the recommendation, and pointed oat that
the Committee had, given the-matter
lengthy consideration, and that the man
they had recommended had the best cre-
dentials.
Mr Crooks objected to the Chairman
opposing the recommendations of the
House Committee. The man whom the
Chairman had cut and dried for the posi-
tion had not the best credentials.
Mr Martindale supported the report.
The Chairman said that the man whom
Mr Crooks charged him with having had
cut and dried for the position was not the
man he would have recommended. There
were two others, either of whom he
thought would have been quite suitable.
At the same time he wished it tobe under-
stood that he had nothing against the
man recommended.
Messrs Parish and McMillan sup-
ported the Committee's recommendation,
and after hearing the Engineer's scale of
duties read, expressed the opinion that he

Fisher proposes that manual instruction
may be given only to the pupils following
the standard course of instruction at a

be given at extra hours beyond the
ordinary school time. For manual in-
struction so given a payment may be made
by the Minister of Education to the Edu-

ance at the class for manual instruction,
provided that the manual instruction to
each pupil occupies at least two hours a
week for ten weeks within the quarter.
Technical instruction may be given only to
such scholars as have passed the fourth
standard, as have obtained from an In-
spector of Schools a certificate of having
passed the requisite examination. For
such technical instruction occupying at
least twelve hours a week for ten weeks
during every quarter, a grant shall be

BRANDING SHEEP.

WELLINGTON, August 7.
At a meeting of the Stock Committee
this morning, the subject of branding
sheep was discussed at great length. Those
representing long wool from the North
looked upon branding as being practically
useless, as it was no protection against
sheep stealing, and only calculated to spoil
the wool. Finally it was resolved to re-
commend the following amendment in the
Act:—'c That no flocfc owner residing in
any clean district shall be compelled to
brand his sheep with any other mark than
his registered earmark, anything in the
Branding Act to the contrary notwith-

At a meeting of the Benevolent

when charged with larceny last week,
stated that it was their only alternative
with starving, that the family had been
in receipt of relief for years. This was
recently stopped, with the intimation that
the mother could go into the Institution
and the girls go to work. This suggestion
had now been acted on. He had discovered
a giece of land in Mornington worth about

although she was not aware of it. It was
decided that, as the family had been

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Wednesday, August 7.
The House met at 2.30 p.m.
OTAGO CENTRAL KAILWAY.
Sir H. Atkinson moved—"That the
resolution of the House passed on the
6th inst. adjourning the debate on the
second reading of the Otago Central
Railway Bill for a fortnight be rescinded,
and that the debate be adjourned until
to-morrow." He said he had assented to
an adjournment of the debate on the
Bill on the previous night, but being
called away to attend to some public
business he was unable to return till the
motion had been carried for the adjourn-
ment for a fortnight. At this stage of
the session it was, of course, out of the
question to have a Government Bill post-
poned for a fortnight, and he should
therefore ask the House to rescind that
motion and agree to the one he now pro-
posed, namely, that the second reading of
the Bill should be set down for the next
day. He should, afcer the second reading
had been agreed to postpone the Bill till
after the Public Works Statement had
been brought down.
Mr Kebves (St. Albans) reminded the
Premier that a member of the Govern-
ment was present in the House when the
motion for the adjournment was carried
the previous evening.
Sir H. Atkinson said that at any rate
the Minister did not know what was going
on and did not assent to the adjournment
for a fortnight.
Mr Reeves remarked that if they "were
to assume that when the Premier was
absent from the House the Government
was represented by a lot .of dummies he
had no more to say on the matter.
MrTaylor protestedagainst the manner
in which the Government was carrying on
business, and he thought if he (Mr
Taylor) were a Ministerialist such a mis-
take would not happen.
Mr Seddon thought that the Premier's
proposal was reasonable, but it showed
that the present was essentially a one
man" Government, and that the rest of"
the Ministers were unable to act in the
Premier's absence.
Aftersome further discussion, the motion
was agreed to.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
Sir H. Atkinson moved that a Select
Committee be appointed to Inquire and
report as to what form of local govern-
ment is best adapted to the requirements
of New Zealand, the Committee to con-
sist of Messrs G. F. Richardson, Jones,
Whyte, Pyke, Samuel, J. Mackenzie,
Macarthur, Tanner, and the mover. He
said he had been requested by a number
of members tobring forward this motion,
and he hoped the Committee would be
successful in suggesting a satisfactory
system of local government. His own
opinion was that if they were to
search the whole world they would not
find a better system of local Government
than existed in this colony at present.
However, the Government would give the
Committee every assistance in their de-
liberations on this important subject.
Mr Walker regretted that the Premier
had not given a better reason for the
appointment of this Committee; in fact
the whole tone-of his remarks suggested
that the Committee should not be ap-
pointed. He dissented from the practice
of Committees doing work that should
be performed T>y the Government them-
seives, and he should therefore oppose the
motion.
Mr Samuel said he should not vote on
the motion one way or other, but he
thought that the importance of devising
some scheme of local government should
be admitted by the House. At the same
time, he felt that a whole session would
not be sufficient to devote to this impor-
tant question.
Mr Moss hoped the Government would
also agree to a Committee being formed
for enquiry into the depression existing in
the country at present, and devising some
means of checking the outflow of popula-
tion that was now going on.
Mr Seddon moved the adjournment of
the debate but it was not seconded.
The Premier's motion was then agreed
to on the voices.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE.
Leave of absence for a week was granted
to Mr Withy on urgent business, and for
ten days to Mr Duncan on account of
serious illness in his family.

