It was 'Sable that the first two or three ?*S wbich attempted to re- SwoS fall, but still they would Stoi-rably, if they were trying to W L colony from ruin. Mr Mitchelson f It on to speak about the mal-ad ■i-tration of the present Government. JftLmiVr in making his statement on jK&rabouttSe eduction of the f runner head, appearead to have forgot ffrnumberoi taxpayers had left the XT lor want of employment. The rJL had also'referred to the imposition fieraduated tax, but he considered it a !!t iniquitous one, as it was simply' a Zvn calculated to set class against 1.. Under such a system persons *v nay at the rate of L 6 15s 6d I!to LvO°> and at the rate of Ll° 15s 6d orL3 550 and upwards. Surely that was srt fir taxation. He thought that it % have been wiser to reduce the exemp- Hnnto L2OO. But it would have been still !ltohavereduced the expenditure. (Ap ilaise.) He would like to see the property Lbolfehed, bnt unfortunately the country % not afford it at present. The Premier y also said that he favoured another 12,000000 loan, but that meant additional totio'n. for his part, he believed that if tie loan were to be floated upon the Lon i'a market in the present state of the dedit of the colony, it meant a loss of 185,01)0 in the shape of discount, The jßuier said at Auckland that this amey waa required for the comple te of the Helensville North railway. JtOtago of course the Premier said that the pittas required to complete the Otago Cotral Railway. Well, he should like to ftttan both completed, but in the present til of the country he thought that they EJtttitabit, as the country required fj from this borrowing. (Applause.) JBclielson then repeated his remarks jailing the proposed increase of the tana tariff. He also denied thestate ji of the Government supporters that H) had been saved by the present Go rant It was true that some slight (w tad been effected, but the expendi tety increased in other directions. The tekjaid that an additional LBO,OOO ti^t be saved the country by means sug piai by him. But he could tell those pent that such a means of saving was Wdisclosed in the Financial Statement, ilidi he recommended them all to read. ft thought that it would be better if the fenier would give up some of his fads tsd come down to practical matters, for pctice was what was now required. Manse.) There had been more scan min connection with the adminis ter of the present Government 4u with any previous Government, such i) tie sale of Rotorua railway debentures, feStarkpurchase, and the Insurance pur ita. All these properties were purchased Jm strong Government supporters. The mmkion upon the purchase of native Ws was also iniquitious. In fact, it willegal Worthless land had been pur ted along the line of the North Island W Railway. They could see from the flier's speech that there was little ifrncbment to be expected from the pat Government. (Applause.) He acl pthem all to read that speech carefully. ►Apart, he believed that retrenchment ™m commence at the top of the tree, but 1« Premier thought differently. Be [wed it to be understood that while the wption vrere in favour of retrenchment to tte Education Department, they did WW» to interfere much with the present (Applause.) Still he thought that »««rable saving might be effected in direction. As he had printed in pam- F form the speech which he delivered Wtoday night at Mount Eden, copies of I !

(4) The Petitions Committee were supposed to sit every morning, so thac they could deal witli petitions. We could not divest the Committee of Ministerial control, as they were appointed by the Ministers. (5) He was not in favour of Major Atkinson's Nationnl Insurance scheme j that was a fad. (Laughter.) (6) He was not in favour of introducing inferior or cheap labour, but he was not in favour of a prohibitive protective tariff. (7) He would support the Eight Hours Bill, if agricultural labourers and servants were eliminated. (8) He would not favour the granting of pensions. (9) He would favour the reduction of Ministers' salaries j but they must remember that there was a great tax upon Ministers, both as charity and also because living was much dearer in Wellington. (10) He did not think that LI.OOO per annum was too much for the Premier. He would also favour the reduction of travelling allowances to LI Is per day. (Applause.) (11) He was not in favour of selling the railways; it would be an incalculable injury to the colony. • (12) He would be prepared to help the mining districts in every way possible. On the motion of Mr Little, seconded by Mr Ckragh, a vote of thanks and confidence was accorded to Mr Mitehelson amidst pro longed applause. A vote of thanks to the Chairman ter minated the proceedings.

Sir G. Maurice O'Rorke at Newmarket.

