to describe the financial and public ■""irks proposals of the Government in respect u> Auckland. roads ANI) . BRJ p eBS _ The Miaister for Public Works had stated tbat it had become absolutely neces3ary that the Government should no longer be liable for roads and bridges in any part ot the country, and the Government had distinctly, disavowed all liability in i e3pect to them. In the clearest; terms that liability had been thrown upoa the local bodies, and if they did not undertake the responsibility their subsidies would cease. In his opinion they would cca»e whether the local bodies did so or not- The s • jeaker next referred to the Judicial Commission Bill and Mr Bartons charges against the Judges; andsaid the country would not rest satisfied until an. inquiry was held No human bein« was fit to hold or exer cise such powers as the Judges claimed, and he would say without the tightest hesitation that Parliament would have been mstified: and would only have done its duty, had it instituted an investigation into the conduct of the Judges. (Cheers.) He also expressed di-approval of the censorship claimed by the Judges over the press. Referring to this measure, Mr Moss said : " That is the beginning of the same attacks upon the Road Boards which were ho insidiously attempted on the Provincial Councils, lnat measure was the result of a confr renco of County Councils. One clause save the County Councils power to appoint a vuluator for all the Road Boards in the County, which would deprive the' Boards of their powers; and where the Counties' Act is not in opcrut.on power was sriven in this Act for the Governor to ap noia* » valuator and to deduct the expense from the subsidies payable to the High way Boards. I ask you to look very snar^ly after this matter. I believe the Highway Boards to be amongat the most useful institutions m the country, because they work well, and represent the interests of the various distr/c'S more thoroughly than the County Councils can do. I ask you, therefore, to watoh closely thut their privilege* be not taken away by a side wind. With regard to the resolution in favour of holding the next session iv Christchurch. the speaker eaid it would not have any practical effect, as it would require a vote of both Houses.and a special appropriation to defray ENDOWMENTS iFORHIGHER EDUCATION. Another Hioveaibct going on in the South 11 the tendency to e^dow all their secondary schools as fast as they can, because they know that the common schools will be suppoited out of the Consolidated Fund. Thq Girl's UUh School in Dnnedinis endowed with lands that bring in £1200 a-year. Taking advantage of the movement, the Auckland members managed to secure endowments for some High Schools here. Ah over the rent of the colony the youth are getting the benefit of higher education, and if ours do not get the same advantages, they will fall into an inferior position in future, and will not be ible to hold their own with the children in the South ; and the only way 10 guard against that is to see that we have schools as efficient as those in the South. The speaker next referred to the importance of wattle-bark cultivation in Auckiand, and the action taken by him in the Assembly to encourage the industry. THE tf'UTUIUC.

