Mr Moss at Parnell.

Pursuant to advertised iavitation tho electors of Paruoll asserribled last night, in tllo public hall, tor the purpose of hearing from tho lips of. their representative an account of the proceedings duriug tho late session. The attendance was large. The Mayor (Mr J. \Y. Robinson) having been voted to tho chair) upon the motion of Captain McKenzie seconded l>y Mr J. M. Dargaville, opened the meeting with a few pßrtiuetH remarks. Ho theu called upon the speaker of tbo evening for his address. Mr Moss oa coming forward Was greeted with a hearty round of applause. Ho began bis speech by saying that he thought he would best consult tho convenience of his hearers by making his address as concise at possible so that they might have full opportunity to interrogate him upon any particular points that might suggest them selves. Although there were no great political questions agitating tho country at the present time, and, therefore, no necessity for culling the coustitucnta together, still he believed in. tho practice of periodical meetings betweoa electors and representatives. That was the reason which had actuated him in bringing them togethor on that occasion. Tho gentleman then passed on to indicate the position of parties air the commencement of the Session. Ho reminded his hearers that tho country at the end of last year had been sedulously filled with the direst forebodings concerning the finances in consequeuco of the alarming deficit which it was said the Grey Govern ment had brought about, but the real cause of which was a sudden and unlooked for falling off in tho Laud Ro venue. When Parliament assembled, there fore, it was sanguiocly anticipated that some well digested scheme of retrenchment had been prepared for submission to the Assembly, and that the legislative reforms whicti had been promised would have received early atten tion. However, nothing of the sort had been done, and to still further increase the dilliculties of the position, tho Government absolutely refused to accept any reduction of the estimates. At length after a special Government caucus it was seen that onds would have to bo mot in some way or another, and a ministerial supporter proposed a ten Dcr cent, reduction upon the salaries of all Civil Servants without reference to length of service, peculiarity of special circumstances, or general ability. The Government was not desirous of accepting the odium of bringing down such a measure, and therefore it was attempted to shift tho responsibility upon the shoulders of the House. But the House was not so easily hoodwinked, and Ministers had to father tho proposition at last. Then it was thought that the ques tions of local self-government, native land purchase, and native government, would receive attention; but, to the disappoint ment of very mauy people, measures ola promising character were aoandoned by the Government after being brought down. As representing tho party which had destroyed the Provincial form of Govern ment the country looked to Ministers for the substitution of some good system in its place. Tho promise ccrtuiuly was made but coolly ignored when the critical time came. After having elaborated a scheme of legislation in regard to native laud pur chase, that, too, was thrown overboard, ami negotiations which had been commenced under Mr Sheehan's rogime tor the acquisi tion of at least 300,01)0 acres of land iv this province alone were stopped. Thus a mag nih'cent lauded estate had beeu lost to this province—an estate which at no far distant date would be of immense value. Then, too, when the Ministerial party were in opposition they were loud in their denunciations of the system of personal Government, -which they asserted Mr ISheehau had initiated, and when they entered into office they were equally voluble in their promises ot reform. The result had been equally disappointing inthisas in other cases. Large sums of money had been voted to Mrßrycefor expenditure in whatever way he pleased, aud large tracts of native land lay at his dis posal, so that the practice which he had so unsparingly condemned when in opposition was now being coolly extended and perpetuated. Theu, too, it was gravely proposed to sequestrate the subsidies to local bodies, notwithstand ing the fact that they had been guaranteed for five years, and when the project was resolutely opposed, the utmost that could be obtained was a promise of half the subsi dies for this year. Next year nothing would bo voted in this way. In fact, the Government were mas ters of the situation last session and conscious of theirpower.they used it for their own party purposes. Wheuover a difficulty presented itself a caucus of Iheir supporters was held and a course having been marked out it was determinedly pursued. They spent no time in debate, but calmly listened to their opponents, and deaf to all persuasion or_ argumen tation, went to the division confident of vic tory. The opposition, on the contrary, was desirous of allowing them the greatest facil ities in their work of legislation and administration, and only required a- tem perate consideration of the business which came before them. Their conduct in this respect was in striking contrast to that of the Ministerialists when in opposition. Still, despite the strength of the Govern ment, retrenchment had been forced upon them ; for the temper of the country was such that had they not yielded to the pres sure brought to bear upon them they would certainly have been unseated. The result was that fully £200,000 had been knocked off the expenditure and the property tax had been passed, but without any amend- : ment having beeneffected init.The fear of Sir George Grey returning to power, spoiling such schemes as that of Pateterc,introducing a land tax, and advocating further liberal re forms, was really the feelingwhich bound the Government majority together, and cave to Ministers almost an arbitrary power. When ever a spirit of insubordination began to manifest itself in the ranks of their fol lowers they had only to mention the name of Grey and threaten to resign, when the disobedience was at once quelled. Thus it. came about that they had only to hold up their fingers in order to command a majority at any period. That was tho pivot upon which the session turned. The business of tho Opposition was simply to watch and criticise —beyond that their functions did not extend. One of the im portant bills that was passed was the Native Lands Courts Bill, which conferred very arbitrary powers upon the Chief Judge. Ho did not like to see so much authority vested in one man, but it could not be helped now. The results of the session altogether were by no means unimportant. One very great thing which had been achieved was the colonialisation of the land fund, and like all great feats it had been done suddenly. The Otago memDers had felt it very bitterly, because the legislators of that lartrc provinao had always conserved their land with the view of beneh'tting by it eventually. Their principle had been to settle the land and not merely sell it to fill the Treasury. Upon this subject the Auckland and Otago mem bers divided, but he hoped sincerely that the division would not be permanent, for in tho South, Auckland had no better friends— no warmer sympathisers, and no more valu able allies than tho Otago representatives. Two other measures which demanded some attention were the West Coasts Settlements Bill and the Maori Prisoners' Detention Bill. This last piece of legislation he had no hesi tation in denouncing as abominable. Our Commissioners had admitted that these natives, during fifteen years past, had suffered the greatest 'injustice, and yet daring that time they had remained at peace with us, protesting only at last in a harmless manner against the settlement of what they had been taught to regard their hereditary and peculiar possessions. These men were arrested, sent to prison, aud then, on the eve of tho expiration of their sentences, the [Bill referred •to was brought down in order to give the Government the arbitrary power of detain, ing the prisoners so long as they pleased. The Bill was passed, and its effect would bo to lower ihe reputation of tho colony in the eyes> not only of its own people, but also of the natives and of observers in other countries. It seemed ridiculous that with a force of 800 armed men upon the native frontiers we should be panic stricken by the utterances of a fanatic priest, and the possible action of his lew hundred half-armed followers. It was now clear that Te Whiti meant peace, and the settlers in that fortunate district which was most strongly represented by the Treasurer and Native Minister, wore being gratified by an expenditure of not less than £SOO,00() in roads and rail ways. When the land there was thus opened ud and sold, quarter of it would also go to the New Plymouth harbour. He would like a similar plan tried in tho Waikato. After referring to tho voting of Dr. Pollen's long agitated pension, Mr Moss proceeded to state his views upon those important questions which still engaged public attention. First of all he was happy to say that our finances were improving. We had gone as far as it was possible to go in the direction of Customs taxation for the most recent bur dens of that kiud cast upon the conntry had failed to produce the estimated result. The additional taxes had been

