POLITICAL GOSSIP.

[by telegraph—own reporter.]

Wellington, this day. Government Railway Bill.

The policy bill dealing with the appoint  ment of the non-political Railway Board was finally passed by the Cabinet yesterday- You have already been furnished with the pur port of the measure, which is on the lines of the Victorian Bill. The appointment of tho three commissioners is to beby the Governor* in-Council, and they shall hold office for Jive years. One of the three officers is to be Chief Commissioner, and the amount of the salary is to be left to the House to de termine, and provision is made that any Commissioner who is interested in contracts shall be liable toapenaltynotexceeding £500, or to imprisonment not exceeding three years. The powers of the Commissioners include the management, working, and maintenance of all railways in New Zealand now vested in or worked by or on behalf of Her Majesty, and also the management, working, and maintenance of all such rail ways as may hereafter be constructed or purchased by or on behalf of Tier Majesty in New Zealand, or by the Commissioners, and construction of all works and doing of all things necessary for the purpose of managing, working and maintaining such railways, or any of them, as provided by this &ct. tho making and construction of all such railways and several works in connec tion therewith which shall from time to time bo devolved upon or vested in the Com missioners by theGovernor-in-Counci! under the powers contained in this Act. All railways, piers, stations, buildings, re serves and lands generally in use of the Department are to bo vested in the Commissioners. The Govcrnor-in- Council may at any time order the con struction or completion of railways, but the Governor and Ministers are to have no power over the railways. It is the duty of the Commissioners to maintain all railways in a state of efficiency, and to reconstruct or add to railways where necessary. They have power to deal with the leasing of re freshment rooms, and the right to sell liquor and to alter or revoke by-laws, and it is provided that no contract over £20 is to be let except by public tender. They are to prepare an annual report of their proceedings to March each year, to be laid with the estimates, receipts and ex penditure before Parliament in May of each year. The Commissioners may appoint or remove employees, and they have power to hear appeals of employees against tho adoption of the advice of the officer at the head of his branch, with respect to his pro motion or of any charges made apainst him. Accidents of certain kinds are to be reported to the Minister, and the Governor may order a formal investigation. Railway pro perty is exempt from rates. The Stßirlc Purchase.

Mr Monk is asking Government to give as an endowment to Devonport Borough the portion of the Stark purchase not re quired for defence purposes. Auckland Petitions.

Amongst the petitions presented yester" day were the following from Auck land : — From McLeod and others, that some districts be relieved of liabilities to County Councils (Monk); from Althea Symonds, for compassionate allow ance in consideration of her husband's long service (Hamlin); from Henare Kaihau, that res'rictions be removed from pare of Pakakinae Block (Hamlin). School of Mines' Building. Plansforthe testplantand building for the School of Mines, Thames, arrived yesterday morning. Gordon promised Cadman that he will inspect them without delay, but that he requires detail plans. I understand _ Cadman has wired to the Secretary of the School for details. Amendments in Mines Act. The Amendment Bill introduced by Go vernment is merely of a technical nature. Licenses at Panmure. Mr Lawry is interesting himself in con nection with the anomalous position of the Panmure hotels. They are not in any licensing district, and consequently tho granting of licenses to them is irregular. Mr Lawry yesterday presented a petition from James Taylor and 41 other residents, asking that the boundaries of Panmure and Tamaki West Districts be more clearly de fined, so that the committees may be better able to discharge their duties legally and to the satisfaction of tho residents. Auctioneers' Licenses. Many members think that so important a question as an alteration in the mode of granting auctioneers' licenses should not be undertaken except as a Ministerial measure, and this induced them to kill Mr Seddon's bill last night. A motion that the Chair man do leave the chair wa3 carried on a division by 40 to 37. Cemeteries Amendment Bill. The above bill, which is introduced by Mr Moss, passed its second reading last night by 38 to 13. Its object is to enable boroughs to authorise the opening of private lands ns cemeteries. An objection was taken that the bill had only been circulated that after noon, and that therefore there had not been time to consider it. Mr Seddon, who was evidently chagrined at his Auctioneers' Bill being killed, proceeded to set up a stone wall, which prompted the Speaker to rebuke him for wasting the time of the House. A motion for the adjournment of the debate was lost by 22 to 52. Mr Thomp son (Marsden) suggested that a clause should be introduced providing that a poll be taken before cemeteries were made, and Mr Idoss said that if such a clause were introduced he would support it. Mr Goldie objected to the establish ment of cemeteries on water reserves, and urged the importance of preserving the purity of public water sup plies and preventing their contamination in this way. Duration of the Session. Great diversity of opinion exists as to the probable length of the session. Ministers are confident that as they have a good work big majority they will manage to break down the present waste of time on the part of the Opposition, and terminate the busi ness required to be transacted during the present session within a month, while tho feeling in the minds of the majority of the House seems to be that a short recess over the Christinas holidays is inevitable, and that the prorogation cannot take place before the end of January. Reduction of Honorarium. The proposals to reduce the number of members and to curtail the honorarium and Ministers' salaries are sure to be de bated at great length, and in dealing witli the honorarium the leader of the Opposition intends to raise the question that members should be paid a fair wage for their services to the country. Number of Members. Ministers are confident that they wil* carry the reduction of members, a very con siderable majority of the House having Eledged themselves to this reform in their ustings speeches. An Absurd Report. Both the Wellington evening papers give currency to a rumour that Sir Julius Vogel has received the appointment of Chairman of the Midland Railway Company, and will' proceed to England shortly, while the " Press " added that the choice was restricted to the late Minister for Public Works and the member for Cbriswhurch North. The statement is absolutely foundationless, and both Sir J. Voovl ami Mr Richardson are anxious that it ,&.jvVh l\ v-i the most complete refuta tion.

