The New Zealand Government.— Mr Monk (Waitemata), commenting oil n bill introduced by Mr Fisher last week, says-. —It seems tome that some honourable gen tlemen are altogether oblivious of the characteristics of the New Zea land Parliament, and they will persist in addressing it as long as a body of business men. It would seem that they still regard the Parliament of New Zealand as a particularly intelligent body representing the people ; but, instead of that, there are those who claim for us that we are in advance of oivilisation ; that is.that we have altogether superseded the practice and experience of every other Parliament in the world, and instead of terminating our daily business at ten o'clock, or, at any rate, not later than twelve o'clock, as they do, we generally sit to one. two, or half-past two in the morning I suppose it is because of the conviction that we are specially intelligent, and capable of working in defiance of natural laws, and that is the reason why so much of our legislation has a similar character istic.
