Mr Stafford's speech, reported at length by telegraph and published in another column will be read attentively. Although not occupying the place in New Zealand politics which lie once filled, the leader of no party, and a politician whose erratic course in the House latterly has chiefly called forth sorrowful reflections upon the decadence of a once great name, Mr Staf ford has yet a small following and choice knot of admirers, who form a little coterie of their own in the colonial parliament. His views are, moreover, all-powerful with the old Canterbury party, and carry a certain amount of weight with other politicians of the Centralist school in the House. Mr Stafford, it will be observed, is coming round rapidly to the conviction that if the colony is to be ruled by one Central Government, the revenues derived from Crown lauds must go into the common fund. We should fall into grievous error if we credited the hon. member for Timaru with any over-weening Jove of the North on account of these Views. It may be pretty safely predicted that the large land-owners of the South will be prepared to sacri fice the territorial revenue or any other fund which will stave off taxation from their estates. And we .sliall not be sur prised to find absorption of the land fund as popular with the leading Canterbury representatives as it is unpopular with the great mass of their constituents. The length of the telegraphic summary of the speech compels us to exclude leading articles, correspondence, and other matter prepared for to-day's issue.

Telegraph Stations are now opened at Coalgate and liollestou. Both in the county of Sclwyn, Canterbury.

Li response to an invitation? from Mr Thompson, the inmates of the Home for Neglected and Destitute Childien, and St. Stephen's and St. Mary's Orphanages, will attend the exhibition of the Great Southern Diorama on Saturday next. On the occasion, there will be a general dis tribution of presents, every child in atten dance at the performance receiving coe.

The strike of^ shipwrights on the Clyde < continues, and Is causing much loss to the ' industry of tke district. At.a "ate meeting . of the master shipbuilders it stated that j in conseqitenee of this strike two Govern- j incut orders, of an aggregate value uf '■ £230,000, had been reluctantly declined," and j one master said if he were to be continually j

annoyed in this way he would give up ship- ■ biuldingaltpgetner. The men, however, con- : tiime obstinate, saying they will rather ' see the trade cross the water than give in. Notwithstanding this unsatisfactory \ saite of affairs, the Clyde Tius tees arc energetically pushing on their, large now docks at Stobcross, which, when ' compoltcd, will occupy the whole of the space between Finnieston and Sandyford streets. The docks were commenced in August, 1572, and they will not be finished for four years to conic-, though upwards of ; 1000 men are constantly employed upon the ; works. They will consist of three basins, j with an aggregate area of 33i acres, and \ 27 'h acres of wharfage.

The Wellington correspondent of the '■' Lyttelton Times " writes : "So far as I can gather, there lias been no attempt made yet towards forming an Opposition, Wel lington members deeming it useless to move until the members from other places come up. In the Civil Service, the hope of a change of Ministry is, I think, very strong, the whole tendency of the present adminis tration being to make the officers feel that they are the personal servants of Ministers, and liable to instant dismissal if they give the least offence to a Minister. The atten tion of the House will probably be called to some flagrant cases of this kind as soon as the Bouse meets.

Mr Thompson's great Southern Diorama of the American War was favourably patron ised in the theatre, last evening. The scenes pourtrayed upon the moving canvas arrested pleasing attention from those pre sent, who frequently evinced their appro bation in the must satisfactory way. The distribution of gifts included a splendid hunting watch, two sovereigns, papier macho table, and about fifty other articles of use and ornament. The diorama will he unfolded again this evening, and on Saturday afternoon the spirited proprietor will give his last grand matinee to the children, when every little girl and boy will receive a parting present. The children of the various charitable institutions will be admitted free to the matinee, and will also take away with them tokens of re membrance of Thompson's interesting pictorial diorama of one of the most re markable events of modern times.