Limiting Members' Verbosity.

The harmless proposal made by the mem ber for New Plymouth to prevent members being reported in "Hansard" after they had spoken an hour, gave rise to an animated discussion. Messrs Samuel, Barron, Allen, and otherswarmlysupported, while Messrs Ballance, Fish, and Sir George Grey objected to it on the ground that it meant restricting the freedom of debate. The motion was talked out by the dinner adjournment. Tho "Roar" for Retrenchment. With a view of reducing the estimates o* the Justice Deparment, Mr Taylor wants coroners and coroners' fees abolished ; throughout the colony. Government, while unwilling to abolish coroners or coroners' inquests?think that Ministerial investiga ; tion might suffice. They are also considering the advisability of reducing very consider ably the fees paid to coroners, and most likely a bill in that direction will be intro duced this session. The Unemployed Difficulty. In asking what action the Government propose to take and give effect to the peti tion of the unemployed of Auckland, Mr Goldie mentioned that for the position of night watchman for the Auckland Corpora tion, the salary for which is £2 per week, there were 118 applications, and that be tween April and November 730 i ail way passes were given to men trying to seek work. Of the £21,000 voted by the colony for work for the unemployed Canterbury and Otago monopolised £20,000, while Auckland only got £1,100. The Minister of Works replied that the petition in question was not re ceived by the Public Works De partment till Tuesday, and that Go vernment were now communicating with the Mayor of Auckland with a view to es tablishing a Labour Bureau. As to the in equality of the distribution of the unem ployed vote, it should be borne in mind that Auckland had advantages over the other parts of the colony, inasmuch as its gumhelds are capable of maintaining of men. There was no intention of treating Auckland in an exceptional manner, and as soon as the Labour Bureau was appointed Government would endeavour to provide work for its unemployed. Glove Fights. The Minister for Justice looks liko a per son who would like to take part in a glove fight, or if he is not gladiatorialty inclined, his manner of replying to a question on the order paper yesterday left the impression that he delights to witness them. In answer to Mr Fulton, he said that the attention of Government had been drawn to glove fights, and he was informed that the police had no power to interfere with them. Ordinary fflove fights were nothing more than boxirig matches with gloves, and as a rule there was nothing disorderly in tho conduct of those attending them—at all events, nothing to call for the interven tion of the police. Railway Freight CharRCS.

