THE NEW PARLIAMENT.

Biographies of Members.

WE give below biographies of a number of the members of the new Parliament. We shall continue the series :—

WELLINGTON.

A. Stuart Menteath, the new member for Te Aro, was member for Inangahua in the last Parliament, having beaten Mr Reeves by 21. During the last election he went into Parliament as a supporter of the Stout - Vogel Ministry, but was unable from political relations to continue his support of the party. Mr Menteath belongs to a very old Scotch family of title, and was educated in France. He came to Wellington in 1873, was employed in the National Bank in that city, and sub sequently acted as manager of the branch of that bank at Reefton, Kumara, and Lyell. He left Reefton in 1880, and going to England was called to the bar (Middle Temple) in 1882. He returned to New Zealand in 1883, and afterwards con tested the Inangahua seat in the House of Representatives with Mr Reeves, with the result stated. Mr Menteath is heir-ap parent to a baronetcy.

C. B. Izard, M.A., is well known to most of the citizens of Wellington. He arrived in New Zealand in 1860, and after practising as a solicitor for a short time in Auckland came to Wellington, where he practised his profession with success until 1885, when he retired into private life. Mr Izard was born at Brighton, Sussex, and educated at King's College, Cambridge. He became a member of Lincoln Inn, and was called to the bar in 1857. Mr Izard was Crown Prosecutor in Wellington for a number of years, a position from which he retired in 1875.

INVERCARGILL.

Joseph George Ward, who has been elected for Awarua by a large majority, was born in Victoria thirty years ago, and came to the Bluff with his parents when five years old. He was for some time en gaged in a mercantile office. At 21 he be came member of the Town Council, and three years later was elected Mayor of the Bluff, which position he held for nve years. He has also served his district as mem ber of the Bluff, on the Harbour Board of which he has been Chairman four years running. He has been connected with every public institution at the port, whose interests he loses no opportunity of advanc ing. He is also captain of the Bluff Rifles, and in short only a man of great energy could do justice to all his manifold engagements of a public and private character. He some years ago embarked in the grain trade, and has built Tip one of the largest businesses in the colony, with an office at Invercargill and spacious stores at the Bluff. Politically he is aLiberal and protectionist; would make Bible reading in schools optional with committees, would support a well-considered scheme of retrenchment, making railway re form a strong point in his programme. He has been a lifelong abstainer, but thinks the present Licensing Act goes far enough in the direction of local option. Mr Ward is very popular both in public and private life, is a clear and forcible speaker, and has some practical knowledge and training in public business. He should take a good position in I the House.

Db. HoiJfikixsox, who has been returned for Wallace by three votes, represented the district in Parliament prior to 1879, The doctor's parliamentary career is remarkable from the fact that during one session ho simply charged expenses, and refused to accept the balance of his honorarium. He favours the curtailment of borrowing, and would go in for radical retrenchment. He ■would maintain the education system, but limit primary school teaching to the fourth standard, and economise hi the High Schools. The Bible he wopld have read before ordinary school houi1.?. As to pro tection and free trade, ha holds that the Customs tariff shoutyl be f teimed to meet the circumstances of the colony. Ho has a great dislike to Sir Julius Vogel's con tinuance in office. The doctor, who is well up in years, is scholarly and philo sophical in style of speech, and in this res pect is a decided improvement on his pre decessor, Mr H. Hirst, who seldom troubled the House with his views.

Cittiibekt Cowax, re-elected for Hokonui, will be in opposition to the Government. He •will insist on large retrenchment, favours Bible-reading with time table and con science clause, and objects to increasing the property tax and customs. He took a very active part in the negotiations lead ing up to the purchase of the Waimea Plains railway by the Government. He has good knowledge of political questions and local government, and will be very useful oai committees appointed by the House to deal with those subjects. He is not a brilliant speaker—solid rather than showy^-but able to express his ideas clearly.

