PARLIAMENTARY.

WELLINGTON.

This day. In the House, yesterday, Mr Reynolds stated that the report on lighthouses was not yet completed, but would be laid on the table shortly.

The select committee appointed to consider the petition for increased representation for the Thames district reported unfavourably of the! prayer of the petitioners. JJQTY- -ON COLONIAL SPIRITS. The debate on excise dues was continued y~4ast night. { Mr Pyke said the Government had by k. implication promised that the matter should referred to a select committee; besides he maintained that the Government had deliberately promised distillers that there was no intention to increase the duty. He utterly deprecated the Government of any country in that way playing fast and loose with capitalists. He entirely agreed with the views embodied ■in the amendment given notice of by the lion, member for Port Chalmers, so that some permanent security would be afforded persons engaged in distillation. Mr McGilKvray also approved of an amendment to be proposed by the member for Port Chalmers, as meeting the case exactly. He would rather see colonial spirits paying 12s. per gallon than that home spirits should be imported at all. Mr Thompson opposed the proposals on ground that the Government was not justi fied in carrying out such proposals after the promises they they had made distillers, for he considered Mr Caykwell had far the best of the argument with the Government in the pamphlet. There was a great deal of senti ment talked about closing up the distelleries of the colony, but they all knew if they did that there would be any amount of illicit dis tillation. Considering the amount of interest -suddenly taken in this question he could not help thinking importers had something to do with the hue and cry now raised against colonial distillation. It appeared that large number of members opposed the select com mittee because they were afraid Mr Cawk well had a claim, and would push it. No doubt Mr Cawkwell had a good claim, and would yet establish it, and "it would have to be met out of the revenues of the country. The, question was then put that progress be reported and leave given to sit again, upon which the House divided with the following result :— Ayes, 25 ; Noes, 36. Mr Macandrew then moved as an amend ment, "That in order to provide permanent security to distillers against any unexpected increase in the rate of duty, the rate should be on all spirits manufactured in the colony during 1878 seven shillings per gallon to be imposed, and sixpence per gallon for the two following years, and to remain at eight shillings per gallon until altered by law." He regretted that the amendments had not been longer injthe hands of members, as they met the case perfectly, because he felt sure that the distillers would have a very large and just claim against the Government if the proposals were carried. (No ; no.) He doubted the perfect accuracy of the Com missioner's figures, which might be modified considerably without considering the many advantages the colony derived from distil lation. '

Mr. Reynolds could not see how the House oould oppose the proposals considering the large prospective loss before the colony, as admitted by the first clause of the amend ment. He could assure members that the Government had! given the question their most serious and long consideration, and it was impossible the country could go on losing so much per gallon. ' Mr Luckie pointed out that the second paragraph of the amendment was cunningly worded. It would secure for distillers the differential duty by the Act of 1868, because he was giyen to understand there was three years' supply in bond at Dunediu. j Mr Swanson said that according to Mr Seed's letter, Mr Cawkwell had a good case against the Government, though the letter was so equivocally worded that Mr Cawkwell had to write to Mr Seed to ask him what the exact meaning of his words was. Why did not the Government buy out these distillers and go into the grog busi ness at once, and have the whole thing to themselves with all their other businesses. He hoped the hon member would withdraw' his motion.

Mr Stafford said he hoped the hon member for Pott Chalmers' resolutions would recom mend themselves to the good sense iof the House, as he thought they were so framed as to meet the circamsfcances of this very pecu liar case. While prepared to admit that colonial distillation caused considerable loss to the colony, he also distrusted the figures adduced by the Commissioner of Customs ; Indeed he always distrusted figures of that department more than those of any other. It must be recollected that the: establishment of licensed distilleries had completely checked m large amount of illicit distillation which had notoriously prevailed, no fewer than forty-one having been discovered in one dis trict in one year ; but bow many -were not discovered. There was ho doubt whatever that the Government had, as well as holding out inducements, in effect promised not to •interfere with the duties.

