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 :—

/ AUCKLAND.

Frederick Joseph Moss, who has been elected for/the fourth time to represent Par nell, was born at St. Helena in 1829. He was educated 'in South Africa, where he was brought up to mercantile pursuits. In the Kaffir War of 1846 he served as a volunteer, and subsequently travelled through Natal, Kaffraria, land adjacent countries with a view to settling, but finally resolved to settle in New Zealand. Proceeding to England, he thence set out for Canterbury, where he arrived in 1859, and was acti /c in estabhsh lishing thelVolunteer movement, being cap tain of the Lyttelton Company. He took no part in politics there, but was one of theearhest advocates of the Lyttelton-Christchurch tunnel. On the gold discovery at Otago Mr Moss transferred his business to Dune din, and commanded the first Volunteer corps raised^ there. Soon afterwards he was elected tto the Provincial Council, and became Provincial Treasurer and Secretary for Public W'brks. The Opposition at that time was led 'by Vogel, who subsequently eucceeded Moss as Treasurer. In 1868 Mr Moss visited Fiji and published a work on the islands, which led to a number of Otago Ipeople chartering a vessel and settling with him as cotton planters at the islands. Fail ing health compelled him to return to New Zealand, where lie became secretary to thefirst 'Auckland Education Board, but resigned in 1878, when he was returned to Parlia |ment as member for Parnell without op iposition. In politics, Mr Moss has always (been a democrat of moderate type, and as a •journalist fought* strenuously for the main tenance of the old jpro vincial system, which he regarded as essential to democratic institu tions in a country so peculiar in its physi cal character as New Zealand. Mr Moss's strong opposition; to the borrowing policy has gained for '.him the nickname of "Cassandra." H& is a protectionist, and though he voted for the Government on the no-confidencemotionbecauseof their support to the principle of (protection, he,will vote against the present coalition.

I . . • Edward Withy, the new member for Newton, is one of! the ablest men who has represented an Auckland constituency. Though he made |his free trade principles the gage of battle,* his return by the demo cratic electorate of Newton is chiefly due to the support accorded him by the temper ance bodies. As he is a capital speaker, a keen debater, 4nd has a character for straightforwardness and thoroughness, he should speedily t&ae a prominent position in Parliament. _Sr\ Withy is a native of Bristol, England, where he was born in 1844. He learnt the iron ship-building trade and started business on His ownaccount at West Hartlepool in 1869, retiring with a fortune in 1884. He was an ardent Liberal in politics at Home, and took aleading part in local go vernment. He was a member of the prin cipal engineering societies, including the Iron and Steel Institute and Societies of Mechanical Engineers and Naval Archi tects. He came" to the colony in 1884 for the purpose of settling his children, and took up his residenceHn Parnell. Since his arrival in the colony he has taken a great interest in the temperance movement, being a member of the New Zealand Alliance. Hois opposed to theStout-Yogel Government, and advocates land nationalisation. He is a member of the Free Methodist body. . ~ Thomas Peacock, who has been elected for the Ponsonby seat after a keen Contest, is a native of Glasgow, where he was born in 1837, and where he learned his trade that of optician and mathematical instru ment maker. He arrived in the colony in 1862, and took an active part in the develop ment of the goldfields in the Cape Colville peninsula. He has since been identified with the coal-mining and timber industries. He entered the City Council 1878, and was elected Mayor the same year,.being re elected for a second term in 1879. He has served as a member of Education Board and Chamber of Commerce, is President of a Building Society, a trustee of the Auck land Savings Bank, and director of a number of public companies. He was elected to represent Auckland North in 1881, his opponent being W. L. Rees. In 1884 he stood for iNewton, and was elected, beating Mr De Lautour by a sub stantial majority. While in the House, he took a prominent part in the passage of commercial legislation.; When the Stout- Vogel Government was formed, he was offered a portfolio by Sir Julius, but refused to accept it, Mr Larnach being subsequently appointed. Hitherto he has followed Major Atkinson, but now declines to name any leader. While rejecting extreme protec tion, be is in favour of temporary aid to local industries through the tariff. He will vote for a iepeal of thej property tax, and the substitution of a land and income tax. He will support the abolition of plural voting, and believes Parliamentary elections should be conducted under Hare's system. He favours the facilitation of land settlement

in moderate areas undei1 freehold tenure. Mr Peacock is a leading member of. the ~"?

