RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR WANGANUI.

1 (by telegram.— own correspondent.)

Wanganui, this day. The accident which occurred on the rail way line near Bonny Glen was more serious than the railway authorities allowed to leak out at first. There is no doubt but that had the accident occurred on almost any other part of the line in that vicinity the consequences would have been serious. The place was just round a curve and there was high ground at the other side of the slip. Dawes Conring round tho corner saw that a slip had taken place exposing a number of sleepers,leaving a length or two of rail almost unsupported. With the speed he had on, he could not stop, and he rushed over it. The engine went over all right, but the trucks and carriages were thrown off the line, The weight of the engine caused a collapse of th,e made ground by the hollow and into this went two or three timber and firewood trucks. The passenger waggons fortunately ran aside on the high ground and the guards van did not leave the line. The chasm is about 29 feet deep by 40 feet in length and was caused by insufficient accommodation for surface water which lodged—there being only a2g inch pipe to take it away. , [ 3' i

PUBLIC MEETING AT OTAHUHU.

A rußLic meeting was held at Otahuhu on Monday'night in the Public Hall, calling upon the inhabitants to say what steps should be taken so as to urge upon the Go vernment the necessity of a Post Office in a 'central part of tho town; also, to protest to the authorities' against the injury that would be done to Otahuhu and the surround ing districts by the proposed abolition of district Telegraph Offices. There was a very largo attendance, and the spirit of the meeting throughout was in accord with the promoters of the meeting. Mr Howard Hutton, J.P., was voted to the chair, and read the notice convening the meeting, as printed in the Stab. Mr J, Hunt then explained the objects and wishes of tho convenors of tho meeting, viz., tho public right to ask for. justice ,or to protest against a wrong. As our space will not permit tho printing1 of the lengthy report of our correspondents, we may state that it was resolved, " That Messrs Hutton, Gordon, Luke and Sturges, bo a deputation to wait upon tho Hon. Sir Robert Stout, and urge upon him and his Ministry that Otahulm has a growing population, and is a most important suburb of Auckland (as the District of Papatoitoi, Mangero, Flat Bush &c, are mainly dependent upon it for letters and telegrams) and a respectable and a central site should be obtained and that Otahuhu should not bo deprived of a Telegraph Station or any Post Office bo elected but in a central position, as a number of offers had been made to Government fche expenses of many being nearly nominal. A vote of thanks to the Chairman terminated the meeting.

Mr E. Hamlin at Pukekohe.