calculated to yield an increased revenue ef £300,003, but they were doing nothing of the sort. Tho question would become more pressing when our loans had been expen ded. Last session nearly £3,000,000 were voted jut of the loaii, and still there was a sum of £200,000 or £300,000 to vote. But more than quaiter of a million had beeu lent to repcuuc, and tlie revenue would have to increase before it could be repaid. They might expect, how ever, to hear, wheu Parliament met, that under the able management of the Government the revenue and expenditure had at last balanced — that both ends had met. Uut when they hoard this they must roraernber that by a now system only eleven months' expenditure) would appear against twelve .months' teveuue this year. Next year the Treasurer would not havo such a resource for it cauld only be played once. Another important matter for con sideration was this question of lands, and especially of native lands. It was a question which affected this Pro vincial district most largely, and it was one very difficult to got fairly heard in tho Assembly, and still more difficult to get understood. Three proposals had been made with regard to it. The first was that of the Government, viz,, that all land should be sold through the Waste Lands Boards, excepting, of course, lands for the purchase of which negotiations had already been commenced. Mr Macaudrew supplemented aud supported tho Government propositions, as did the Southern members generally, with the ad dition that there should be two or three Maori members upon each Waste Lauds Board, so that they might be enabled to look after the interests of their people. The second proposal was what was called free trade in land, but it was not listened to, fho third proposal was Sir George Grey's. It gave tho Maori lnnd-ownors the power of appointing committees to deal with their laud. The practical result, however, of all these propositions was that nothing what ever was done, and native laud laws wore in much tho same xtatenowasthcy werebefore. It was vow in the power of anyone to pur chase native land when, whore, aud how ho might, and there was a prospect of many takiug advantage of so favourable an oppor tuuity. It was thereforo possible that a liirgo proportion of tho most valuablo blocks would pass into private hands. The Govorn ruent had absolutely stopped purchasing, and the fiild was open to private speculators, who would come in and buyjright and left. The seiious question arising out of this state of matters was this : " Whatjis to become of the people of New Zealand if these huge blocks of laud are to remain permanently in thn possession of the families which now hold them. If they were cut up and sold and re-sold the danger would not be so groat, but if not the ultimate position of tho people would be that of Ireland, whoro 600,000 tenants looked helplessly up to their few thousand landlords, ' many of whom resided out of tho country. England and Scotland had escaped, through their manufacturing industries, a great part of tho landed evils which overwhelmed Ireland, and with. her example before our eyes wo should take warning in time. Wo had exceptional facilities for achieving that end. Our system of land exchange was simpler than that which England possessed, and the abolition of tho law of primogeniture was another very great advantage. He would urge a pro hibitory law upon tho accumulation of property in private hands similar to that which obtained in several of the European states. These dangers wore by no means imaginary, and ho did not enter upon the subject without full authority for any statements which he had to "make. He would give them a few illus trations of the manner iv which this con solidation of estates was going on iv

