THE NEW PARLIAMENT.

BIOGRAPHIES OF THE NEW MINISTERS.

Mr G. F. Richardson, who has been a3 signed the important portfolio of Lands, will be found one of the earliest pioneers of Otago, he having arrived in 1851, while three years later he drove the first cattle south of the Clutha in order to take up country on the Lower Mataura. He is a surveyor by profession, has been a member of the Southland County Council since the abolition of the Provinces,and is a thorough master of local government. He joined the Government Survey in 1860, under the present Surveyor-General, having been his first cadet, and with the exception of the yeai's 1863-64, when he was town engineer for Invercargill, was in the Government service as District Surveyor till 18S0, and has since been en gaged in his profession as a surveyor E,nd Civil engineer. He has always taken a keen interest in land settlement, and last session strongly advocated the removing of restrictions to settlement, and allowing settlers to elect the system under which they would take their land, and will doubt less now introduce legislation to give effect to his views. Mr Richardson having been ft large farmer at Mataura, speaks on the land question from practical experience. He was principal whip for the Opposition last session, and has been Chairman of the Local Bills Committee since 1885.

Mr T. W. Hislop is a son of the late Under-Secretary for Education. He was educated in Otago, and is the first Otago High School scholar who has held a seat in the colonial Cabinet. In 1870 he was ad mitted barrister and solicitor, and com menced his practice in Oamaru that year, being appointed Crown Prosecutor for Oamaru in 1872. In 1876 he resigned that office in order to contest the Oamaru seat in the House of Representatives, and was re turned. Hff did not seek re-election at the general election, and was reappointed Crown Prosecutor in the beginning of 1880, and continued as such till 1885, when he again re-entered Parliament. Towards the close of the session he gained some prominence by se.erely dressing down Sir Robert Stout on the Land Transfer Act, and in ISB6 moved a want-of-confidence motion in the Government as then constituted, the resolution being aimed at Sir Julius Vogel, which was only negatived by a bare majority. This is tho first time North Otago has held a seat in the Cabinet.

PRESS OPINIONS ON THE MINISTRY.

(BY TELKOBAFir.—-SPECIAL KEPORTEK.)

Dunedin, this day. The "Star" declines to express an opinion on the Ministry till they formulate their policy. The Otago " Daily Times " is dissatisfied at Mr Scobie McKenzie's exclusion. It says: " Whether Major Atkinson succeeds in conciliating the feeling that prevails in Otago that he cannot bo trusted to do justice to our interests by the ex traordinary number of minor Minis ters given this province remains to be seen. He would have given more satisfac tion in these parts by placing Mr Richard son at the head of the Public Works Oih'ce if there had been only two Otago men in the Cabinet. Mr Hislop can think, Mr Fergus can talk, and Mr Fisher can do a little in both lines, whilst Major Atkinson is a host in himself in administration. Nearly the whole burden will fall upon his shoulders. It is to be hoped that Mr Mitchel son will fulfil the promise he gave in the last administration of giving satisfaction as Minister oi: Works. Mr Richardson should work a much-needed reform in the Land ' Office. By the strange coincidence of cir cumstances, and the exclusion from his Cabinet of men of the stoutest stuff in his party, Major Atkinson has become supreme master of the colony .which, three weeks £»cro, expressed euch strong distrust of him. ife's the Government to an extent that has probably never been equalled in any pre vious administration. All we can hope is that he will bring down a policy which will justify our placing confidence in him and in the Cabinet, of whom at present we cannot expect any * great things.'

Wellington, this day.

Commenting on thd choice of colleagues under the new Premier in the forming of his Cabinet, the "Press" last night says .— •'Major Atkinson has taken advantage of the unfettered discretion allowed him by those who have chosen him for their leader to try the boldest experiment in Cabinet making that wa? ever ventured upon in this colony. That he has placed a severe strain upon the loyalty of his party carinot be denied. It is a strain which only a very good party could bear, but we are confident that they will bear it, and bear it nobly. They were not trifling with their leader or themselves when they requested him to form a Go vernment to carry out a policy of retrench ment. It stood to reason that in under taking such a task he was to choose his colleagues where he would. With a view to executing his ovmpkTssforcompassingthe end setbeforehira.he has chosen them to suit himself.and not to suib anybody else, and his choicemustbeloyally and cheerfully adopted as the choice of the party. That there are disappointments and heart-burnings, and differences of opinion as to whether this man should have been taken in or that man left out of the Government, goes with out saying. The party do not pretend to be superior to human nature, but while they may be dissatisfied individually with individual appointments at the first blush of the thing, they are staunch as a party to the Government whom their chief has formed, they realise his difficulties, and they assume his best motives, and it shall not be their fault if he ever has to regret the course he has taken."

FINANCIAL REFORM ASSOCIATION.