Sip. G. Maurice O'Rorke addressed the electors of Manukau at the Newmarket Hall last evening. His Worship the Mayor (Mr W. J. Suiter) presided, and amongst others on the platform were Dr. Kidd, LL.D., and Mr W. Dinnison. There was a crowded audience, and Sir Maurice was received with considerable enthusiasm. In his address, the hon. gentleman went over the same ground as he did at Onehunga on Tuesday evening. He narrated several instances of disunion amongst the Ministry,and said the country did not want again to see such scenes as had occurred in the last Parliament, and that the new Ministry, of whoever it was composed, should be composed of men who had confidence in each other. On the question of free trade and protection he said when England threw open its ports to all the countries of the world she no doubt thought that Europe and America would do likewise. Europe was as vigorously protectionist as it ever was, and America had so steadily protected her young in dustries that they were now able to hold their own in other countries. Which was the most enlightened and democratic colony in the Australian group ? Victoria. Her prosperity surpassed that of any other colony, and with her example before them they should give protection to their local industries. Speaking of retrenchment, he said the people had already settled the question, as no man could stand up and ad dress a body of electors who did not advocate thorough retrenchment in the public service. He did not mean those in temporary office, but those in permanent employment under the Government. After speaking in terms of praise of the Village Settlement Scheme, he expressed a hope that Captain Daveney's scheme of settle ment of soldiers in this colony would be adopted, as he believed it would give a spurt to the district and help to do away with the depression. He then proceeded to state his views on the question of educa tional expenditure, and advocated the re tention of the property tax. Sir Maurice, on sitting down, was heartily cheered. The Chairman said that a question had been placed in his hands which he thought was hardly respectful. How ever, he would read it and leave it to the meeting if Sir Maurice should answer it or not. It was, "Is Sir Maurice in favour of reducing the salary of the Speaker of the House of Representatives ?" (Cries of " Answer the question.")

Sir Maurice said he would answer the question readily. He was in favour of a reduction of the Speaker's salary in the same ratio as the salaries of other public officers might be reduced.

Mr Jeune rose to ask a question regard ing the Midland Railway,but was ruled out of order by the Chairmau, on the ground that he was not an elector of Manukau.

Mr H. R. Jury then asked the question that had been' asked by Mr Jeune. In reply thereto, Sir Maurice said that he preferred the granting of the 2,000,000 acres to the Mid land Railway Company in preference to the original proposal of the Government to grant a subsidy of L 97.000 per annum. Mr Ball, who was greeted with cries of " Oranges," created shrieks of laughter by asking would Sir Maurice support a bill to prevent a brewer owning a public house. Sir Maurice said he would not support such a bill, as he did not see why a brewer should not own a public house as much as any other man.

Dr. Kidd proposed a vote of thanks and confidence in bir Maurice O'Rorke, and paid a tribute to that gentleman's ability as a local representative and also in the Speakership. In the latter capacity he had raised the tone of the House of Representa tives, and his services were worth tens of thousands of pounds to the colony. Mr Pickmere seconded the motion.

Mr French moved, " That this meeting, for the present, desires to remain un pledged, but to thank Sir Maurice O'Rorke lor his address." To his mind, Sir Maurice's address had been one of the most ambiguous he had ever listened to. He had not°com mitted himself to anything. He endorsed all that had been said about Sir Maurice's abilities in the Speakership, but he claimed that the speech they had listened to showed that the hon. gentleman was deficient in back-bone. He had commenced with a mild condemnation of the Ministers, and ended by praising them,and had spoken both for and against reducing the Go vernor's salary.'

The amendment was seconded by Mr Edgerly. Dr. Kidd having replied denying any am biguity in Sir Maurice's address, the amend ment was put and lost, and the motion was carried. A large number refrained from voting. Sir Maurice having returned thanks the meeting then closed.

LATTER-DAY PROVERBS.

PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY.

£100 v. 13s 6d.

The Waterbury Watch will keep mean time or apparent time, Greonwich or Hono lulu, Sidereal or Solar; in fact any time except tram time, which passes all under standing.

Why should I give £5 or £10 for a watch that has to be perpetually undergoing re pairs, and at the best of times cannot be re lied on, when I can buy a perfectly reliable, stong, and handsome Waterbury Watch for 13s 6d ?

The Waterbury Watch is cheap because it contains less mechanism than any other, and can be repaired at less cost. But it goes 60 minutes to the hour regularly all the time ; that's why the factory has to be enlarged and the agencies extended.

" As far as the Waterbury is concerned, I can give you my testimonial in a few words. The longer I wear the watch tho better I like it. It is always true to time."— Edward Kennedy, Manager Berrima Colliery.

Parents, teach your children to be in time. As soon as your boy can read the time of day, give him a watch ; teach him how to take care of it and always be in time. No need to buy a costly one. The Waterbury is the very best watch for the purpose, and will always keep the boy on time.

The Waterbury Watch Company don't claim to give you an 18-carat Gold Chrono meter with your name engraved on it, and a Gold Chain to hang it on, for 13s 6d. But they do claim to f>^ve you a strong, accurate, durable timekeeper for the money, and don't you forget it.

The Waterbury Watch is cheap, simple, strong, durable, massive, and exact. The case is plain nickel, wearing equal to silver, and the movement is guaranteed to keep time, if used with ordinary care, equal to the best English watches, and better than any of the cheap ones.

The Waterbury would not be the cheapest watch in the world if it could not be re paired cheaply when required. The Com pany undertakes this responsibility at a nominal cost, never exceeding 2s 6d. The Waterbury Watch is a keyless stem winder, unequalled in the world for ac curacy, reliability, and the strength and beauty of its finish. It is sold everywhere for 13s 6d. Price, 13s 6d. Post free, 14s 3d. E. PORTER & CO., Agents, Auckland.
