WEDNESDAY AFI'EKNOoN,

Petition for Helief.

Sir Geo. Gkby presented a petition from John Black praying for relief, be having been employed for years in the service of the colony. The Native Land Co.'s Bill.

Mr Hajilin brought up the report .of the Joint Committee on the Native Land Co.'a .Bill, as telegraphed yesterday. The bill was read a Mist time,

Mr MitcheljSON postponed his ques tion re Whangarei-Waipu Kailway till 19th inst.

Gorse on Bonds.

Mr O'Callaqhan, in asking his question re the spreading of gone on roads, said his reason for doing so was, it had been ruled that owners of land with hedges of go^e that bad spread on to rotda prior to the passing of the Public Works Act, 1882, could not ba compelled to remove it. Major ATKItSOH said the Government In'end dtu iutioduceat|imendment in the law iliat would muot ttie cusp.

The neUgious Inquisition in

Auckland,

Mr MOSS, ia askiut? his question re the Auckland Board of education's religious register, said it was quite competent for the Government to remonstrate with the Board, and if they took no notice, to pass a short Act dealing with the question. Mr Dick was glad thut Mr Moss appre ciated that the Government had no power under the present *ct to ioteifere with the Board. tie was afraid tbat remonstrance could not be of much value, as such bodies were geueraliy of an independent character, and, perhaps, would not ieply. He thought teachers had sufficient protec tion, as they could, if so minded, refuse to answer the question as to religious belief. He, however, hoped the Board would recede from the position taken.

3he Informer Carey.

Mr Bracken, in asking his question aa to preventing the landing in this colony of Carey uud other Phoenix Park murderers said the Minister* had no doubt seen in the papers that these objectionable characters were to be removed to one of the colonies in the Eastern Hemisphere. However loyal they might te to the Mother Country, they objected to her sending the filthiest dregs to the colony. Mr Bbyce, in replying, said the Govern ment had no power to do what the hon. member wished. KeplyingtoSir GBO. Gbky, Major Atkin son said it would not be desirable to move the picture of Mr Featherston to the Parlia ment building-, aa it would not be accessible during the n-uuter part of the year,

'ihe Westland Educational

Difficulty,

Mr SKDDON presented a petition from rosidents of Westland, alleging grievances against the present Education Hoard of the district. It is said to be the largest petition presented to the House, containing 3,000 signatures, and being a chain and a-half long.

Salaries m the Insurance

Department.

Mr Hutchison gave notice to ask when the return of salaries paid to officers of the Insurance Department will be laid on the table.

Ihe Contagious Diseases Act.

Mr jßutchisos, in asking leave to intro duce the Contagious Diteases Repeal act, asserted that the Act remained on the Statute Book of the colony simply because members of the House were Dot aware of the natuie of the Act. Any woman in the colony might be informed against by a police i-py and confined in the gaol on the certificate of the gaol surgeon. Thi«, he maintained, was inimical to all liberty. Fortunately, the Act had not been operative except at Christ chutcb, where it had done harm. ' The City of Auckland also proposed to introduce the measure, but he understood it was not in tended to go further with it. Their prin. cipal objection to the Act, however, was that every now and then persons, for the sake of gaining notoriety, got up an agita tion against the Act which was almost a dead letter. He quoted English statistics to show that the operation of the Act at Home bad been a failure.

Mr KoILESTON deprecated the hop. member going into the principle of the bill on the first reading, and stated that when the Act came up for second reading, he in tended to show that iy operation in the colony had been successful, tie pointed out that Mr Hutchison had made a mistake ia the reading of the Act when he said that the liberty of women was at the meicy of a policeman and gaol surgeon, pointing out that every information should come before a Justice of the Peace.

