SCOBIE MACKENZIE ON MINIS TERIAL PURITY.

Mr Rolleston'a motion in the House was as follows:-"That in the opinion of this House it is inconsistent with the principles which should guide the atlminisiration of public affairs that Ministers of the Crown Bhould hold positions as directors or advisers of syndicates or companies whose business is likely to bring them into relations with de partments of the St*te." The Premier, aB ib well known, made a no-confidence motion of it, and was victorons by a majority of only six votes. In the course of the debate, Mr 1. >-. Taylor:, referring to the ADgloContinental Syndioate, quoted the Premier** owd words as follows: -•• We have wonderful faoilmes in New Zealand, and we are utilising our country to the best advantage." * hen Mr Taylor made an effective pause, and added, " Some of us are, sir," whereupon members looked at the Premier and laughe.i. mv Taylor, who waß most attentively listened to by a lull House, made a telling denuncia tion of the Premier's connection with the Anglo-Continental Gold -syndicate (Limited). *« Liberalism," he said, "if things go on in thia colony as they are, will in a short time be a synonymous term for looting." There ■was a brief passage of arms between Mr Taylor and Mr Roderick Moiieizie, who is one of the Premier's most servile followers. ••I'm not going to refer to the hon. member for Motueka to-night," sacd Mr Taylor, ia answer to ah interruption. " Oh, goon, go j on, I don't mind," came from Mr M'Kenzie. 1 *«I don't suppose he does," retorted Mr Taylor, " and yet you can get through at certain points in a rhinoceros if you only know where to find them. But I am not rhinoceros shooting to-night, sir." But the speech of the debate was that of Mr Scobie Mackenzie. He said—First of all, let me say that I am one of those who believe m the private integrity of the right hon gentleman the Premier. I do not believe that any hon gentleman placed in his position and trusted by the people would for the sake of any benefit to himself consciously betray the colony. Ido not for an instant, believe there is a member of this House who j oould do such a thing. It would be a libel for anybody to say so. The man who would consciously betray the people who had | irepoaed such trust in him would b3 a forlorn and abandoned scoundrel, and I do nob believe that Buoh a man has ever entered tho House. I believe thoroughly in the hon ( gentleman's integrity, but 1 wish to say a aerious word to him about his position on that syndicate, and I think I can prove to the House, if not to him, that he ought not to be there. Sir, let me state the matter in : the form of an illustration. If a syndicate was formed in London to expend millions of pounds in the purchase of Native lands, i would this House—l am appealing now to the Government followers, the blindest of them—would any honorable member sitting on the other aide of the House tolerate the Minister for Native Affairs acting in the { capacity of paid adviser to such a syndicate? Would it for an instant be tolerated ? Why, the late Minister for Navive Affairs (the | Hon Mr Cadman), when he took office some yeftis ago, was a half partner in a paltry block of a few thousand of acres of land near Woodville, and he had to retire from it when he became Native Minister. It was not a very complete retirement, I know; but I do not desire to go into that, because, in spite of the circumstances, my opinion of 1 the hon gentleman is that there is not a ! more straightforward or honorable man in j this House. Bnt he had to retire from that position because he had a half-share in 2000 , or 3000 acres of Native lands. Why did be retire ? Because the late jtfr Ballance, whom we have had placed on a pedestal by the right hon gentleman opposite—God forbid that I should say anything against the dead, and I do not, for I know nothing—com pelled the hon gentleman to retire from the partnership. lam talking of what I know It was made ft condition that he should dissolve any connection he had with Native j affairs, and ho retired accordingly that he might ba clear to accept office as Native Minister. Let me put another case. Suppos- Inga syndicate was formed toexpenlamiliion of money iv the purchase of urown Landa, would we allow the Minister for Lands to take up a position en that Board?! SJot for an instant, and I am sure the hon. ■gentleman would nob do it. The country would not tolerate it. But if we would not tolerate it in the head of one department can it be tolerated in the Premier, who holds the threade of all the dep irtments in ins hands, and wfco is at the head of or about ifche Fox Exploitation Company, orsomeihmg of that sort? But there is a great principle involved in the matter, and the hon. gentle man's instinct has not enable him to seize the right side of it—namely, that it cannot be tkbfc for a responsible Minister of the ' Crown to take up a position in which his {private interest may at any moment come into conflict with his duty to the country. May they not at any turn in the Mines de partment? Suppose an application was made by the syndicate that a river should be turned into a slulge channel and the in terests of thousands of farmers were de pendent on the decision of the Government. I have confidence, as I bftve said in the hon. gentleman, but he should not allow himself to be placed in Mich a false and invidious position. What confidence coulu people have »s to the decision arrived at i Suppose, again, a question of boundary between two „hims arose before a warden The warden as ab the beck and call of the Minister of the day He may be dismissed or his salary Bnay foe reduced, or he might be sent to the Weat Coast, which I understand to be the severest form of punishment. Can it be right that those wardeue* should be asked to give a decision against the Premier cf the Colony, and can w# be satisfied they would deal with all such matters impartially and judicially, as they should do ? It is not pos sible, and however much confidence he may have in hiwself, he is pkcing himself m a false position. It is a public scandal that it should be so. Su®h a position has never .existed before, and tb* eooner it is put an end to the better.

THE PUREBRED CLYDESDALE STALLION KING OF QUALITY Will Stand at Owner's Farm, Willowby, and travel Longbeach, Wakanui, Westerfield and Ashburton Forks Districts, Will be ab Newman's Stables every SATURDAY. KING OF QUALITY is a dapple bay, risiug five years old, bred by Mr R. Gawu, North Taieri. He is a colt' of great subscance and power, with many points to recommend him to a breeder, has splendid feet and p-xaterns, also great bone, clean and flowing with nice silky hair—the true badge of a well bred Clydesdale. He is a prime mover, has good temper, and sound con stitution. His sj.re is Lion King, by British Lion, imported by Mr Hugh R>e, from Scotland, by Argyle (2567 vol. vi.), rjani Darling by Prince of Wales, (673, vol. i), grand dam Maggie, by LockendGhampiou (448, vol. i). Lion King was first at Dunedin Show as a three-year-old first at Dunedin in 1894 and 1895, for horse with three of his progeny. Lion King's dam Scotch Annie (imported from Scotland; .343, N.Z.5.8.) was a mare belonging to an exceedingly favorable strain of blood. She was shown in New Zealand four times, gaining first and champww upon each occasion. Her sire was Ivanhoe 2nd j (feiQS, S-C.5.8.); grand sire Ivanhoe Ist (imported j lljj?, N-Z.5.8.) He was got by the j great Sir WalterSod'tt, whoße breeding needs j nocomment. Lion King's site.BritishLion.is so favorably known as to need no comment. He was considered by competent judges to b,a one of the best horses ever landed in New Zealand. King of .(Quality's dam, t^ueen of Quality, (608, N Z. 5.8.) show yard* caceer is "so well and favorably known to'breeders, that it is needless £0 go into details ; suffice it to say, she has tafen 14 first pri^s and seven champions j amoDg the others shp was champion mare at the Exhibition Show, Dunedin. This career has stamped her as a mare of unusual excellence; her sire is the ! far-famed Lord Salisbury, who rstired from the show ring an unbeaten horse.