Tho refusal of the Minister of Public 1 Works to make concessions for conveyance of wool to the port of Southland similar to those allowed to those forwarding wool to Dunedin or Port Chalmers, elicited a pro test from Mr Ward, which was followed up by a general denunciation by Otago mem bers of the excessive rates for freight on the railway. Mr Pyko declared that settlers would soon have to lot their sections as rabbit ;uns, and Clutha McKen/.ie, Mr Valentine, and Mr Downio Stewart, as well as pre vious speakers, asserted that waggoners, were conveying wool for largo runs to Dunedin, and loading back with goods at less than railway freight charges. Messrs Marchant, Samuel, and Cowan also spoke, the latter expressing the opinion that until the railways were under the con trol of the non-political board dissatisfac tion must continue. The Hon. E. Richardson, ex-Miniater for Works, said it would be necessary to allow the board to impose different raies in in different parts of tho colony. The late Government were compelled to reduce rates in level districts owing to the com petition from waggons, and immediately tho cry arose from one end of the colony for a general reduction, which tho Govern ment were compelled to accede to. Dr. Newman reminded the late Minister of Works that he got into office three yonrs and a-half ajjo, owing to dissatisfaction with the grain rate tariff, and thon ad mitted that he was unable to cope with tho difficulty. Ho promised to appoint a railway board, and had failed to do so. Political purposes had reduced rates in Canterbury as far as Waitaki, and then ho succumbed to the pres sure of 24 Otago members, and extended concession to that provincial district. Wellington was unable to get such a reduc tion owing to the fact that she had only 12 members. Mr Mitchelson declared that the reduction asked for would mean a loss of £10,000 to the revenue, and the discussion closed by the statement made by Mr Ward that rates in New Zealand are immeasurably higher than in other colonies. The Premier's Challenge Declined. In the event of the Premier carrying out his announced intontion of putting up one of his own followers to move " That in tho opinion of this House a revision of the tariff is not necessary this session," the Opposi tion will decline to debate it, but will walk out in a body, Sir J. Vogel having protested against the proposal as a device for further delaying the business. Jottings. Dr. Newman is urging Government to open negotiations with the objectof securing political union with Fiji. The discussion on the debate re imposing a duty of not less than 2s 6d per ton on im ported coal was further adjourned on a division, by 46 to 28. Mr Goldie, who is a City Councillor, tickled the House last night by addressing the Speaker as " Your Worship." Just before the House rose, Mr Pyke re ferred to a member as the Buller lion, but the Speaker ruled the term opprobrious, and it was at once withdrawn.

On the question of the adjournment of the debate on coal duty last niglit, a pro tection discussion was raised, with the re sult that the Gold Duty and Otago Central Extension Bills were blocked.

RAILWAY EEFOm

REPLY TO "EUSTON SQUARE."

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—l am glad " Euston Square," al though with a very bud grace, has con descended to give some figures, as it enables me to point out errors into which ho and "Charing Cross" have fallen. First let me again state that the table in question was prepared in the Government Ac countant's Office, and that it is signed by Mr A. C. Fife, the Chief Accountant. In order to enable them to prepare it, the Railway Department furnished a statement of the bookings from every station to every station on the Auckland lines. The Railway Department then sent to me a time-table of the Auckland lines with a request that I would mark on it my various stage stations with the method of charging the fares. This, then, was the basis of their calculation, and I have no doubt as to the accuracy of the table.

" Euston Square " and " Charing Cross " have chosen to assume that I expect that under the proposed system people would move on exactly the same lines that they do now. Is it possible that they can be lieve this ? Has not my whole aim and ob ject. b«»» to settle the country, and do away

