Auckland v. the South.

(To the Editor.)

Sin, —A word or two in relation to how Aucklaud interests are cared for in Wel lington may not bo uninteresting to your readers. I went to Wellington in company with another gentleman to obtain, if pos sible, the canstruction of a line of railway from Kamo to Kawakawa to develop a country rich in coal, timber, and other wealth — resource?, in short, which have been the mainstay of Auckland's progress and prosperity. And let me premise these remarks by stating that our mission to Wellington was entirely successful, so that readers will understand that I am not writing as a disappointed individual, or as one having been crossed in his purpose. The point 1 desire to rivet the attention of your readers to ia this :—Are the Auckland members acting judiciously under present circumstances ? Now, it is a fact beyond all question that Vogel has "squared" a majority of the House. It may sound a somewhat broad manner of expressing a fact, but it is just as well to call a spade a spade. It is well-known in Wellington that the position of affairs is this : Thnt the policy bills of the Government involve indirectly and directly a colonial liability to the extent of fat millions ; that these bills furnish over 40 paid ofticee, which the Go vernment of the day can give to members of Parliament; that the Government sup porters have to support the whole of these measures in one gulp, or the lot will be re linquished ; and, in shott, that the Govern ment have by dexterous—or whatever you may choo.«o to call it—manreuvriug absolutely fixed a majority in concrete. That majority is incontrovertible at the pre sent time. The Opposition is smashed up and thoroughly demoralised. 1 am not speaking as a partisan, but merely as an observer of fact.". As a matter of tact, no one probably regrets more sincerely than I dtk the political chaos that reigns supreme in our capital -the huge avalanche that we are enticing to smother us. But if we are to bo hlaughtered, it may as well be fora sheep oh a lamb, and what is food for the gander should be suuee for the goose. In other words, the colony is committed by these policy billsto gigantic operations, involving Si millions of money, only an infini tesimal portion of which benefits this province, and the Auckland members either stand committed to them. from "personal" causes, or stand aloof watching the burglary with a want of cour age and decision that can only be ascribed to an absence of comprehension or to rank stupidity. For instance, the East and West Coast Railway Bill proposes to give to a syndicate 50 per cent, of land on the actual cost of the line, which coat is estimated by experts at from £20,000 to £25,000 per milo, or five times the average cost. The line would coat about two mil lions, and would absorb the whole of the Crown lands of Canterbury and Westland, and the most cogent arguments used in sup port of this line were these : That it would supply Canterbury with coal, the consump tion of which was estimated—and that ex travagantly—at 100,000 tons per annum ; with timber, estimated on the same basis, at 15,000,009 feet per annum ; would enable the West Coast to obtain cheap supplies of farm produce from Canterbury for its 25,000 people; and finally would induce tourists and others with capital to visit the West Con? t—a district which Mr Seddon said was very picturesque, and much in need of foreign capital to develop its wealth. Theso wwo the strongest arguments tliat could be adduced in favour of the colony Carting with a . million pounds worth of md. In Mr Seddon's allusion to the picturesqueness of the Southern Alps is probably to bo found tho strongest argu munt in favour of this lino. His other allusion to the want of foreign capital is too thin, as it goes without demonstration that no capital can bo utilised where there are no industries to develop ; and without being toe rough on the West Coast, it ia only necoFsary to remark that while it has pro duced tho most gold, the most has nl«o been gunk there; and while the popnlation was at ono time 100,000, it ia only now 25,000 Then, to ensure ample facilities to get out tho coal from the West Coast, it is proposed further to hand over the whole of the rents accruing from the Government railways, coal areaß, wharves, &c., on the XVett Coast, to enable the Harbour Boards at Hokitika and Westport to borrow sufficient money to build Eueh harbour works as would permit of large vessels getting in and out of those places. That proposal means handing a property worth three-quarters of a million over to the Harbour Board. Whether these gigantic proposals are expedient or other wise, need not be discussed here. The fact that the proposal? are now be fore tho House, and have the sup port of a majority of the House, is all that need be stated for my purpose. Unlike our Auckland representatives, the j Southerners, when they have a subject in hand, unite into a compact body, and every man g&ta up in the House and talks to the question with an earnestness that ie quite refreshing. Many of them fire up with the spirit of indignation, and recount how their district has been robbed at the publio expense and trammelled is a manner that make honest men blush. And the best of it is, some of these Southern men really believe what they are paying, and what is worse, many Auckland. men think they (the Southerners) are not only in earnest, but are, speaking facts. When all these proposals Were brought down., the Auoklana men seemed to Have become dazed, for instead of recognising the inevitable, and making an attempt to get into the "swim, they seem to have set up a futile cackle and threatened all sorts of bantam-like punish ments— even, too, after Major Atkinson had signified his intention of not opposing the following proposals. In connection, for instance, with the Kamo Kawakawa railway, when Messrs Hobbs, Thompson, and my self found thoro was little chance of get ting a money vote for the railway, we set about getting it on the East and West Coast Railway Bill j but strange to cay, though we could get Southern men to help us, Auckland men not only stood aloof, but even went so far as to tell members of the Government that we were trying to work a job. After we had extracted a promise from Government that tho railway should be made, Auckland men influenced Government to exclude the Fuhipuhi kauri forest from the operation of the bill. That would have meant strangling the scheme. And on what grounds was this j action justified ? That the forest was too valuable to bo given away in this manner. That is the action of Auckland members, and as a matter of public policy and patriotism it may be right, but as a matter of political expediency they pyove them selves to bo m,qat consummate idiots, in that the Southerners never allow such political niceties to stand in the way of their policy of grab. What about the Government handing over all their coal areas and railways on the West Coast for harbour works? Do wo hear Southerners denouncing that? And if Canterbury is willing to give up the whole of her Crown lands for the East and West Coast Railway —a railway which is looked upon by most practical men as something in the charac ter of a Quixotic design-surely it is not the interest of Auckland men to be so outrageously honeet in such a scramble I am prepare 1 to admit that most of the Auckland men may have been duped into tho positions they took in regard to this TOflt'tev by others whose ifytergpt It. wasi to obstruct the work ; and others, I know, stood aloof lest they should let slip the crumbs that were within their grasp, euph as the Chairmanship of the Squth Sea Bubble. &c. Had the Auckland men been loyal to thpjr public duties, I have no hesitation in saying that the north Auck land railway from Helensvillo to Ilokianga might have been scheduled with the East and West Coast railway, and as tho Qrown owiiß £2,000,000 worth of kauri forests north of Auckland, there would have been no dljjlculty (n gflttlng a syndicate to make that line. It is a most remarkable anomaly that while Canterbury is willing to part with the last remnant of her Crown lands, Auck land is jealous of parting with even a little block of 25,000 acres. Nodoubtthe Auckland members are fully cognisant of the fact that tho time will come when the South will not be able to pay for all the great y, o\%s that ai-oabout to be undertaken and with a view pf enobjiflg tho colony to meet its liabilities, the Auckland members are pow zealously guarding the landed estate of. this province to provide for these colonial bur dens, so that when we have parted with the last acre of land we shall be able tfl say, "We're poor, but honest,I'—J1 '—J a,m, &c., Geo.

