The Premier has already received congratulations upon the Bill from several of those immediately interested. A Wellington citizen connected with the liquor trade has informed him that in his opinion the Bill is a very fair compromise. Sir Robert Stout, whose opinion, ia view of his attitude upon this question, will be of considerable interest, Bays that there is nothing very much in the Bill to make a fuss about. The only step in advance is the provision for national prohibition. The threefifths position, however, remains the same. Though the method of taking the poll is simplified, he thinks it is still cumbrous. Sir R. Stout agrees with the proposal to take the poll oo election days, and says that that is a change he has already advocated.— N.Z Times.