Mr Pyke thought the Act had done good, but instead of being permissive, it should be made compulsory, and that every town iv the colony should introduce it. Under the present law women of a certain class becouiiDg deceased at Christcriurch moved to another part of the colony, takiDg the contagion with them. Mr Montgomery would go farther than the^Act, and place all pnt of bad repute under legal surveillance, as on the Con tinent. Human nature was human nature, and vice would always exist, and young men should be protected. Mr JotCE pointed out that the statistics quoted by Mr Hntchison were fallacious. Mr Buchanan spoke about the abuses of the surveillance system- in Paris, and thought Mr Hutchison had done good ser vice in introducing tbis measure. Mr Hgtchison, in reply, said that after a woman had once been brought before a justice she was always at the mercy of the gaol surgeon. He again maintained that statistics proved that in towns where the Act was in force disease and vice had in creased.

The Honse divided on the question tbat the bill be read a first tim* : Ayes, 19; noes, 42. Mr Hutchison, in introducing the Com panies Act Amendment Bill, said ita inten tion was to remove all doubt as to the meaning ot section 2 of the Act,

It was read a first time on the voice*. lhe Decentralisation Debate.

The adjourned debate on Mr Mont GOMERY'S motioH was resumed.

Mr Lkvistam, in an excellent speech, professed adherence to provincialism, being asserted, and said tfiat kelson people objected to the immense spending power of rolling. He believed if Sir Julius Vogel bad been permitted to cany oat his scheme in its entirety, he would have been able to Government, which so frequently led to log. carry it on to a successful issue, but the ex penditure of borrowed nionoy on political railways bad brought about the present state of things. It had been stated that Government had a large majority and did not want a larger one. If so, why did they make a contract with Canterbury members. It hid gout] forth to ths country that Government were prepared to temporise with Canterbury members at any moment,despite the statements in the public works policy. Major Atkinson said the complaint all over the country was the want of money, but he said it wis the misappropriation of the money. Heheldthat thepromiseswnienwere made at the time of abolition had not been carried out, and then proceeded to refer to the unfair treatment of Nelson in the matter of the South Island main trunk line. G c asked if past treatment was any guaran tee of better in future. He felt that some people in bis district would vote for a return to Provincialism.

Mr Thomson, in a dreary speech, went over a lot of old ground. He said the Abolition Act had been carried merely for the promises it contained, Mr Fish denounced the Government for discourtesy to the Opposition, inasmuch as for only one member the Ministerial side of the House had spoken. His remarKS were interrupted by the 5.30 adjournment.

EVENING SITTING.

2he Decentralisation Debate,

Mr Fisn resumed his Epcech to a thin House, but several minutes were given to bring Ministers out of their shell. He said he declined to regard the question as one of want of confidence, though it was current in the lobbies tbat Ministers had instructed their supporters to regard the matter aa a Ministerial question, Be asked the Government if the question was to be treated as one of want of confidence, and paused for a reply. No reply corning from Ministers, Mr Fish made a slashlag attack on Major Atkineon, accusing him of breaking_ his written word, and having acted Inconsistently in making decentralisation a party question, and at the same time intimating that he would not make his scheme of National Insurance a party question. Why was a different course adopted in the latter instance ? Because Major Atkinson knew that the country had declared agalnßt his propoaal, and even Government supporters would not support him in it. He (Mr Fish) hac" been a strong abolitionist, but he had seen .ho paralysing effects of Centralism, 'lbe '

