Reduction of Estimates,

Mr Hutchison Rave notice of bis inten tion to move that, looking to tbe financial condition oi tbe colony and the pressureof taxation upon the people, it is tbe opinion of tbo House that the annual Estimates of cxpendituio nhould be largely curtailed, and with this oud that Government take mea sures, (1) To reorganise andanulgainntethe offices iv all branches of tbe Civil Service. (2) to reduce the coatflof tho Native and Defence Departments at once by £50,000 ; (3) to abolish the ollice of Agent-General; (4) to reduce Government] salaries as soon aa such reduction can be affected consis tently with good faith to be observed between the several authorities concerned ; (5) to repeal those special Acts of the Legislature (with tbe exception of these affecting Legislative officeis and Judges of the Supreme Court) in so far as such acts authorise the piyment of salarios and charges in future, under the review of tbe House of Repre?entatives, from year to year.

Mr Kklly gave notice to move that the reward for the discovery ot goldfields apply to tbe whole colony, Mr Geeks gave notice of his intention to move that the Klght Hours' Bill be recom mitted.

Sir Georqb Gret asked when the dis cussion on his Land Tax motion would take place. Major ATKINSON expressed his willing ness to fix a day fjr the debate j but after somo conversation no arrangement was co mo to.

Committee of Supply.-Import-

ant Debate.

Tbe House was moved into Committee) of Supply. The first vote was for the Colo nial Secretary's department—£l,B9s. In reply to a question, Mr Dick said ho could not reduce tbe vote. Mr Hutcuison mad* an amusing speech on tbe necessity of making a reduction. He fold that tho working of the department could be done by one man, whereas there was an under-secretary, a chief clerk, and a few oihers, Whenever a young man came out who was well con nected, he was shoved into the big Govern ment Building. It was a wonder, big as It was, how it held them. Mr SW4NSON thought the House should send back the Estimates to the Govern, mcnt with a recommendation that they be reduced £5,000 or £10,000. He moved that the committee report progress. Mr BißßONsaid it was impossible for the Opposition to reduco the Estimates. If hon. members would move, the estimate would hn talon, anA tUa Opptvaiiian WAiiM ftlipport the motion to a man. (Hear hear.)

Mr J. E Brown said it was the duty of the House to make what reduction they thought proper, In the face of such a motion as that proposed by Mr Swanson, no Ministry with any self-respect would keep their seats. Mr Seddon said the good hard common sense of Mr Swanson had come to the rescue of the colony, and he hoped tha Ministry wonld not regard it as an adverse vote He pointed out that slnco 18S1 there had been an increase in the salaries paid to tho civil servants of £300,000. Sub stantlal reduct'ons could net be mado in Committee of Supply; the S'oper persons to mako the re actions were tho Government, and they dare not force civil servants with out an express direction of tho Houso to cut down the Estimates, Therefore ho hoped Ministors would vote for the motion. Ho earnestly entreated them not to mako tho matter a party question.

Mr II a.vL'N here reminded the commltteo that the only quction before it was tha' tho committee should report progress. Mr SWANSON hero, said if he had soougbt this would be mado a party question he would not havo mentioned tie nutter. He asked tho House to strengthen the hands of Gnvernmout in making the redaction. Major Atkinson went through the cstimnte.', and nssertod [that the only in crease in the civil service was £18,000 in oases of small sslarled officials, and the return of the 10 per cent. It w»s perfectly Impo* siblo to further reduce, at present, the salaries of civil servants. The fault was in the system, and It was with a view to reorganisation that thoy intended moving for a committee. Colonel Trimdlb accused the Opposition of want of economy when in office. He assorted that sslarles wero already too low, but there were too many offloers. Mr SWANSO* said In making reductions he would commence in the House itself, and prune right and left. He felt sure that the work of tho Government Buildings oould bo done better by two-thirds of the staff. Mr MONTGOMERY said if the Ministry believed conscientiously that the Estimates should be pruned by £50,000, in no hostile spirit, it could be done. He did not think the salaries should bo reduced, but the numbor of officials should bo, He said that Mr Swansoo had struck the general feelings of this House He believed four-fifths of tho members would support his proposal, and Ministers would notjregarrl It as a hostile motion. Mr Turnbtjll said there were" 10,010 poople in tho employ of Government, and he thought a large redaction might ba mado.

