bright is the morn' ; Thome's setting of Shakespeare's song, * Hark 1 hark! the lark at heaven's gate sings,' a setting with which Ash burton audiences have not hitherto been familiar, but will doubtless welcome for its tunefulness and the grace of its cadences ; two of Smart's pieces, k The bird at sea ' and ' Hail to thee, child of earth '; the lighter number * Funiculi,' Mrs Williams taking the solo. The lady vocal soloists were Mesdames Denshire, Mayne, and Brooke, and Misses Venie Flower, Henry, and Kathleen Orr, names pleasantly familiar to most people in the town who care for a good song well sung, and none of whom belied their well earned reputation. Mr W. B. Dixon's excellent tenor voice we would wish fco be more familiar. He has sung to an Aehburton audience on several occasions previously, and always with ac ceptance, and last night he was as brilliant as erer, as his welcome showed, and as his Interpretation of the two numbers set agtlnst his name fully justified. The Rev T. A. Hamilton was the other gen le man singer, and did the work given him to do faithfully and well. It is super fluous to give praise to Miss Dickinson for her violin playing. Suffice it to say that both In her solos, and the delightful obbligatoshe gave to Mra Brooked song, her music was charming in the highest degree, and earned for her the heartiest appkuse. Mrs Donald McLean's name is one fco conjure with in Ashburton in re gard to the piano, and her solo was a finished performance ; nor was the duet less so in which she took part with Mrs Bowman Fox. Mrs May do and Mibs Macdonnell did good work in accom panying the singers, Miss Corbitb also assisting in this direction. Before the lasb nnmber of the programme was given, Dr Travor, in one of his characteristically aeatspeeches, thanked theLiederkranchen and their conductress, and the ladies and gentlemen who had assisted at the enter tainment for thia effort in behalf of the hospital, acknowledging the noble spirit , that had prompted them in endeavoring to do something towards bringing some of the light and sweetness of life into the long hours of suffering which have to be endured by many patients in an hospital

BOROUGH COUNCIL.

The fortnightly meeting of the Aahbur ton Borough Council was held on Monday evening. Present—The Mayor (presiding) and Crs Orr, Thomas, Reid, and Bird. Apologies were tendered for the absence of Crs Paul, Brooke, Baker, and Cuth bertson, leave being granted to the two first mentioned. FINAKOE The Mayor said the overdraft at the bank stood at £1747 14s 2d, and the income received from all sources for the fortnight had amounted to £32 19a 6d. COBRES PON DENCE

Messrs Friedknder Bros, wrote, asking for leave to remove a weigh bridge, which application was referred to the Reserves Committee to report. MrO. W. Purnell, solicitor, sent in his opinion on the question of ruinous build ings, which was referred to the By-Laws Committee, FIRE BRIGA.DE The names of Messrs Cleaver and Leitch were approved as new members of the Fire Brigade, and Fireman Parkin was appointed assistant engineer, vice Pauling promoted. THE DKILL SHED The Drill Shed had been licensed as a public hall for the* Band's concert, and I for that night the fee was remitted.

INSURANCE

The By-laws Committee reported that two insurance delegates were coming to Ashbnrton to value the whole of the insurance risks in the district, and recom mended that the by-laws matter stand over till after the report. engineers' rbpokt. The Engineers' raport waa read. It dealt wholly with the work of the labor gang, and the unemployed, and was adopted LICENSES Several petrolura licenses were granted. MISCELLANEOUS Some minor business having been transacted, the Council passed accounts to the amount of £117 18s 4d and sat as a DOMAIN BOARD Some unimportant business was transacted and it was decided to offer a reward of £10 for the conviction of persons guilty of interfering with the wildfowl, or stealing flowers. Steps were also ordered to be taken to prevent the trespass of cattle.

The Drought.

Adelaide, October 8

The Queensland border country is ia a deplorable condition owing to the drought. Many cattle are dying, and teams are unable to travel consequent on the great scarcity of necessaries. In some districts even the water holes which wpre supposed to be inexhaus tible have dried up.

LATEST CABLE NEWS.

THE 33JEAIN tr'ASHS.

Sydney, October 7 Owing to the holiday there is no further development of tfce Dean case

The preliminary hearing of the charge against Messrs Meagher, Crick, and Dean will begin on Thursday.