Mr Edward Hamlin addressed his consti tuents in the Pukekohe Protestant Hall last evening. There was "a good attendance; between sixty and eighty persons being present. Mr Jamison was voted to the chair, and briefly introduced the business ot the evening. At the same time, he ex pressed the hope that Mr Hamlin would succeed in his candidature for South Franklin, and was satisfied that they could not get a better man as their representative. Mr Hamlin was favourably received, and plunged at once into his subject. He first referred to the Representation Bill which was before the House last session, and said that his casting vote on the reduction of members given by him while acting as Chairman, of Committees, when the bill was under consideration in committee, had been misrepresented by one who was not acquainted with Parliamentary practice, and who had sought to damage him in the eyes of his constituents. No bill brought forward during the session had passed its reading so readily as the Re presentation Bill, but they must not suppose from that fact that the House as a House was in favour of the measure. When members came to look into the measure, it was discovered that it took three members from the South Island and favo threo additional members to the forth Island. This fact aroused the op position of Southern members, who were numerically stronger than the Northerners. The speaker narrated the proceedings in committee, when proposals were made for the reduction of the number of mem bers. The committee fixed the number at 71, and the Premier promised to accept that decision. Then there was con siderable discussion about the margin in favour of country districts, and a compro mise of 750 was agreed upon. Then the opposition to the bill disclosed itself, and subsequent events proved that the Premier was not so favourable to the measure as he professed to be. A deadlock oc curred, and after a delay of several days, the bill got into committee again, and the allowance of 750 was passed and the margin fixed at 18 per cent. Mr Hamlin then de tailed the subsequent proceedings leading up to the tie that occurred on the question that the number of members should be re tained at 71. He was in the chair, and it was in this connection that an attempt was made to damage him with his constituents. He was compelled to follow the rules of the House and the precedents laid down in Mays's Parliamentary Practice, and give his casting vote in the direction of leaving matters as they were with a view to further consideration. At the same time, he told members that an opportunity would be given for further consideration. The question came up again in the House, and on this occasion he was in his place as a private member. Now, if the 39 members who voted on the previous occasion in favour of the reduction to 71 had been sincere, and had remained true to their colours, they could have carried their proposal, because they would have had the assistance of his vote as a private member. He voted for the reduction in accordance with the promise made before he loft for Wellington. Much had been made of the fact that he gave his casting vote against the reduction of mem bers, but he made this explanation with the object of showing that, as Chairman of Committees, he was compelled to follow precedent in his decision, although it was opposed to his own feelings. If we had perfect system of local self government, similar to what we possessed with the old provincial institutions, then it would bo feasible to reduce the numbers of our members; but until we gained that desideratum it would not be wise to reduce the number. The difference in cost between tho maintenance of 71 and 91 members might be made up by. the reduction of the honorarium to Ll5O. A reduction in the number of members would give greater facilities for corruption and log-rolling, and the representation of the people wouid not be so good as under the present system. Mr Hamlin then pro ceeded to refer to the Customs Tariff Bill. He reminded them of his predic tion in that hall, four months ago, that the colony had gone to the bad to the extent of between L 200.000 and L 250.000. When the Colonial Treasurer met the House, he told them that his deficiency was only L 92,000, whereas he had forgotten or neglected to mention that he had omitted to pay the local bodies' subsidies. This nearly made up the deficiency which he had predicted when he pre viously addressed them. If the de ficiency was only L 92,000, why did the Colonial Treasurer propose to increase the custom taxes by such a large amount, to raise the property tax, and to reduce the subsidies to local bodies by one half ? The speaker referred to the liability of L 62,000 on village settlements which had been kept back by the Treasurer, and which was dis covered in the last days of the session. The question was raised in the House whether the members had confidence in the Government, and it was decided in the negative. A dissolution followed, and as a consequence he was now before them to resign his trust and to ask a renewal of it. If the electors had confidence in the Govern ment, it was their duty to punish those who had put them out of office, and he was one of those who had assisted to do so. If they did not agree with his action, they should not vote for him. (Applause.) Mr Hamlin ridiculed the claims made by the Government that they had effected considerable retrenchment in the public service, and asserted that officers who had been discharged were immedi ately replaced by others at equally large salaries. He referred to the case of Mr Vickers, who was compelled to retire in con&equence of. alleged retrenchment, and whoso place was filled by five others. Then again in the native office, the former Native Minister left a balance of L 2,000, and the present Native Minister had exceeded his vote this year by L 1,700. That was not retrenchment. The Estimates for the present year showed an increase of of L 130,615, and yet the Government claimed to have retrenched, and to have reduced the expenditure in the public ad ministration. Mr Hamlin went into the Estimates for several departments at some length, with the object of proving the fallacy of the claims to retrenchment. On the other hand, he claimed that actual retrenchment could be effected to the extent of upwards of L 300,000. His opinion was based on the estimate framed by the Opposition of the reduction that might be made, and this spirit of economy was not any newly-formed zeal on the part of the Opposition. One of the prominent members of that party had brought in bills to carry his views into effect. Tho Opposition believed that L 3,500 should be sufficient for future Governors, with an allowanco of L 1,500, innku.g a total of L;" 5,000, which he thought was sullicient. The Lower House honorarium should bo reduced to Ll5O, and the Legislative Council honorarium to LIOO. He believed the Native Department might be swept away altogether, with the exception of the translator and record clerk, who might be transferred to the Minister of Justice's Department. The Mines Department might bo dispensed with, and he believed it was a department main tained to keep goldfields members sweet in their support of the Government. The number of Ministers should be reduced, and the Premier's salary brought down from U,750 to L 1,250, and the salaries of four other Ministers from L 1,250 to LI.OOO. Or he would bo prepared to accept Sir George Grey'a idea of four Ministers with two Parliamentary under-socretaries ; but tuab proposal would not lead ton vory great *****T f&tyHl** tljat * considerable

