and the business of the country would hnvo been proccailod with. Tlio elections wo:i'<l li.ivo taken place in December or January, and not at an inopportune time like the present. Mnch expense v.culd also havo been saved to tho country. Jn connection with tlio disKolittion, n great dual lmd been said about tlio lionorarimn. Now, if the paymont to members were abolished, the effect would bo to confine their representatives to a very few nion. II was not right to ca'l it an hono rarium, an it was a payment for services during tho year. Country members especially worked as hard during the recess as in the session. Payments should be annual, and made monthly ; and it appeared to him that it would bo well if members were paid monthly, tlio saino as the Speaker of the House and the Chairman of Committees. It was his intention, if elected, lo support tlio bill to bo introduced next session by Sir (ioorge Groy, providing that members of tlio lust Jlou.°e who arc re-elected .should be paid a smaller sum for their ForvicoHnexfc session limn now members. lie would now refer lo his reasons for opposing the Govern ment, which ho might describe as n Covcrnmoiit of lads. They all hud fads. First, thero was the iMinistsr for Lands, whose fad was for the perpetual leasing of lands. Ho wanted lo nationalise tho luiirl—purchasing it brick from the pre sent owners. Whore lie would get tho money with which to curry out tho scheme ITcnvon only know. The ma jority of colonists, when they left the old country, were tired of the system of leasing property, and wished to possess a piece of land of their own. If the reform referred to were carried into effect, it would prevent many desirable people from coming to tho colony. Tlio clasn ho referred to consisted of small farmers with several hundreds of pounds in their pocketA Then again Mr Uollu.slon made a great deal out of his system of selling hind, but he could notf.ee that there was much to ad mire in it. In fact, ho objected to the present system of selling land. Many of thoao in tho auction rooms became ex cited while tho bidding was going on, and ran the lots up to prices which they could never hope- to pay. J)e thought the Government should lix a fair selling price, and if there was competition for any of the blocks, the applicants should be allowed to ballot. He would now say a few words about native [matters. While there was much to admire in Mr Bryco, he, too, had his fads, and his policy was often characterised with injustice. Ho remem bered the rebellion of fifteen or sixteen years ago, known as tho Poverty Bay mass aero, ilo also remembered a few weeksaftcr it, seeing lifty or sixty native?, under Major Hjp;ita, taken through tho streets of Napior, and Kereopa, who was charged with the murder of Mr Volkner, was exe cuted. At that time, when tho European population was small, we were grateful for the services of tho friendly natives. Then we saw Ma or Kopata hunting To Kooti through the bush. Time went on, and we found To Kootipardoned and presented with a valuable grant of land, while at tho same time, Ropata, who had assisted us against the rebels, had his pension reduced from £."iOO to £100. This wuh an injustice, lor on tho one band we pardoned a murderer, and on the oilier wronged a man who assisted uh against him. These things «ere calculated to excite distrust in the imlivo mind. Then again, there was the 1-n.io of thi- natives who came from the North to protect us from attack, and they also had their pensions taken oil. Further, ho could not agree with Mr Jlryee altogether in his native land policy. The system of land-jobbing that bad so long been carried on had been detrimental to the colony, and while any measure that would be calculated to put a stop to it was desir able, ho could not| support the resumption of prc-oniptive right over native lands. He was opposed to the \Va*te Lands Hoards, which wen' irresponsible bodies, and, a.i in tho C'ise of the gum leases the other day, sometimes did what they knew to* be wrong. He would either make these boards elective or hold the Minister of Lands responsible. Then again there ve'w tho Premier, and he had a fad, which was national insurance. Major Atkinson wanted to tax the people of the colony in this direction to the extent of MIOO.OOO per annum more tlmn at present. lie was opposed to this scheme, and also to tho present (Jovernment Insurance system. lie did not sec why the Government should compoto with public companies in this branch of trade. He was opposed to federation, vvliii'h would lead to the introduc tion of coloured population, who, if allowed vote.", might overrule the European votes in tho Federal Council, while if they w.rc not allowed votes, would remain slaves, and