T. Thompson, who "has been re-elected for Auckland N-ecfch, is a native of County Cork, where he wasborn 54 years ago. He \ was apprenticed to the provision trade, but in 1852 he became infected with the gold fever and emigrated to Victoria. He re mained in that colony for several years, but his health becoming impaired, he de cided to visit New Zealand to recuperate. He arrived in Auckland in 1855, and, liking the. place, decided to remain. He started a grocery store, which he kept until 1883, when he retired from business with a com petency. He was for six years a member of the City Council, and for three years a member of the Harbour Board, and while connected with these local bodies was noted as an advocate of retrenchment, and for his practical turn of mind. He was elected to the House at the general election of 1884, and has always been regarded as an advanced Liberal. He is opposed to the Stout-Vogel Government, and considers coalition Ministries a menace to the safety of the State. He favours tariff assistance to local industries, but is not a prohibitive protectionist. He was one of the founders of the Auckland Permanent Building Society, and served through the Maori war as a Volunteer, having been enrolled in 1858. He is a member of the Church of England; David Goldie, the chosen candidate of Auckland West, is son of one of the earliest free emigrants to Tasmania, where he was born in 1842. He served his apprentice ship as a carpenter, and arrived in Auck land in 1863. After working at his trade for some years he commenced business in a small way as a timber merchant, and by industry, frugality and business rectitude worked himself into a leading position in that business. In 1874 he was returned as member for Auckland West in the Pro vincial council, and continued, a member of that body until its dissolution by the Abolition of Provinces Act. liti 1879 he was elected to represent Auckland West in Parlia ment as a supporter of secular education, beating his opponent, Mr Peter Dignan, de nominationalist, by 500 votes. On the dissolution at the end of the' session of '79 he declined to stand again, as his business, demanded his sole, attention. He has for the last nine years been a member of the City Council, and for seven ysars a member of the Education Board, and is also a member 6i tlie Barbour

Board and Charitable Aid Board. He has been Grandmaster of Orangemen, North Island, President of the N.Z. Order of Good Templars, Vice-President of N.Z. Alliance, and is regarded as the most uncompromis ing teetotaller in Auckland. He is un questionably an able, fluent speaker, with a wonderful grasp and power of demonstrat ing figures, and is an untiring worker. He has always been a persistent advocate of retrenchment, and is not "mealy mouthed " in expressing his views on any subject. . Though Presbyterian by birth, he has for years been identified with the Primi tive Methodist connection, and takes great interest in Sunday School work. Hrr-wuT opposetherG©ver-nm_nte Richd. Monk, who has been re-elected for Waitemata, is one of the oldest residents of the colony. He is 54 years of age, and came to New Zealand with his father when quite a child. His father settled at Hokianga years before the proclamation of British sovereignty. In 1849 young Monk went to California,' and then followed the gold hunters to Australia, returning to New Zea land about 1853, when he learned the car pentering trade. While travelling about he had picked up some notions regarding the introduction of machinery in joinery, aud established a factory at the corner of Queen and Grey-streets, Auckland, which in after years developed into the Union Sash and Door Company. He was the first man to introduce steam joinery into the colonies, and has always been regarded as a leading authority on the erection of timber mills and matters effecting 'the timber industry. In 1881 lie stood for Parnell as an ante-Greyite, but was beaten. The speeches made during his candidature were clever denunciations of the public policy, and attracted no little at tention. He was elected to the House in 1886 to fill the vacancy caused by Mr Hurt's death, and while contesting that election was the first public man in the colony to emphasise the demand for retrenchment, which in a few months became what Sir Robert Stout has called "a perfect roar." He is a' skilled native lin guist, and will probably have con siderable influence over the Maori vote. He voted against the Government last session, and will oppose any combina tion in the new Parliament that will not carry out rigid retrenchment.