Captain McKen'zie, the chosen of Wai kaia/by three votes, represented Matauradis triot from 1881 to 1884. He has previously been in the Provincial Council. He is a fvee trader, retrencher, and is if anything of Conservative tendencies. He is an old In dian army officer, bub bears his years well, and is unrivalled as a political tactician. He is all there in the lobby, and when oc casion demands it a strong out-spoken de bater, rough and ready, but none the less effective. Taken altogether, a sturdy character, and one well able to hold his own.

G. F. Rtchabdson, re-elected for Mataura, is a surveyor by profession, has been for many years member of the Southland County Council, and is thorough master of local government. He takes a great and in telligent interest in public works, and was regarded in the last House as a possible Minister of that department. He took a prominent part in the debate on the Re presentation Bill last session, and argued point after point with Sir Robert Stout, with whom he more than held his own, winning praise from Sir George Grey for the ability displayed. He is a firm tree trader, would support Bible - i-ead ing with a time - table and conscience clause ; is in the prime'of life, and has great practical knowledge added to the power of giving terse and forcible express-ion to his views on a wide range of subjects.

Henry Feldwick, who represented Inver cargill in two previous Parliaments, was whip to the Grey Cabinet. He is in op position to the Ministry, strongly advocates a system of intelligent protection, is opposed to the property tax, believes the present licensing laws give people sufficient power, and would supportßible-readingwithatime table and conscience clause. He will main tain -the present system of education, but thinks the cost can be considerably reduced. When previously in the House he took a leading part in introducing measures affecting workmen, wages, mortgages, etc. He is always found on the Liberal side of the House; is not so voluble as his predeces sor, Mr Hatcij, but quite able to put his opinions lucidly. Jadging by past records, ho will be an energetic and industrious .member. He has been a member of the

Education Board, is captain of the Artillery I'.sttcry, and has taken an active part in various local movements.

SHIPWRECKED SAILORS.

THIRTEEN CASTAWAYS ON

THE CROZETS

A PECULIAR MESSENGER.

(BY TELEGRAPH—OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Wellington, this day. The Government have received information in reference to the supposed castaways at the Crozets to the effect that an albatross was picked up at Fremantlo with a tin ring on its neck, bearing an inscription in French, setting forth that 13 persons took refuge on the Islands on the 4th August last. The South Australian Government have communicated with Admiral Fairfax on the subject.

HOSPITAL BOARD.

The adjourned monthly meeting of the Hospital and Charitable Aid Board was held last evening. Present:— Messrs Mays (presiding), Crowther, Niccol, Kidd, Udy, Suiter, Isaacs.

Patients. — The Secretary reported that there were at present 96 patients in the Hospital, 60 male and 20 female patients in the Upper Refuge, and 40 men • and 15 women in the Lower Refuge.

Salary.—Tho House Committee recom mended an increase of the engineer's salary to £100 per annum. Also, that the Small pox Hospital remain in its present position : Adopted. Fees.—James McMahon asked that an account of £1 14s, Hospital fees for Joseph Harris, in destitute circumstances, be can celled : Agreed to. Accounts.—Mr M. Niccol moved in ac cordance with notice of motion, "That all Hospital and Refuge accounts be submitted to tho House Committee and all Charitable Aid accounts, to the Charitable Aid Com mittee, to be by them initialled and passed on to the Board " : Agreed to. Standing Orders.—MrNiccolalso moved, and it was agreed, "That the Honse Com mittee prepare and submit standing orders to regulate the business of the Board." CoSTLEY Funds.—The Chairman drew attention to Dr. Girdler's statement that the cost of the auxiliary wards was £3,000, and that the same had been taken from the Costley funds. The Cosiley bequest was £12,130 to the Hospital and £12,150 to the Refuge. The interest on this sum un to the 31st March last wass £2,800, which had been applied to the maintenance of the two institutions. The cost of the building was £1,475, and not £3,000 as stated, and the money was not taken from the Costley fund.—On the motion of Mr Suiter, the Chairman and Messrs Isaacs and Kidd were appointed a Committee to report as the best method of investing the Costley bequest.—The Board then went into com mittee to consider the future management pf the Hospital.