this, 1 o know, would not be tolerated by British colonists. It was said that the land ing of Fn-iicli convicts on our shores would thus be prevented, but he asked if wo co\ 11 not bet tor secure on rol j .'cts by passing acts and getting tho neighbouring colonies to ai'rcc with tlioin. In tho event of war, the imvy would be called to pro'-iCt that portion of the colonies which had the greatest representation in the Federal Council, We would always be bettir oil as a free colony standing alone than as a dependency of Australia. A great denl of attention was being paid to tho great dividing- question, property v. land tax. He did not believe in the pro porty tax, but was in favour of a land tax. Tho property tax interfered with the establishment and prosecution of local in dustries, and was unfair in many respect*. For instance, ono man invested his money in land and improved it. Ho was taxed both for (die orjgiiia) value and for the improvements. Another man bought land and allowed it to lie unimproved. He was only taxed on the original value, while he protited by the " unearned increment" arising from his neighbours' improvements. Wo were now losing nearly a quarter of a million per annum on our railways. These railways had increased the value of land, and it was only fair that tho land which had thus boon improved in value should bo taxed to moot part of tho out lay, Tho abolition of the property tax would load to the fostering of manu factories which would bo of groat import anco to tho future of tho colony. Ho thought a great deal moro could be mado out of the railways than is being mado at present, and considered that it would bo botter if they were removed from the con trol of tho Government. Ho was at ono time inclined to tho opinion that there should bo two railway boards, ono for each island, but then it occurred to him that if tho railways in tho North woro not paying, pcoplo in tho South would say, make the railwaysinthe other island pay, Tho thought struck him that it v.ould then bo for them to say, "Complete tho trunk lines in tho North as well as in the South." There had been great injustice in the paymont of rail way officials, those in the South gottinsr one shilling per day more than tho men in the North. Tlio speaker proceeded to point out that tho Civil Service retrench ment about which so much was said now should havo been' carried out two years ago, and attacked tho pro posal to disfranchise civil servants. Ho would like to say a few words about tho financial position of the colony, it was said two years ago that there was a surplus of £H5,000, but there was really a deficit. The Government had commenced tho year with £HiS,OOO balance from tho previous year, and consequently, as there had only been a balance of ±'35,(.00 at the conclusion of tho twelve months, tho stato ment really showed a sorious deficit. Again, last year it was really a fact that there had been a loss of £157,0U0 on tho year's opera tions. And yet the Premier told them that thoro was no necessity for further taxa tion, Tho speaker referred at groat length to tho financial position of tho colony, and then proceeded to touch upon its foreign trade. Ho said the imports exceeded the exports by £9,000, but as a rule tho exports were valued hove and often brought moro than tho estimate when they reached England. Therefore, tho difference was not so great. Tho imports and exports woro drawing nearer toycthor, and this was due to the incrcaso of local manufactures, Vot, tlipy svpro sending away three millions a year to the foreign bondholders, while another two millions had lo be raised to moot the Civil Service expen diture. Major Atkinson told them that :>,U .tlioy had out of tho public works fund was £G75,000, and this was to carry us on till March next. Allowing £!)0,000 a month for a period of ton months, they would require £900,000 to cover tho expenditure till March next, thus leaving a deficit of £222,000, Adding this to the £400,000 treasury bills, which would re quire to be met out, of the next loan, and tho £200,000 liability for rolling stock which had recently been incurred, bosidos tho £150,000 deficit of last year, there would consequently bo a deficit of more than a million to deduct from the loan. Ho con^ sidored it was our duty to foster local indus. tries and encourage trade, and believed that wo would have to go in for further borrow ing,in order to adjust our finances. He was in favour of tho construction of tho main trunk line between Auckland and Taranaki, which the Opposition were accused of delaying by their action. That line, he doclared, was in no danger, all parties in the House having expressed approval of its construc tion. Whoever waa Premier, and whoever