Bill to Amend the Napier Harbor Board
Act Amendment Act, 18S7, Wellington
City Empowering Bill, Waimate Public

THE HISLOP-WARD CORRESPONDENCE.
Sir H. Atkinson desired to make a
statement as to the position the Govern-
ment had taken up withrespect to the Com-
mittee asked for by Mr Larnach to enquire
into the Ward correspondence. The
Government had carefully considered the
matter, and had come to the conclusion
that no good whatever could arise from
the appointment asked for by the hon.
gentleman, The whole faces of the case
were now before the House, but if Mr
Ballance desired it he (the Premier)
would be glad to give him opportunity
of discussing the matter by appointing
a day on which the question could
be brought up. It seemed to him that
great difficulty would arise if a Committee
were appointed, but he was quite ready to
set apart a day for the consideration of the
question.
Mr Larnach was rather surprised at
the Premier's statement, as he had moved
in the matter from no party spirit at all.
The question was so important that he
hoped the Government would accept the
motion not to name a day fordiscussing it.
Sir H. Atkinson said he conld not
accept the motion, and the Government
were very firm in that decision. As he
had stated he would be quite willing to
have the matter fully discussed if the
hon. gentleman opposite desired it.
Mr Ballance regrettsd the position
taken up by the Premier, as the hon. gen-
tleman had stated recently that he was
quite willing to have the matter discussed.
The Premier now intimated that it could
be discussed in such a way that he thought
it would probably be treated as a want
of confidence ia the Government. If the
correspondence in question showed any-
thing it showed that a Judge of the Dis-
trict Court had been accused of partiality
and gross unfairness. What the House
wanted to know was whether those
charges were true, and whether the Judge
should be continued in his office. He {Mr
Ballance) was not prepared to accept the
Premier's challenge, as they would be
asked to deal with it wholly from a one-
sided view, and with no evidence at all
before them.
Sir John Hall disclaimed having advo-
cated thac the correspondence should be
referred to a Select Committee.
Mr Hutchison denied the Premier's
contention that the whole matter was
before the House, and said that several
telegrams between the Government and
Judge Ward were not in possession of
the House.
Mr Dodson said it was much to be de-
plored that the administration of justice
should be dragged before the House in
this manner. He thought that nothing
was more likely to interfere with the
proper administering of the Courts of
Justice than the action now being taken
by some hon. gentlemen. The Govern-
ment, in his opinion, had taken the only
reasonable course in dealing with this
matter, especially as the petition was still
before the Committee.
Mr Fisher strongly urged the appoint-
ment of a Committee, and hoped that Mr
Larnach would press his motion. He
said it was perfectly well-known that
Judge Ward could not expect much con-
sideration from some members of the
present Government.
Sir H. Atkinson denied that he had
assented to the appointment of a Special
Committee to enquire into the correspon*
dence between the Government and Judge
Ward. As to Mr Fisher's statement, that
no justice could be expected by J Judge
Ward from the Government, he thought
It was perfectly impossible to suppose that
the Government wouldbeallowed to sit on
those benches if they were deemed in-
capable of dealing out justice to civil ser-
vants. If Mr Ballance thought; that
they were not capable, he should at
once move a no-confidence motion,
so that the House would explain its
opinion on it. He, however, altogether
refused to believe that the House held any
snch opinion as that advocated by Mr
Fisher. As he had sAid previously, the
Government were entirelyresponsible for
the conduct of its Civil Servants, and it