the various provinces of the colony. Commencing with Auckland, he would refer them to the fact that there was one county with an area of 157,000 acres of which IS men owned 151,000 acres. In Hawkes' Bay there was a county of 219,000 acres of which 2G men owned 213,000 acres. Passing theucj to tho South Island tnere was a county iv Canterbury or rather upon its borders which comprised an area of 150,000 acres of which ten men owned 135.000 acres, and in the same province there was another county of 332,000 acres, of which nineteen men owned 329,000 acres. There was yet another, however, -the champion county be might call it—which had an area of 179,000 acres and was absolutely owned by three men. This was an indication ol what was going on. In process of time, unless prohibitive measures were adopted, the large landowners would buy up the small one's, and. 'the work of accumulation woilld go on with greater rapidity. Ono very effective way of guarding against the evilalso was to prevent the estates of two or'three landowners beiug formed into a county (as a matter of convenience. Their estates should be parcelled out nmongst various .other counties until they had a sufficient number of large owners settled upon them. Of the land laws generally, he would say that greater facilities should be offered for the establishment upon small holdings of a thrifty and industrious yeo manry. In times of dbprcssion these hold ings became harbours of refuge to strug "ling connections and friends in the towns, who, without such means of help in seasons of dulness, would fall back upon public charity. He had been astonished during the past session at the introduction of a bill (the Hospitals and Charitable Insti tutions Kill), whose object was simply to encourage tho division of tho country with poor law districts, and the foundation of pubile workhouses. The bill, however, was fortuuately dropped. There was another very pressing question, which was full of significance, and that was the neces sity for providing tho country with some satisfactory system of local self-government. It was obvious to anyone who paid even a superficial attention to Parliamentary matters that the Houses were over-worked, and that they were manifestly unable to do justice to the duties required of them. The result was that measures were hurried through Parliament by an indifferent majority, and that very few bills received full consideration. If this system wer<i not discontinued, the practical effect would be that the country would be ruled by a bureaucracy established at Wel lington, and that the most paltry local wants would have to be made known, and agitated at the seat of Government. The only °means of remedying that state of things was the drafting of a satisfactory system of local self-government (A voice: Separation.) He was afraid that this con summation could not be hoped tor now, for both Islands were bound together by their responsibility for the loans. The speaker went on to narrate the cavalier treatment which his local Govern ment propositions met with at the hands ot the Cabinet last Session. He was in a minority now, but he felt hopeful that it would not be so long. (Cheers.) Local legislatures seemed to him a palpable necessity, for the central machinery was quite unable to perform what was de manded of it. He felt sure tha* these local legislatures wouldj yet be revived, and would govern a contented and p;"sperous population. Having thanked tho audience for the patience with which ho had been heard Mr Moss resumed his scat amidst loud applause. Questions having been invited, Mr Dargaville asked if Mr Moss did not think that the Government had not . fostered native industries as they ought, and if it was not their duty to do so. Mr Moss said that he had no hesitation in answering thequestion in the affirmative, for he held that the establishment and encouragement of native industries was a highly important work. Mr Caleb Wood, having been assured that the pensions of Civil Servants had been abolished, wished to know if it was risht that railway employes in this Province should be paid a lower rate of wages than that which obtained in tho south. Mr Moss replied in the negative, besides stating that he was not aware that such a disparity existed. Mr C. Wood asked if IttrMoss considered it politic and right on the part of the Go vernment to withdraw from the purchase of Patetere.

