Not having done so upon the present occasion, it is due to you to give some reason for my apparent neglect. When I state that my health has been very indifferent for months, I am sure you will agree that there is no nee 5 . to apologise for what has been my misfortune and not my fault; in fact, Ido not yet feel equal to addre=3 a public meeting. The present state of public affairs has recently been pretty fnlly placed before yon by the late and present Premiers of the, colony. In a short address I do not intend to go fully into all the matters referred to by the several speakers who have addressed their constituents, nor to follow the "tu quoquo" style of argument apparently so fashionable at the present time. I fully admit the finances of the colony require serious consideration from parties on both the House, and I think other means might be devised than tho obnoxious one at present before you in the shape of the Property Assessment Act. I opposed the passing of thisAet, as I looked upon it aH only a moans tc an endviz., the repeal of the Land Tax, a measure very objectionable to certain large land speculators, who have reaped immense benefit by tho prosecution of public works, and who do not like having to pay for such benefit. If the original idpa of rating properties where tho railways were unprofitable had been carried out, there would have been no necessity for the heavy burdens now laid upon the public at large. We are told on all sides that we must economise. That the Civil Service is out of ail proportion to the population of the country I agree; bat under the present state of things I am afraid it will go on increasing instead of linishing ; as, since the passing of the Public Works Act and the abolition of the Provinces, the Asßemblyhas degenerated into a large Board of Works, and the Government oMhe day is subject to enormous pressure regarding matterß that ought never to be heard of wit-in the walls of Parliament. The only way that I can see to reduce the Civil Service aF.d to economise, is to form a strong Government, bavin? power to give what we have been promised 30 long, a substitute for the Provincial Institutions which were so ruthlessly destroyed, and so dear to the majority of old 'colonists. Parliament has now to contend with sixty odd bestgars instead of nine. Gentlemen, —L'ntd tms sort of thing is remedied anil the Parliament of the country enabled to ilea! with matters :or which it was created, leaving local bodies to manage their own affairs, I do not see any chance of any appreciable retrenchment in the Civil Service. I see it is proposed to do av,-.iy with sub?iai-->3 to local bodies except under special circumstances. Ido not think the plan will answer. It simply means another scramble, and a ';:--0 more pressure upon the powers that be. We have heard a great deal about the use of the Telegraph for election purpura by the late Government, and it was corsiA--re-d essential that the matter should be inveit'e'-tcd. No one could have objected to this, -'t s ems, howev-.r, to have been forgotten thnt in doing_ so private telegrams were laid upo= th 6 table of the House, and read, if not ccfied by many members, beforo they were impounded by Mr Speaker. Comment upon such conduct is unnecessary. A suggestion might be made that in any tutv.ro enquiries great care ehcnld be taken that the secresy of tho Telegraph Department shouk'. '-it again be violated. The statement that the late Government_ inl tended to bring in a Triennial ParUaxnsntS - .ill that was not to affect the existent: Parliament, is very disingenuous. The facts of the ca=c are that the Bill was printed beforo the dissolution of the old Parliament, and was introduced into the new one without being reprinted. As I trust we shall have the pleasure of meeting before long, I thali not go mere ftdly into matters, but beg to remain, Gent'emeu, Your obedient servant, 5-25 mO J. T. FISHER.