would be most improper for the House to
interfere with such administration. The
duty of the Executive would be taken
away if the House interfered. He
did not wish to make this ques
tion a party one, but when it was
stated by any hou. member that
it was utterly hopeless for high officers
in the State to expect justice at the hands
of the Government, the House should
ake steps to ascertain whether the
Government were capable of acting in
that manner, but such a charge was
utterly untrue and the House knew it.
He again stated that he never expressed
his willingness to hare a Committee
appointed to inquire into the correspon-
dence.
Mr Ballance contended that thecorres-
pondence showed that one of the Ministers
had improperly interfered in the adminis-
tration of justice, but he was notprepared
to condemn the Ministry, as the Colonial
Secretary might be able toshow a very good
case for hie action. That, however, should
be inquired into by the Committee already
spoken of, and the Colonial Secretary
should be allowed an opportunity of vindi-
cating his action before that tribunal. He
asserted, however, that the Government
dare not face the position of having a
Committee appointed, so that all the facts
of the case could be brought out. What
the House wanted was to get behind the
correspondence, and every constitutional
means would be adopted by his side of
the House for gaining that end.
Sir John Halt, said that the House had
all the facts before them that tne Com-
mittee could have. (Mr Fisher—Not all.)
If the correspondence did not disclose all
the facts, why not move for the rest of
it ? He considered Mr Ballance had not
treated him fairly by stating that he had
advocated a special Committee to enquire
into the correspondence.
Mr Seddon said that the change of front
on the part of the Government was due
to their having ascertained which way
the majority of the House would go
if this question was referred to the House
for its consideration.
After further discussion, the motien for
an adjournment was lost, and the matter
dropped.
REPRESENTATION BILL.
Mr Hislop moved—"That the amend-
ments made in the Representation Bill be
agreed to," which was carried without
debate.
On the motion for the third reading,
Colonel Fraser said he was dissatisfied
with the quota, but in consequence of the
Bill containing the reduction of members
"
and also the grand principle of one man
one vote," he should support the third
reading.
Mr Samuel spoke strongly against the
way in which members of small boroughs
had been treated by the negotiations
between the town and country parties. He
considered the Bill was 'disgraceful in its
construction, and he Regretted being a
member of a Parliament which had passed
it.
The House rose at 5.30 p.m.

The House resumed at 7.30 p.m.
REPRESENTATION BILL.
Dr. Newiian reviewed the position of
the Bill and the action of the town mem-
bers over it. He also protested against
the galleries being closed during the
debate on the Bill.
Mr Mackenzie (Ulutha) denied that the
Bill was a disgrace to the House, as
alleged by the member forNew Plymouth.
It would be a disgrace, however, It it
passed in the shape in which the Govern-
''
ment brought it down originaUy.
Messrs Reeves (St. Albans), Taylor, Dod-
son, Russell, Hobbs, Brown, Fisher,
Fitchett, Saunders, Allen, Seddon, and
Menteath spoke on the third reading.

then lay it on the table, when copies of the
Statement and Public Works estimates

Mr Ballance thought that the debate
had nearly closed, but he approved of the
course proposed by the Premier as to
laying the Statement on the table without
reading it.
Mr Seddon objected to such an unusual
course being followed.
The motion was agreed to.
Mr Mitchelson said he had intended
delivering the Statement that night, but
as the debate on the .Representation Bill
had been protracted so much, he thought
he could not read the Statement at such a
late hour without wearying members. He
therefore requestedpermission to lay it on