Mr Moss said as he had already explained lie thought it most wrong and unfor tunateasageneralpriuciple,for this province iv particular, to withdraw from the pur chase of native lunds. Why the Go vernment should withdraw from the purchase of Patetere he did' not know, because it was obviously to tho public advantage to acquire it, inasmuch as a road to the Lakes would pass through that block, and if the land were allowed to pass into private hands, a great expenditure would be incurred for private benefit chiefly. Mr Wood proceeded to denounce the Go vernment for their action in this matter, aud concluded by proposing "That this meeting disapprove of the action of the Go vernmeut in having withdrawn from the purchase of the Patetere Block, for i the benefit of speculators." The motion was seconded by a person in the body of the hall, and on beingput to the meeting was carried without dissent. An elector asked if there was any chance of obtaining an endowment for the Borough of Parnell. Mr Moss said that an endowment had been given situated some hundreds of miles away in the North, and it wa3 to be hoped that coal, «s some other valuable mineral,

would bo foundupon it.J|Ho had strenuously endeavoured to obtain a better endowment, but was told that if any change were made in favour of Parnell there would be hundreds of Other similar applications, and therefore there was no prospect of I*arnell gdtting any bettor endowments. The local bodies had certainly not a bright future to look forward to.

[A voice : 1 believe an application was made for an endowment at Gisborne.]

Mr Moss said that such an application was mado as ho had explained, but tile people of Gisborne had protested against it, as they desired to re tain tho land for local administration. He considered it very unjust that Parucll should be deprived of the endowment which it had been promised, but at present ho saw no reasonable prospect of their claims beiug satisfied.

Mr Neylon asked if the lion, member was in favour of the enforcement of penalties in time contracts. Iv a great many cases contractorsprolonged theircontrnctsforinde elluite periods, to suit their own interests, and very often in such cases the penalties Were remitted.

Mr Moss said ho could hardly bo ex pected to answer a question ot that kind offhand, because the reply depended a great deal on a knowledge ot tho special circuni ntauces of the case. Speaking generally, however, unless some exceptional reasons were forthcoming for the remission of penal ties he did not see why the concession should be granted. There should always bo somo good reason for it, Still he thought it would be very hard to absolutely enforce the penalties in all cases. Mr Neylon desired to know whether Mr Moss would support a short measuro to compel contractors to carry out their work in Buch a manner as to lessen danger to tho workmen as much us possiblo byjrogulating falls of earth, and thereby preventing oc currences such as had taken placo at Fort Britomart aud other places in tho city. Mr Moss said that while at Wellington ho had received letters on tho subject, and ho laid them before tho Minister of Public Works, who promised to look into tho subject at once. Ho callod upon tho Minister afterwards and was told that the subject had been looked into and instructions given in the direction desired. He had been assured that thoso instructions had been put into force, and that tho possibility of Bimilar accidents in tho future would be prevented.

Mr Neylon asked if the member did not think it impolitic on the pa<tof the Govern ment to send shipments of unemployed to Auckland at a tiuio when the labor market was already glutted. Would Mr Moss use his iniluence to prevent the recurrence of such a thing? A great many of the unem ployed of Wellington had been transported hither iv a Government steamer, and when they arrived they were uuablo to obtain work.

Mr Moss said this was ono of thoso questions which it was ditlicuit to answer unless tho whole of the circumstances were known. It convinced him how impossible it was to obtain satisfaction when they had to go to Wellington and agitate these things themselves. It showed tho necessity tor the existenco of some local authority competent to deal with such matters. I&.T Raines produced a list of rates of pay of railway employed in Auckland and Can terbury, showing that iv the latter placo the scale was 25 per cent, higher than iv the former. He asked if it was fair, seeing that Auckland people had to bear their share of taxation, that the local railway employe's should not receive a fair propor tion of wages. Mr Moss had no doubt that the state ment was perfectly correct, but he did not know how ho could help tho Auckland rail way employe's. 110 would make tho ne cessary representations to the Govcrumcut on the matter ; but if the subject was again brought unaer his notico when he would be in Wellington, and ho had a vote to give, there could be no doubt that his aid would be far more effective than it could be now. He would be only too glad to give his at tention to the matter next session, and to accept any fall and acenrate information on matters of local interest.

