PRESS OPINIONS ON THE CRISIS.

(by telegraph—own reporter.)

Wellington, Friday. The " New Zealand Times " of to-day sayß that Ministers, after promising the Go vernor that they would use their best en deavours to pass the Representation Bill, deliberately abandoned it in the Council. It will take a great deal of sophistry to con vince any man that such conduct as this is straightforward or politically honest. The difficulty, indeed, is to charac terise it adequat ly within the limits of Parliamentary language. The- article pro ceeds :—" The Government have certainly been consistent in one respect, but it is a consistency which scarcely redounds to their credit. They have consistently employed every crooked device that a perverse ingenu ity could -suggest, to evade tho imperative duty that rested on them of providing for. a just redistribution ,of •freP r(\" sentation. One is almost compelled to admiration, misplaced as it would be, of the singular fertility of resource and invention displayed by the Government in prosecution of this unhallowed design, nor are these resources even yet exhausted, if rumour for once speaks the truth, for it is said that the bill will be sent back to the House by His Excellency with a message recommending the adoption of an amend ment- excising the clause providing for appeal, and that advantage will be taken of the bill being once more in possession of the House; to offer systematic obstruction already arranged on behalf of the Government, with the object of being able to represent to the Governor that they are unable to pass the bill, and that therefore there is nothing for it but instant ' dissolution. For tunately, Sir William . Jorvdis is not a simpleton or novice in public affairs, still less an Arthur Gordon. On the contrary, His Excellency is a very shrewd and able man, and perfectly capable of seeing and ■ judging for himself the spirit in which Ministers have treated their pledge to him, on the faith of which a dissolution was promised. We feel .entire confidence that he will, insist on a strict fulfilment of the honourable under standing entered into between him self and his advisers, and that he will not permit the attempted wrong to be done. It is so manifestly the duty of the Crown in such a case to protect the public interests that we entertain no doubt of the course His Excellency will adopt." ■

Dunedin, Frfday. The;'" Star "says re. the Representation Bill: "Anythingmore indecentthan the spec tacle of Messrs Buckley and Reynolds op posing their own bill never before happened in our Parliamentary history. Had the Council taken any. other course than they did they- would have deserved to have been, whipped out of existence. .When the Ministry, is so dis trusted as to necessiate an appeal to the Governor over its head, it-is-, quite time it was dismissed from office. .Men of spirit would not consent'to hold office another day; but the present .occupants of the Treasury Benches, " though beaten, insulted -in both: branches of the Legislature, still cling to their seats ighominiously. • But we shall soon see what the" electors think of them and their policy." The " Times " says :—" For the inconve nience of delay and general disturbance of so protracted an electioneering campaign, the House have to thank the Atkinson Government in refusing _to take the Re presentation Bill through last session; but this is fault enough for- the Opposition to harp upoifinstead of attempting to make capital out of.the cost of the second ses sion, .which - was ■ indisputably necessary in:'the : eyes• of everybody but 'old Parliamentary hands,' who were anxious to. scramble into office again before the coun try could 1 exercise any influence upon the appointment of Ministers. We shall be greatly mistaken if the result of the general election is to put the old Atkinson contin gent back into office, and-we need hardly point - out that is the cry which ( will be raised by Ministerialists and which the Opposition will find most dangerous. The first wish of the country is to get quit of Sir JuliusjVbgel, but it does: not mean -to instal Major Atkinson, nor will it trust naany of his. old colleagues in any.position in the Government. The Opposition • will do well to let it be thoroughly understood whatever other office may be allotted to Major Atkinson in the new Government, he will not be allowed to have the management of the colonial finances again."

A VOLUNTEER GRIEVANCE.

(BT TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Wangano., Friday. About a week back a list of corps was pub lished by the Defence Department which were stated to bo entitled to prizes under the new regulations. On examina tion, it was found that two of the local corps whose percentages were higher than those of several down for prizes .had been omitted, and steps were at once taken to place the matter bofore the Defence Office. I learn now that Colonel Whitmore refuses to consider^ those applications on the ground that the list has been made up. As Volunteers were not aware at the time that such competition was going, and had nothing to do with the forwarding of returns which wore sent in by the Defence officials, this is considered very unfair, and the matter is not to be^ al lowed to rest where it is at present Cap tain Somerville, of the Alexandra Cavalry, has written to head-quarters on the matter He considers his corps (Alexandra Cavalry) were entitled to 2nd carbine prizes.

WAIKATO NOTES.

(BY TELEGRAPH OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Hamilton, Thursday. The New Hospital.

At a meeting of the Hospital Board yester day a large amount of routine work was done, but of little public importance Numerous applications were received for the positions of head and under nurse, and the names were referred to the medical officer to recommend to the Managing Com mittee; subsequently Miss Saunderson was appointed to the former and Miss Leers to the latter positions. The dilatoriness of the Board in getting the hospital in readiness is provoking much comment. There are three or four patients in Hamilton who have to be provided with accommodation at hotels and boarding houses, which'involves much extra expense. However, the hospital will bo opened at once on arrival of the nurses. A Lad Kipped by a Boar. Amongst the patients referred to above is a young lad named Smith, who was ripped by a boar near Whatawhata yester- j day.

A PUBLICAN CONVICTED.

A Licensing Case.

Dunedin, Friday.

In a case of allowing dico-throwing at an hotel it appeared that an acting license was put in by the official assignee. The Bench said the creditors who were innocent in tho matter ought not to be made to suffer as they would if the license was endorsed, and as it appeared that defendant had never before been in an hotel they would dismiss the information rather than imperil a license. :' ' '- ?v
