THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1887.

The debate in the House of Eepresen. tatives last night on the question of privilege gave evidence of a general feeling of regret that the unfortunate contretemps had arisen, and a desire to get rid of it as quickly as possible. As .Sir Julius Yogel refused—and pro perly refused—to yield a single inch, the only thing to be done was to pass some general resolution of ag mild a character as possible upholding the authority of the chair, but not involv ing any overt act of submission on the part of tho lion, member. The motion proposed by the Minister of Educa tion on behalf of the Government ap peared to satisfy these requirements, and in the absence of any overture for settlement from Sir Julius Vogel, or manifestation of a disposition to hold out the olive branch, it was, perhaps, the best thing thatcouldhave been done. That this ridiculous affair should have wasted two precious days of the session, when the Government are actually depriving private members of the day usually devoted to their busi ness, displays the cumbrous nature of our legislative machine. It will be an interesting subject for another question by a retrenching member to ascertain from the Government what has been the cost to the country of the question put by Mr K. Thompson, and for how long a period the sum so expended would have paid the salary of the messenger whose special attendance on Sir "Julius Vogel was objected to. As we stated yesterday, if Ministers of the Grown cannot be trusted to protect the interests of the colony in a trivial matter of this sort, a motion of want of confidence, and not a question, is the proper method of dealing with them. The public servants could not be improperly employed by Sir Julius Vogel or any other private member without the know ledge and assent of the Executive.

THE PROTECTIONIST MOTION.

Alttiougii the attempt of the Pro. tectionists to bring on the question of tariff revision this session has failed, the member for Parnell deserves credit for the persistency which lie displayed in forcing it to an issue. The method adopted, namely, to take it as a motion upon the report .of the Petitions Committee instead of as an adverse vote upon the Financial Statement, was also very adroit. We think that under the circumstances other Auckland members who have given pledges in favour of Protection ought to have joined Mr Moss and Sir George Grey in the ayes lobby. No doubt, if the Government were fully resolved not to waive their demand for time, until April next in which to produce revised tariff proposals, the debate on Thursday must have blossomed into a motion involving the fate of the Ministry, and we presume that the members who failed to support it con sider the request of the Premier for time a reasonable one. This excuse may serve them for the present, but they must understand distinctly that no mere wish to pre serve the personnel of the present Ministry, or to secure retrench ment will be accepted as a valid reason for supporting the Government if they fail in their promise to bring down a tariff giving substantial assis tance to local industry next year. Thie question takes the very first rank. It means "hread and butter" to thousands in the colony, and although Protection ists may look askance at any proposal to use them to advance a party cod with

which they havia' no eytnpathjr, th'ef ; will not scruple themselves to use any political party in order to attain their end. If Major Atkinson should resolve to cast in his lot with the Free-traders, the Pro tectionists must band themselves to gether to set up a Government that will command the confidence of the country. A division on these lines will give the colony better de fined political parties than we have had since the Public Works policy first demoralised the House.

THE FRENCH SCANDAL.

A scandal- which is distinctively de scribed as " French " might be assumed to refer to some unsavoury exploits of so-called " gallantry ;" but, in point of fact, the French scandal which has been bulking so largely in the cable news of late is at the opposite extreme, being a record of transactions of the meanest and mo3t mercenary character. This may be accounted for by the fact that one of those most deeply implicated in the disgraceful affair —Mr Daniel Wilson, son -in - law of President Gv6vy — belongs to the " nation of shopkeepers" who dwell on the opposite side of the Channel. Mr Wilson is accused of having unblush ingly sold military decorations at a fixed tariff, of accepting a bribe of two millions of francs for obtaining a mili tary contract to a certain tenderer, and of taking a bribe in return for using his influence in judicial affairs. The latter accusation is doubtless the trans action which was referred to by "Le Pat is" about a month ago. That journal accused Mr Wilson of using pressure to obtain repayment to Messrs Drey fus, the bankers, of 750,000 francs, the amount of a duty payment which was enforced by the courts in the famous Peruvian guano case. M. Sadi Carnot, who was then Financial Minister, refused to refund the money, when M. Grevy's assistance was sought, he having defended Messrs Dreyfus, and received 200,000 francs in fees. M. Sadi Garnot was driven from office, and M. Dauphin, his suc cessor, proved more pliable, although M. Bredil, head of the Finance Depart ment, strongly opposed such tamper ing with public moneys. If this be a correct recital (and Mr Wilson ad mitted to an interviewer that it was substantially true), then it is clear that President Grevy is as much implicated as his son-in-law, and there is no need to wonder at the cry that has been raised for his resignation. Generals Caffarel and d'Andlau (the latter a nobleman) have been clearly proved to have trafficked in decora tions and appointments. The exploits of the Comte d'Andlau appear to have been most varied, for, as a Paris cor respondent humorously remarks, "He is actually said to have made a bishop, pocketing as a reward for his pious task a matter of £100. Then there is a whisper that he once got a man into the equally sacred precincts of the Jockey Club for a consideration of ;£4OO. It was four times his fee for the bishopric—a fact which, if true, will prove that the bench is not so diffi cult of attainment as the club. But the Jockey Club need not triumph, if the report be correct that General; D'Andlau twice received £800 for the rrbbon of the Legion of Honor, a price that casts the turf-senate tariff miser ably into the shade and places the bis hop nowhere." The blue blood of this mercenary nobleman has not prevented his being sentenced to five years' im prisonment for these flagrant practices, and General Caffarel, who has admitted his shame,has been deprived of his com mand, has had his pension reduced by one-half, and will have, to stand his trial, in the civil courts also. The nepotic instinct has hitherto protected the excellent Daniel Wilson from criminal proceedings, but itis plain that the French people are in no temper to condone his offence or to conclude that, he is innocent without having a searching inquiry. The Chamber of De puties after a strong debate has given wide powers to a Commission which will inquire into the transactions of the War Office during the past ten years, and the amiable son-iu-law has already been found out in petty abuses of his position, and more revelations may be expected.

Although these scandals arc of a mercenary nature, there could not fail to be a woman mixed up in the mis chief. Mine. Limousin, the woman in the case, was born in Paris, of German parents. She is ugly, hideous even, with false hair, teeth, etc. She seems to have, nevertheless, possessed the art de Iα piaire, and many are trembling in their boots for fear that she, to while away the weary hours of duress, will recount her conquests ' for some boule vard sheet. Other persons mixed up in the scandals are on a par with this brazen intriguante. A certain Baron Kreitmeyer has been prominent in rhakiug allegations against Mr WilsoD, and this Baron proves to' be the Bavarian officer who, after one years close confinement with hard labour'for high treason for selling military plans of" German fortresses to the French General staff, was banished, and has apparently cast in his lot with a renegade German clique in Pans. Altogether there promises to be a great washing of dirty linen in public over this French sensation; but beyond the possibility of causing a change of President, it is not likely to haye any influence on European aftairs.
