THE SESSION.
The practice of forcing through important Bills at headbng speed in the j last days or hours of a session is a most pernicious habit, that our legis-' la tors seem inclined to accept as a I sort of hereditary vice, without j attempting to check it. We hope that the Premier and his colleagues will stay their hands while yet there is time to refute to be parties to such a travesty of legislation as th-3 end ot our Parliamentary session too often witnesses. And it would certainly help Parliament and the country to discover exact'y where we stand, says the Auckland "Star," if Ministers would indicate at once precisely what are to be persevered with, and what Bills are to be dropped, so that the important i measures shajl not be sacrificed to the relatively trivial, when the inevita'jlj scramble begins.
