PARLIAMENTARY.

LAST EIGHTS SITTING-

THE ADDKESS-IN-KEPLY.

(by telegkaph.— special bepokter.)

Wellington, this : day. The galleries were all well filled last even ing, when the Address-in-Reply to His Ex cellency's speech was moved.

Mr Graham, who moved that a respect ful address be presented to His Excellency in reply to the speech which he had been pleased to make, spoke for about twenty minutes, traversing various points dealt with in the speech. He was specially severe on the. land policy and native land legislation of the Stout-Vogel administra tion. ~ Mr McGregor, who seconded, paid; a graceful compliment to his predecessor, Mr Montgomery, and, like the member for East Coast, proceeded to speak dieparas-. ino-ly of the land legislation of the v last three years, declaring emphatically that on the land question we wanted something, more than a Ballance. He, however, gave expression to an extraordinary statement for a seconder of the address, that as he was an ardent free trader, Government, m the event of their tinkering with the tanS, could not reckon on his support. Sir J. Vogel was next to catch the Speaker's eye#and he paid if the Premier was prepared to make espousal of the policy of the Government, he would be prepared to give way to him. There was, how ever, no response from Major Atkinson, and Sir J. Vogel proceeded to say that if Government proposed to shelter themselves behind the popular demand for retrenchment, and avoid any reference to other questions of policy, neither coun try nor members would be satisfied., He had been struck with the fact that the irony of events had brought into the House as a seconder of the address on behalf of the Go vernment of the member for Egmont the successor of a gentleman whose object for years had been to keep the member for Eo-mont out of office. He considered that the method adopted by Major Atkinson in securing the support of the party follow ing him, and in forming a Cabinet, was unusual and undesirable. He asserted that, while the Opposition caucuses were proceeding, and Major Atkinson was profes eiii"- his willingness to take any subordinate position, he had really the draft of a new Cabinet in his pocket. Ho congratulated Mr Carroll on the wise resolutions which he had tabled that afternoon, and which, if carried, would be the most valuable that would bo passed this session. Sir Julius proceeded to criticise the personnel of the new Cabinet. He eulogised Messrs Mitchel son and Richardson, but was severe on Messrs Fisher and Hislop. He declared that if reports were true, Mr Fisher had secured his portfolio by giving it plainly to be understood that if he was not taken into the Government he would make it very warm for those who were. This was introducing a disgraceful system in the formation of the Cabinet. He also asked what claim Mr Hislop hid to a seat in the Government, and quoted from a former speech by the latter gentlemen, in which he was supposed to have said Major Atkinson was not fit to be Premier. (Mr Hislop said the report waa not true.) All party System would be at an end if gentlemen who gave faithful ser vices to the party for years were «r,su aside in order that they might take in gentlemen who wopld go into op position if not selected. He referred to. Messrs Beetham, Fulton, Brtfce, Wlry'fe, Newman and Bar'roh as consistent and faithful followers, who had been overlooked, and yet they pbtfse"ssetl more ability tKsih either of the two gentlemen chosen. Hβ asserted that it was not in accordance with the voice of the country that Major Atkin son was at the head of the Government. His party were too careful to let it be known that they weresupportersof his. He declared that liberal land laws were now in existence, and if the Ministry could introduce more liberal measures they would deserve the thanks of the country. In the Address-in- Replythe House was committed to an ex pression of opinion—" We agree in the" opidion that the system under which the Railways are worked is unsatisfactory." Never before in an Address-in-Keply was a Parliament committed to so decided an ex pression of opinion, and he asked the Premier would he alter the paragraph so as to read that "We notice the opinion ex pressed that the system under which rail ways are worked is unsatisfactory " Major Atkinson said without wishing to be discourteous he preferred to have his pay when Sir Julius Vogel was done. Sir Julius Vogel: Tf the hon. gentleman did not see his way to alter the-paragraph 60 as to save the House from expressing so decided an opinion, an amendment would be proposed by Some hon. mfember. The paragraph relating to the tariff Was essen tially unsatisfactory, and the excuse that more time was required was not the,real one. The real excuse on the part of the Government was a desire to evade the dis agreeable question. Was Major Atkinson a thorough going protectionist, or was he merely concealing His views with, the view of conciliating a few votes? The Custiams tariff should be dealt with this session, everi though they had to eit long after Christmas. As to the educa tional views of the Cabinet, they would have to wait further developments, but the fact-that the present Minister toad recently told the people of Wellington that we must destroy the institutions which carried on secondary education, that theschool,age would have to be increased and standards reduced, -was not a promising indication of their policy. As to the adjournment asked for, he did not object W three weeke' delay in bringing down the Financial Sfcateriiefrt; provided other business JvaS proceeded with in the meantime. While not prepared to say he should oppose the adjournment of the House for the time asked, he regarded it as a great sacrifice of the time of the House, or a desire of. Ministers, to retain their seats till too late to allow them to be ejected from office. As regarded himself, he did not desire to occupy a seat on the Treasury Benches, and if the Ministers brought down measures for the benefit of the country, they might reckon oh hie eixp- ; port and that of his own party. The Cabinet; were very foreign and different from the Government that was desired to be placed on the Benches by the persons who had moved heaven-and earth and spent money like water for the purpose of securing sup portto Major Atkinson. The Ministry, he re peated, was a complete overthrow to wishes of the gentlemen referred to. When the Premier had convinced him that the policy of his Government was a good one for the country, and that the Government were strong, enough to carry on/the business of the country, they might rely oh his sup port. Major Atkinson said that he did not know what impression the speech just de livered had produced on members, but he regretted that the first debate in the new Parliament had been' degraded by re niarks of a. personal nature. "The object of" the hon. gentleman was evident enough. Wounded vanity and self eefceem at the result of the elections was also plain enough. The,hon. gentle man had said he would only; be there three weeks,; and he replied it would only be three weeks if.he had to; asJt the assistance of the hon. gentleman. Neither by flattery nor by any; such remarks; as' he had tnadp, wbultt he riiake any breach between, himself (Atkinson) and his follbwittg; and those who had attended been Msb fWdy and most willing, mi Kaosb-tisdarsdj,

