PARLIAMENT.

Legislative Council

Wellington, Sept 21

The Council met at 2.3!) p.m. The managers appointed to confor with a committee of the Hous9 on the amendment i made by the Council in the New Zealand Univarsity Act Amendment Bill reported that an agreement had been arrived afc. The report was adopted. Tim Wninmrino County Bill was com mitted, and reported with amendments. In moving that the Tied Housea Bill be committed, "Hon. J. Rigg said that in view of the strongly adverse report of the coininittoo to whom the Hill was referred, recommend ing shaY the Bill be not proceeded with, he wished to point out the unfair manner in which the Committee had taken evidence, contending that the Comniitteo had brought to bear an incurable bias against the Bill. He further asserted .that the Committee did not try to elicit evidence in support of the Bill "that correspondence had been suppressed, and that evidence given had been prejudiced by the manner in which witnesses were warned against disclosing information. ■ ■ Hon. Mr Jennings moved an amendment that the debate be adjourned till Friday to enable the Council to be placed in pos session of the evidence taken in committee on' the subject. The amendment was carridd by 18 to 10. The Sharebrokers' Bill was recommitted on the motion of Hon Lee Smith. A share broker was denned to mean any person who buys or sells shares for or on commission. ■ Progress was reported and the Council rose at 4.55 p.m.

House of Representatives.

Wellington, Sept 21

The House met at 2.30 p.m. The Gore Athenaeum Vesting and Empowering Bill (Mr McNab) was intro duced and read a first time.

The agreement arrived at by the Conference between the two Houses <m the subject of the Legislative Council's ameud ments in the New Zealand University Act Amendment Bill was adopted. It provided that in lieu of the words struck out by the House in clause ■ 4'to insert the following words: " Intruding thoso whose names are now on the list of ad euendem graduates, and also such ad eueudem graduates a^ shall hereafter be admitted by any District Court of Convocation." The other amend ments made by the House were accepted. The Public Petitions • Committee recom mended to the favorable consideration of the Government the petition of Mrs Garntlet, of Wellington, praying for additional compensation on account of tha .death of her husband in the Mahanga B.^y torpedo corps by an explosion. The Public Petitions Committee had no recommendation to make on the petition of A. C. Blake, of Mount Cook Boys' School, Wellington, praying for compensation on account of injustice arising out of tha operations of the Public School Toarchers' Salaries Act. Sir J". Ward moved the second reading of the Referendum Bill, to provide for certain Bills and legislative proposals -being re ferred to a poll of the electors of the colony. He explained that the Bill had passed the Lower House by a large majority last session, but it did not get through the other Chamber. There could be no two opinions ha considered, as to the necessity for giving the people an opportunity on many ques tions on which there was great diversity of opinion,of declaring whei her or not legisla tive effect should be given to them. He thought it would be advisable for the Honse to consider when the Bill was in committee the necessity of inserting a proviso to exclude from questions to be submitted to referendum all matters relat ing to the constitution of the General Assembly. If an amendment were made in this direction, the Bill would havo a better chance of passing both Houses this session.

Mr Jas. Allen approved of the general principle of the referendum, but this Bill appeared to him to be an effort not to intro duca, bufc to kill the referendum syatcm. It was too restrictive in character, and he particularly complained that Clause 4 con tained a sub-section which would undesira blv limit the power of submitting to the people a resolution parsed by the House. It would make it almost impossible to refer a resolution of the House to a referendum. Generally, however, ho thought certain restrictions should be made us to questions to be submitted to the people, but the Bill went too far in this direction.

Hon. Major Steward, in referring to Clause 4, said the trouble was that unless a resolution emanated from the Government it was almost hopeless to expact to get it passed in the House. It was desirable, in face of what had happened in another place last session in regard to the Eeferendum Bill, to insert a proviso on the lines sug gested by Sir Joseph Ward. Mr Ell cengratulated the Government upon having introduced this Bill, although from his point of view it contained several defects, the principal of which was that it failed to place any direct power in the hands of the people of initiative of questions to be submitted to the referendum, and he would move in committee to insert an initiative clause.

Mr Carncross did not think the Bill was required. He urged that not sufficient pro vision was made in it for enabling the peeple to gain knowledge of the measure to be submitted to the referendum, and also under the system proposed, the House would have to accept the Bill whii'.h people voted in favour of, though it might require alteration.