BISHOP HADFIELD ON EDUCATION.

(IJV TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

Wellington", Wednesday

The Wellington Diocesan Synod was opened to-day. The Bishop of Wellington in his opening address said that.in addressing the Synod last year,he mentioned two subjects of importance, one of which was the need foe-some understanding as to what the canons of the Primitive Church or Church of England should be deemed to be in force in colonial churches, and the other the cus tom of the Bishop of London to issue licenses to clergymen in the colonies and in the mission field, who some times relied on these to justify opposi tion to the Bishop whom, according to ecclesiastical usage,- they were bound to obey. Having received from His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury an invitation to attend the conference of bishops at Lambeth next year, he had excused himself on the ground of advanced age, and had. ventured to suggest that these two subjects might be brought under the notice of the assembled bishops. His Grace in reply had assured him that the suggestion would receive care ful consideration ; and said in reference to licenses, " the Bishop.of London will guard his licenses to clergymen abroad in such a way that they may not avail in any consti tuted diocese. There is evidently some mis use of these licenses, which were never in tended to be used as they appear to have been." Referring to the education question, he said :—" The system of State education for children, which excludes all teaching on religion, all acknowledgment of God to whom all are responsible, seems to be something altogether unprecedented. Every civilised heathen nation,of whatever period of the world's history, of which we know anything, taught the young to reverence a divine superintending Power. The abso lute exclusion in the State Schools of any distinct teaching of man's duty to a Supreme Ruler, to say nothing of the ab sence of Christian doctrine, has apparently to bo left for the Legislature of New Zea land. In this it has certainly gained for it self an unenviable notoriety." Theenormous expense of the system was leading men to look more closely into the subject, and the general feeling, he thought, was that the results were hardly worth the expenditure of something like half a million annually. It would, doubtless, be very difficult to estimate these results; but after such an expensive system had been tiled for eight or nine years, it ought to be possible to point to some very de finite result which had been obtained by it. But was this possible? It was, he believed, an open question whether there was even a higher percentage now of those who could read and write thau there was before the system came into operation. But what ought to be the true test was—are those who have grown under the present system in any respect superior to those who were before thenl ? A strong opinion ex isted that they were not. In conclusion, he ventured to express the opinion that already exists throughout the world, the wide spread conviction that is every day gaining ground, that no system of education can be satisfactory that > does not supply definite religious teaching ; and that such definite teaching can only be given, in a country governed as this is, by leaving each so called religious denomination full liberty to teach its own children.

CORRESPONDENCE.

The Devonport Water Scheme.

(To the Editor.) Sib,—With your permission, Mr Editor, I would like to throw a few hints upon the Devonporb water scheme. lam very anx ious that this delicate infanb borough should bo well looked after and pro vided with a healthy web-nurse. It has already suffered much from the yellow fever, and is showing signs ot falling into rapid consumption (of ratepayers money!). There were, I understand, two or three schemes proposed in the Council. Tho first scheme provided for the water to flow by gravitation from the Lake, which is 11 feet 3 inches above high-water mark, thus giving sufficient Ml to bring it along the coast to the Narrow Neck, thence across the swamp into a well provided for it at the foot or Mount Victoria, and to be pumped from there into a reservoir at the top. Why was this scheme not entertained? I find by Mr Philcox s letter that he advocated this scheme from the beginning. Mr Philoox is a shrewd and practical mechanic, well _ able to grasp the advantages and difficulties ot such a scheme. .1 believe with him that it may be quite possible to supply Devon port by that means for thousands of pounds less than the proposed £10,000 scheme. The cost of pumps and machinery would be less by nearly £2,000, and the saving in smaller pipes required for this scheme would provide nearly £2,000 worth of dis tributing pipes in the borough. This would be quite suflicient to fiupply our needs for the next, fifteen years (the usual life of iron pipes). At the end of that period they could be replaced by larger pipes, if necessary. But this, it seems, would not suit some individuals, who, being largely interested in land adjoining Lake Road, hoped to be able to tap the main and get -from it a supply of water, which would enhance consider ably the value of their land, and, by a little side wind in tho Coun cil Chambers, they were able to steer to this quarter, and this is done, remember, at the expense of the ratepayers, to the extent of four or live thousand pounds. Besides, pumping at the Lake would be very expensive, owing to the heavy fric tion in forcing the water up and down the gullies it would have to pass along that road. If thoy do pump at the Lake, the best plan would be to build a water tower by the trig station high enough to supply the whole district, even to Birkenhcad if required.—l am, etc, R. J. Robishts.