formed the .Ministry, that lino would be amonpst the no::t financial proposals pre sented to the House. Ho wa9 in favour of 1 lie shortest route to Tarnnaki, which would open some portion of good land, and did not believe in the central route, which passed through barren pumice stone land. I Icwou hi supiort the mostdirect route which he considered to be the Stratford one. The elections were now about to tako place, and it was probable that several of the Min isters would not be-re-elect 3d. • Another, Mr Dick, had, it was reported, expressed the possibility that in the next session he would not be found following the lead of the present party. Now, it was more than probable that Sir Julius Vogel would be returned with a strong following of Southern members. Sir Goorge Grey and Major Atkinson were divided on the one point of the property tax, but in this event probably Major Atkinson might be induced to give way, and then a strong coalition Ministry could be formed. In conclusion, Mr George said he would, if olccted, do all in his power that the electors should not have any cause to regret their selection. The candidate resumed his seat amidst loud applause. In reply to questions Mr Gkoriie said : — (I) He was opposed to the enactment of blasphemy laws in tltis country. (2) He un derstood this was a free country, and ho thought people should have the right to think as they pleased on religious matters. (:i) if it could bo shown to him that the placing of a duty on baulk timber would lead to the sawing of more timber, he would volo for an export duty on baulk. After consideration he hud como to the conclusion that he was in favour of such duty. (4) He would do all in his power to have a vote of L2,(X)O placed on the estimates for division amongst horticultural societies to enable them to introduce new plants suitable to the climate, and to encourage local indus tries pertaining to horticulture and torestry. {')) He would be in favour of widows and families being allowed to carry out the provisions of the Homestead Act, and obtain the Crown grant which should have gone to a deceased lather. That was, so long as no will was left. (0) He did not know that the Grey Government had put a duty on island produce. (7) His reason for oppos ing Mr Moss was that he was a young man, and was a-nLitioua. He was about to reside with them, and was ambitious to represent the people ho lived with. (8) Being an Aucklander, of course he was in favour of the 'Frisco Mail Service, and would do all he could to maintain it. (9) Jlo and Mr Moss did probably agree on political principles. Tho difference between them was that ho supported the party that went in for those principles, while Mr Moss did not. [Mr Wood, who asked this ques tion, also inquired why Mr George left Kod ney. His query was, however, greeted with howls, hisses, and groans, and it was some- time before he could make himself heard.] (10) Ho did not think Mr Moat would get in for Rodney. (11) He believed that at tho present time we had the best educational system in the world —free, secular, and compulsory. But lie thought we had been extravagant. He thought socondary education should bo mado self-supporting, and that the .Southern educational reeervss should go into the general fund. (12) If re-elected, he would do all in his power to get a bill pa--ed to make tlie payments annually—s-o much per lhonth —and ho would also gup port a measure that Sir Goorge Grey said lie would introduce providing that members going back again should be paid a smaller amount. (13) All raw material that we cannot produce here should come in free.