F. Lawry, the new member for Frank lin North, was born near Cheddar Valley, Somerset, and was brought up as a farmer. He emigrated to Auckland in 1864. He has been for many years Chairman of Epsom Local Board, and is a member of North Auckland Cattle Board and Board of Edu cation. He twice previously contested a seat in Parliament, unsuccessfully, being oncedefeatedby Major Hamlin, for Franklin North, and once by Sir G. M. O'Rorke, for Manukau. Mr Lawry is universally popular with the farmers. In politics he is an advanced Liberal, and opposed to the Government as at present constituted. Ho is a member of the Wesleyan body. Major Jackson, the chosen of Waipa, sat for this constituency many years ago. During the Waikato war, he raised the celebrated corpus of Forest Bangers, who gave such a good account of themselves all through the arcruous campaign. _ He ex hibited great courage at Waiari and Orakau, and was\ fairly idolised by the colonial forces. Since the war he has been engaged in farming pursuits, but has con tinued to take an' interest in Volunteer matters, being commander of Waikato cavalry. Mr Jackson ha\ a brusque manner, but is distinguished fos great kindliness of heart. He will oppose the Govern ment.

WANGANUI.

John Ballance came to the colony in 1866, and settled in Wanganui, starting the " Wanganui Herald " in 1867, a paper in which he still retains the principal interest. During the Maori war he held a commission as cornet in the Wanganui Cavalry, but his commission was cancelled in January, 1869, by Colonel Haultain, then Defence Minister, because of the outspoken criticism of the " Herald." The first time he came forward for Parliament was in 1872, when he stood for Egmont against Major Atkin son and Mr Moorhouso. Major Atkinson was the Stafford candidate, and Mr Moor house favoured the Fox-Vogel Government. Finding the votes on the Patea side in sufficient to carry hias through,^ being over weighted by the'Taranaki votes, he, at the suggestion of Sir E. W. Stafford, withdrew in favour of Major Atkinson. In 1875, Mr Ballance came forward for Rangi tikei, standing against Messrs W. H. Watt and W. Hutchinson (now in Dunedin.) He won that contest and in 1876 stood again for the same seat against Mr J. Bull, a local magnate, and won by a large majority. In 1879 Sir W. Fox brought forward a nominee for Rangi tikei, and stood himself for Wanganui. Mr Ballance determined to face Sir W. Fox himself, and stood for Wanganui with Mr Bryce, two members being required. Mr Ballance was elected. In 1881 Mr W. H. Watt beat Mr Ballance for-' Wanganui by four votes, but in 1884 Mr Ballance was again successful, beating Messrs Watt and G. Hutchison. He held office as Colonial Treasurer, Commissioner of Customs and Education in the Grey Ministry,introducing the Beer and Land Tax, and brought into force the Education Act on its present ad ministrative basis with the assistance of Dr Hislop, and though a difficulty arose as to funds, the whole thing was in working order when he left office. He has held the positions of Minister of Lands, Native and Defence,, in the Stout-Vogel Government, and is noted as the originator of the "One Policeman Policy," Village Settlement and other land schemes.

OTAGO.

