THE NEW PARLIAMENT.

Biographies of Members.

AUCKLAND

To none of the members of the new House of Representatives does the description " an old colonial hand " apply with better truth than to Edwin JMitchelson, the chosen of the Eden electors. He is a colonial by birth and by sentiment to the very marrow. Mr Mibchelson is just m the forties, and therefore just in the prime ot his manhood. He is an enthusiastic yaclit3 ■ man, a patron of the turf, and, indeed, all other kinds of sport, and just now he, with three other Auckland gentlemen, has several racehorses in training in Victoria for competition in the "classic1 races of the sister colony. It is related of him that on one of his journeys in the interior of this island, while Minister of Public Works, he accomplished the feat of walking from the Upper Mokau to one of the tributaries of the Wanganui River—43 miles of moun tainous, trackless country—in fourteen hours. The hardy Taranaki bushmen and natives who accompanied him were quite astonished at the endurance of " Minita Miterahena," and still quote it as a great feat. In early life he learned the trade of a carpenter, but subsequently becoming associated with Mr J. M. Dargaville, he took a prominent part with that gentleman in developing the resources of the Upper Wairoa district. The work of subduing the wilderness brought him well-deserved emoluments, and he is now the senior partner of the well known wholesale firm of E. Mitchelson and Co., of Auckland and Wairoa. Elected several years ago to the representation of Marsden, though no speaker he became known as a good, practical man, who could be depended upon—a man who said what he meant, and did what he said. His selection by Major Atkinson as Minister of Public Works caused considerable sur prise at the time, as it was thought that some more prominent Auckland member would be chosen. - When- Mr--Wy-nne- Williams", the meffiber of n; Christchurch constituency (and who, by the way, had oc cupied a seat in the House close to Mr Mitchelson tor two sessions), was asked to guess who had been appointed Minister of Public Works, he mentioned 30 names and then "gave it up," as the children say when a difficult conundrum is propounded. "' Mitchelson is the man," was the answer of his questioner. " Mitchelson !" said old Williams, screwing his eye-glass into his eye with well-feigned surprise. " Mitchel eon ! Who the devil is Mitchelson ? Don't know the man." This story, which has the merit of being true, is an evidence of the unobtrusiveness of the new member for Eden. Once fairly installed in office, however, his evident capacity for the work he had undertaken won for him "golden opinions of all sorts of people," and it is confidently predicted that when the whirli gig of time again places his party on the Treasury benches he will stand a good chance of being again selected for the same office.

Alfbed J. Cabman, M.H.R. for Coro mandel, is, like Mr Mitchelson, a colonial in eveiy respect. He was a schoolmate of the ex-Minister of Public Works, and there is a hoary tradition that both being of about equal age and strength, boy-like, the future legislators had more than one fistic en counter on old Barrack Green—before that celebrated spot was mowed and shrubbed and parterred into Albert Park. Mr Cad man's father was intimately connected with the Cape Colville Peninsula from early in .the fifties, and ie was to him that the first New Zealand miner's right was issued — a historic document which is still cherished in the archives of the Cadman family. Young Alfred early took apart in public life. On the inauguration of the county system he became first Chairman of the Coromandel County Council, and has continued to act in that capacity ever since. He has sat for Coromandei since 1881, and being an ad vanced Liberal, was for sevei-al years in close political accord with Sir George Grey.

Hamilton, Wednesday. A meeting of the Hamilton Domain Board was held on Tuesday evening. Present: His Worship the Mayor, Messrs Hatrick, Jones, Knox and Missen. The only busi ness before the meeting was in connection with the opening of the drain through Lots 8, 9 and 10, instead of through Mr Jolly's property. The engineer re ported the advisability of the drain being taken by Mr Northcroft's late residence, or through Mr Jolly's land as at present. The cost, the engineer stated, would be about £62 each, the original plan being in excess of the latter in the cost of about £100. The engineer was authorised to get out specifications and call for tenders, the same to be considered at a meeting to be held on Monday next. Messrs S. E. G. Smith and J. R. E. Hat rick have sent in their resignations as mem bers of the Hamilton Borough Council.

CORRESPONDENCE.

The Elected of Auckland West.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —As one who has consistently opposed Mr Goldie for years, and especially at last Monday's election, on account, of his malignant intolerance to my faith, I was gratified beyond measure at reading the remarks to which he gave utterance at the official declaration of the poll yesterday. A statesman in the true sense is he who towers high above party or sect, recognising his people as a whole and inculcating in them that fraternity and goodwill the absence of which in a nation mean? chaos and misery and degradation. Mr Goldie now perceives the utility of this great principle, and his public recantation, if I may so describe it, is but the forerunner of that friendship between himself and a large section of hla fellow-colonists the estrange ment of whom for so long he has none other to blame but himself.—l am, etc., Jitstitia.
