MR W. F. BUCKLAND AT OTAHUHU.

A Reviow of the Session,

Mr W. F. Buckland (M.H.It, for Franklin North) met and addressed the electors of Otahuhu last night, in the l'ublio Hall. There was a moderate attendance. On the motion of Mr John Logan, soconded by Mr Jones, Mr John Gordon was voted to tho chair. , ... . Mr BticictAND was received with a rouna of applause. Ho narrated the events of the last Beasion, and recapitu lated the several attempts to form a Ministry after Major Atkinson's defeat. Endeavours wore made to effect a coalition ;of the Atkinson and Stout-Vogol parties, and he himself save in hie adhesion- to it, although he did not like it. Mr Stout however, was first determined to defeat Maior Atkinson in tho Houso, and they then found that the coalition proposals oi the Stout-Vogel party were not genuine. The latter, with the aid of tho Greyite sec tion of tho House, got into power again. In the mcantimo the various sections ot tno majority had found out how much they might expect, and they eagerly welcomed tho proposal in tho Governor's speech which had previously led to the defeat of tho Stout-Vogel party. The now Go vernment acccused Major Atkinson ot spending more upon tho railways than was authorised, but they had sinco been obliged to pursue tho same policy thomsolves. They worked their measures with great artfulness, insisting that they should either bo passed or rejected as a whole, and in this way they managed to keep together their rather disjointed majority. One bill bound the Government to spend £500,000 upon the improvement of Westport Harbour, and another bill £250,000 upon the improvement of Grey mouth Harbour, while both places were forgiven a debt of £230,000 that they owed the Government. Thus Sir Julius Vogel spent nearly a million sterling in securing tKese Westland votes Then the^overn-. ■ZAteffluHonT sterling for 10 or 16 years, at C per cent., for the construction of the Canterbury-Westland railway, and those who would construct it were to get one and a-hal£ million acres of land, com prising tho best of that in Canterbury which was not yet in private hands. So far as the determination of the route for the North Island trunk line was concerned, he thought that a fair system towards Auckland had not been adopted in taking the evidence. For a long time the Stout-Vogel party pre served a doubtful majority by delaying to allot the seventh portfolio ; and then, too, the temptation of an eighth portfolio was dangled before the eyes of aspiring members. Again, there were the baits of offices connec ted with the scheme of Insurance Boards. The Government reserved to themselves the right of appointing paid directors at each centre, of appointing paid Railway Boards, and a Chairman and paid directors for the South Sea Island scheme, and they also proposed the appointment of two addi tional Chairmen of Committees. All these things influenced members' votes, and it was for this reason that the exercise of such patronage by a Government was very reprehensible. Sir Julius Voxel's scheme of alionating the Sinking Fund, whi'h vir tually meant the payment of interest -ut if loans, also took with many members. He thought it a regretable thing that Sir Julius Vogel was allowed to float an un scheduled loan, because the Government had it in their power now to spend the money where they pleased. The borrowing proposals pledged the country to the raw ing of £12,150,000 additional. By a clever ruse in connection with the West Coast railway scheme, Canterbury had got back not only the whole of her land, but also the pick of the West Coast coal and goldh'elds ; and this, too, notwithstanding Sir George Grey's advocacy for years past of the policy of securing the land for the people. This West Coast railway scheme was in fact tho most gigantic job ever brought before the House. The amount of influence which the Government created for themselves was shown by the fact that they recommended the creation of 132 paid offices—a pretty strong lever in a House of 87 members. Reverting to the West Coast railway scheme, he felt certain that it would prove unpayable, and that the colony would be obliged to purchase it; and that, too, after losing one and a-half million acres of land. He supported the District Rail ways Bill at hrst, as he thought that it would facilitate the completion of the Rotorua lino, but after finding the motive of the Government in proposing^ to forgive arrears of rates due to various district rail way companies, such as the Waimea Plains Railway Company, out of whose £9,000 of rate arrears £6,000 was owed by the Land Settlement Company, with which both Sir Julius Vogel and Mr Stout were connected —one as director and the