to sacrifice every feeling for the good of tlie country. (Applause.) Thfe remarks were in ynfetched taste about the hon. member for Weilington East, and because he had had the marMiness to leave tho late Ministry bee ause hedreagreed with them hehad been persecuted by the late Colonial Treasurer ever Mince. He denied that Mr Fisher ever said , that if not \fcaken into the Government, he would make ft hot for them. ' Sir J. Vogel offered to produce his authority, and Major Atkinson challenged him.to.d<ps°- Major Atkinson proceeded to say he could bring xloiVn the Financial in a few days, if he had the assurance bf lr>ir J. Vogel to ciWie down with a proposal to in crease the taxation by £350,0001 'to meet . the deficit. The country de manded retvvinchment, and would not trust Sir J. Vogel to effect it. (Laugh ter.) The tbiio asked for In which to prepare the s phemo of retrenchment was moderate, and #bo House would have done good work for ;th© country if it effected such retrenchment even though not a iSi.ngle bill was passed. \ The revised tariff could not be prepared this side of Christmas, but if members on th fc Opposition side did not harass the Government and not close the session imrned lately, they were at Me service of the "co untry till Marcli. He promised that the tariff would be fiatisfac tory when it was br ought down. Hef erring to Sir J. Vogel's objection to the wording of the clause relating to railway reform, he expressed hie willingness to make the amendment in the di tection suggested. Mr Ballance claimcW that the question of protection occupied a position of importance in the mind of the co fantry equal to that of retrenchment. He .isserted thore was a clear majority of the House who were pro tectionists in principle, and an overwhelm ing majority of those* who were protec tionists in the light (toat encouragement should be given to local He did not think it was the feteltng of tlhe House that this important question of protection should be relegated to rtext session. The Opposition would give (.government every assistance to pass simple land laws and place settlers on the land. Mr Fisher followed, a> od complimented the member for Wanganiii on the tone of his speech contrasted with that of the mem ber for Christehureh NortSi. The mission of this Parliament was to restore the finances of the colony, and if they accom plished that they would deserve xvell df the conntry. Ministers did aiot ihteh«il to delude the House, and they* had An earnest ness of desire and singleness of purpose in the work they had in hand. If their prin ciples were unacceptable to-the Hbusfj they Avould consent to sit there {no longer, and would not, like their predecessors, V/ait to be thrust out. The financed were ia a con fused state, and it would tttke their best in telligence and highest ability to put them in a satisfactory Condition. As to education he would only say this : He had been very considerably iJhisrepresentlsdwith regard to his Wellington speech, and afjam he°had beon most unjustly and ungenerously misrepresented, btit would have an oppor tunity next day of giving a refutation to the erroneous statement put forth concern ing him. After further discussion, the motion for adopting the AddrtJsn-in-Reply Wus then put atid agreed td on the voices. The House went into Committee of Supply. Mr Hamlin said he desired to thank hon; members for re-electing him as Chairman <y; Committees of the House. It would be hia endeavour to disobargis the onerous duties of the position to the Satisfaction of the House. ~:.. •. _v.