The musical and literary entertainment last evening in the Dcvonpoit Hall was well-attended, a large number of friends being present .from Auckland. The mem bers of the Devonport Club were assisted by several leading Auckland vocalists. Rev. Mr Bates occupied the chair, and introduced the programme. Sentimental songs of merit were sung by Miss Under, and Messrs Harding, Gradwcll, Edmistou, and Nairn ; several glees by tin; Orpheus Club (juvenile), and ducts by Messrs Spry and Hannkin. Mr Turrcll, the younger, played an overture, and Mr Allison gave a recitation in very agreeable style. Mr Henry Niccol caused much merriment by nn oiation, entitled "Our Girls," which was a great success. The entertainment closed with a farce, after which two hours were spent in the lively exercise of dancing.

The members of the Loyal Good Intent Lodge of Oddfellows will celebrate their twenty-seventh anniversary on Tuesday evening next by a dinner and ball, at the Oddfellows' Hall, Cook-street, to which members of other lodges arc respectfully invited. Dancing will commence at nine o'clock. We learn that great preparations

are being made for the forthcoming anni versary, which promises to be replete with general interest.

The oilicial returns of emigration from Ireland in 1876, shew that the total number of emigrants who left the ports of Ireland was 35,315, a decrease of 14,fiS2 compared with the previous year, The total number who left Erin's shores for America, New Zealand, and Australia since IN.")] was ii,-iI-l-/.»7S ; and yet the laud of Sheridan and Moore appears to be as thickly populated as ever.

An Auckland innocent was sent by his employer with a brace of pheasants to ;i friend, and ns he lingered ;it the gentleman's (low after delivering them, he was asked what lie was waiting for, he replied, please, sir, if the boss asks what yon gave me for bringing the pheasants, what shall I tell him v "Go along yon young scamp, "said the gentleman, and suiting the action to the word, lifted up his foot as though he meant something. The boy quickly escaped a kick by running off, with the words; "I'll tell boss." A charge of assault was preferred against the Rev. John Howard, Vicar of Oneham, in the Isle of Man, in May last, when the rev. gentleman interrupted the com plainants advocate by calling out in Court "It's a lie." For this contempt of Court the vicar was committed to gaol for a week.

T» tlie Editor, Sir—Possibly your corres pondent "Subscriber," may have ascer tained what he wanted from the remark ably novel information afforded him by Mr W. M. E. Casselton. But it does not look as if his inquiry related to Hainault, which is not in Germany, hut a province of Bel gium. However, he knows best whether his spelling or his political geography was most at fault. The neat and ingenious way in which his too-ready informant has managed to cram so many blunders into so few words, merits notice. Briefly, there is no place called Ruhalt, though there is a Duchy of that name, which does not con fain a town similarly called. 2nd. Being a sovereign State it can scarcely be called " in Prussia," nor(Srd) for the same reasons any particula distance from Berlin; and (4th) it does not adjoin the " State of Magdeburg," owing to the trifling fact of there being no such State in existence, nor has there been since the treaty of Westphalia, which is hardly a thing of yesterday. " A (very) little knowledge is a dangerous thing," especially if unwisely aired in the columns of a newspaper, verb, sap.—Yours, &c.. Another Subscriber. [" A scholar of fourteen years old" also writes : " Hain ault, misspelt Anhult, is in the S. W. of Belgium. Edward 111., about the year 1327, married Philippa of Hainault.]

The nomination of trustees for the Pon- SOnby and or Dedwood Highway District comes on to-worrow, and the names of candidates must be sent in to the Returning Officer by noon.

Tie serious casualties from football are laaLiplvinjr, Wo learn that in the accident to Mr H. Ciilpnn, of To Awumutu, son of W. Ciilpan of Auckland, tlie muscles of the le£ -were torn clean away from the bone beneath the knee, and now lie rolled up in a ball en the upper side of the leg. Air Culpan lias been removed to Hamilton, his condition requiring constant medical atten dance. A broken leg for one player, and a, severe shock to the system of another attended the last gune on Saturday. In Auckland on Saturday Mr Karle, broke his collar-bone while enjoying the pleasures of this delightful pastime. Xlicso accidents surely point to a considerable modification in the rules of the game. It has become a question whether the barbarous practices connected with football as now played should be abandons 1, or tlie game given up altogether

Some difficulty is experience;! in getting together a football loam to visit Waikato next week. At present the following are the players who have arranged to go : — Messrs Shakspear, i'ing, Mowbray, Gudgeon, Henderson, C. Burgess, T. Macky, J. Macky, Warbrick, Stanllcld, and Nolan. Others are wanted, and any players who have not been asked should come forward, to enable the te;im to be completed. The match on Saturday will be the team who are to visit Waikato v. All Comers.