Mr FISH followed In the same strain, and again moved that the House re port progress, Ho said it was useless for them to movo that the vote be reduced as Government had said that no reductions could be made. If they moved, for lustarcc, that the £50,000 for tho Hinemoa be struck: out, Ministers would say that it was part of their policy, and their majority would follow tbem into the lobbies. He referred to several votes on which a reduction could be made, and asserted that tho vote for architects' branch should bo struck out, as the work could be better and cheaper done by commission. He failed to see tho use of that branch, as when a small addition was required for tho Parliamentary Buildings, the work had to be given to an outside architect. He suggested that a vote for each department should bo passed in globo, Major ATKINSON hoped the House would listen to any remark any member mtjjht hav6 to make, and if it could be shown that a reduction were practicable, the Government would be willing to accept any amendrrent tho Committee might be pleased to make, Mr Sdtton accused members of fho Opposition of filling the Order Paper with reques's for works. Mr George said the reason why Minis. tetial supporters did not put requests on the paper was because they got all they re quired. Mr Fish pointed out that a reduction could be effected by striking out the vote for £100 for Chairman of Native Affairs Committee (Col. Trimble), also the vote of £100 for tho Chairman of Petitions Committee.

Col, TRIMBLE said it did not matter two penco to him whether they knocked off the £100 from the Chairman of Nativo Affair?. He had not got it for two sessims, font be had not gone whining round the lobbies for it to be voted.

Mr Bathcute referrod to the alleged in crease of expenditure in the administration

of the colony, and said the fabulous growth j of the famous stalk ot Jack the Giantkiiler ; was nothing compared to the great silent creeping growth in the expenses ot thecolony. j £2,000,000 were required to govern 500,000 I people, and there had been an increase ot a quarter of a million within the last two yeais. Where would it end 1 Major Atkinson denied that thcro was a»y Buch increase as that represented, and in support of his refutation, referred Mr Bathgate to page 12 of the Financial State ment. The increase of expenditure had not begun, and therefore he was not prepared to say when it would end. So long as the present Gevemment remained in office it would not begin. Sir Georok Grey asked how it was that the name of overy Civil servant, together with the salary he earned, was not printed and published for the information of members. Then they would see how the money of the psople was spent. Col, Trimble thought Sir George Grey should be the last man in the world to talk about the way in which the money of people was spent, seeing that he was a j pensioner on the down-trodden people of Biitain.

Mr ROI.LESTON produced a ptinted list of persons employed in the Civil Service, and said if Sir George Orey wanted any further information he could have it. He accused Sir George Grey, while in power, of recoin. mending the Governor to refuse his assent to tbe Land Bill aftei the Act bad passed the third readiDg. Sir George Grey made a general attack on tbe Government for giidironiog, and asked why did not Mr Rolleston produce the Doomsday Book ? He said that mil lions yet unborn would grieve over Mr Rolleston's administration of the waste lands of Canterbury. Mr HOLLHSTON teplied with a telling attack on Sir George Grey's administra tion.

Mr Fish defended Sir George Grey from tbe attacks of Mr Rollesto*, aod said that a huge and colossal statue of Sir George Grey would yet be raised iv men's minds, before which those of prestnt Ministers wo ild be but dwarfed nigmies,. Mr Tuenboll said lie had Just heard tho true story of Ihe leasonwhy Sir George Grey had taken steps to prevent the. Land Bill passing. The Southland and Canterbury members had coalesced to get a clause inserted in the measure, but Can. terburv numbers, after gotting what they wanted, treacherously walked out of the House and left Southlanders to fight out tin matter themselves. Under these circum stances, he held that Sir George Grey die quite right in adopting the course he cid.