Mr Vogel declined to enter in committee upon that phase of the question which Involved detriment to any companies or individual. No one could doubt that it was absolutely" necessary to increase the excise duty, but they, could not consider an abstract question in proper manner while it was mixed up with questions of private rights. So little had the Government the desire to act in a way injurious to distillers that they would be prepared to grant a select committee after the Bill containing the resolution^ had been read a first time, in order to investigate the merits of the case. ■ Mr J. Gillies maintained as against the figures submitted by the Commissioner of Customs that although the Government might have missed a certain amount of revenue the colony as a whole had not lost anything. On the contrary, it had largely gained, as 294,000 gallons of spirits had been distilled in the colony, for which money had been retained here. Mr .Reader lYood pointed out that, all the resolute Lodlhe member for Port Chalmers wbuldA*. LsTvlue into force before 1878, and as tfr&k^fcMSment would no longer be in exisir^p^**; was better that this Parliament ■houii allow next Parlitnent to deal with the matter. He considered the Government was acting quite fairly in the matter. Sir Craoroft Wilson could not see how a breach of faith wasf discovsred now weich was never heard of before. Mr Atk inson said that while he would be prepared to consider the claims of any per sons against the Government he would.like to see a purely fiscal question stripped of its private bearings and dealt with on abstract grounds. . , iU The resolutions were then earned on the voices, and reported to the House, and or dered to be committed on Tuesday. ' . THSJPOST OFHOE SAVWB EA£S ww committed.

Mr ,Swanson could see on necessity for limiting a deposit to a thousand or limit it at all.

Mr J. E. Brown, speaking of his own knowledge of the surprising way in which the Savings Bank, deposits wereturned over was certain that in case of a financial crisis the possibility of withdrawing such large amounts was dangero is. The danger was great with a thousand pounds limit, but much greater if unlimited. Savings were not intended for persons owing such large amounts.

The Premier had no doubt the Government were quite capable of carrying on the busi ness as safely as any Bank, and he did not ap prehend any danger from a thousand pounds limit, but must object to so serious an inno vation as making deposits unlimited. Mr Pyke pointed out that the Government was entering in unfair competition with ordi; nary banking institutions of the country in this way. A man could place £500 in the Bank in Dhnedin, and could draw it in Wel lington without paying any exchange, which was most unfair to the other Banks.

Mr J. E. Brown thought that it was a most unfair proceeding if true. Mr Vogel could not see that the Banks had any reason to complain because the Govern ment extended to the Savings' Banks deposi tors every reasonable facility they could. (Hear, hear.)

The bill was reported without amend ment, read a third time, and passed.

NEW ZEALAND FORESTS BILL. The debate was adjourned till Tuesday. GOVERNMENT INSURANCE AND

ANNUITIES BILL.

The Premier moved the second reading, and explained the provisions of this bill. The second clause repeals Acts of 1869 and 1870 ; clause 15 enables married women to contract as if sole, and dispose of interest in contracts by will; clause 20 makes life an nuities free from taxes ; clause 26 provides for loans on policies ; clause 27 makes pro vision for arbitration in disputes between the annuitant or his kin and the Com missioner ; clause 41 provides for annual accounts being laid before Parliament ; clauses 42, 43, and 44 provide for an ac tuarial investigation every five years and the bringing up of a statement and report; 45, the last clause, provides for a surplus of funds divisible among p6licy holders. This last clause is being hedged round with every kind of precaution to make its operation Jbeneficial, and places tho whole under the control of the fistiSe. — — ,^-_

It was read a second time and or^efeoTtd\ be committed on Tuesday.

CIVIL SERVICE,

The House went into committee upon the Civil Service Act Amendment Bill.

The Premier proposed Award Second—lf the repeal of the nineteenth section of the said Act should have any effect on any per son transferred f torn the Provincial Civil Ser vice to the Colonial Civil Service before the passing of the said Act. This was strongly opposed by Messrs Swanson and Wood, but was agreed to.

In clause 3 the name of David Lewis, Commissioner appointed under the New Zea land Land Claimants Ordinance, was intro duced, ?nd it is specified to what the pro visions of the Act are to extend specially. Clause 10 provides for retiring allowances, and that no pensions are to bo granted if the annual sum of £9,000 be exceeded, unless the Governor considers the claimant entitled to it.

A sharp discussion ensued, Mr Reader Wood moving that the Government giving discretionary power to the Governor to grant pensions in excess of nine thousand pounds Be struck out.

A long discussion was followed by a division, the result being that the clause in original form was retained by 78 to 9. The House adjourned at 1 a.m.