September 8

The Crown authorities are busy preparing the case for the prosecution. They have thoroughly examined all the papers found in Messrs Crick and Meagher's offices, but nothing new of

importance has been discovered. While it is probable several further arrests will be made, it is certain pro ceedings will be taken against a fourth individual, if he can be found. A warrant has been issued, but so far the police have failed to trace him. He is in no way connected with the alleged poisoning, but it is alleged that whilst cognisant of Dean's posi tion he took an active part in the agitation for the appointment of a commission.

Smith is being kept carefully out of the way by the prosecution.

Mr Crick intends to defend his own case, but Me Barton will defend Mr Meagher.

. The case being sub judice, it is very doubtful whether Mr Orick will be allowed to speak in the Assembly to day regarding his arrest, as he pro poses. He hoida tha^i noting can prevent him, and declares his intention of ventilating the whole matter; but it has been invariably the practice of the Speaker in the past not to allow matters is this position to be dis cussed.

A FEW INCHES OF PLAIN ENGLISH

1 Nowadays men are doing all sorts of wonders by means of electricity, both in mechanics and in chemistry. I see by the papers that they expect to be able to produce real diamonds by it. Perhaps they may ; marvels never cease. But we will wait till they do before we crow over that job. Up to this time, anyway, everything that is both valuable and useful is the fruit of hard work. Even diamonds are mostly got out of rocky mines. And, within reasonable limits, it is good for us to have to work. Ten shillings honestly earned is better for a man than twenty in the shape of a legacy The best condition of things for any oountry would be when fair wages could be earned straight along, without loss or deduction for any reason. But in the present aspect of human affairs this is impossible. Whose fault it is we cannot now discuss

One source of loss, however, is plain enough, and some remedy for it ought to be found. In England and Wales every work ing man averages ten days of illness per year, making the total loss of wages from this cause about £16 000,000 a year. We are talking of the average, you see, Bufc inasmuch as all working-men are not ill every year, this average does not fairly show ths suffering and loss of those who are ill. In any given year many will lose no time, at all, while others may lose individually from ten days to six months each. No charity, no savings, no income from clubs, etc,, can make up for this—even in money alone, to say nothing of the pain and the misery Alluding to an experience of his in 1888 Mr George Lagdon says, 'I had .to give up my work.' How this came to pass he tells us in a letter dated from his home in White House Road, Stebbing, near Dunmow, August 24, 1892. He had no inherited disease or weakness", so far ad he knew, and was always strong and well up to April of that year—lßßß, Then his strength and energy began to leave him. He felc tired, not as from work, but as from power gone out of him through some bodily failure. He sat down to his meals, but not with his old eagerness and relish There was a nasty coppei-like taste in his mouth his teeth and tongue were covered with slime, and his throat clogged with a kind of thick phlegm, difficult to ' hawk up ' and eject

He also speaks of a nagging pain in the stomach, fUtulency, and much palpitation of the heart as having been among his symptoms. As the ailment—whatever it was—progressed he began to have a hacking cough which, he says, seemed as if it must shake him to pieces. lie could scarcely sleep on account of it. One of the most alarming featuies of his illness, however, were the night sweats, for the reason that they showed the existence of a source of weakness which must soon, unless arrested, end in total prostration. In fact he was obliged to give up his work altogether. To him—-as to any once active man—this was like being buried alive

One doctor whom Mr Lagdon consulted said he was consumptive, and it did indeed look that way. ' For twelve weeks,' he says, ' I went on like this, getting weaker and weaker, and having reason to believe that ib would end in my taking the one journey from which no traveller returns!

It was now July—summer time, when life to the healthy is so pleasant and full of hope. At this time my sisteran-law got from Mr Linsells (Stebbing) a medicine that I had not tried yet. After having used one bottle I felt better, and when I had used the second £1 was cured, and have not lost an hour's work since.'

The reader will notice that between the date of his taking this medicine and the date of his letter there is an interval of four years. We may, therefore, infer that his cure was real and permanent. The medicine, by the way, was Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. It is not likely he will forget its name nor what it did foir him. His disease was indigestion and dyspepsia, the deadly enemy of every labouring man or woman under the sun, no matter what they work at or work with—hands, brains, or both

Is ifc necessary to draw a 'moral '—school book style—from these facts? No, • ifc is nob. We have talked plain English, and that is enough.