with the necessity for so many people to congregate in the towns ? If this followed, their movements must alter greatly. In the letter « Euston Square "professes to criticise, the following appeared.:— " The increases I require tor the various distances are as follows : — 3 miles and under, l-14th of a fare 3 to 5 miles, 4 of a fare. 5 to 7 miles, 3-sths of a fare. 7 to 10 miles, i of a fare. 10 to 30 miles, 1$ fares. 30 to 50 miles, li fares. >} 50 miles and upwards, 4§ fares. I think this statement is very clear and distinct, and the public will be able to judge whether " Eusten Square s criticism is a fair and just one. . The table quoted states that 424,914 fares produced £39,909, and that under my system 817,454 fares would be requiredl to give the same amount. Tiwoe 424,914 equals 849,828, showing a surplus in my favour of 32,374 fares. „ In a paper on " The Railway Problem published in May last, I concluded this portion of the argument in the following words :-" On the total general average I re quire less than 2 for 1, or, to put words, I only require an increase ot «<S poi cent." . - __ The most determined opponents of my scheme have admitted that for distances ot 30 miles and under I should be likely to secure at any rate 3 fares for one taken now. This would give me 1,105,536 fares, lne deoartment says I require 601,321 to secure the present revenue. Thus I should have on these stages a surplus of tares. If wo take these at the average of Is each it will give us £25,210. n As the total amount paid by all travellers of over 30 miles is £21,988, it will be seen that I need take no notice-whatever of them, and that all they may pay will be so much profit, and a big profit it will be too. This is what this return teaches us, and 1 claim that it conclusively and triumphantly proves the soundness of my financial posi tion. This paper has been distributed by thou sands throughout the colony, consequently there can be no doubt as to what I have said. Faithfully yours, Samuel Vaile. Auckland, November 22nd, 1887.

POLICE INFRINGEMENTS OF PERSONAL LIBERTY.

(To the Editor.)

Sik,—l shall be obliged if you will allow me to draw the attention of the public, through your columns, to an Act, anrl to a case under that Act, which I think deserves serious con sideration from that public. I allude to the Police Offence's Act, 1884, and to tho case of the two girls Riley and Dunn, who were yesterday charged under that Act with being idle and disorderly persons and rogues and vagabonds. The sections nnd«r which they were charged do not require that any specific crime should be alleged, and, if misused, merely afford an opportunity to tho police of shirking their duty -which, I take it, sir, is not to put tho classes of people these sections refer to in gaol, but to indeavour to keep thorn in order as much as possible without any such desperate oxpedient. Those girls were shown to have been living in tho country for tho la.«t month in an honest and industrious manner ; whether as mistresses or housekeepers of men at Swanson was no concern of tho magistrates, for I have yet to learn that the British law provides a censor of morals. Yet in tho face of this, and of the fact that all the police could say against them occurred more than four weeks ago (and not even then could they allego any specific offence), these two girls were Bontcnced to twelve months' hard labour in Mount Eden Gaol and to consort for that period with tho vilest and most de praved of their sex. What encouragement is there for this class of people to endeavour to earn an honest livelihood, if this is to be the result? It simply means that these girls will no sooner bo out of gaol, then, hunted and watched by the police, they will be again proceeded against ; and. becav.se they are at libei'ty-Sot that seems to be the chief reason—they will bo again sentenced and again re-appear hardened in every crime and vico taught them in that gaol which id supposed to bo a purifier, but, to girls such as theso is a sink of iniquity. It is a monstrous thing that a power of this kind should be placed in the hands of a practically irresponsible magistrate, more especially when that magistrate may be, as is sometimes tho case, a man who considers the oath of one policeman (a prejudiced wit ness surely) of more value than any evidence which can be produced on the other side. We are trying hard, sir, and I think we shall soon be pretty successful in our efforts, to create and form an habitual and distinctive class of criminals, the want of which up to now has been our boast and pride. If the Act is to be carried out in this Spartan spirit, but without the sense which characterised the Spartan nation, wo shall soon have such a distinc tive criminal class, and those who belong to it will be cut off from all other classes of society, for when they fall they will fall like Lucifer, "never to hope again. "—Yours, etc., <L M. Speed.

MUSIC IN AUCKLAND.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—Seeing that there is a possibility o* Mrs Davies—the vocalist who appeared at the Choral Hall on Friday last—passing on to some largor field, I would suggest, through your columns, that the committee of the Choral Society should otter that lady a premium of say £100 to remain in Auckland for twelve months, and to sing the soprano solos for the Society during that time. Such a course, if adopted and accepted, would augment the list of sub scribers, and improve the character of our performances cowßiderably, whilst amateurs would have opportunities of hearing and copying an artiste of a high class.—l am, Lamorna. Auckland, November 22, 1887. [We are pleased to learn that the lady re ferred to has decided to remain with us for some months, and will shortly give lesson 3 to advanced pupils.—Ed. E.S.]