The Art Exhibition.

(To the Editor.)

Sm,—ln a critique on the Art Exhibition, in which you kindly refer in very commen datory terms to my picture, "Among the Kauri," you remark that " the colouring is cold, and the warm sky fails to lend any glow to tho landscape." With your per» mission, I should like to give a few words of explanation anont that apparent anomaly. The scene is taken at sunrise, while tho view is from " the western «de of the range; consequently, there is no direct light anywhere except on the castle

peak, dQstant 2 miles, which catches the rosy hue of the rising sun. With that ex ception, all the rest of the light in the picture is the cold, pearly light of early morning diffused throughout tho bush, and marked by a total ab.-oncc of deep shadows. Tho apparent monotony of the green tints is duo u)fo to the same lack of direct light, and to nil being drenched with tho desv, and therefore exhibiting very little varia tio iin tint. To be sure, 1 could have made it a sunset scone, and bathed the whole in golden light, but 1 had never seen it at sunset, and was afraid of commit ting some local anachronism of colour by painting what I never saw—a course that would have answered for tho Society of Arts Exhibition (where pictures are judged only by art standards); but not for the exhibition of a Society whose works are, in addition, expected to display strictly local fidelity. In your critique, you condemn the mixing of oils and water-colours together on the same competitive platform, and, technically speaking, you are right. I am, however, pleased that it has been so in this instance, for it has furnished me with one more pruof of my favourite contention, i.e., that water - colour is now quite as permanent and quite as effective as oil if it is properly applied and properly treated. In proof thereof, I point to the fact thtt with judges of unimpeachable honesty, and equally unimpeachable standing in our com munity, more prizes, certificates, and medals have gone to water-colours than to oils in this Exhibition, notwithstanding the pre ponderance of oils in 6ii.e and number. This is all tho more pleasing to me, as the apparently contemptuous treatment of water-colours by the hanging committees of the Society of Arts for the last few years has very nearly killed colour in Auckland.—l am, &c,

