PARLIAMENTARY NEWS.

(BY TELEGKAPH. REPORTER.)

•■ .WutLiN'GTok, this day. Apart from the sensation- consequent upon fcho-Miniaterial statement relative to the Re presentation Bill, thp business in the House yesterday afternoon was dull and un interesting. It was a private mem bers' day, and there was barely more than a quorum of members present. The only new arrivals .were Mr Garrick, the member for St. Albans, and Mr Hislop, Oamaru, who took their accustomed seats.

Questions

The questions given notice of for future sifctings included inquiries*— Whether Mi' Perkins's report on the removal of restric tions from native land would be laid on the tablo ? Whether the Government would provide for the enrolment of Volunteer Fire Brigades into special capitation allowance ? When the proposal referred to in Governor 3 speech relative to railway reform is intro duced, would the Government place on the table a report of the" Commission appointed to inquire into the Stark purchase during the recess ? Whether tho Government would introduce bills to amend tho Chattels Securities Act, Goldmining Act, and Build ing Societies Act, in the direction of reme dying the inconvenience caused by tho abolition of District Courts in certain dis tricts ? Notice was also given of the inten tion to ask tor information respecting the number of militia officers, non-com.mis sioned officers, and private?. Mr [veßs announced his intention of introducing his J'nbli(3.Mm}iceS on Lands Bill, which was Mrawn'auKlast session, to-day, and Mr IJffhffiqhjlp^givcn notice of a coinmilieo to dfeal vritlifche rabbit nuisance ■The'questions put to Ministers were few in number, arid of very Jil lie in lure* t. "

The Governors Salary

The Premier declined to accodo to Mr Taylor's request .that they should amend the law in the direction of limiting tho salary and allowances of any future Gover nor to £6,000, and said it wns not their intention to deal with the subject this ses sion. Ho was not to bo drawn out by Mr Ormond's desire to know whether pro posals would be submitted for reducing tho salary of members of the Logislat me, and remarked that it was not usual to attempt to anticipate the Financial Statement. He BUffgeeted that the question should be post poncd till the Statement was down, when t-hd answer would be forthcoming.

Harbour Defences

Mr Ballance informed Mr Moss that a re turn-of expenditure M\d liabilities undor votes for harbour defence, purchase _of native land, and thermal springs i* being prepared, find would by laid before tho House shortly.

local BfUs

The following local bills wore advanced a stage, their second roading being assented to :—Reclamation Within tho Harbour of Wellington (Beetham), Sydcuham Borough Council Empowering (Taylor), Nelson Fore shore Reserve (Levestam), Wtuiganui Har bour (Hon. Mr Bnllance).

Representation Bill. - Statement

T>» the Premier.

The House Was rather taken aback by the announcement made by the Premier relative to the Representation Bill. He said that after the amendments made in tho measure last night he was not prepared to proceed with the bill in its present shape. Ho was, however, desirous that a bill should be passed this session, and suggested a compromise with the leading opponents to the measure as drawn.

Major Atkinson said ho was not prepnred to agrco to a conference without considera tion, though at the first blush he thought the suggestion a reasonable one. Mr Biyco >yanted.to address the House on the que.«trcrn;'bn-t-fche Speaker ruled that as the bill was not an order for that day, any discussion would be irregular.

Hall Case.

The debate on the Hall case was then re sumed by Mr Buekland, who regretted the intemperate language used by the member for Timam in bringing the matter before the House. He was convinced that there Was no inequality of justice in tin's colony. Mr Turnbull, in reply, said he had heard little in tho debate towards removing the impression which unfortunately existed throughout the colony regarding this case. The motion for tho return as to the cost of tho various trials was then put and carried. Judge fenton and I>r. Suiter.

In moving that the paper re the Kai marana sind Owhaoko Native Lands (Sir W. Buller's statement) be printed, the Attorney-General expressed _ the opinion that the correspondence which had taken place since the publication of the com mittee's report showed that the committee had befen unwise in not adopting his sug gestion to telegraph to Dr. Buller for his explanation. Mr Downie Stewart said he had failed to find anything i/i the tfhole proceeding reflecting on the integrity of Judge Fenton. It Seemed to him that in writing his memo, on tho matter, the Attorney-General could not have been aware that Mr Fenton had administrative as well as judicial duties to perform.

