There were caucuses and political committee meetings yesterday. The outcomes of them may be shortly stated. A few days ago we noticed that the Auckland and Canterbury Opposition members had agreed upon a scheme for financial separation. It is now understood that Mr. Whitaker’s land resolutions will be withdrawn in favor of this. So much the better. It would be advantageous if the test question were put to the House at once, and its decision would clear the way for the work of the session. There is little fear of its being carried, though a compact phalanx may be found to vole for it. Setting aside the utter injustice to the colony of separation, numbers of those now most opposed to the Government would be disinclined to vote for it, in view of the detriment it would cause to our credit and to the public works policy.