At tie eveningiltting Mr DICK resumed the debate onllSr Swanson's motion to ge into Committee of Supply, Ho said it was utterly impossible to reduce the salaries Id the deptnrtmentuuderhficentrol, Thessla ries of the Postal and T.legraph Department were poor and miserable ; too small, when the responsibility of the officials was taken into con-ideration. MrTURMBOLLsaid £50,000 might h«v» been saved in the Public Works Depart ment had Mr Wright bsen appointed Minis ter for Railways last session, Mr GBKKN spoke against the proposal that the Chairman leave the ohair, and saio that while he approved of consolidating and lessening the number of Civil servants, he would oppose the proposal to make such a sweeping reduction of £50,000. Mr Fuzoebald said that the motion was practically ono of want of conn dance. (No, no.) If such a slap in the face was administered to Ministers they would at once resign (Major Atkusos " Hear, hear.") He felt sure that though the majority of tbe House felt that tbe re duction was necessary, they would stand by the Government on this matter and wab umil tbe Colonial Treasurer had carried out the promise made in the Financial State ment to appoint a commission to report on tho reorganising of the Civil Service. Hi thought they could not do worse that sat into the minds of civil servant that they were not permanent. Civil ser vants should be even bettor paid than merchants, clerks of same length of service. He pointed out that a man alter spending several yeais iv a Go'OCament office, or Resident Magistrte'a office, was not able to take up a position in a mer chant's office. He considered that Parlia m. Nt did a foolish thing when they abolished the petition system. He asserted that at the time of the 10 per cent, reduction many of the worst paid CivU servants had to give up their life insurance policies. Ho blamed tbe people of the colony tor the size of the Service. There was not a hamlet in the colony where there was not a cry for a telegraph of post office it was all very well to say : " Take back your Estimates and knock £50,000 oil tbem j" out it could not be done. Mr George ssid they were told that the carrying of a motion to report progress was oquivale it to a vote of want of confidence, He did think it was a vote of want of con fidence. He was sure Mr Swanson did not want the Government to re-cast the Esti mates. It bad been said that no redu<r"**? could be made, but he thought be ct" 1 "ST* whern some reduction could.^-? "^.J"* \ ff 4 ue»Uon of the expen- «the AisemMy would surely be o«iiide.ed, and £6,000 e-uld be savoJ t>y making no provision for payment of tt*e expenses of members of tbe Upper House. The Armed .^•tabnte, might be dispensed with In 10 towns at least, as th« country was quiet. He p.inted o«« «nat the Government ci fl ,ks worked f~m ten ,0 the morning tul four In the »«ernoon, and ho thought that it th«> v «rked an hour longer considerable reduc tion in the number could be made. Mr SUTTON twitted members wilh in tending to increase their honorarium to £300. Mr HOBDs was not prepared to suppirt the resolution tabled on the spur of the va< Oent and with inconsistency on the face of it. There they were in a chamber with two sets of lights burning. »et tbem look round and see the lavish expenditure everywhere. Then there w«s the motion the other day to annex the Islands of the Pacific Did that look like poverty t Although he was not pre* pared to speak about Wellington, he knew that in Auckland district the Civil servants were underpaid. It wts useless for the Opposition to my this was not a want of confidence motion. They regarded It so, and their ill-concealed mirth had shown It. If they had been wise they would not have spoken, but should hate drawn on Govern, ment supporters. The carrying of the motion would put other men on these benches, and the gentlemen opposite had been long ago weighed In the balance, and found wanting, Mr Swan son had before made and unmade the Ministry, and he hoped he would not press tho matter to an issue. Mr SWANSON, who was cheered on ris ing, said he was not against the Civil Ser vice, but there were votes connected with the Houses themselves and museums that could be cut down. He did not believe in '* falde-lsls " of Government and playing at science. He was not one to reduce salaries but he liked to see good men In the S-rvice, and to see them well worked. His men wore always well paid j Indeed, it had been a matter of complaint among his neighbours that he paid them too well. Ho might remark that it wns not for his political abilities that he was sent to Parliament,—it was because he was liked, and ho did not go for low salaries. He moved the motion because he was sure that Ministers could make the re duction if they liked. The House divided on the motion to re* port progress, a yes, 34} noes, 43. The vote for the Colonial Secretary s Office, £1,939, was passed, when Mr JOYCE said that in face of tbe motion just carried, it was useles ito go through the Estimates'., and he suggested that the whole of the Estimates bo passed with discussion on each vote. From 1.30 to 2.30 Messrs Fish, Skddon, and Greer occupied the time, Messrs Fish and Green exchanging personalities. At 2,30 there were signs of the mild " stone wall " collapsing, and a few minutes latar the Opposition made an unconditional surrender, allowing the motion to report progress to bo negatived on the voices, Mr Holmes deferentially hoped that the Government would only pass a few votes and ollow progress to be reported. Votes for Premier's Office, £450; Colonial Secretary's Office. £1,895 } Messengers' and Office-keepers, £3,370; Electoral Depart ment, £2,955; Audit Office, £9,170. In vote for Registrar-Generals' Department, £8 819. Considerable discussion ensued over the items of £325 for Registrar of Births, Auckland, and £177 for Deputy-Registrar of Births, a motion being made to reduce the former by £35. The vote, however, was passed as printed. Geological and Meteorological Depart ment, £640. Mr Barron moved that the vote be re duced by £150, Mr Joyce supported the reductions, and Messrs Petrie and G.obgk spoko in terms of praise _of tho labour of the department. A division was called and the vote Was sustained as printed by 32 to 7. Agent-Gencral.n department, £3,500. In reply to Mr George, Mr DICK said that there was no truth in the report tha: Sir F,

Pillon Bell had sent in his resignation Vote passed,

Charitable and Hospitals £86,200, viz Hospitals, £60,200, Charitable Institutions' 136,000. '

At this stage, 4 a,m,, Mr George tue. jested that Major Atkinson should en. lighten them as to his life insurance scheme und Mr Barron also urged this on the Colonial Treasurer.