After further discussion the jwiper was ordered to be printed.

Law Practitioners

Sir George Grey carried the second read ing of his Law Practitioners Bill by five votes. After he had moved its second read ing, Mr Lnnco proposed an amendment that it be road this day six months. The, lawyers in the House did not hojd jihblr usual sessional debate, for, they aonbtefl not their strength to defeat, the: bill. • The division list, however, -§h"sW3d that they had erred, for the Speaker1 announced;' that the amendment was nega tived by 30 to 29. The result was received •with hearty cheering. Mv Samuel made a bitter attack on tho principle of the bill, the second, read ing of which was carried by 2i> to '24. Its coinmtttul is fixed lor Wed nesday , the '25 th inst.

Friendly Societies

" Mr BownieStewart moved the second read ing of tho Friendly .Societies Amendment Act, the sole object of which is to make the limitation conform with the Eng lish. Mr Holmes urged that the measure should be submitted to the Friendly Societies throughout tho colony. The Premier said he. saw no objection to the bill, nor did several prominent members to whom he had spoken. The second reading was then agreed to.

limitation of Votes

In mo^ng the second reading of the Limitation of Votes Bill, Sir George Grey said the measure merely asked the House to enact that every elector should vote in one electorate only. Mr Locke said that when in Committee he should have some thin* to say as to the number of votes any elector should have; The second reading was agreed to. Contagions Diseases- JBcpeai.

"There Was ,h. 'long' debate in the House last night on Sir George Grey's motion for tho. second reading of the Contagious Diseases Repeal Bill, which Mr Rolleston strongly opposed, and urged that the Government: should introduce an Act in tho direction of making the spread of contagious diseases penal on both sexes. The Premier said,he considered the present ***. -almost inbperakive.and as it could only ©HOP, t.iif»/i to women he opposed its intro ■Kv it- PiSS-'?nedin- H6 I™l thafc the 01KB by lIS sm.^ nded in t h e direction sug-

Act, which Mr Montgomeryequally strongly objected to till a new bill, on the lines suggested by Mr Eollesfcon, had been substituted for it. Ho was satisfied that the Act had been productive of great good in Chrirstchurch and Auckland Mr Hobbs thought it was a mistake that men should be allowed to go about the country spreading contagious,, disease, and be left masters of the situation while women could be confined. Dr. Newman expressed the opinion that the bill was unnecessary ill New Zealand. The amount of, this disease was very small. After a long debate Mr O'Callaghan moved that the bill bo read a second time six months hence. After a protracted debate lasting till nearly midnight, the amendment was puc and carried by 52 to 11, the bill being thus lost.

BURNS CLUB CONCERT.

