him fco deny accuracy of the statement he had jasfc made, "When the amount of the land tax was fixed ho failed to see where there could be any objection to fixing a data for the collection of fche tax. De famatory statements had be»n spread broadcast by members opposite regarding [he date of the collection of this tax, but he pointed out £600,000 had to be met annually In October for Interest, and no objection could be taken to fixing that month for the collection. With regard to the Advances to Settlers Act It was remarkable that it was the members who had opposed the Act at every stage through Parliament thai were now bitterly condemn ing the working of the Act. It had hven contended thato the Act had not brought down the rates of interest In the colony, but he showed thab this was exactly whafc the Act had done, and in this respect alone it had done a great work. This department would no more be abolished than the Postal Department. The Opposition had declared that fhe Government could not get money at 3£ per neat or even 4 per cent, and yefc they had successfully raised a loan at three per cent. This showed that the judgment of the Opposition had been greatly at sea, The £160,000 of consols were givrn to the Bank of New Zealand only on nondMon that if the public wanted them they were to have th«m. Any bank in the colony would be glad to get such an investment for its coin reserve, and the Government was justified in getting money at a low rate of interest. In a brief reference to the tariff Mr Ward said that the Govern ment; had based the whole of their proposals on Ue 1894 Canada tariff, Sir Robert Stout; was ungenerous in trying to make eapifial oat of a mistake, but tbsit mistake did not affect the principle, The Government would arrange for an inter change of other articles in placa of fruit and timber, and che exoiaion of these two articles would not affect the treaty. The motion that tha House go into Committee of Supply was then agreed to on the voices. Progress was reported on the Estimates without any items being proved.

The Late Mr Geo. Hart.

The late Mr George Hart, whose death occurred on Monday last, was born in London In 1820. He came to the colony in 1843, in the ship Mary, in company with Ms brother, the late Hon. Robert Hart. They settled ab Wellington, and for many years took an active part in promoting the welfare of the colony. The late Mr George Hart took a trip to England and returned in 1850 to Canter bury, but afterwaids went back to Wellington, where he became a member of the Provincial Council, and was in 1859 Speaker of that body. He again returned to Canterbury, having tat en up land at Winchmore, and at the lime of his death was the owner of that estate. He became a member of the Provincial Council of Canterbury, and of the Land Board and other bodies, and when the provinces were abolished he represented Coleridge for a time in the House of Representa tives. For the liat ten years the late Mr Hart had taken no active p*rt in politics, although he interested himself in many ways in matters pertaining to the welfare and progress of the colony. His wife and a grown-up famiiy survive him. For the last year he bore uncomplainingly a severe and at times painful illness. The funeral of the deceased gentleman took place to-day.