Yesterday afternoon a large number of influential citizens went to see their friends and representatives embark on board the Wanaka, en route for Wellington. Sir George Grey received a very hearty wel come from Messrs S'wansou, Sheehan, Rees, and Tole, (these four members do not leave until next boat). We learn that Sir < jeorge (Jrev had not intended going down by the Wauaka, but at the same hour this vessel was to depart he arrived at the wharf per Annie Milbank from the Kawau. Probably the sound of the Wauaka's whistle, and the sight of the advance guard of the Auckland political forces leaving, sent the blood dancing through tlie veins of the political veteran, and he rushed like a war hor.se to the front, smelling the battle afar off. Sir George's portmanteau and other packages were transferred from one steamer to the other, and in a quiet, unassuming style this sturdy old gentleman has again turned his face to the expected Southern blasts. Among the passengers was the STAR special reporter, who left early to make all arrange ments for full telegraphic reports. He will remain throughout tlie session to keep our readers well posted with the earliest and most reliable intelligence.

George Baxter Martin, landlord of the Junction Hotel, identified the fowls pro , duccd as his property. The prisoner lxid no right to take them. They were worth about 10s. ' Prisoner, in defence, said that he had picked up the fowls on the roadside, and while lie was carrying them along, he was seized by the witness Galvin who said, '\I have you now," and nearly clicked him be- I fore he could explain how he came by the I fowls. Galvin had said he would have re venge on him for his brother being sent to the stockade. They all had a down on him, and wanted to get rid of him. { The Bench said they were satisfied of the ; prisoner's guilt, and sentenced him to one month's imprisonment witli hard labour. This was all the business.

Mr Stafford and His Con stituents.