saving might also be made in the vote for the permanent force, and suggested that having been trained to the use of the guns, the men should be sent to the interior and settled on land, where they would be ready for service in the time of emergency. He excepted the artillery, engineer, and torpedo officers from the proposed reduction. A couple of hands under one of the instructors could see that the guns were kept in order. The sum of L 48.000 might thus bo reduced to L 3.000. They had been told that the num ber of members must be reduced to 91, and the honorarium be kept at the present rate. That would bo no retrenchment in our present difficulties, but if the number were kept as at present, and the honorarium reduced to LloO, there would be a saving of L 5,000 right oft", and the country would be better represented. On the question of education, he thought tho expenditure was large, but he did not think they could show him any similar sum that was so well expended for the benefit of the colony or its inhabitants. A proposal was made to reduce the minimum school age to seven years, but that would mean Jihe closing of half the country schools, and ne would oppose that proposal. Then some people asked why we should not stop the education of our children at the 4th Stand ard, but he objected to do so while we were paying such large sums for secondary edu cation. If a reduction must be made on this vote, they might strike out the capita ion grants to School Committees, and the children could sweep out the schools in urn, and the people could put their hands in their pockets when the building re quired painting. But he would object to restricting the education of the children of tho people to the Fourth Standard while the country paid upwards of L 20.000 a year for high schools and colleges, so that the exclu sive class might have their children educa ted in places where they would not mix with the offspring of those beneath them. He ob jected to any interference with the vote for primary education in the face of the large expenditure on secondary education. He feared that the village settlements would not be the success that the promoter hoped they would be. Village settlements, to bo successful, must be near centres of popula tion, where the settlers might get profitable employment occasionally. The principle of paying L7O to each settler was simply raising a large army of people to be ,sup portedby the State, and he thought it wmng to send men with families to such inacces sible and out of tho way places. The House did not object to land settlements, but took strong exception to the principles of this scheme, and the system adopted in carrying it out. Of the two Land Bills before the House, he preferred Sir George Grey's, and especially that part of it affording special facilities of sons of oldsettlerstotakeupland. He was unable to say that he would sup port a land and income tax in preference to the property tax, but objected to the prin ciple of a fresh property tax valuation every three years, which meant the taxing of in dustries. He was not in favour of protec tion, but if individuals were starting any industry by which it was likely that a num ber of hands would be employed, he would vote for the granting of bonuses to them ; but he was opposed to protection. (Cheers.) Some of the candidates had told them that they would hold themselves independent, but the electors could not afford to let any man go to Wellington as their representa tive without knowing his views. He did not believe in the Ministry. They had been in office three years, and had not dono anything they had promised to do, but rather the contrary. An independent man must be one of two things, either a believer in the pre sent Government or he must go to Welling ton pledged to assist in turning them out. There was no such thing as independence at present. If some persons whom he ex pected to be present had attended the meeting, he would have spoken strongly of some other matters, but their ab sence prevented him from saying what he wished to say. Others had claimed credifc for having secured the special settle ment on the opposite bank of the Waikato river at Tuakau ; but he asserted they were trying to take credit to which they were not entitled. Mr Hamlin produced a letter from the Hon. Mr Ballance to show that it was he.(Mr Hamlin) who had worked to obtain the land. He also had obtained the punt over the * river, and he had suc ceeded in getting other concessions for which the credit was claimed by a gentle man who was opposing him. The speaker concluded amidst prolonged applause. In answer to questions Mr Hamlin said there was no hope for railway reform until they got rid of tho present General Mana ger. He was prepared to send the General Manager about his business, but they could not do so until they got a Minister who had a mind of his own. The Minister was a perfect babe in the hands of the General Manager, who con cocted the railway tariff, which was signed by tho Minister without knowing anything about it. He would like to see Vaile's scheme tried on one of the branch lines, and if successful he would like to see it carried out. He had repeatedly urged upon tho attention of the Minister of Works the necessity of fencing the line past Pukekohe, and in that connection a breach of faith with him had been committed by the Minister in doing this work further South than where it was promised. The Pension Act had been repealed for some years, and people now left the sex-vice on a retiring allowance of one month's salary for each year's service. The Chairman said that after the speech of Mr Hamlin, he felt satisfied that they would return him again as their representative and that they would cry "Hamlin" for ever, and Hamlin again. Mr Lattimer moved a vote of thanks to Mr Hamlin.

Mr Wilkinson moved a vote of thanks and confidence in Mr Hamlin, and said he had listened with very great pleasure to his address. He feared the colony was ort" the verge of bankruptcy, and if there ever was a time when they required a member who would speak out his mind, now was the time. About a dozen hands were held up in favour of the vote of confidence, and none against, and it was declared carried. The meeting concluded with thanks to the Chairman.