James Allen was born on February loth, 1855, in Australia, and came to. New Zealand about 1858, He was taken to England in 1861 to be educated, and was" placed at a private school 'in 1862, and remained there till 1869, when he was sent to Clifton College, where he remained till 1874.' While at Clifton, he gained a National Science scholarship or exhibition, tenable for. three years at St. John's College, Cambridge. He proceeded to Cambridge in 1874, and took an honor B.A. degree in 1877. He represented his University for two years in the. annual inter-University football match, rowed twice in the trial eights for the Uni versity, and was first captain of his own College boat at the Club. He left college in 1877, and returned at once to New Zea land. From 1877 to 1883 he resided in Dunedin. During three years of that time he represented Leith Ward in the City Council. For several years he was a mem ber of the Anglican Church Synod, and for two years occupied the position of Lay Secre tary to the Synod. About 1882 he began to take an interest in mining and miner alogy, and attended Professor Ulrich's course of lectures. He went to England in 1883, and continued his studies at the Royal School of Mines, South Kensington, where he passed the examination in metal lurgy equal to first in the first class, and received the Bessemer medal. Passed the following year also first in first class jn the geology course, receiving the Sir Roderick Murcliison medal. He returned to the colony last year. Mr Allen has always taken a great interest in athletic and out door sports, and captained to victory the. Otago football team agrainst New South; Wales in 1883, and the interprovincial team against Canterbury.

James Fulton arrived in Otago in January, 1849, and was appointed to the Commission of the Peace three years later. He was engaged in pastoral pursuits at West Taieri for abouttyventy years, and then sold ouc bo his brother JT_6j__i_. .In iß_3 he

was appointed R.M. at West Taieri. He was subsequently transferred to Port Chalmers, andafterwards held theposition of Assistant Stipendiary Magistrate in Dunedin till 1870 He remained magistrate at the Taien until his election to the House of Representatives in September, 1879, on the retirement of Mr Donald Reid, when he defeated Mr William Snow, and has represented the constituency ever since. In 1882 he was elected without opposition, and at the general election of 1884 he defeated Mr Carncross by seventy-six votes. Durrag his official career he has held the offices of Registration and Returning Offi cer, Coroner, etc. In 1876 he was elected first Chairman for the Taien County Council. In the early years of the Otago Boys' High School he was on the Board of Advice, and was one of the ex aminers for the scholarships granted to primary schools. He has also for a number of years been a member of the High Schools Board and of the Otago University Council. Since the Education Act came into opera tion he has been a member of the Otago Board(andissostill)with an interval ofabout 4 years, he having declined election because there were too many members of Parlia ment on the Board at that time. He is a staunch free-trader, and is a warm ad vocate (both in the Hcuse and oub of it) of the Bible in schools and of temperance, having been a total abstainer for more than twenty years. From 1882 to 1884, he was Chairman of the Waste Lands Committee of the House, but on seeking re-election as Chairman was defeated by the Ministerial party because lie refused to seek any emolument, and in the House denounced the payment of salaries to Chairman of Select Com mittees. In 1882 he was offered and de clined nomination for the Chairmanship of Committees. He was elected the first Pre sident of the Dunedin V.M.C.A., and for many years has been Chairman of the New Zealand Bible and Tract Society. He was for many years an active, and is still an enthusiastic cricketer, and in 1865, 1866, and 1868 captained the Otago repre sentatives against Canterbury. For three years he was captain of the West Taieri Volunteers.

Thomas McKenzie was born in Edinburgh in 1854, came to Otago with his parents in 1858, and was educated in Dunedin. He made choice of engineering as a profession, but circumstances having caused him to give that up, he bought, in 1877, a largo general business in Balclutha, which he conducted with so much success that he has now retired with a compe tency. During his residence in Balclutha Mr McKenzie has taken a lively interest and leading part in all public and social matters, and was for two sessions Premier of the Balclutha Parliamentary Union. Mr McKeuzie takes a keen interest in opening up new country, and has a great taste for exploration. In 1879, in company with Mr James Allen and several others, ho made the trip from Queenstown to the West Coast on foot, and with Mr W. S. Pillans was the first to penetrate the great bush to the south of the Clarence River. Mr McKenzie is pledged to no party. He is in favour of free trade (especially inter colonial free trade) as far as the circum stances of New Zealand will permit of it. He thinks there is a great necessity for re trenchment, and wishes to see the Bible re introduced into State schools.