SPEECH AT TIMAIIU

(By Ti:i.v.<;i:\va.). TIMAUU, this morning. Tin-; lion. Mr Stafford addressed his con stituents at Timaru last '.ti'jht. In his opening remark-* lie referred to the Break water at Timaru. Great difficulty had been experienced in carrying out the views of those favourable to the undertaking. Nine teen Harbour Hoard bills had been intro duced last session, claiming between £SoO,oOoand £900,000, besides 400,000 acres of land. The legislature naturally beea::iG alarmed, and t'ae Timaru Harbour Act was prejudiced in consequence. Mr Itolk-ston greatly facilitated their wishes by placing, at the suggestion of the Govern ment, .fUM.O.'X) for the work on his estimates of the money required for the six month**1 provincial services. He would do his ut most to further their views, r.lthough upon the engineering question involved lie declined to express an opinion, Reviewing the proceedings of LAST SESSION he said it was the most dreary and profit less meeting he had known during a J."> year.-' experience. !ie did not think the waste of time then exhibited would be repeated. There had been a large detec tion from the party which caused it. The subject of Separation would probably come up again, and cause a useless discuissidii, as lie did not doubt that there would bo ;i largo majority against it. ITe regretted that- the ('(unities Art had not been worked, and hoped the permissive clause would ba struck nut of any amended bill. Tie main tained that it was the duty of the colonial Government, in justice to those parts of the oniony which had not benefitred by the rail way.-*, to open up the districts by main roads. Tins would also obviate disputes between adjacent counties. The Government should maintain inea: s of locomotion—roads, bii'g.'M, i.V'-.. —from one end ufflie colony to the ut!tcr. For the purp ise of enaUling'tho Government to do this a ].Ai::;K SUCK OJ-THH LAND I-'f'M) should be taken. He had always been of opinion that it was a mistake not to include theLandFund in the Public Works' scheme. By its omissiou as an item of revenue New Zealand contrasted unfavourably with other Colonies. !n Victoria and Xcw South Wales the laud fundgoes to help the total ; and when financiers c impare the colonies, New Zealand is placed at a disavantage. He thought the land fund should go into the general total, that fund had been charged with so many burdens that it did not now exi:t sop mi: eiy. Educa tion conuld not be supported without t'nit (.•(iur.se being adopted. A land fund had to be created for other parts of the colony by the issue eof Treasury Uills. Did anyone ever hear of such a system of finance? He thought all the laud fund, with the excep tion, perhaps, of 20 percent, should be paid into the consolidated fund, the 20 per cent, ro be appropriated for local works. The land question was a lion in the path. Auckland had wasted its hinds. A return shewed that since the foundation of the colony Auckland had disposed of 2,125,223 acres for £312,285 ; while Canterbury, which had asked about an equal amount 2,014,G00 acres, received £3,128,120 in cash' which was mainly devoted to Public Works' "Yet Auckland says, in the boldest wav, we are going to irra.de ducks and drakes of our land, and you will have to hiusbandisc your land or to give us our share of the revenue. That is not parity of position, and until that lion is removed, and a more common mode of disposalof land established, no satisfactory settlement of tiie question can be arrived at.' 1 He did not mean iibsolute uniformity, because what might suit one part of the colony would not auswerin another, but asa preliminary there must be some arrangement between those lands which have been ruthlessly dealt with, a,nd those which have been prudently dealt with. EDUCATION. With reference to education, he had the assurance of the Minister of Justice that the subject will, be dealt with during the next session. He believed the Boards would be elected. He objected to the system of school fees, because it tended to discourage children from going to school. He did not know how the subject would be j :lealt with, but it would require very careful consideration. In his opinion the Suite should contribute to colleges and higher -chools, in order that the poor man's child ren, by means of scholarships, should be :ible, as in Scotland, to advance to the highest academical honours. MUNICIPALITIES SADDLED WITH CHARITIES. I think it is altogether owing to a mistake ;hat the support of these institutions has seen tluxnvn on the Municipalities in the Jast. It was entirely owing to the fact •hat the Counties' Act in many parts had lot been brought into force. It was never ntended tha.*. it should be so. My idea is :hat districts should be grouped, with special reference to their ready access to :hc towns in which hospitals exist, and he cost of their maintenance should be :ound"pro rata." Of course, the other iroportion of cases would only come in rom the country districts, owing to the greater probability of resident, but I think io fair method has yet been adopted. I

(Cheers). As wo have now come to the full development of THE PUBLIC WORKS AM) IMMIGRATION POLICY1, and have arrived very nearly at the end of the works in connection with it, it seems to me very proper to review what has been done in connection with it. Iv the first place I may say that from the outset I gave a cautious support to the scheme, although, as will be seen from my speeches, which appear in "Hansard," and elsewhere, I was an early exponent of it. Why I did this was from the fact that I did not approve of the mode in which the scheme was carried out. It was ill-digested and crude in its application. Early in the year a scramble took place ; the committee being invited by the Government to say what they wanted, and promised by it that they would give effect to their wants. But putting this on one side, some of the works vrere pushed iv a hurried manner, to the exclusion of other works, which would have been far more to the interest of the colony had they been executed. Tin's hurry and its effects are now just beginning to be see:;, as the work then executed had to bo re-constructed in many in stances ; and in other.-; large repairs have been found to bo necessary. I say this, and. I do so without fear of contradiction, that th'jre is no country iv the world, no line that I can think of, which affords such facilities for railway works as that between Tituaru and Christ church. It consists, as you know, «>f rolling prairies, with shingle.*, which could be utilised for ballast, close alongside ; and yet we find that repairs of some magnitude, and in some cases, re-construction, have been necessary. But it is not alone here. In the Province of Marlborough they have a small railway of some twenty miles in length, which has HAD TO BS RE-COXSTKI'CTED THREE TIMES. The lino selected for the railway was one which, had those selectiag it used their cy,:n, would at once have b-:;en seen to bo subject to floods. It was a place where f myself, in days before a railway "was thought of, have seen a horse obliged to swim. There are other instances that 1 could give, but I will m.t detain you by qnotingothercircumstances which have been hurried by, and, in which, without any large