Mr Moss went on to Bay: I shall now ask you j ust to think of what is going to be done for th-i future. It is very dark nt present. I will only tell you that the.result of my experience a9 to the changes in the constitution of the country, is that the Assembly is utterly incapable oC doiog the work that it has to do. Piles of Bills are placed before members, numborinjr some 200 during a seffiion, and it is a labour to read them alone, in addition to some 500 reports of all kinds. The Assembly is completely overbur dened with work, aud it is impossible to do it propony »nd thoroughly. The Ministers are in much the same position. It is very difficult to set at any of them in Wel lington. They are always at work, and always being deputationed. If one of those Ministers make an appointment to see you, you go to the office and find yourself perhaps number twenty, three. I received telegrams from my consti tuents asking me to do this and that, and was obliged to tell Ministers that it was .really a painful thing to lueet them. The only chance was to catch them whea they ■were jroing 10 dinner or to take some little rest, when they ought not to have been disturbed. The consequence of this overwork is that a great deal of the government of the country is falling into the hands of Under-3eeret.ar.ies, who are now the most important people in the country. If they cannot do what you want them to do, they can always prevent your getting what you want. (Laughter). You may talk about retrenchment and economy, but I am vevlecfty con vine, d that under the new order of things you can have neither the one nor the other. You can have no retrenchment or economy until you have altered this system of centralisation, which aggrandises the depart ments. It makes great men of the officials and very small men of the rest of the community. These appear to me to be the first and imme diate effects which the change in the constitu tion'has brought about. Then again I want to point oat to you how much the time of the Assembly is taken up in discussiDg small local Bills, and the great expenditure oE time that onght to be devoted to the more important and larger measures of the country. Just, imagine S8 members in the Lower House and ii members in the Legislative Council occupying their time with such a Bill as the Auckland High School Bill, the ParneJl Reserves Bill, or the Greymouth Racecourse Bill. (The speaker explained the tedious operations which these Bills would have to pass through in order to be come law). All this is done by a House which does not cost less than £250 or £300 a-day, aud which has to consider these petty, trifling measures—for triflliag they are so far as the colony is concerned—and has to devote a great part of its time to them, to the prej udice of other more important work, which it ought to con aider. I think you will see the aba>--rdity of this system. TheD, again, we are all of us told that there are no parties in the country, that the party lines have been obliterated altogether; but i can assure you there are, and always will be, two partie3 in the country. A t one time, perhaps, that argument might have applied, "when there was greater equality of con dition: when there were none of these enormous sums of money made by in dividuals. But now the tendency is to bring together a large number of wealthy men who believe it is their privilege to govern the country, and think they can do it a great deal butter than the people themselves. That is the tendency of a class which has acquired political power, and is more and more anxious to assert itself as it gains power, and againtt which it is the duty of the people toguai-d. Sir George Grey has taken upon himself the leadership oCa party which desires to guard against the K-owth of a domi nant class in the country. I am glad indeed to hear that cheer, because, depend upon it, the struggle is not; over yet; and rest assured that you will need him and he will need you for some time to come, lie has laid it down as a starting noint Unit the people of this colony shall rule themselves. (Cheere). Without distinction of class, without dihtinction of wealth, without distinction of position, that the whole people of the country shall be one people, and that they Shall control'the Govern ment of the country. (Oaee-s). Unless you have this there can be no equality of taxation. I have shown you already the i endency there is to endow one class of the community with privileges at the expenco of the rest. Unless the Government of the country be in the hands of the whole people this tendency must increase and you will find the lands of the country ab sorbed by a few people, whoae properties will be enhanced in value by the expenditure on public works, and as their wealth incrdases the great masss of the people must become poorer. I'nke the example of England. What have be come of the millions of acre 3of com mon lands that were available at one time for the use of the whole people? They' have gone into the hands of a few families. That ought of itself to be a warning to New- Zealand. Having those examples before you it wi'l be your own fault and your own folly if you bring tqe same evils upon yourselves in the .uture. Itis no use going to the poll dnd return ing a member to represent you in the Assembly x hinking that is local self-Government. It is Nothing unless you exercise control over the ndministratioa as well as the Government of a he country, and that you cannot do under the tpresent system, and never will do unless you .have a system of ijtrue local eelf-Government to replace tt at which has been destroyed. I have been accused of being a blind follower of sir George Grey, but though I do noc .think he has a more devoted follower than myself. I deny that I have t- Howed him blindly. I follow him because I see clearly what he is aiming at, and because I sympathise with his views, (Cheers.) He basi all kinds of supporters, supporters who give him lip-service and ake every opportunity of magnifying every mistake which the Government may make—and all Go vernments must make mistakes—and who are ever on the lock out to take advantage of those mistakes to secede ' from him; but there are others who admit mistakes, in ■ 3ome few minor matters, but endeavour loyally rto pull him through, and do not quarrel with him because of these ; small matters, when they (know that the great reforms he has in hand will need their support to carry them successfully rthrough. When I w.eat to the Assembly, nothing surprised me uiore than to find men calling themselves Conservatives, whose conduct con ;tradicted it. I told them they had destroyed the Constitution, instead of conserving it. Judge them by their acts and :the tendency of their legislation and taxation. Llepend upon it, there <is a gcewing class in this country, which con siders that the people require muzzling in some way, ant?- that they ara sent by Heaven to muzzle rfchem. That class is rapidly increasing and be coming more powerful, and. now is the time to jreaist lts.encroachments. That class Sir George Grey has.sec himself to curb; but how it is to be done yet ; remains to bo seen. Do not imagine the battje is over. Nothing hns been accom plished, ''"here is nothing but coufusion every •wherei. You havo yet to extend the franchise, to re-distribute the seat 3in the .Assembly to settle permanently one of the most important points—payment of members—upon which will depand whether you shall ohooso whom you like to represent you, or shall be restricted in your choice £p wealthy men, who choo3e to go there. You have to BetUs the constitution of the Upper House, which, .at present, ia responsible to no one. It does its work remarkably well, but con sidering the class.oC men in it, their sympathies must inevitably become more and more es tranged from the people. LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND SHPAH ATION. You have also to decentralise the whole ad ministration of the country to create some more definite system of local-self-government. You have all these things to do, and I believe in doing them you will have, after all. to go back to something like the old system of local legis lation, under which this colony so long thrived. ffhatj3XH7 individual opionjon, and that is the

opinion of a great many other members of the Assembly. That is' the opinion of many who voted for the abolition of the provinces! and who, if the same question came before them again, would vote awainsr, it Many are of ot inion that we may yet find ourselves with two Governments, one for each island, and a Federal Government at Wellington atoendiDg to colonial wants of the colony. Something will have to be done to give effect to those opinions. At the conclusion of th« session Sir George Grey fiaid he would take care those views were considered, and would seek to do all he could to setilo them. Nexr, session he will be in a better position than he was during the session iust closed. He will be in a position to demand a dis-olution, and therefore if his measures are rejected he will be able to go to the country and Bt>e what the people think of his policy. It would be rather presumptuous in me to say more, be cause I am not in the confidence of the Govern ment, but we may, judge from what fell from Km Geoige Grey on the last evening of the session that he will take care that none of those purposes which he had in view from the first shall be lost sight of if he can help it, and I, as your representative, shn.il be ready to support him to the utmost of my power." Mr Mo3S resumed his seat amidsC loud and prolonged cheers.

Jn reply to Mr Wrigley, Mr Moss said the intention of the Government to disovow all liability in respect to roads and bridges m«t with the general concurrence of members, and the question of making perniunent provision lor those wants would have to be considered when a new form of local self-crovernment shall be devised. The whole constitution of tthe country would have to be re- -uilt, which would require time.

In reply to Mr McColl, Mr Mosfj raid he believed the Government W'Uld be glad 10 see the Counties Ace adopted throughout tho colony because it Avould save them trouble.

In repiy to Mr Caleb Wood, Mr Moss HdvisHd the Borough of P«rnell not to allow its claim to select land in iho Patutahi block to subside.

Mr Wrigley proposed and Mr McColl second ed a vote of thanks and confidence to Mr Moss, which was carried unanimously. Mr Lowndts, on behalf of tho oyster and fishing ti ade, thanked Mr Moas for his efforts in the Assembly. Mr moss thanked tho meeting which dis persed after a vote of thanks to tiie Chairman.