T. W. Hislop is a son of Dr. Hislop, tho well-known ex-Secretary of Education. He was born in tlie County of Midlothian in 1850, and came to this colony with his parents in 1856. He was educated at the East Taieri School, Mr Schaw's Grammar School (Dunedin), and the Dunedin High School, and also attended the Otago Uni versity for a short time. In 1868 he took part in a controversy at the High School in favour of the Rev. Prank Simmond, who finally resigned, and the oldi boys unani mously chose him as their spokesman on pre senting an address and other souvenirs. He was admitted as a solicitor and barrister in 1871, and commenced practice in Oamaru that year, and was appointed Crown Prose } cutor for Oamaru. In 1872 he took a prominent part, aud in fact was chiefly instrumental, in making the Atbenasum a success. He was one of the founders of the Oamaru Benevolent Institution, and has been a member of the School, Athenajum, Hospital, Benevolent, and other Com mittees. In 1872 be was requested to stand for the Provincial Council, and declined, but consented to stand for the House of Representatives in 1876, and was returned by a very large majority over Mr O'Meagher. He wasone of the first speakers in the debate in 1876 on abolition, and delivered a speech which at tracted considerable attention. At the dis solution in 1879 he was re-elected, but re signed in 1880, and was again elected in 1885 on Mr Shrimski being called to the Legislative Councd. Although a free trader, he has always interested himself in local matters, having been Chairman of the Road Board and School Committee, and on the constitution of Roslyn into a municipality was elected Councillor. In 1879 he was chosen Mayor, without opposition. He has also served as Councillor for the city of Dunedin, and in 1880 was elected Mayor of the city. For several years he was a mem ber of the Benevolent Society, and in 1883 was" elected Chairman of the Dunedin Har bour Board, a position which he now holds.

Scome Mackenzie (Mount Ida) comes from a Scottish family who settled in the West Indies, early in tho century, but suffered reverses at the time of the emanci pation of slaves. He was educated in Edin burgh at John Watson's, a well-known and very old established educational institute, of which Mr George Edgecumbe was then leading director. He arrived in Victoria in 1862, and took to station life, at the same time showing a decided taste for journalism. He came to New Zealand in 1870, and was manager of Deep Dell station, and three years after settled at Kyoburn. He con tested Mount Ida at the general election in 1881 against Mr DeLautour, and was narrowly defeated. On Mr DeLautour's retirement from the editorial chair of the Mount Ida "Chronicle," Mr Macr kenzie succeeded him, and filled the position for some time. He has been a fre quent contributor to the Dunedin Press. At the last general election he was returned for Mount Ida against Mr J. Ewing by a substantial majority. He was then a staunch Vogelite, but virtually seceded in 1885 on the Ministry bringing down a pro tective tariff. Though Sir Mackenzie re luctantly voted with the Ministers on that occasion, and had saved them from defeat, and he made an explanation which has passed into a proverb that he would kick their, measures out. Last session he was a bitter opponent of Ministers on ac count of their taxation proposals, and oh the no-confidence debate made a speech which created a sensation in the House and attracted a'good deal of notice in the country. He speaks very seldom, but is very forcible and argumentative, with a de cided fondness for sentences.

T. Fergus, who came with hit father to Melbourne as a boy, arrived in Otago at the beginning of 1870. In 1870 ho entered as a student of the University, and was ap pointed District Engineer of the Interior by the Provincial Government, and held that position till shortly before theabolition ot the provinces, but resigned in order to join Mr D. D. Henderson, now of Groytown North, as contractors. The firm of Henderson and Fergus did many works, such as railways, harbour works, bridges, waterworks, wharves, etc. For three years he was Treasurer of the Dunedin Athenaeum. He was elected member of Otago Board of Education in Aprily 1880, and resigned in May, 18S4. He was returned for Waka tipu in 1881 by a majority of eighty-five votes, beating Messrs A. C. Thomson and Mcßride. He was re-elected in 1834 by a majority of 440 over his oppo