amount of forethought the scheme was brought into work. This was the fault of tiic legislature to a very large extent, and my friend, Mr Rolleston, and myself attempted with other- to stem the tide, but unsuccessfully. So far as { c\i:i gather, we have got a mileage of railways actually constructed or in course of construction of nearly one thousand milas. and this has cost us nearly seven millions, or about £7000 per mile. The original calculation has been altered by the increased price given for the land required for the railways, but this should have been known before hand. The fact is, that in many cases the line waslaidout, and the rails actually on the grouud, before the purchases were com pleted, or in many cases before the nego tiations a.s to price, &c, had hardly heprn'n. Of course, the arbitrators acting ■ n the increased value naturally accruing to land from the making of a railway in its proximity, had no other course but to give their award accordingly ; but T pay that, approaching it in this way, of course the cost was very largely increased. I believe that in many localities at the time, so keen was the desire to have- a railway, the residents would have been willing to have given the laud, and 1 thhik that yet they will do so, and that many branch lines will be ma.de on these terms. The result of this has been that we have got OXLY HALF OF OUR MOXEV'3 WORTH FOH OUR 3IOXEY.

It is true that the colony lias advanced some 25 years by the carrying out of those works, but we have certainly expended double as much money as we have received value for, ami this is mainly owing to the reckless way in which the scheme was managed at first. The blame of this state of affairs cannot be taken off t\ic shoulders of the representatives of the country. They are primarily responsible for it, and when we talk about representative institu tions we must not tot-get that if tliev are iv

accord with the Anglo-,Saxon character, they have their disadvantages when viewed financially. There is iuj '"doubt, however, about this, that the people of New Zealand are the most estranged in the world. They seem not to care for the expenditure of money, without much reflection as to tho means of repayment Tlfts does not only apply to our public matters, but goes with us to our homes. (Che&rs.J With regard to IM3IIGHATIOX". I may say that- the numb;: introduced up to date is 10,000. As to the cost, lam not in a position to say what the amount precisely is. I know that a million was asked and voted for it. and I think it is probable we shall iiud that this has been exceeded .somewhat. I may say that I have always been dissatisfied with the failure of legislature in not settling the people on the land. I said this in IS7O, but now we are worse oil than we were then. Now, becau.se land is gone in the parts where the settlement of the people on thn land would have been of infinite benefit to the colony as a whole. They could have been settled on the arterial work?, where capital and labour could have been interchanged. Had this been done, the system would have worked inSuitelv better, and the results would have been far greater. The Premier. lam glad to see, h;-.s announced tlia intention of the Government to take means to settle the people on the land, but he lias given no indication of the mode which he proposes shall be adopted to secure this. It is now late to do this, as I think it should have been done before. Had this been so, we ■should have reaped the benefit of it before our land was all gone, and before the mil lions had all been expended. However,*! am glad to hear that something is to be done in the matter. RAILWAY TAEIFF. There is one subject which is of great im portance to people—l allude to the railway tariff which has recently been introduced. On this subject I have received a telegram from the Hon. the Minister for Public Works, addressed to the Hon. John Hall, j which I will read you, it is as follows : "I hear that you address your con stituents at Timaru. As it is likely that sonic questions will b« asked upon the railway tariff [Mr Stafford: It shows how conscience pricks itself occasionally (laughter) ; evidently the Minister " for 'Public ' Works had a feeling of conscience \ that it would be attended to.] (Hear, hear.) i I send you a telegram addressed to Hall. ! You can make any use you like of it." \ Mr Stafford : I make this use of it, viz., to read it to you—"l have requested Mr , Lawson to give the Agricultural and I Pastoral Association any information re ! railway tariff you may require, and which i he may be able readily to give. Will you j remember that on the Christchureh and ! Lyttelton section the new tariff will pro- J duce £12,000 a year less than under the old j tariff, and that all railway home produce > : and imports pass over that piece of line, j and get *he advantage of the uniform rate? I The new tariff is a general reduction on j ■ late Otagi-> rates, a,nd is about the same as ' ] the rate heretofore charged in the North | i Island. It compares favorably with j < Victorian rates. The classification of j 1 goods was arranged by the Railway Com- 1 mission, and will require modification as i i experience shews necessity. The new i rate for stock trucks is, 1 see, objected to. I find the old Canterbury rate is very low, ] viz.—for one floor truck 20 miles, I i 10s ; 30 7iiiles, 13s 4d ; 40 miles, I < ISs Sd ; fifty miles, 20s. The new £ tariff rate for one floor of " sheep " trucks i is :20 miles, 12s 6d ; .30 miles, 17s Sd ; j 45 miles. 22s 6d ;50 miles, 27s fid. The j v new tariff rates for high-sided goods, trucks , t used for stock, is :20 miles, 16s Sd :33 j c miles, 25s ; 40 miles. 32s ; 50 miles, 40s ; [ c an increase to alter the tariff for high-sided j s goods trucks to the crate, for one iloor of I "sheep" trucks, as above quoted. The : t