Tiik Scotch concert given at the City Hall last evening by the Auckland Burns Club proved a most successful one, the building being crowded in all parts with a most enthusiastic audience. Tho concert was in aid of the Dunedin Burns Statue Fund, and was under tho distinguished patronage of tho Earl and Countess of Aberdeen, who occupied specially reserved seats, covered in honour of the occasion with the Gordon plaid. Tho performers and members of committee also wore rosettes of Gordon plaid, whilst the decora tions generally wore in keeping with these characteristics. After an appropriate intro ductory selection on the bagpipes—viz.; " Tho Campbells arc ComiiV," by Mr Fraser, Mr' W, R, Waddol, who occu pied the chair, made a lew remarks. Ho expressed his pleasure in presiding on that auspicious occasion. The object the Burns Club had in view was to Ai<swb their " blither Scots" in t)uuedin to erect a statue in honour of Scotland's poet, and the deputation that had waited upon Lord Aberdeen to request his patronage had met witli cordial co operation. Lord Aberdeen entered hoirtily into the project, and his presence with the Countess was in keeping with his remarks in replying to tho deputa tion. :(Applause).' The audience, however, was not mrtdc up entirely of Scotch people, and the lovo of country wua common to all. Ho concluded by quoting tho first verso from Mr Wills, l>Tho Old Land and tho Now;" ass being nio-'t appropriate to the occasion, and resumed his.seat amongst applause. Tho " Boatie Rows," in solo and chorus, by Miss M. A. Moncur and choir, under the Coiiductorship of Mr Limkliam, was then given with good effect, and Mr Armstrong followed with "Jenny's Bnwbie," which was quite to tho UKto' of the Scotchmen, and was heartily applauded. Miss Cribble gave "Jessie's Dream," and, in response to an emphatic encore, "Tho Harp that Onoo tW T.ara's Halls," both items boing well rendered. Tho encore picco was especially in honour of the Irishmen present, nn<] the Scotch selections were resumed by Mr A. S. TJcid, who contributed "My Native Highland Home." Master Murdock JL'raser, a lad about six years of age, next gave the audience quite a treat, dancing the Highland fling in costume to bagpipes accompaniment by l'iper Fraser. An encoro wns demanded and duly responded to. Mr J. L. K6lly introduced a pleasing diversion with tho recitation, " Oor Mary had an E'e to a Man," and the Scotch humour and dialect running through the piece aH'orded consider able) amusement. Miss Kil«our gave " Bide a Wee" in nico style, and in response lo an encore bowed her acknowledgments. A flute solo on Scotch airs by Mr Innos was excellently rendered, and a pianoforte duct by the Adams Brothers, introducing a variety of Scotch and Irish airs, mot with a very Nattering reception. Mr D. Mcn/.ies gavo "The Woo, Wee German Lairdle" in Igood style, and in response to a recall *• Rantin' Rovin'," " Mncgre<rors' Gather ing " was given by Mr WhitW;cr, and Mr Worrall gave a fine rendering of " The Border Bride," whilst Miss M. A. Moncur sang "Caller Herrin'" in character, in a manner that called forth a perfect storm of applause. Subsequently, Miss J. Moncur contributed " The Bonnie Brier Bush," and Miss Glover sang " Tho Banks of the Clyde," witk good effect. Mr J. G. Harper gave the Caledonian sword dance, in cos tume, correctly, and in excellent style, An encore was loudly demanded, and Mr Harper responded by dancing tho Higland fling. Mr Lankham give " Auld Joe Nicholson's Bonnie Nannie," and ,Miss Gribßle " The Land of the Leal " (by specihl request). Mr Allan followed with a humour ous Scotch renflinjr, entitled " Robin Afilcck and the Phrenologist," which caused much laughter, nntl the trio " Willie Brewed a Peck o' Maut,*' by Messrs Armstrong, Carter, and lloid, also provoked considerable amuse ment. During an interval, the Chairman Stated that ho had been requested by Lord Aberdeen, wholincl retired shortly before the close of the concert, to express his pleasure that Lady Aberdeen and himself had ex perienced, and to state that thoy would not have retired early but for the fact that they had to make an early start on the following morning for the Hot Lakes. Lord Aber deen ul^o spoke highly in praise bf'.L'ipor Fra?cr'.s performance on the bagpipes, and desired that, he should be specially thanked. " .Vuld Lang Syne" brought the concert to a close. Tho accompaniments during tho broiling were played by Messrs M. McDer motb, Forbes, Bartley, and M irtin.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Jubilee Suggestions.

We have several letters on hand making suggestions for the observance of the Queen's Jubilee.

" Aliquis " hopes the Auckland teachers " will make Her Majesty's Jubilee memor able by the revival of the teachers' library, which has been in a moribund condition for some years. It needs a librarian who is connected with the Training Col lege, tho issue of a new cataloguo, and some of the books bound. Tho library is the property of the teachers in the pro vincial district of Auckland ; tho books can bo posted by Mr Rico to any teacher, and many in the country would gladly subscribe if they know tho library was judiciously managed and the books regularly trans mitted:"

Mr A. E. Tyer3, Ponsonby, asks : " Why cannot -we have some practical work done during the supposed happy period by which tho masses of poor unfortunate working men who arc unable to obtain work, and those who through bad trade arc compelled to work at low wages and short time, may bo benefited ? A work to assist such would indeed be something to rejoice over. Why not invite all such to make up work of any kind for gale. Surely eomo gentleman would give the use of a room for the Occasion, let the general public bo admitted free,. Let all goods offered be marked with sale price attached and name of maker. Further, lot all work of tho unemployed be kept scparato. and let a fund be raised to give prizes for tho best works throughout, if such works merit it: and let a responsible person be put in charge to give information to would-be employers and- to bring decerv ing unemployed and employers together. Let no paid servants be other, than unem ployed ; let the proceeds of sales made go to the persons exhibiting such goods." Our correspondent suggests that a committee should be formed to give effect to this pro posal.