An exciting scene occurred at this, stage. A garrulous individual mounted the platform, and devoted a quarter of an hour to a cp.cch introducing a ques tion. It transpired that he was not an elector of the district, and as he would not tome to the point, a man stepped forward from the wings and proceeded to " chuck him off." The anxious inquirer would noi budgo, however, and in another moment tliu astonished audience witnessed the un seemly but amusing spectacle of the two men sparring at each other on the plat form.

Friends?, however, interfered, and peace \\;in restored with tome difficulty.

The speaker then naked if Mr George would under any circumstances abandon Sir l.eorge Grey and follow Sir Julius Yogel, and was answered in the negative. In reply to other questions, Mr George explained lii.s action in reference to the North Island Trunk Railway Bill two years ngo. He thought the present system of ap pointing J, I*. 'p was bad. Many were selected who should not be appointed, and the roll should be purged. He thought the grand juries were not much good, and should be doneawaywith. If the railwayetnployt-shere were being dismissed and replaced by mon from the South, an injustice was being done, and would soon bo rectified. The question of charitable aid would require attention, and he thought that reserves should be set aside now for these purposos. He believed in ei<;ht hours work and eight hours pay, and would sup[K>rt the Eight Hours Bill.

Mr Gilhekt moved a voto of thanks to Mr George for his address, and contidence in him as a tit and proper person to repre sent this constituency in Parliament. Mr TlluKnußN seconded the motion. About a dozen hands were held upagainst tho motion, which was carried by a large majority, nearly every person present voting for it. Mr George returned thanks, and the meeting concluded with a vote of thanks to tho Chairman and cheers for Sir George Grey.

MR A. O'NEII. AND THE ELECTORS OF EDEN.

Mr Allan O'Neill delivered a political address to the electors of Eden last evening in St. Sepulchre's School-room. The chair \v;is occupied by Mr Kelly, of Mount Eden, who said he had much pleasure in in troducing Mr O'Neill, and aa ho was a young colonial, he hoped the meeting would give him a patient hearing, Mr O'Neill «aid he was happy to meet the electors once more, and he must consider himself as their guest, and hoped they would take care of him. Ho had not so largo an audience as ho could have wished, but under the circumstances, and in the face of numerous counter attrac tions, it was as largo as could bo expected. The speaker said they had three candidates in the field—even four, if Mr Mullally came forward. They were men of all sizes, from Mr Atkin down to himself. They also differed in their poli tical views. Their late momber {Mr Tolo) was a Greylto. Mr Atkin followed no man ; consequently lie was an Independent. Ho (Mr O'Neill) was a Ministerialist; and the renowned Mull ally, a capitalist. The speaker then gave a resumo of his political views to which ho had previously given expression, and recommended electors to consider well tho present political situation, before giving their vote. Those who voted with tho Opposition will have to justify that vote to their constituencies. The interests of tho North had been prejudiced by the recent vote of no confidence. If the Oppositionists had waited until the Minister for Public Works had brought down his statement, they would have beon in tho right, but by their action they transgressed the acknowledged boundary of Parliamentary tactics. Every true Auck land member should haveconsidored the fate of tho North Island trunk railway before voting on the motion of want of confidence. He considered it the duty of all tho electors of the North Island who hacl their own in terests at heart to support the Atkin son Ministry, With respect to the Education Aot, which was a credit to tho colony, be would urge that ovory candidate should be pressed for his candid opinion thereon. The Licensing Act and local option should kave a fair trial —that was already in the hands of the people, If returned, ho would advocate retrenchment, and commence with himself : he would reduco the honorarium, to £100 por annum. There should bo some payment of members, otherwise the poor man would be excluded from, the House, (Cheers). Ho consiclored, however, that the Govern ment should commence by reducing the big salaries, not the small ones. He did not favour tho idea of separation of the North and South Islands. If Major Atkinson and Sir Julius Vogel formed a coalition in the next Parliament, as was probable, no North Island member should support that coalition unless he had a guarantee that tho North Island trunk railway would bo proceeded with at oiioo. Ho was afraid a Min istry with Sir Julius Vogel at its head would go in for too much borrowing Touching free immigration, he would be in favour of stopping it for a time until there was a demand for it. He had friends at Home who wished to come out to this country if he would assist them, but ho preferred thoiv room to their company. He was favourable to free immigration on a limited scale. Only two questions were aoked at the close of the mooting. t One was, would Sir Julius Vogol construct a railway from Christ ohurch to Hokitika if in power. The reply was, he oould not tell. The other question by James Nehon was answered. There is no likelihood of a coalition between Sir George Greyand Major Atkinson(Laughter.) A vote of thanks was carried by acclama tion to Mr O'Neil for his address.

Year of Jubilee! Advent of Political Comet for Parnell!

(To tho Editor.)