Mr Kainea having put somo questions with reference to tho Property Tax, which Mr Moss satisfactorily answered,

Mr Neylon inquired if the lion member would be- in favour of a Land Tax particu larly attecting absentee owners and also those owners who had been especially bene fitted by the public works expenditure so as to relieve the working classes "from some nieasure of the excessive burdens which they had at present to bear. Mr Moss said that ho had voted for the Land Tax, and he would like to have the op portunity of doing so again. This was not likely to occur, however, while the present party had the power in their hands. So far as the incidence of taxation was concerned, he sympathised with those who objected to the imposition of fresh customs taxation, for its tendency would be to injure the country. If fresh taxes wero necessary they should be unquestionably of a direct character. Thero being no further questions to put, Captain McKenzie proposed a vote of con fidence in Mr Moss a3 the representative of Parnell, and of thanks to him for bis exertions on behalf of the Borough in. Par liament as well as for his address that even ing. The resolution was seconded by Mr J. Winks, and carried unanimously. Mr Moss having duly acknowledged the compliment, proposed a vote of thanks to tho chair, which'was passed with cheers. The meeting theu dissolved.

The Afghan War.

KANDAHAB, September 27. The scarcity of forage presents a serious difficulty to the 50,000 horse and baggage animals with the force in South Afghan istan. From Sibi to Kandahar the country is denuded.

BOMBAY, September 28,

General Roberts has left Kandahar for India. He has bf en appointed to the com mand of the Madras army. Before leaving, he distributed "distinguished service" medals, &c, and made a speech to the 92nd Highlanders and the sth Ghoorkas, and spoke in high terms of their gallantry. A Court of Inquiry is sitting at Kandahar to inquire into the Marwand disaster. Major Currie, of the 3rd Bombay Cavalry, and Colonel Malcolm, of the 3rd Scinde Horse, have been suspended. It is believed that Kandahar will he evacuated by tho British. A largo number ot troops aro returning to India. '

The native tribes in Southern and Western Afghanistan along the course of the Helmund liiver are in a state of disturbance. The high road between Herat and Kandahar, which passea through this territory, is unsafe, and many caravans conveying merchandise have been looted by predatory tribes. Intelligence received from Kandahar states that sickness is very prevalent among the British troops there, and their health generally is unsatisfactory.

The Sculling Championship.

(BY TJBIiKGEAPH, PEESS ASSOCIATION.)

LONDON, October 3. The American Hop Bitters Manufacturing Company have written to Trickett offering £1000 prize money to be competed for in a professional single sculling race, open to the world, on English water. They invite Trickett to row in a single sculling regatta on the Thames, or other suitable water near London, England, some time in Nov> ember or December, 1880, for the Hop Bitters cash prize of 5000 dollars, as fol lows :—For first prize, 2500 dollars; 2nd, 1600 dollars ; 3rd, 700 dollars ; 4th, 300 dol lars. Entries free. Open to all the world. Trickett replied, accepting the proposal, but refused to row later than on the 22nd of November, beinp desirous that Lay cock, who must leave England by the 26th of November, should take part in the race, Trickett stipulated that if the race is rowed on the Thames it must bo in heats, as thero is no room oa the river, otherwise he sug gests that the trustees of the Sportsman's Challenge Cup should arrange heats in such a way that there shall he one American, ona Australian, and one Englishman in each. The general opinion is unfavourable to Trickett's style, as he slides too short.

THE HOME RULERS.

The Home Eulers, whom the Imperial Government baa decided to prosecute for conspiracy, are all notable men, not only among their own party, but also in the British House of Commons. They are all finished debaters and eloquent speakers, while several of them have acquired con siderable distinction in the literary world. Mr Parnell (the leader) is member for Cork city. He is a ready orator and a Parlia mentary tactician of the first order. Mr A. M. Sullivan is entitled to a position quite as high, both from his scholarly attainments and oratorical abilities. By profession he is a journalist, and so also are Mr T. D. Sullivan (West Meath), Mr Thomas Sexton (Sligo County), Mr Kelly (Roscommon), and Mr T. P. O'Counor (Galway Boroagh). The latter gentleman is a writer and speaker of admitted!v great power. Mr ArthurO'Cou nor (Queen's County), John Dillon (Tip perary), [and Mr Bigger are amorjgst the most active and versatile of th

f obstructionists. The first named of i the trio is a son of Dr. O'Connor, and though he is but a young member, he has already made his mark, while Mr Dillon ia known as about the most extreme Home Ruler in Parliament.