Bicycle Club Opening Run.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—l see that one of your correspondents has a complaint to make respecting the Waitemata Bicycle Club. I am happy to say, however, that the Club have no desire to confine their opening run to members only. On the contrary^ they will be very glad to see all the cyclists of Auckland taking part on Saturday. The parade will commence at 2.45 at the firebell, foot of Grey-street, when I hope there will be a good muster.—Youi'a, etc., J. A. Coopkb, Hon. Sec. Waitemata Bicycle Club.

The Newton Election.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —I believe lam expressing the general opinion of the majority of the community when I state that the political action on the part of the Newton electors in rejecting the Hon. Joseph A. Tole as their repre sentative in the Parliament of New Zealand was both unwise and ungenerous. What the Newton electors could have against one of the most honourable politicians Auckland ever produced, one in whom the constitu ency could always trust, having faithfully represented the electors for the past twelve years, is beyond the comprehension of tho intelligent classes of the community. And to show that this is so, I would suggest that a petition be circulated for signatures from all classes, expressing their sympathy for the Hon. J. A. Tole in his late political de feat. —I am, etc., Elector.

Insurance Rates.

(To the Editor:)

Sir, —Your correspondent " Veritas " seems to have got his back up when reading about honest and dishonest insurers. He is aside, however, from the aim of my letter, and needs no reply. Our insurance rates are, by a half too much, the fires are in creasing, and the companies are getting no dividends like when the tariff was low, and all this seems to be their own fault. This is a bad state of matters for the public who have to insure, and some may think that they may as well go to the Bankruptcy Court by way of a fire, if such a calamity should occur, as pay what they cannot afford to an insurance agent. The substance of my letter did not imply honesty as the only power in keeping down fires, for few men wjll care to have a fire with only two-thirds of their property insured, and insurance companies will not see to this and have no competent officers for the purpose. My suggestion for a protective association was only on consideration that the tariff was not reduced to a reasonable figure. If an association of tradespeople and others unite and fair judgment be used, and their premiums put into the bank instead of paid to insurance agents, there is every chance at the end of the year of the money being available for another year, and something like this aeems the only way out of the overburdened insurer's trouble.—lam, etc., Insurer.

Sir Robert Stout.

(To the Editor.)

Sik,—-The determination of Sir Robert Stout not to re-enter political life, because he has been defeated for Dunedin, can scarcely be called manly. It is no very unusual thing for prominent politicians in the Old Country to be unseated at a general election. When such is the case, they do not act like a spoiled child, who must have the one particular toy it wants or none, but accept a"seat vacated for them by some member of their own party.

The Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, when rejected by South West Lancashire, would have been without a seat in the House if he had not been returned at the same time by Greenwich, although he had positively de clined to stand, for that borough. How ever, instead of retiring when he found he could not get what he wanted, he quietly and sensibly took the one he could get. It is therefore to be hoped that the late Premier will reconsider the matter.—l am, yours, etc., City West.
