been spefct for tfcat-purpose. it \v. easy to ascertain the indebtedness colony. Persons whom they bad a r look upon as authorities were un about a few millions more or'less, had scon some estimate the debt; at millions, and others again placed ife at double that sum. He himself hac doubt that if everything were balano the total would not be far short of t ...y millions. But there was nothing dp- • Their rulers as well as themselves we the dark. They could not take their ob« tions correctly • either there was no sia else their sextants and quadrants were .-. order, or their couyjass broken. It wsr • possible to telUftria.^'Hion of the ship, abor ±«oO,UOU re^ie ave t]^.ee and what i. : .-=i been done u®, and aljttvead of the hundreds <v f miles of roadif^M.^a should have been made for our settlers^ W&itemata they still it»«r them separated from the towns by bridgeless Etreams, tangled forests, and deep moraa«f s. and still as far away in effect as if they Hy<?fl at Stewart's Island." Indeed it would *ake less money to send up a shipload of prorlnoe from that island than it would to brin- V*»# same quantity from some of the region* of Waitemata. This was a state of .things which, if> elected by them, he should-at cvoe> attack'; he could not say he would remedy it, but all he could towards that object to wards removing such a crying disgrace should be done. Nbthing should be left un done that by argument or persuasion could possibly be effected. It would be his object to see given back to" the farmers some portion of their money in easy access to town. (Cheers.) Mr Eees then referred to the Kaipara railway as one of the wants of Waitemata. That railway was begun, and wag to have deen pushed forward before the memory of the oldest inhabitant (Laughter.) At any rate he just re collected the Superintendent going up to dig the first sod, and then they were told it was to be all finished in eighteen months; that within that'time they should have the ■ produce of the Kaipara coming into town, if not in that fast and favourite steamship of Captain. Casey's (laughter), at any rate by some steamer; that instead of the trade going away to Sydney and Melbourne it would come here, and a result would be ob tained whereby the district north and south of Auckland would be. brought into closer relations, and consequently grow in import ance. But the project seemed now as far off as ever, and the only thing they could do was to hope on. To get this line completed was one of the tasks which he set himself if returned to Parliament. As to'ttie extension of the line to Auckland that was for further consideration. They had the reports of the Provincial Council engineers and surveyors' reports on the line. The latter said the line ?: ■would not pay. * Some persons were also of opinion that the project was one which ought not to be undertaken. But it seemed to him that while officials were being multiplied, not only in New Zealand, but in the United Kingdom —while millions were being lavished, on - f all: sides—even if the line could not-pay at first, it should be carried, out to the theory that the mere existence of good roads would make lands valuable which otherwise would be desolate. "While he thought the extension : not so important as'the opening up of new roads; yet he still thought it worth entering upon. ji (Hear, hear.) la other things the electors of Waitemata might be taken to stand upon a level with other constituencies - such for instance as education, licensing of public houses, highway matters, etc., which were considered (with how great. propriety need not now be inquired into), the peculiar " affairs of the Provincial Couhcial. A member would not be doing his duty to his constituency,-i if> hie did: not take^ a stand upon taxation. A a a fact the people are taxed equally by the General Government. Every man. in this province pays j the same as a resident in Dunedin or Christbhurcb, yet they received much less in return. He" referred at length to th«, advantages employed by Canterbury and *" Obago through the revenue from colonial .lands, which they unjustly|mohopolised. so long as the colony is united the incidence o£ taxation should be equal. This would not be until Provincial Governments were done away with; b Those who areiprofiting by this unfair division forsee that the day will come when a change, will bo made, and they are selling and-mortgaging their lands as fast as possible, and putting the proceeds mtor the provincial treasuries'. It is your member's'part to see that this is not done, . , and that the publio property jis kept for the 1 of " thei people of New Zealand. (Applause. ) r The are playing off one province against another. There was no time to deal with great colonial questions, and complaints against mismanagement in the Government—the immigration, native departments, and publio works. i> Yet year CI ■. after year:this goes on while the attention of f the Legislature is occupied with the struggle '."; for private measures.'; ■ Look at the class, of immigrants coming in. There is a complete failure in getting the right persons. We hear of practjcalminers being required at Coroman del, yet thousands are on strike in England. Agricultural labourers are wanted, yet 40,000 are in need of employment at home. Other colonies are getting these men without bor 'j £3 xo wing money, but while spending thousands we receive comparatively.few of the men we require. .He entered into the question of immigration at some length, and referred to several of the railway works .under taken a? not likely to pay for years. When Mr Vogel introduced his borrowing scheme he made some very nice calculations regarding what the proposed works would yield the first, .second, third, and fourth years. His original proposal was to borrow eight, millions, extending over ten years. Only four years had gone, yet seven millions , had.been spent. } Mr Vogel calculated that when ■!' seVehmiflionsi had been expended the receipts from increased, revenue and other; .sources would be'£3ls,ooo in' excess of'the expendi ture. He (Mr Rees) would .be ; Tery, aSree" ably 'Surprised if ';Mr , Vogel's forthcoming financial statement shewed "a balance of 315,000 .pence, or, indeed if it were shewn " that'iapaft from the loss, on unproductive works the railways completed and in opera tion were not being worked at a loss. It was easy to ..make out* columns ;of figures. , WUpf kmpng us b.ad:not built' castle 3in j the ' air; and seen our visions fade like the golden : glow of a summer cloud. The greatest dan-i ger lay in the fact that the people are not1 sufficiently alive to our position. Even our representatives, t& whom we have a right 'to were at variance to the ex .jk^ss^^S several millions regarding the^-goTotiial indebtedness. , And ~? most dangerous, spof all. :is the^ practice the colony ■, i£~ pursuingv of 'paying interest on loans out of borrowed money. The colony iraa 'goring on borrowing to> pay for what it iiad-;alread.y borrowed. This must come to an end some "time, ]and he looked in vain to the speeches of thei representatives of tn'o people for the faintest shadow^ of. ,a .plan whiqh the colonial liability would wp'rovided for'when borrowing ceases. •: The debt of the colony would then be,, .equal—to—twenty millions", "and "the "interest Ttfould,; absorb, yearly the-whole colonjal. revenue. It is ■tated that;^fye times are prosperous. Of course they must .be so while the Govern ment oontinue discounting its bi)ls at 'a good price and spending1' ihef money, but when R»go public works oeiwe, aad the colony U