Major Atkinson declined, giving as reason that it would give rise to a Barron discussion. He intimated that they would proceed with debate. Mr Dslautouk urged government to allow committee to report progress, but Major Atkinson was inexovable. Col. Trimble relieved Mr Hamlin in the chair.

Mr DkLA.UTOUR moved that the item of £200 for inspector of hospitals be euruck oat, Mr Turnbull produced a hospital report and proceeded to read it to the Home.

Major Atkinson asked the Chairman's ruling as to whether Mr Turnbull had a right to read a document to the Committee. The Chairman declined to give a decision.' Mr Turnbull, however, got over the difficulty by speaking on eveiything gen. oral and hospitals in particular, quoting' meanwhile from the report.

At 5 o'clock the committee divided on Mr DeLautour's motion, which was lost by 21 to 10. Mr Turnbull again appealed to the Ministry to allow the committee to leport progress, but Ministers took no rotlce whereupon the member for Timaru pro ceeded to give his reasons why the com. miiteo should report progress. Messrs Joyce and Bake on pressed on the Government that progress should be reported. The Ministry gave no sign, whereupon Mr Turnbull threatened to en« deivour to reduce the next vote pound by pound. The question that the committee adjourn was then put to the committee. Ayeß, 7; ntes, 27.

The consideration of the vote of £50,000 for Hospitals was then proceeded witb. Mr Fkldwick, who was fortified with an enormous portfolio, moved that tbe vote be reduced by £10,000, and proceeded to speak on the question. After him followed Messrs TURNBULL and Fish, then Messrs Fkldwick and Turn bull, when the Committee divided—

lyes, 3 ; noes, 25. Mr TuaNBULL moved that the vote be* reduced by £5,000, and called for a division at 6.30. but on the Chairrnau again putting it, allowed it to go on the voices, and then the £50,000 was allowed to pass, and tbe whole voie of £86,200 was passed. The next vote was Lonatic Asylums. £3,674.

Mr Wh yte spoke on the great disparity between salaries paid at several asylums, and the disparity between salaries ot war* ders at gaols and asylum attendants. Mr Dick promised to consider the natter, and the vote passed.

Printing and stationery vote, £20517! stock branch, £23,650, passed as printed; miscellaneous services, £22,068.

0«e item under this head for importation of fish ora gave rise to some discussion, Mr O'C<LLA.aHiN moving that it be struck out.

Mr Dick said he would not object to the Item being struck out, whereupon Mr rfrjßSr, who was as lively as a cricket, made as amusing sally. He said Mr DICK had had so much of " fish " early In the debate, thathe wanted to get rid of it now. The Committee divided -Ayes, 13; noes, 16; Rem retained. The vote was then passtd. On the motion of Mr Dick, the resolu. tions wsre reported, and the House ad journed till 7.30 p.m. on Monday. The House rose at 7.25 this morning.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

AT the meeting of tbe Board of Educa* tion yesterday afternoon, the completion ot the roll stating the religion of teachers was deferred till the return of Messrs Most and Hobbf.—The following resolutions ia reference to the scholarships question were agreed to on the motion of tin Chiirman : That as a reply to Mr Dai Seville's telegram, this Board resolve— (1) That they are satisfied that the Board of Governors hare not only the power but also the inclination to grant free tuition to (cholsrs from the primary schools who may now or hereafter hold district scholar. shipj, but at tbe same time consider that the Government, at the first convenient opportunity, should secure snch legislation as will give the right to the Board to claim free tuition at the Grammar School for all primary school scholars who may not hold district scholarships, and that there should be no alteration in the 51st section of the Education Act in re-pect of the competency of pupils to gain suchscholarships-^,, p '*|° a? in respect of the constilujiog^^j -iSSfcSS? "* '^fione-B second's™ in sS'6,lra5 S'6,lra -1 itß management *? *£2Je°condncted by tbe Board ol Bd*. joilon, in order that primary and secondary education should be harmoniously and con* sis tent ly conducted. But, if. for any reason this may be found to be not now practicable. the Governors of the school, endowed witH the property of the people, should be elected solely by the people, and that, therefore, the most advantageous plan would appear to he that the educational electees of the people, namely, the members of the Board of Kducation.should solely elect the Uover* nors of the Grammar School. It was also agreed that the resolution be forwarded to Auckland members. —Mr Wood was elected assistant master of the Girls' Bieh School. The High-street entrance to till schojl was ordered to be nailed np, and right-of-way from back provided.—The question of building new school was de ferred.