nents, Messrs J. T. M. Hornsby and J. N. Brown, as senior partner /of the farm of Fergus and Blair, who havje built railways in Tasmania and Australia.'' / John Reid is a native of Stirlingshire, in Scotland, and is 52 years of age. He came to New Zealand in 1863, and was engaged in commercial pursuits, chiefly in the wool trade. From that year till 1873, when he relinquished Business, owing to the magnitude of /his agricultural and pastoral pursuits /at his estate of Elderslie requiring his personal supervision. He was one of the founders and first directors of the Colonial Bank. He was a member of Otago Land' Board from 1872 to 1874, and in conjunction with the thtn Chief Surveyor, the late J. G. Thomson, prepared a report oil the conservation of State forests, which i-esulted in an amend ment of the laws for/ regulating the leasing of timber lands to s|uv-millers, and in 1880 he was appointed representative of Otago on theßailwayComihissionnominated by the Atkinson Government in 1884. He arranged in England for tlfe development of the frozen meat trade Iby chartering the s.s. Elderslie, the'1- j first of a line which broke tlje monopoly of the Shipping Companies, and reduced the carriage charges, /besides conferring other benefits in tho 4ay oi lower afce? or general cargo to Sand from Great Britain. For many years He has been a member of the Oamaru Harbour Board, and is Chair man of the Board (of Governors of Waitaki High School.

W. Barron (Opposition) unsuccessfully contested the Taieri with Messrs Fulton and Snow in 1879, but a year later was re turned for Caversham (which then included the present Peninsula district) beating five opponents, including three old mem bers of the House of Representatives. After tlie alteration of boundaries by the Representation Act of 1881, he was re turned unopposed by his present constitu ency, and was again returned without op position at the general election in 1884. He is a consistent Liberal, and always to be found on the side of the masses when their interests conflict with those of the classes, and is a staunch free trader. His persistent endeavours for many years to extend the hours of polling have at last succeeded, and tho extended hours have been found a great convenience to workmen and others at the present election. The Patent Laws of New Zealand were the result of his action, assisted by Mr Dick and Mr Tole. They were much simplified and im proved, chiefly in the direction of reducing preliminary fees to the nominal amount of 10s, abolishing charges for advertising', and establishing local patent offices for lodging applications and the deposit of specifica tions. In every city this has tended greatly to facilitate the obtaining of patents for new inventions by those who were formerly deterred by the considerations of ex pense and inconvenience. Indeed, as Mr Barron recently said, our patent laws will now bear favourable comparison with any in the world. The provi sions of Section 137 of the Bank ruptcy Act of 1883, which made wages a preferential charge on the assets of a bankrupt, and which debar a bankrupt from being entitled to apply for or receive his final discharge until all wages owing by him have been paid in full, are the result of the joint action taken by Mr Barron and Mr White, the then member for Sydenham. Amongst other questions in which Mr Barron has taken a conspicu ous part may be mentioned the reduction of members — the second attempt made last session to reduce the number to 71, on his motion, having on division resulted in a tie, so desirable a change being thus pre vented by the casting vote of the Chair man of Committees. He has ever since his entry into Parliament tried hard by speech and vote to check injudicious borrowing and extravagant expenditure, and his persistent efforts have not been without their effect in causing the roar for retrenchment.

James Mills is a native of the colony, having been born in Wellington in 1848. He has led an exceptionally active business life. In his early days he was associated first with the late Mr Macandrew, and sub sequently with the late Mr John Jones. On the death of the latter in 1869, Mr Mills embarked in the coastal steam trade, and met with considerable: success. The busi ness eventually developed into what is now well known as the Union Steamship Com pany of New Zealand, and of which Mr Mills has been managing director from its infancy until now. Mr Mills's only experience of public life has been as a member for Wai kouaiti in the Provincial Council for two years previous to the abolition of Pro vincial Government in 1875, and as member for Port Chalmers in the House of Repre sentatives during last session as successor to the late Mr Macandrew. Mr Mills is a man of great practical and business ability, and will doubtless take a prominent posi tion amongst colonial-born men who will form an important feature in future Parlia ments. It is quite on the cards that these will group themselves into an independent section under the name of the New Zealand Party.