"Safjo ho stood With Allantean shoulders lit to boar The weight of mightiest monarchies." Sin,—Knowing full well that momentous matters must necessarily engage the atten tion oi our legislators in the coining I'arliu raent, I read with feelings of ineffable pleasure tho announcement in your valuable paper that Mr Fitzgerald was likely to offer himself as a candidate for tho suffrages of the enlightened and aristocratic electors of I'arnell. There are spots on earth invested with extraordinary interest, there are scenes once beheld never to be obliterated from the mental vision, there are mejnories and associations never to be consigned to the tomb of the Capulots, and there are surprises and joys which language as a vehicle is too frail to convey in the intensity of its rapture. Such was my experience when the welcome and blissful tidings to which I have alluded were made known to me. I had just returned from a ride drenched with rain; but this discom! fort disappeared like the morning mists when kissed away by the solar rays. The joy was intense, wave after wave of sen sational pleasure rolling through thechamter of my imagination. I repeated Mr I<it z . Gerald ! the coming man .' the saviour of his country! the man ! the only man ! the tried man ! the tried and proven man ! tho right man ! the right man in the right place! Graceful in person, courteous in demeanour, polite at all times; an embodi ment of Lord Chesterfield's gentleman. In speech, eloquent; in style, lofty ;in diction elegant; in pluck and courage (whether moral or physical), a veritable Trojan. In judgment sound, in temper equablo, in imagination lively, in wit sparkling, and in all-round accomplishments such "a man we ne'er shall look upon his like again." If re turned to the House, this heaven-born statjs man would be found a wise logician, an able reasonor, and as a committee man and tactician unsurpassed, being able to see his point and stick to it. And the hilarious joy quivered like an electric shock through every fibre of my mental constitution. My friends tell me that since my recent bereave ment (I allude to the death of my Cardinal) my brain has been affected.

There is no doubt of it—horse lost, braina lost, coin lost, spirits lost (Moored away)

" My robe and my integrity in heaven Is all I dare now call my own," and my head is now more remarkable for the hair on it than the brains in it. I much regret that the "mighty are fallen," but with the wreck which still remains of that which was once potential, if not colossal, I will gladly lay all under .contribution to further the candidature of Mr Fitzgerald, the hero of the bottle, for I believe the hour is come, and the man is come. I have known him for about 20 years. He hag a know ledge of his duties, and has discharged them with industry and fidelity, boing constant in season and out of season, ana I am of opinion that the bottle season is on in Auck land and its environs nearly all the year round. I may odd that if Jlr Fitzgerald will come forward and address the electors at the Parnell Hall, I will guarantee him a full house and a fair hearing. The Chair man, in his conduct, shall afford a striking antithesis to the one who oiiiciated when Mr Moss came before his constituents, If he cannot maintain order he shall bo com pelled to vacate the chair, and 1 am sure he will not imitate the laudable example of the said worthy in going round to the burgesses in order to bug of them to move a vote of thanks. In Mr Fitzgerald* case it will be a spontaneous emanation, and will fairly represent the high feeling of onthusiasm which fills to the brim the minds of the electors. N.B.— In the event of Mr Fitz gerald's being returned : Firstly—He will not tako a double honorarium. Secondly —He will not ride into the House on a Grey horse, and tien vote dead against him. Thirdly— AVhen any division has to be taken he will fairly record his vote, having travellod beyond the age whon it is convenient for a man to sit astride a rail. Fourthly—Should Vogelget into power and attempt his borrowing schemes, he will vote dead against him. Fifthly-Should this wandering Jew at tempt to bribe him, Mr Fitzgerald will give Inmate and a return ticket to Falmouth* Sixthly—He will undertake to obtain a station for Parnell, this being the most populous place on the lino between AuckJ land and the terminus. Seventhly—He is in favour of the trunk line of railway ; there being three routes proposed, he will go dead for the West Coast. This will open up a large bottle trade. Eighthly-He is in favour of a station in Queen-slreet. becoming the queenly dignity of our fair Auckland city. Ninthly—He will go in for protection of all local industries and manufactures, especially that of the bottle trade. Lastly— On the licensing question, the present system of education, on the (!overnmei.J) pre-emptive right over native lands, on the gum leases, and on the 'Frisco •;mce, he will speak exhaustively when" he confronts his constituents, I may, however, state that he has determined to bring in a Bill for the abolition of the Uppor House, which ho considers, like grand juries, to be a useless excrescence^" and similar to the top story of Clark's warehouse, being more ornamental than usual—but not much of either, for

11 Pigmios are pigmies still, though perched on Alps, And pyramids are pyramids in vales."