Mr Meredith supported the Bill, and Mr Fisher opposed it. Mr Monk did not agree with the referen dum, because he did not think the units of New Zealand were fitted for it.

Mr Massey supported the Bill, which he thought would, if amended in that direc tion, be useful in enabling the people to express an opinion on important legislative proposals. Mr E. M. Smith supported the Bill.

Mr Hanan thought there was a strong demand throughout the colony for a Bill of this kind, but he would have liked it a little more liberal and democratic.

Mr Hone Heke adversely criticised the Bill.

The debate was interrupted by the 5.30 p.m. adjournment.

Dyspepsia and Debility

A LASTING CURE.

! The Case of Mr. J. H. HOOPER.

(By a Chrintchurch Reporter).

lv a country like New Zealand, where the climate is generally favourable for agricultural and pastoral pursuits, it 13 a natural sequence that fine sheep and cattle are reared on the hills and plains which are yearly covered with luxuriant grass Besides affording great scope tor the enterprise of farmers and graziers and men of all grades of industry, New; Zealand possesses natural advantages of such magnificence that it is regarded as an ideal country for tourists. 'ihe temperate heat of summer makes travel ing a pleasure—pvhilst the sharp, frosty atmosphere during the winter months has a bracing influence upon the inhabitants. Most people feel marked effects resulting from changes in cli mate, and one gentleman's experience in this respect may prove beneficial to most readers. Mr. John Henry Hooper, of Stanmore-joad, Richmond, Cimst church, during the course of conversa tion, informed the reporter that he was residing in Brisbane, Queensland, some time back.

"How did the. climate agree with you?" asked the pressman. "Not at all well. In fact, after living in that hot city three or four yeara I found that I was becoming a confirm ed victim to that tired feeling which afflicts so many people. The enervating effeots of the burning heat brought dis aster to my constitution. I was debili tated and weakened to a great degree. A feeling of languor and fatigue beset me, making everything I had to do a nuisance and a drudging. I was com pletely run down, and fay appetite de serted me just at the time I required to eat in order to regain my strength. If I did take a litfc'e food I experienc ed severe attacks of indigestion, as shown by an uncomfortable feeling in the stomach, with dull, oppressive pains in the chest. I suffered greatly with piercing headaches, and there was a bad taste in my mouth." "Were you able to get any rest at night ?" i

'"JNo; not much. The nerves of the brain seemed crowded together by gases, which arose from the undigested food^ and the resulting pains in the head kept me awake at night. On arising in tha morning I felt drowsy and exhausted, with my limbs ever aching from in cre3.sr.i--r weakness Sharp pains came between the shoulders to assist in ad ding to my affliction, and, taken alto gether, I had a very bad time indeed." "Did your sufferings extend over a length of time?"

lToo_ long for my liking, I assure you, I was in .a state of debility between two and three years; my digestive organs were impaired and I was also afflicted witn insomnia, so it is not necessary to further describe my condition." "What medicine were you taking all that time?"

"Whatever they were they are not worth mentioning, as they did me no J good whatever. On the other hand, I' experienced the utmost relief from Clem ents Tonic; the first bottle gave m© in creased energy. My appetite returned like magic, and by that means I was able to throw off the cloak of fatigue which had so long hung upon me. It, was a pleasure to feel hungry once more, but the most satisfactory feature of tnis great change was that my food had no trouble in digesting. The pains in my back slowly but surely diminished and the feeling of weight and oppression in my chest went away. The acute and distressing headaches became less severe, and had longer intervals between them, until at last they,_ too, were obliterated by Clements Tonic. As <$ these pains ceased to torture me I managed to sleep more regularly, and far more sound ly than.l had done for months and months. 3; There is no doubt that Clem ents Tonic cannot be beaten for restor ing a debilitated and shattered system to robust health. In my case it great ly exceeded my most sanguine antici pations. I felt each dose effecting an , improvement in my general health, but ' although I became daily stronger and stouter I kept on with Clements Tonic till I was quite well and in a splendid condition. I have not required to take any medicine since, so that speaks vol umes for the merits of Clements Tonic." "Can I insert your remarks in the press?" Decidedly. Others may profit there by, so you can publish my statements in any way you choose."