c } carrying capacity of one floor of "sheep" tracks is the same as that on the high-side waggons, 30 longwools or 50 merino?. The following alterations in the traffic hay« f been determined on, viz. : ('lass E., "rain 'i it less than two ton:-, then as per class D c rate; class F., coals: if in bags, less than I two tons, then as per class I) rate. I also a shall be glad to receive the views of the , Society after inquiring.—J. D. Ormoxd ii Wellington." s Mr Stafford :—I shall give the telegram s to the reporters, and you -ivili all see it. <f (Hear, hear.) Well, gentlemen, I don't .1 know that I can say anything more. You s see, the Government are aware they have 0 made a mistake, at all events" 1 in some items in the tariff, and have be y come sensible that they made a mistake y and admit they are prepared to make t modicfiations. s SEPARATION, c I don't know that there is any subject to 1 speak about beyond those I have already c referred to except the <[ii estion of separation. s As to that question, [ have only to fell g you, certainly not for the first time, that I 1 j am an absolute and determined opponent .- | of separation, and especially on the basis s proposed last year. I should rather see ■. separation of certain portions of the colony, r than such a proposal as was made last year V • carried; and I should absolutely prefer ':, \to see certain portions of the V i island made into separate comities, :- ! looking at it financially, and that f ! is a point we cannot afford r.ot to look at el ' it —from the proposal, which could never be 1 ! accepted by the people of this island. No , ! provision was made for subsidising the oceau c I mail boats cr for the cable, which keeps up . : communication with Europe and the rest of c • the world, nor for any of those services i ; necessary for both Islands, and if either ! party failed to pay what was required of it 3 ' the worst disaster would come upon the i other part of the colony. When asked | upon what basis the proposed , ; 12lb. division was calculated, Mr Reader 1 ! Wood stated frankly that it was on the ba ''■ sis that it is all we can pay. and will pay. I Well, gentlemen, we are not going blindly ? ! into such a trap as that. If there were a ,' | separation of the two islands on such a basis as that proposed last year, all the aspirations of my political life would be destroyed. I | i believe we are becoming much" wider '1 minded, and much more open to the sym r pathies and interests of others outside the , narrow street —owe ourselves dwell in. I ~ believe that the whole tendancv of the,age is, that i>f people putting shoulder to ' shoulder, instead of separating themselves ' into little bickering societies. Oddfellow '- ship, Good Tcmplarism, and the like, are but a recognition of the tendency of the age 2 —that is, the duty of man, to co-operate " with his brother-man, and to make one com ' mon family for the common good of all. 3 Therefore, upon every ground of expedience, » sentiment, sympathy, interest, and finance. * I shall be found to be a determined and \ consistent opponent of Separation. (Hear, ' hear, and cheers). I have no doubt that the question will be debated next session, and perhaps very faetiously, but I trust the " same conclusive result as iast year will be J arrived at. I believe this Avill be the case, not only next session, but in subsequent ' sessions, whenever the question is revived. (Hear, hear). Gentlemen, I have now • touched upon all the subjects of which I had made a note, but I shall be very happy to answer any questions upon subjects to I which I have omitted to refer, or on which ] you may wish to have more full infonna ; tion. I thank you most cordially for the attendance and attention which I have re j ceived here to-night. (Cheers). I only ■ ask yon to believe in retaining me that I feel that no one could be better treated by any body of men than I have been by the con stituency of Tims.ru, and I shall, so far as I am able, give you in return my best energies for the advancement of your in terests, and for the public beueiit. (Loud and continuous cheers). gUESTIOXS.