WELLINGTON, August 7.
Mr Saundets made come remarks to-
night as to the advantages city representa-
tion had over the country. Speaking as a
country member he said that his observa-
tions of the last thirty years had allowed
him to form some idea of the influence the
four cities had on the representation of
New Zealand. Commencing with Dunedin,
he asserted that when that place was in-
habited by Scotchmen only the influence
of its public men was good, and nothing
but good, and if he could not be an
Englishman he would be a Scotchman.
(Laughter.) Scotchmen were the easiest
governed people in the world, and at the
same time they always managed to govern
"yell. While theii influence as pure
Scotchmen was exceedingly good in this
House, a race had grown up since whose
influence went altogether in the other
direction. The people, since they had been
mixed up with Australian adventurers,
seemed to have the same power without
the same prudence, force and foresight,
and the result was that they had sent up
representatives like Sir J. Yogel and the
late Mr Macandrew, who had been guilty
of raising loans, expenditure and extrava-
gance, which the pure Scotchman never
dreamt of, and would never have sanc-
tioned. His observations had led him to
the conviction that the influence of the
great city of Dunedin—great and good and
important a city as it was—had of late
years been exceedingly bad in this House.
Then he came up to his own (neighborhood
of Christchurch, and he admitted they had
got a very peculiar race of politicians
from that city. They called themselves
Liberal, and yet the politics they
had adopted were the most illiberal
that he had ever heard of in
any country in the world. They had said
in this House that minorities should not
have a voice, and yet when their turn,
came of being in a minority they wanted
all the voice. Oae great reason why the
cities should not have so much representa-
tion as the country districts was that
during the whole of this session their
representatives had taken up considerably
more than half of the whole time of the
House with their speeches. An excellent
arrangement would be that representation
should be regulated by the number of
hours' talk indulged in, in which case the
cities would not, so far as the number of
members went, be more than adequately
represented. (Laughter.) One of the
great evils the country complained of in j
connection with Christchurch represents- I
tives was that they were the advocates of
monopolies. The Liberals of Christ-
church were protectionists and mono-
polists. They put taxes on the
farmers' ploughshares, on his manure
and clothes, and on the tools of miners and
farmers, with a view of maintaining some
paltry industry or manufactory in the
town, but were not prepared to protect
farming and agricultural industries of the
country. Then the Auckland members had
talked very freely in the House, and had
often made compacts with the South, and as
a result of their compacts the rest of the
country had shared very badly in t$L&
plunder that were going on. He ad-
vocated that the representation of
Wellington should be rooted out root,
and branch. The principal reason
why Wellington should send no mem-
bers to the House was this : They came here
invariably as representatives not of the
taxpayers of the country, but of the tax
receivers, and were, in short, advocates of
everything in the shape of extravagance
and of robbing the country. No man
would have a chance of being elected for
Wellington unless it was known he stood
as a determined advocate in the way of
extravagance. Wellington took every-
thing it could out of the poor, miserable,
over-taxed farmers of the country, and as
the sexfc of Government was sufficiently,
represented.

after leaving the coast no settlement
country is opened up. For these and
other reasons it is unnecessary to give
further consideration to this route. The
Ngaire line, on the other hand, is quite
feasible, fifteen miles in the Tangarakau
valley are very heavy, but the whole
of the remainder is moderate or easy.
The average cost per mile for the 103 miles
between Eltham and Ongaruhe is £8800.
There is no exceptionally heavy work in
the shape of tunnels or viaducts. The
general direction of the line is straight,
the altitudes are low, and the gradients
and curves are easy. Comparing it with

The condition of the line at present is
that at the Hokitika end the Railway is
completed, with permanent way, from the
Hokitika wharf to about the fourth mile
near the Arahura river, and between that
point and the Kapitea Creek, near the
tenth mile, the formation is nearly done
and the Arahura river is bridged. At
the Greymouth end the rails are laid for
one and a-half miles, and the formation,
without bridges, is partly done to the
Teremakau river, seven and a-half miles
further, and the bridge over the Terema-

The Government regrets that as so large a
sum of money (close upon £100,000)
has already been expended on this line it
cannot be at once completed, but in view
of the fact that it would cost quite £98,000