Treasurer pointed with pride to the K<nd. and Bridges Construction Act aa tan acme of Centralism, but he called it the motit ' corrupt and pernicious Act passtd by the Legislature. It ciushod all eelf-ieiiance out c! local bodies, and led them to acts of extravagance, and the scheme must fall to pieces from sheer want of money to supply the Treasury chest, from which the demands of local bodies weie supplied Under a proper sjitem of local government the House would not be called upon to legislate on such matters as the doe tar and small birds nuisance. Uider the central system everything had to come to " this lazarhoase of Wellington." He nro tested the utter inability of Southern mem", bers to legislate satisfactorily on matters of Northern policy. There was no community of interest between the North and Bouth and consequently the House was in "J wre cied coalition of incompatible atoms " He insinuated that Mr Kelly's motion ie iJiuiive Lauds was merely a stalking' horse to discover the ieeling ot the House on mat. teis «,f native poMoy. He referred to con tending opinions as to tiie desirability or otuerwi eof the Land Company's ill and asked how could Southern membe a be ex pectedin fact of such diverse opinions to" give an intelligent vote. H e ma ntained that Mr Montgomery had acted wi>. lyinnot enterin» into details as no more than twoor three members would have the came opinion on the subject. He asserted that there was a strong community of interest between C tago, Canterbury, and Westland Major Atkinson had urged that the ) police could not be managed by local con« trol; no, everything must come uuderhii eagle eye and destroying power The speaker then made a Cuoe attack on the financial ma-^ement of the Government, calling the Treasurer a financial juggler and who would be the last man to provide a remedy to avert the country from bankruptcy. Instead of incieasing the Property Tax, he should have reduced the expenditure. He twitted the Government on not representing the country, and made a point against them for having to humiliate themselves by giving a written promise to the Canterbury members. Their own sup. potters would not take their word. Let the Canterbury members not be deluded. The Government had no intention of making the Westland line. Dared he re» veal what he knew, he could conclusively prove that ten days ago the Government had no intention of making the line, or 6vea of making a survey. In concluding a most powerful speech, no said If the tecord of members who had broken their election pledges could be published, it would be one of the most infamous documents, politically speaking, the world had ever seen. Mr Fish's denunciatory address, which occupied 1£ hours, brought Mr Mchbo to his feet, He made a mild speech .on the advantages^ the connty system as against provincialism, though he saw that the local bodies had not received the endowment! promised at the time of abolition, which had resulted in a partial failure of the county system. He regretted tbat Mr Montgomery had not gone into the question of ways and means, as that was the real point at issue. Referring to the second resolution re discontent tEronghoat the colony, be asked if the present diicon* tent was equal to the discontent before Abolition. He said, no. He had the prim ciples of true local self-government at heart, but the effect of the resolution, if passed, would be merely nominal. He ob jected to the tendency <o lengthy abstract discussions that did not produce results. His experience of Provincialism was such as to induce him to vote against the motion. Be urged that the issue be taken on Pro* vinclallsrn, or any form against the connty system. Mr Holmis made a somewhat ineffeo tive speech against Centralism, though he would not give his vote for a return to the old system of provincialism. He spoke till the 10.30 adjournment.

Mr Connelly resumed the debate, speaking strongly against Provincialism, a return to which he believed impossible. They might ruke up the dead benes, bat tbey could never clothe them with flesh again, He gave Mr Montgomery credit for stating the question fairly from his point of view, and with him he believed that if ever there was a reversion to some* thing like what Mr Montgomery proposed, Marlborough and Nelson would join with southern part of this island. He said that the members in favour of the motion had failed to prove that there was any dissatis* faction traceable to the centralising policy! Replying to Mr Fish's argument re " in« compatible atoms" he said that hon, members should remember tbat Canterbury and Westlcnd were once united, bat there was so much incompatibility amongst the atoms that they soparated,aud there was no evidence that there was to-day greater com munity of interest between Canterbury and Westland than there was ten years ago. He expressed his belief that if the matter was referred to the constituencies, many having grievances would vote for some; change from the existing system, but ho was also sure that their anticipations would be grievously disappointed. He replied to the strictures passed on the Canterbury compact, and urged* that it waa a proper thing that a compact should be put in writ* ing. 7he compact had been written by tha Premier, after due deliberation by the Cabinet, and he asserted that it contained little more than what was promised in the Public Works Statement;; and instead of costing £30,000, as had been stated, the survey would cost ODly £4,000. Captain McKknzie denied that the peo* pie of the colony wanted a change, and after stating his intention of voting against the motion,combnttcd at length the argu ments of the supporters of the motion. Ha thought tbat county councils should be given extended powers and encouraged to amalgamate, and so lessen the coat of man agement.

After Captain McEenzie concluded, Ml Pyke moved the adjournment of the debate which was carried, and the House ad* journed at 12.5.