"Jachin," reviewing tho proceedings at tho meeting to arrange for the celebration of the Queon's Jubilee, say* :-■ " All' the speeches scorned to be endeavours to solve How thoy could devise some scheme to best attract tho Queen's notice and seemingly tickle her vAnity. It never seemed to enter the head of anyone present that there should beany substantial expression of thankfulness to God in the way of relieving tho distress here or at homo. True, there is to boa special thanksgiving service on Jubilee Day, and on tho Sunday preceding it a series of special thanksgiving services : but thoy are to bo cheap affairs, all talk but no give. Now, sir, I would suggest that at least at these ' thanksgiving services" there should bo collections taken up for tho poor. To me it will look almost akin to blasphemy if something is not done somo' part of these Jubilee collections is not given for tho purpose of relieving the distress amongst us."

Bkkr and Chime.—Mr J. Newman writing with reference to tho reported in crease in the beor duty collected cays : " Tt ie a sad result that it entails upon us an incrc.-ise of prisoners in Mount Eden (Jaol. The following list shows the increase during tho la*t three months :— Total nt end of Month month. Romarks. Males. Femalos. 1887 M F. Greatest ;VU 20 January 128 17 Least 125 12 Greatest 11(5 19 February 113 10 J en»(; 12S 15 Greatest ISt 23 March 151 21 Jen t 188 17 Greatest IG3 24 April 151 14 J-eoat U9 14 If the above increase is the result of im proved commerce, it surely is a loiid c&U for some alteration in our licensing lawo, so that we may turn our increased prosperity to bettor account, and when good' times come back to us, as I feel sure they will do before long, are we always to ontnil these evils upon a section of our people, and upon ourselves, for' we have to bear tho cost of maintenance in the gaol—and to support bheir dependents who are left outside, boreft for the timo it may be of the bread winner for the family. Very few of us can understand tho extent of poverty this drink practice entails upon those connected with it. As an illustration, I may add that from the discharged list from Mount Eden during last month—nearly nil of whom were sent there for drunkenness and minor cases arising from drink - twenty-eight of them had only lid amongst them when arrested. I leave your readers to picture if they can the misery surrounding these people, and the families conncefceu with them—and would not our future,prosperity be secured if we could got rid of tho cause that entails Buoh fearful ieonscquences. Although times arc bad, these men do not spend their last penny in bread, but in drink."

The Govekx'ou's Salary. — " Democrat" writes : " Permit me to thank you. for your recent articles re the salary paid to the Go vernor of New Zealand. I endorse your views, but would go further and revise the whole constitution, making tho Legislative Councillors elective for a term, ana reduce their number to 20 and the number of repre sentatives to 60, and pay them 30a per dny during session and their, fare to and from Wellington. Below is tho population and number of senators and representatives of the State of New Jersey with their pay: — Population, 1,131,116 ; number of senators,' 21; number of representatives, (50 ; term of, senators, three years ; term of representa tives, one year; pay of the senators, SOOdols ; pay of the representatives, 500dols. The Governor of New Jersey gets f),000dols. per year. Senators and repre sentatives do nofe have their faro paid. Query : If the numbers of senators and re presentatives given above are enough to make laws for over 1,000,000 people, why should not tho same" number suffice for 600,000 people 2" ... .. .....

The Piper and the Reception

(To the Editor.)

Sm, - As it was announced in your columns. that the deputation from the Burns Club who were appointed to meob the Earl of Aberdeen on his arrival was to march to the martial strains of the bag pipes, it is but right that I should explain that my non-appearance is ho fault of mine, as I was ready in ifull Highland costume from early morning waiting the word of command from the Committee. A . similar, proposal was made to me by our Irish friends, but no i word reached me from either. I am sure' that it would be a fitting reception • and, I! trust,, a pleasing ona -to & Northern noblo man to be welcomed at the antipodes by his countrymen and friends marching to the thrilling notes of their national' music. Ib would show His Lordship that: we still perpetuate the music which is associated .with what is best and bravest; in our national history and traditions. I am also sorry for tl»3 many who have been disappointed at my absence, and- trust you will publish this to free from blame.^* Yours i-cspectfully, . Simon FrAseb. Aldershot, May 5,1887. " '