He should be sorry to ik that al" ->ur representatives were -Ogling for leir own ends, but as the '-:■■ .ay is at pi' anti situated each seemed to ff.il it imperative upon him to fight his hardest in order to secuve the most for his own pro vince. Tlie'Govei-nmenb went on breaking the 1;> ws they should administer. He had himself during the past, four years persistently brought under tbe notice of the Govern ment breaches of the law, yet they took not the slipbhest notice but went on in f.v same course It would be said that the revenue had inctnased, but they must not lose sight of the faci, that this was chiefly due to the sleight of hand performed by the Govern ment last session, by which the taxation through the Customs was very greatly in creased also. And unless the Government were determined to stave off the evil day until the final crash comes, taxation must go on increasing from year to year. It was impossible to forecast the future in the face of the vacillating policy of the Go vernment —sometimes favouring, at other times opjposing the extension of provincial powers. As he said, education, licensing, and other great questions that occupy the attention of great other countries are put on one side here in favour of the one great scheme. He was not afraid of the future. A great part of the evil was remedi able. The public works and immi grants were a gain, and with praper management could be made of valup. The labouring classes were the chief taxpayers, and they especially were interested in looking to this matter. They must re member that if their burdens were"greatly in creased it meant ruin. Property-owners also must remember that if labour is driven out; of the place they will suffer, and the people will yet turn round to the wealthier classes aud say " You were chiefly instrumental in contracting these liabilities, i You.must bear .them." (Cheers.) ,4s the ' matter was one of vital interest to all parties they must see that men of honesty of purpose aro e'ected to represent them; men who will sink local feelings and considerations lot friendship, and be prepared to sacrifice all other considerations to the general good; who will not-help on' any Government gambling scheme or party merely for itself, but whoso chief aim will be to promote the growth of the country as a whole, stately and beautiful as the oaks of the forest. The speaker, who was repeatedly applauded dur ing the course of his speech, sat down amid great cheering. Questions were invited, but none were asked the candidate.

Mr David Sheehan proposed a vote of con fidence in Mr Eees.

Mr Pulleng seconded. He had known Mr Rees. under other circumstances and in another place, and he had. always been re msrkable of his freedom of thought.and in dependent expresaion r of opinion. The motion waß carried amid loud ap plsuse; . .

A vote of thanks to the chairman termina ted the proceedings.