—VOTE OF CONFI DENCE. Ax ELECTOR.: I have received this docu ment from the railway to-day. If the Minister for Public Works will tell me what it means I shall be obliged to him. Mr Sta ;• ford : I am'not the Minister for Public Works, but so far as I can see it seems to me a receipt for h-di. (Laughter). Mr Archer said ha had very great pleasure in moving a cordial vote or thaa/cs to Mr Sfcait'ard for his able address, aadoe would also ask the meeting to endorse a vote of renewed confidence in him. (Loud cheers). Mr Hall : 1 have very grert pleasure in secondiug the resolution. RAILWAY EXTHXSIOX. In reply to a question, Mr Stafford said that respecting the extension of the line from Opawa to.the Ashley Downs, that was not in his district. Ft was in that of the member for Goraldino. He might say, however, that it was one of the points brought under his notice by the deputation which had waited upon him that day. At the sarwe fcinw, lie told them frankly that he thought there would ba but little chance of it being earned out, as so many places would ba applying for branch extsnsio n. LOCAL OPTIOX With regard to the Local Option Bill, this had exercised his mind more than | any other question which he had had to j consider. It would not be denied that the habit of excessive drinking had, in all English, speaking communities been the cause of much crime and disease, and the i evil effects of it not only influence the | individual, but also those "dependent upon him. Ho did not believe that jikiiwh nature would be content to exist without stimulants of some kind. In all nations, ? whether savage or civilised, the use of stimulants of the nerves or brain power was j common, and lie did not think that they would ever be enabled to get rid of their use He would, however, say I this much, that the principle of ; the Local Option Bill was one j which deserved a trial. (Cheers). I He had not made up his mind to oppose it, \ and he had nearly made up his mind to support it. (Cheers.) He had not scoa Mr Stout's bill, but lie knew that Mr Stout claimed for it that it was an improve- I ment on the present law. If the pubic house was badly conducted, it could be I closed, but as he read Mr Stout's owu I definition of his bill, lie took it that if jt 1 was decided that a house should receive a | license, it could not be 'closed far three j years. In this the present law was better I than that proposed by Mr Stout. There I was one point in which it certainly was i"1 | advantage, and that was that it recognised |g the priuciple of representative constitutions | having a voice instead of the Licensing | Commissioners. He thought that tnw | should be extended so that adult women | should have a vote, because no one suffered ; more from the vice of intemperance than | wives,, mothers, and daughters. As regards the dealing with the lands in m ISSO, he certainly was opposed most strongly to the gramting of small tracts to | the mining community. To do so WOUW g be simply to get people into these tracts j to starve themselves. It was a 1 proposition which had been »iatJ e jj from Waimate, but he was decidedly opposed to it. He was of opinion that > they should deal literally with this question 1 but to carry out the principal he had re- g ferred to would not in any way advance .tne- § interests of the colony. , R The Chairman inquired if any other | person had any other question to ask. X | further questions were asked, and the vot | of thanks and renewed confidence in Jjr | Stafford was then put and carried uuania* | mously, amid loud cheera. . I Mr Stafford : Gentlemen, you have a.?* 1" §5 placed me under a very great obliga*3o. | ;o you, and have given 'me very S' C' J' T 1 jncourageinent to go out and merit y°n I soandenceinthe future. (Hear, hear, hear. | mc! cheers.) i 8 The meeting terminated with a vote °* | li-itsks to the Chairman.