The monthly meeting of the Auckland Political Financial Reform Association wan held in the Victoria Arcade last night, Mr John Buchanan being chair man, and some 20 members being present. The report of the Committee for the past month was as follows :—" In offering their fourth monthly report, the Committee feel justified in congratulating the members on the result of the late general election—a large number of the representatives in both islands having been elected on the dis tinct and clearly-expressed understanding that the chief objects for which this Association was called into existence should be advocated in and embodied by Acts of the now Legislature. A work of some difficulty admittedly exists to accomplish this to the full extent required, but your Committee therefore consider that an intelligent activity and vigilance is more than ever needed on the part of the public. The attention of members should be directed to the action of the representatives and of the Ministry, and whenever such should be found necessary, every legitimate and constitutional means should be adopted to support and strengthen their hands in effecting extensive reductions in the cost of the public service, without impairing its efficiency, These, they repeat, should com mence with the salary of the (Jovernor and allowances, also with Ministers in number, and their salaries and allowances, and at as early a date as possible reducing the num ber of members and the amount of the honor arium paid to them ; following immediately, a re-organisation should be effected of the whole Civil Service, with a view to retrench ment being made in the present enormous and unnecessary cost in the various depart ments. Since the last monthly meeting the Committee have held five meetings, and a deputation from their number attended on two occasions at Newmarket, to assist in the formation of a branch of the Association in that locality, which they are glad to say is established with every indication of a con siderable number of residents becoming active members. Report of both these meetings were published in the Auckland newspapers. Considerable misapprehen sion seems to have arisen as to the course the Committee adopted in publishing the names of those candidates who returned favourable satisfactory answers to the questions submitted to them. They had no wish, or intention to interfere with the choice the electors might feel inclined to make, or to support any individuals or party, but the Committee felt it was their duty to give the public information as to those gentlemen who most closely agreed with the platform which the Associa tion had promulgated. Invitations were addressed to 15 members of" the House of Representatives to attend a conference at the rooms of the Association prior to their departure for Wellington, and Sir G. Maurice O'Rorke, with five other members, met on the 3rd inst. a number of the Com mittee, and freely expressed their own views, and heard the opinions which the Associa tion held on the subjects of retrenchment, taxation, and cessation of borrowing. Com munications are being kept up with similar Associations in Cbristchurch, I)unedin, etc., requesting their continued co-operation in impressing on members of the Legislature the great importance of urging the neces sity for effecting extensive reforms in the administration of Government, and, above all, of reducing the cost of khe various de partments of the public service. The Committee are glad too state that Mr Goldie, M.H.R., the Vice-Chair man, has tendered hie valuable ser vices to give effect, so far as lies in his power, to the objects the Association have in view, and the chairmen and secretaries of kindred societies have already been re commended to place themselves in com munication with that gentleman. Before the next regular meeting of the Association takes place, the Ministry will have sub mitted their Financial Statement to the House of Representatives. Your Committee beg to report that they have arranged for all"Parliamentary papers and returns pre sented to the Legislature being sent to the Association ; and further have to assure you that all those bearing on finance or the public expenditure will be carefully scruti nised, and if considered advisable, com munications will be addressed without any delay to the responsible Minister, or to those members of the House whom it may be thought desirable. Should any import ant question arise which appears to the Committee the members of the Association should be consulted upon, a special meeting will be immediately convened for that pur pose.—John Buchanan, Chairman." The report was adopted. On the motion of Mr W. Duncan, seconded by Mr Burton, rule 2 of the Association was amended to read, "The object of the Association shall be to secure a large reduction in the public expenditure of the colony." The meeting decided, on the motion of Mr Burton,

" That the Chairman be empowered to com municate with some member of the House, requesting such member to ask from his place in the House—(l) The gross amount of additional expenditure entailed upon the Customs Department of the colony by the retirement of Mr W. Seed and the appoint ment of Mr H. S. McKellar to the office of Inspector of Customs in hie stead, and of Mr L. H. B. Wilson to be Assistant Secretary of Customs and the Assistant Secretary of the Marine Department, also in the room of Mr Seed ; and also of Mr W. Thompson, Glasgow,, to be Secretary of the Marine Department, Secretary of Customs, and Chief Inspector of Distilleries. (2) The ■ total increased burden thrown upon the colony by these appointments. (3) Upon whose recommen dations such appointments were made ? (4) Is it the intention of the present Govern ment to cancel these appointments with a view to economy ? . .

WHAT IT IS MADE OF. ♦ It is 6imply the most wonderful remedy the world has ever seen for the immediate relief and cure of rheumatism, neuralgia, and all painful diseases. Its remarkable action has mystified doctors, delighted sufferers, and dispelled the doubts of the most incredulous. Its virtues are praised by thousands all over the land, who have been rescued from years of suffering and torture with every species of disease,and granted anewleaseofhealthand activity. When physicians have certified to their inability to cure rheumatism, neuralgia, and ofchervery painful disorders bygiving up their patients to the stubborn claims of pro tracted disease and possible death itself, the St. Jacobs Oil, by its unpretensious merit, has gained in every instance yet greater fame from its almost magical influence over these diseases. This remedy lias no uncertain or miraculous history ; its decided power resides in a peculiar volatile oil, carefully distilled from the Pinus Sylvestris, and has been used and distri buted for hundreds of years by the inhabi tants' of the Black Forest, a mountainous and densely-wooded region in Baden and Wurtemburg, Germany. The introduction of the St. Jacobs Oil into Australia has been attended with the same distinguished results as have ever characterised its employment in America and Europe; and its adoption as the national remedy for rheumatism, neuralgia, and all painful diseases is assured. When it is considered that this wonderful pain-banisher and health-restorer can be had at all drug stores for such a small sum, it appears as a matter of duty to every sufferer with rheumatism, neuralgia, or kindred complaints to seek the relief which St. Jacobs Oil cannot fail to girt. Try it and you will be convinced.

Dear Sir,—lt has been on my mind for some 1 time now to drop you a line about your Patent Porridge Meal. I believe you are aware I have suffered considerably from injury to thestomach from tea-tasting, and having consulted my - medical adviser, he strongly reoommendod , Porridge for breakfast, which I have taken 1 until I heard of your Patent Porridge Meal. I i, may here say the Oatmeal coon caused unplea i, santness, sourness of the stomach, and pimples a and spots, with irritation, on the surface of the t body. From this I was glad to get away, and at once took to your Patent Porridge Meal. - With it I find none of the irregularities coin • plained of above, but a most palatable Porridge, r and the whole system free from unpleasantness 1 or irritation. I can strongly recommend it, and certainly think you should do a large trade in - such an excellent article.—Yours very truly, > (Signed) FREDK.