Alfred Sharpe,

Opening Museums on Sundays.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —I think that before a person writes to the papers on a subject in which he feels interested he ehould at least thoroughly understand what he is writing about, and use sensible arguments for or against it. Some people are only too pleased to see their drivelling twaddle in print, and presump tuously assume that their ideas are those of the people. Such a person I take "New Churchman" to be. Ho is kind enough to inform you that he read my letter, and dis agrees with it in tolo; but he ovidently for gets, if he over intended, to use one single argument against museums being open on Sundays that has not already been brought before the public by abler pens than bis. Museums have been op»n for some time past in Wellington, Christchurch, and oven in Sawbath-loving Duna Jin, and other towns ; and no evil has arisen therefrom. On the contrary, the results have been satisfactory in the extreme. " New Churchman" thinks it is the thin edge of .the wedge that wLI eventually open theatres, &c, on Sundays. Let him be consistent, and remember that while the opening of the Museum would only involve the presence of a single attend ant, whose duty would simply be that of a custodian, there are scores of men who already work on Sundays in this beautiful city of Auckland, viz., on the ferry beats, the railway, the telegraph, and the printing office. The seneschal at the Museum would have no more onerous duties.to perform (indeed, not so much) than our church vergers, organists, elders, and money col lectors already have. I would refer "New Churchman" to the very able sub-leader that appeared in the Star of.Saturday last on opening museums on Sundays. He will thore read facts brought forward ia favour of museums being open on Sundays that he will find extremely hard: to digest, I can only conceive of unctuously holy snuiUe-buetors of the Brother Pinkweazhj type, Calvini«tic fossils, crack-brained bdli ness evangelists, and the rank and file vbf that tatterdemalion burlesque, the Salva tion Army, seeking to deny to the masses the innocent recioation, the enlarge ment of knowledge, and the improvo ment of mind which are to be derived from a visit to our Museum. Tho time has irrevocably passed by for compelling people by Act of Parliament on particular days tq forsake their homes, the pleasant fields, ths sylvian groves, tho refreshing margin of th» sea, and gather in fusty churches to listen to pulpit platitudes. So also is the tima rapidly speeding away when the mass of fh» people can be denied by interested W fanatical persons access to such harmless recreation as may be obtained from visits t« Eublic gardens, museums, art galleries, braries, and even to properly regulated. concerts. In conclusion, I beg to decline " New Churchman's " invitation to witness " ye little game of pitch and toss," as played on Sundays at Mount Eden. It was surely wrong for such a very proper individual to indulge the lusts of this world by extending his walks so far afield in order to watch th« interesting game.—Yours, &c, Mcseh.

AUCKLAND CHAMBER OF COM MERCE AND THE RAILWAY ROUTE.

[BY TELEGRAPH—SPECIAL BKPOItTES.]

Wellington, yesterday. The " Post" bad another long articls cv th» Auckland Chamber of Commerce on Man day night. It cays :—" It la very curioM t<J read the reports of two meetings of tli% Auckland Chamber of Commerce, at which the purport of. the Committee's report on the North Island trunk railway route vsia discussed. At the first the member* appeared-to be absolutely demented. All sound judgment and ordinary common sense seemed to. have been swept away by the severe and apparently unexpected Wow whjch the. report gave to their hopes ;of direct railway communication with Tarn naki. The wildest language, the most absurd threats, were used. A Uttle reflec tion, however, brought tho Auckland mer chants to their sense?, aud at tjie second meetiqg the matter was discussed|with good sense, and an amount of moderation highly creditable to those concerned." The writer then comments on the resolutions adopted, and the utterances of members. "Thesa sensible expressions of opinu n ware taken exception to by the irrepressible S. Vails and one or two others, but the good sense of the meeting carried Mr Aickin'g rogolutioa to offer no obstruction to the central route-, but to try and get a'branch lino madeto connect New Jflymouth with the T» Awamutu line. We trust that the Auck* land members will, when the matter comes before the House, take an equally sensible view of it j for, although there is no likelihood that the House wUI pledge itself to the construction or survey even of a branch line, ther« is very little doubt that in dv»e tima branches will be made to connect both th« East and West Coasts with the main ces. tral line, and in the meantime the construe* tion of the latter will not only nQt injure but will greatly advance the interests of Auckland—as much, indeed, as Wellington or any other part of the colony." - ' \

MINING NEWS.

COROHAffIDEX*,

(F»om thb "Cobomasdel Mail.")

Kapaxha.—Things are looking decidedly better in this mine. Some very nice speci mens nave been got in the stopcs, and there is every probability that more will be got now as they are working below the old shots of gold which formerly turned out so well. The manager has also made a very important discovery lately in iron pyrites. He finds that' patches occur through the reefs, some 50 pounds tested, having yielded over 5 ounces of gold. Large quantities of this mineral have boon thrown away at various times, for although gold was known to exist in it the cost of extraction was found to be too great. Captain Argall has extracted the gold by a different proceea which will leave a large margin of profit. Mariebeix.—The manager has got a good paddock of quartz From the littlo leader, and will crush as soon ns the bat tery repairs a.re finished. The mine i* looking very yd\ and likely to produce payable pt«ne for some time. j Visards.— The manager has not yet sue-' coeded in getting payable gold, although When the country changed he thought he would soon be on it, However, he cannot bo very far from the winze now in which he left good golden stone. C^ijTßAL,— The manager cannot succeed to picking up the Matftwai reef on the sur face, and th.c supposition is-that it has taken a dip, and does not come to tho sur face to tliis ground. <Tokatea.— No change has occurred in the main level during the week. The face of the drive is rapidly nearingtlie estimated distance, but it is quite possible they may have to go somewhat further. Queen.—The drive has not yet cut the reef, although it is now getting well up. About 150 feet has been driven, and the manager thinks he ■will have the reof in hand in a week or ten days. The new level will give them about 60 feet of backs on the reef.