other as legal adviser—he opposed it. The bill, of course, passed the Lower House, but was lost in the Legislative Council. He strongly opposed, also, the South Sea Island scheme, for while it would commit tho colony to large expenditure and perhaps greater responsi bilities, yet as New Zealand was only to hove two directors on a board of eight, the probability was that at its first meeting the headquarters of the suggested company would be shifted to Sydney. He had always been hostile to the Government Insurance scheme, and the recent in stitution of elective boards had not improved it in his eyes. The people of the colony as a whole, instead of tho insurers, merely should have been allowed to elect the Boards, seeing that the colony guaranteed payment of the claims. He had supported all the votes for primary education, but ho had consistently opposed tho votes for secondary education, believing that that part of tho system should be self supporting. He took occasion to draw attention to the abnormally large expendi ture in Canterbury upon charitable aid, and particularly in finding work for tho unemployed, whereby many addi tional works were undertaken. HU prefer ence for the Stratford route over the central route for tho main trunk line was still unshaken, and he was strongly, dissat isfied with the dilatoriness of the Govern ment in proceeding with the construction of tho lino. TJtey had not yet raieed tho mil lion loan required, for tho purpose, nor let a single contract, yet they had found time to let three large contracts upon the Otago central line. Down South the people seemed to have no proper idea of the importance of Auckland. Indeed, ope Southern member had remarked to hint that any time within the next ten years would do for the construction of the North Island railway. Tho Hon. Mr Ballance, who had arrived in Auckland that day for the first time in his life, was the member of the present Ministry whom he liked the most, and Mr Ballance had told him that he was fairly astonished at what he saw in Auckland. He would be still more surprised when he saw the Regatta on the following day. After referring to the agitation re the grain freight charges and the recent reduction of the tiriff, Mr Buckland remarked that, so far as the Hinemoa expe dition was concerned, he did not intend to say much, as. the affair waß involved in some mystery. It seemed certain that an expedition to the Islands was intended, and his opinion was that we had quite enough to do in minding our own affairs. As for the larger question of German annexation, ho thought it not a bad thing to have Germany as a neighbour in the work of colonisation. Tho speaker then entered into a lengthy explanation of those remarks of his concern ing tho miners which had got him into hot water with the goldefildB1 members. He considered £1 little enough to pay for a miner's right. He saved the colony about £200 by exhausting the time for discussing a proposal by Mr Hobbs to appoint a use less commission in respect of a suggested railway in the Jforth, The Married Women's Property Protection Act, which applied equally to both races, was about the most important piece of legislation of the session. He approved of it with the excep tion of the clause empowering married women to contract partnerships with men other than their husbands, for he considered that the effect of it would be to weaken the marriage tie. He determinedly opposed the Gold Duties Abolition Bill, and it was re jected in the Upper House. Being in favour of the property tax, he of course opposed Sir Geo. Grey's proposed modification of it. He favoured the proposal that Parliament should meet in the day-time instead of at night. They passed the Consolidated Im pounding- Acts Bill, the Police Offences Bill, the Insurance Policies Bill, and the Electric Lines Bill, several of them being actually rushed through the House. He opposed every attempted alteration of the Education Act, but he was sorry to see that there was a consider able section in the House determined to force some change in the system. He did not believe the members were paid too much. He was annoyed that, despite promises to the contrary, the tolls had been retained in this district. It was a gross breach of faith. In no other part of the colony were such tolls still in existence. If he had been in Mr Tole's place he should, as an Auckland representative, have in sisted upon the abolition of these tolls, even at the cost of his portfolio. Mr Tole, how ever, had got them remo vod from his own dis trict, and poseibly he was interested in not having them abolished elsewhere. He had

done hish9Bt a^WeUingtan jfoJlraH but ho was not &fiQ otthose 3181 back up Vogel.