MELANCHOLY DEATH AT NORTH SHORE.

n inquest was held at the hotel, Woodside, to-day upon the body of William Bartleyj bar nater, son of th>> hon; Mr Bartley, former speaker of the Legislative Council. From the evidence it appeared that a sister of the deceased went into the stable yesterday; and found her brother lying on the floor with' his skull shattered. -A double-barrelled gun was lying near the body, and it was evident that the deceased had placed the muzzle in his mouth and pulled the trigger. The only reason that could be assigned for the rash deed was the fear of approaching illness. The deceased had been a great sufferer from asthma, and had lately felt the premonitary signs of another attack. This had thrown him into very low spirits, and it is belie^edthat in a fit of temporary insanity consequent on his melancholy mood he destroyed himself. A verdict in accordance with the above facts was returned.

THE STATE FORESTS BILL

ATTEMPT TO SEiZH THE PROVIN-

CIAL LANDS

The State Forest Bill is regarded with great suspicion and doubt. Canterbury would be glad of its passing, as it has no forests to conserve, while wealthy limbered provinces will manifest repugnance at its provisions. It is an attempt to hypothecate provincial estates for colonial revenue pur-

popes. Mr Macandrew wanted to Fell the ffold fields in Otago. Vogel now wants to pledge the forest lands. It is the old question : Let us eat, drink, for to morrow we die. The province of Auckland being the only place where kauri is obtained, it will pro bably Buffer the most, '"nvious people Pay Mr Vogel has an interest in the timber trade. The Supreme Court; Jndses Bill nllows judges after not less than fifteen up to twenty yeara' service to retire on half salary, re ceiving it at the time of retirement if sixty years of age. In the Legislative Council last night Mr Waterhouse's motion was shelved by the pre vious question moved by Dr. Pol leu boing carried.

The second reading of th« Miners' Bill «as carried on the motion of Mr h'ichardpnn, who stated, that it was founded on the bill intro duced in the British Parliament in 1872, and afterwards into Victoria

The second reading of the Savines Bnnk Bill was carried on the motion of Mr Vo»el, who stated that its object waß to increase ihe amount bearing interest from £800 to £1000. Mr Vogel, in moving the second reading of the Supreme Court Jnrises Jet. said it had been introduced chiefly tbmueh the propcred retirement of the Chief Justice. He then referred to the highly satisfactory manner in which he during a long series of years per formed his duties, and to the very great es timation in which he was held.

The Bill was rear? a second time,

The Municipal Reserves Bill was also read a second time.

Vogel spoke two bourg and a-half last night on the conservation of forests. He quoted numerous authorities. There were only twenty-five members in the ET -use when he finished. He confessed hi« ignor ance on tli3 subject. The only information he possessed he had gleaned by consulting the authorities, au^ therefore "claimed the indulgence of the Hotrse. He referred to Auckland, among Other p'^vlri'cAs, which hart lost, according to Dr. Hector, from 1830 to 1868, 58 per cent., and f>-om 1808 to 1873, 27 per cent The remainder of the colony is supposed to have lost eight million, acres of forest in forty-three yenrs. Tie ap pealed to Parliamert. that had d<me so much for the future in public works and immigra tion, not to ignore this important question. However ,short the session some provision for conservation should be made. . He con sidered that by the outlay of £10,000 per annum in twenty years the colony would. obtain means by the conservation of State forests to liquidate the colonial debt. Although we bequeathed a heavy debt to posterity, whatever debt had been con tracted or might be contracted posterity will be compensated for in the magnificent pro perty possessed. Mr Sheehan moved the adjournment of the second reading. He said it was the great measure of the session, and that members re quired time to consider the provisio/is of the Bill, and proposed .an adjournment until Tuesday. Nearly all the provinces oppose the Forest Conservation Bill. All are dissatisfied.

Mr Vogel makes his financial statement *iben.

The debate was adojurned until Friday.

THE CIVIL SERVICE BILL.

A clause in the Civil Service Act Amend ment Act is brought in to provide for1 improvident servants of the New .Zealand Company. Mr Swanson opposed the Bill. He said civil servants should be like other, people— "Pay them while you have them, then let them go." Every civil servant should be compelled to make provision for wife and children in Government Annuities pro rata according to age or salary. He considered the Bill brought in to provide for the Speaker also, which the Speaker disclaimed. Mr Vogel replied at length, but Mr Swanson had the best of the argument.
