of public works. Additions and repairs to buildingi, furniture, and similar items ''■'■'_ abso. '■ -. i all of even this small 1 provuiMi, excepting a poor £10,00. All for Irutk. on goldfields, and £3 000 3 for prospecting. The whole of th. greet Iff balance was needed to pay interest on _■ loans, departments, the working of the railways, the coßt of education (exclusive of school buildings), aud the maintenance * of hospitals and asylums. There remain the land sales, a fluctuating rl and decreasing amount, but which were estimated to produce £330,000 for the I current year. The Survey and Crown Lands Departments absorb £154,000 of this amount. Two Reclamation Boardg (New Plymouth and Lake Ellosmore) take i £50,000, and the local bodies get £35,000 ' ' $ for their share of the proceeds of deferred H payment lands. The ordinary subsidies to ■'«§ local bodies will absorb probably £90 000 more. Here we have the only source/ex cept loans, from which the smallest aid in opening up the country is to be ex pected.

Let us turn to the loans. From them we have now to look for roads and bridges public buildings, water works, lighthouses and telegraphs, land purchase and immi gration. These, with the departments connected with public works and railway construction, absorb nearly £700,000 dur ing the year. The construction of railways takes nearly a million, and £184,000 was required for contingent defence. It will be seen from this brief sketch how unhealthily dependent we are becomingupen loans, If we do not take care, borrow ing must become our normal state. The best and surest means of taking care is to brihg down the enormous central expendi ture, and to begin by reducing the number of members in our overgrown Legislature to ut least one-half. This can only be ac complished by handing over local duties to well orgauiscd local bodies by whom they canbs more efficiently and more economically performed.

In this light, local self-government is an important question of administia Son.' Finance is dependent upon locil govern ment, and not local government upon finance. But I venture to say that it is of still graver moment if regarded from the ground of a higher policy; and that the 1 fate of those who come after us must largely depend upon its satisfactory solntion. Shall New Zealand continue 1 its march as the well ordered and . prosperous Democracy it has hitherto been. 1 Or shall it, as wealth increase, and society il becomes more artificial, sink into an _\ Oligarchy, with thy social misery and political ■ servitude from which an Oligarchy is always more or lees inseparable ? It is this consi deration which gives dignity and weight to a question that might well be relegated to tbe background of politics if it concerned only the power of the people to control I small local works, and to regulate small 1 local affairs. Let us therefore first glance at J The Political Aspect.

The old New Zealand institulions were based upon the incontestible fact that its people were a Democracy. They had left 'm_ behind [them the well-established and X varied political orders and social classes which time and circumstance have pio duced at home. The Provincial Govern ments were almost entirely democratic, :||| There wasawidesuffrage, with elected Legi latures and elected Executive Chief., The m General Government was somewhat dilTc rently constituted. Prerogative was repro- . ■'•} scntcd by a nominated Upper House and a Jp nominated Executive Chief. The Governor '.if of the Clony was supposed to exercise this '. -a picrogative as the representative of our 5 gracious Queen. Iv reality it was exercised ' by the Colonial Ministry, uncontrolled by the constant regard for the good understan ding between the Sovereign and the people, and by the ancient usages and tra ditions which influence a Ministry at home. . Nor did there rest upon our Upper House I a shadow even of the personal aud political responsibiliti.s which press upon tbe Bouse ol Lords, whose place in our system it waa ■ .| designed to fill.

Unfortntately the Imperial Act which 11 created our Government was parsed at a time when democracy was regarded in Eng- ;i| Und with a hatred and mistrust which ' hate now tappify passed away. That Now Zealand was a Democracy, and that, from its physical formation, the country could not be governed from any one centre, were not to Jf begaimaid. But it was resolved that demo- Jl cracy should be controlled. Hence the generßlGovernment,embodyingtheantagon- J istic element of nomineeiim, was not only mace tupreme but was endowed with a | concuncnt jurisdiction against which Mr I Gladstone and other eminent men in Par- jf liament vainly protested at the time. They J uged, in the strongest term', that Demo- '.* cracy and heartfelt Loyalty had gone together in the best times in the old colonies of | England's earlier days, and that they might well be trusted to go together in the new. But they urged in vaiu. A provision tbat the Upper House should be elected by Hit: Provincial Councils was struck out and they were left defenceless in tbe hands of the General Legislature. Gradually tho General Government developed the prini _\ ciple of ant-gonism on which it rested, In crea:i__ wealth and population, and in creasing diversity of interests and pursuits, {m gave to it ever increasing temptations and fS opportunities. In the conflict that ensued . the Provincial Councils broke away front > "ii the control of the powerful party whicli aspired, inthosedays, "to curbdemocracj"-^S by establishing the English system of a governing class in a country iv which .i such a class had always been unknowni H The General Government, m tho contrary,ll unobserved and unregarded, fell into their hands. Skilfully taking advantage of their I own power and of defects in the conßtitutioß*?S of Provincial Governments, they reduced I theiu, by constant aggression, to poverty, \_\ weakness and contempt. In 1876, the conflict culminated in the destruction of the j$ provinces, and hundreds of trained men went forth trom the provincial councils bent I on making their principles prevail in the fl Gtneral Legislature which they had pre- ,<| vionsly been too. well occupied to regard. -5i The Bouse of Bepr< sent.tives was over|9 whelmed by wbat those of the o'd school .'. called "a wave of democracy," andltshalln were filled with men, dett rained above all I things to guard against the ascendancy of ?w particular classes for particular sets of men, :M which they clearly saw that Centralism .a-< sure to produce, Pkovincial iHSTITimONS, | Excellent as were these ihstitutions in . principle, and admirably as they managed affairs in the early days when the Assembliaf was yet too weak to molest them, they had '__■ inherent defects. Their sphere of action _\ was neither defined nor independent. Their finance was dependent on that of .-.ifl General Government, and they suffered $__* its wasteful extravagance and needless\|| war*. _ They were prohibited from pastingH laws that created a criminal offence and, H being thus deprived of the power of CO-OH 1 pelltng statutory declarations,, they could V; only raise a revenue by the rudest and I most inefficient means. Their laws had to !M f receive the sanction of the General Govern- ; f ment and their elected chief was made responsible to it and not to the' people who V elected him. The latter was a fatal defect. $ It forced the Councils to resort to a system l!.' S of "responsible ministries" unsuited to.''-'' Ligi-Ltuies of their eh.racer. With an / elected chief, the Executive and Legislature ;f f might easily have been kept distinct. A con- 1 tinuous andsteady control over the fiuancea and over the administration, bright have -• been fonnd in the well-proved expedient of « giving to the Councils power to override :^!b the veto of tbe Superintendent by a fixed % » majority of their men.btrs. Had they '.M f_ possessed this power, common in similarly^ M constituted Legislatures, the work of the I S> largest province could have teen done by i » the Superintendent with a couple of secrt>|jjji taries (of his own seloction and approved by'"« R the Council) instead of with the " respond! ff Bible advisers," by whom, in the absence of » ether safeguards,the Gouncl was obliged to jj jf | surround him. Had thisi been done vre|^ «■ should havo bten saved tbe patty fights and||| 1. the mimic political struggles, which so abJ/rajj' aided the General Government in com- 4 bating inetitntions [which it was bent up..llj g destroying, but which a 't^er wisdoft___-l would have induced it to refora H, (To be continued) p.
