THAT MILLION.
v — — Thkbe witl be a scramble among \ members for a portion of the million loan, and the game has already commenced. With charming frankness the Dunediu Star says :— " We may be allowed to express the hope that the Otago members will see to it that out of the money available under the Bill, and the amount to be. transferred from revenue to the Public Works Fund, as announced in the Financial Statement, the claims of the Otago Central to consideration are uot ignored. If every dog is to get a bone there will certainly not be a very big one for each ; but let Otago represen tatives take earn that there is at least share and share alike. Very little is likely to come this way unless they work loyally together, and let Ministers understand they are in earnest." It is impossible to put the matter in a bolder light, but at the same time it is a fair index of the discreditable state of political affairs in tho House.
