Ashburton Gusrdian MAGNAEST VERTAS ET PRÆVALEBIT SATURDAY, JUNE 29 1901.

I'\ hi action of the Ooman nwe»lth Parliament, :n expelling Mr Findley one of its members because a paper with which he is connected, rppublinhed the libel on the King which wag recently printed m The Irish People sh likely to lead to trouble. The member referred to emphatically assured tbfl House tbat he had no sympathy with the action of the paper m repubiishing the matter complained of; tbat he was not aware it bad been reprinted until His attention bad been draws to it; that he apolo gised to the Home and expressed his regret for what had happened ; and finally that he was prepared to sever his connection with the paper whioh had re publif had the libel m question Yet m epheofthis, ani ignoring suggestions from other members of the Home that extreme measures were not necessary to uphold the dignity of Parliament, and to vindicate loyalty to the throne, the Premier wonld be satisfied with nothing short of the expulsion of Mr Findley from the House. This is a step which nothing but extraordinary circumstances eonld justify, m any ot the countries where British constitutional go?ernmf»nt proraits, and we think tbat the resulfc will be found much more serious than Mr Barton appears to anticipate. Tiewed apart from the fervid loyalty which seems to bare almost intoxicated the people of those col nies, the action [of the Commonwealth Premier is ex j tremely indiscreet, It has not only advertised the comparatively obscure journal which reproduced the libel published m Ireland, bnt it. has magni< fied the libel itself to an extent that cannot fail to be prejudicial to the object that Mr Burton professes to have m view. We are surprised that a gentleman holding the position Mr Barton does, should have made such a mistake. The reaction ban already set m, and we may vest assured tbat Mr Findley, who his just been expelled from the Commonwealth Parliament, ostensibly for disloyalty to the King, will be gent hack triumphantly by his , constituents. The issues will be con fused, and any actual disloyalist* who may deal with the incident will point! to the fact as a justification of the j libel, whereas the return of Mr Findley wag a foregone conclusion, because he ban been treated with apparent m | justice. Fvery Fritishor resfii.ts this j sort of thing,and we venture to say that unleßs there is something m this business not yet made public, Mr Findley will go b»ck m triumph. This will bring ft bout a curious state of aff lire, and we fnacy it will give Mr Barton some trouble to gfit things (joins: smoothly again Since the Findley incident whs cabled, it has been announced that several Australian papers h>iv*» reprinted the article from the Irish People that oontained the libel complained of Tf thpsp journals have no rwpreeentativea m P*rli»ment, how does Mr Barton propose to paninh them f As history has a wny of repeat ing itself, it would not now be matter for sarprisß if Mr Findlny hrc!»me a colonial John Wilfees, and Btuienta of history will watch the development of this expulsion business with much interest.

THE ROYAL VISIT

THE DUKE'S MESSAGE TO NEW ZEALAND.

HIS RKGBET AT LEAVING.

THANKS FOB ENTHUSIASTIC TREATMENT.

The following wac the farewell message hy the Duke of York to the people of New Zealand :— Dunedin, June 27. Dear Lord R&nfurly,—On the eve of oar' departure I am anxious to tell the people of New Zealand how happy we have been m their beautiful land, with what regrets we leave it, and what lasting feelings of gratitude we carry away, for the loyal enthusiasm, cordiality and kind heartednesa so universally accorded to us throughout our stay. I would ask you to convey to the Government oar warmest thanks for all their thoughtful and admirably carried out plans for the accommodation, comfort and entertainment of ourselves and our staff, m addition to the Government Houses at Auckland and i Wellington, where yon so kindly entertained v*. Both there and m other oiUes and towns, hotels were engaged fot our use, private individuals and members of clubs moat generously placed their houses at our disposal, and we know that similar hospitality awaited us at those places whioh, unfortu nately, from want of time, it was not possible to via St. Railway arrangements have been invariably excellent, and everything possible was done to ensure safety and comfort on our journeys, though I fear this mnst have entailed muoh extra work upoc the officials and employees, as well as inconvenience to the travelling public Every little attention was shown by the Post and Telegraph Departments and thoir work was promptly and efficiently carried out. The police service throughout the colony was most satisfactory, and was performed with conspicuous tact and judg ment-. The reviews at Auckland and Ohristohuroh, at which ail branches of the New Zealand forces were represented,nnabled me to foim some idea of the oolony's splendid fighting material, and brought home to me more than erar the enormous accession of strength which ths Empire oan oount upon if need should ariae. The cheerfulness with whioh the volunteers onma together, m many instances travelling long distance*, both by land and sea, it as worthy of the highest praise. I was proud beyond measure to witness the enthusiast io reception which was everywhere acoerded to the contingents whith have returned from South Africa. I j was particularly interested m the cadet corps, some of whioh showed marked steadiness on parade, and when lining the streets. The appearance and the murch ■ past of the corps at Christoburch wefe especially creditable. I venture to think that this movement, is deserving of every encouragement, parti* ilariy as regards the provision of properly trained instructors, »b apart from its physical benefits ib infuses into the rising generation a spirit of discipline and esprit do corps whioh must tend to make them better citizens as well am good soldiers. I learn with much pleasure that among the contingents sent to South Africa were many representatives of school oadafe corpe, and that m one instance no fewer than between 60 and 70 from a single corps joined the force. I was specially glad to meet) face to face the Maori people, to have witnessed their vast and interesting gathering at> Rotorua, j and to have had personal ft tendty intercourse with their leading chiefs atsd representatives. It was gratifying to bear Llieir assurance of ; loyalty to the King, their expressions of sorrow for their dearly beloved Queen, and ' to experience their enthuiiasm and warm* ness of heart towards ourselves. lam glad ! to think that this anoient and chivalrous race is living m peace and prosperity, and sharing with their pakeha brothers the duties and responsibilities of good citiainship. To your Premier, who has accompanied us on all occasions, we would ask you to convey our warmest thanka for his oourtesy and attention And untiring energy, which have m no pm»ll degrod contributed to makii.fc I our etiy m Now % aland so enjoyable. The Ouchabcand I arp sincerely grateful io you and to Lady Ranfurly for your kind hospitality, and for vfur unceasing care and troubif, »od the forethought which you ha^e displayed ,on our behalf. We shall look back with the plea&antest recollections to those happy days which wo spent as your guest*. My best thanks are also due to your stuff for the cheerful and assiduous manner with which they have coped with the vaat increase of work thrown upon them m oonetqaeDce of our visit Though, unfortunately, our stay has from the force of circumstances been a short one, I oirnestly trust that the experience and knowledge of the country whioh I have gained, jind my personal intercourse with its people, may m some mt asnre tend to sustain and enhance the existing feeling of sympathy and interest between the Mother Country and New Zealand, and than draw still o'oser those ties of affection an i brotherhood by which we are co happily united, Heartfly wishing that the steady growth and prosperity of thu country may ever continue, believe me, dear Lord Rtnfurly, very sincerely yours, ( GEOKGE.
