The Liquor Bill.

The following appeared in our town edition of yesterday : — Mr Crowther urged that there should be only two issues put to the people iu votiug on the liquor question. He couli not think Mr Seddon had been a party to the stone wall. He would vote against the Bill. The Premier in reply said it had not been the lot of any Premier to meet with the difficulties he had met with in passing this liquor legislation and he did not think any party hut the Liberal party in New Zealand would have surmounted those difficulties. Had he postponed the third reading of the Bill as asked the result would only have been further delayed, i e was not the first who had been charged with insincerity and would not be the last. The leader of the Opposition had said he was against prohibition but his name and the name of every member of the Opposition appeared voting in favour of exaotiy the same bill last year. How could they respect men who say oue thing and act another merely to make capital for use at the ooriring elections. By the silence of the opposition on the aeo >nd reading their consent had been given to the Bill and as leader of the House he had been led into a false position by that silence. He had thought the Bill met with the unani mous support of the House. Mr Seddon defended the conference held on the Bill and accused the Opposition of attempting to oauße a breaoh in the Liberal pirty over this question, but they had been foiled and disappointed. Mr Hutchison was directly interested in the stonewall and would have benefitted by it if the third reading of the Bill had been postponed, it would not have reached the Legislative Council till next week and no doubt meanß would then have been found to block it. He wished to Bettle this question and put it out of the way. Given a fair trial the Bill would Batisfy the liquor trade who were ao much afraid of it and would also prove acceptable to the temperance party. As to the charges of insincerity levelled against him he was satisfied to leave this to he country to judge. To say that the people would not know what they were voting on was to insnlt the intelligence of the people. What he believed would be the verdict at the coming polls was, that wherever liquor is sold it must be controlled. The desires of extremists on either side would be granted. Despite what Government had done for them the Prohibitionists were fighting against them. ((Sties of no). They were, for had they not chosen as a candidate for Wellington suburbs one of the bitterest opponents of the Government. Notwithstanding this, how ever, Government would do what wss right and in the best interests of the people,

THE DIVISION,

At 7 o'clock a division was taken and the 3rd reading of the Bill was carried by 26 to 4

Mr John Small's special prize of £2 2s for competition at the forthcoming Show, should read — For the best three-year-old gelding by any entire.

The third reading the Liquor Bill was under discussion all yesterday morning>the - third reading being eventually carried by 26 to 4.

A cablegram, just received from Thursday Island, states that the barquentine Day spring, has been totally wrecked in Torres straits. It is expected, however, that the cargo will be saved.
