The Wairarapa Daily. THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 1890. Mr Buchanan's Address.

Okce a year Mr Buchanan, M.H.R., in wont to do his duty by his constituents by giving them a Bet speech imp;) current political topics and the economic progress of the colony, Mr 22?b.anan ' 3 ty ty a P ' J° ' that any one address is very much like a supplement to the" announce. ment of the previous year'.in which facts are carefully brought up to date, very little correction or revision as far as opinious are concerned being apparent, In his speech.of Tuesday; evening there is perhapj less yari-, ation than usual, the only modiGcatiocs of view wo observe being that he. now attributes the exodus of population to the public works undertakings' 3 neighboring colonies, whereas last year lie it in the mam, to the reckless finaiiCM of tho Stout-Vogel ministry. The more recent conviction is probably the Bounder one. "Where the carcase is there will the eagles be gathered together" is no new axiom, and it may in this 'instance bo interpreted to mean " whero the sugar is there will the contractors be assembled." At any rate.we have no carcase in New Zealand now, not even for the fanners and small capitalists whom Mr Buchanan dasires to come amongst us, and we would' almost have liked him to have said whether it would pay immigrants of this class to come amongst us. That it would answer our own purpose we would freely admit, but are we justified in shedding the .Wood of our brothers in the old country and making of tlwm a burnt offer to expiate our financial embarrassments? Practically the burning question of the hour is the growth of tbionism. and this pne Mr Buchanan,, in common with mo?,t ftther politicians, who are expressing their yiews, studiously avoided. The time, however, is coming when public men and the press will have to face this difficult pro^p,Jn our last issue

wo published an extraot from-- the Evening Post, which indicated .that I this influential fjoum'ar finds iit necessary, to ute a note of warning, ' I'ublio slowlyrbut surely, becoming alive to tho gravity of the changes which.Unionism is.bringing, about in the- business and social relations of tbie-Colony, and Union ism will soonberegarded as a question wbichno public man can disregard. The bright Bide.to Mr Buchanan's late address is the thorough 'loyalty to the Colony which he displays in every word of it; the firm faith whioh he expresses in its future,' and the moderate tone in whioh he approaches the larger political questions, upon which many men are disposed to .take extreme views. There is no better type of representative in the Colony than the busy settlor who lives his life here, whose whole iutereßts are centred amongst 1 us, and who yet has means and leisure to bo able to take a prominent position in the Legislature. We consider our; Southern Wairarapa neighbors extremely fortunate in their representative, and there are 1 few districts .in. the Colony whose interests have ;beon more closely watched, and-which have greater reasons to be satisfied with the M.H.R. of their choice; Notwithstanding, .however, the exceptionally .. happy relations.- ; to which >ve have referred, it is extremely improbable that Mr Buchanan will get a walkover at the coming general election. • He deserves onu, but the electors of Waira'rapa love the mild excitement of a contested 1 election,' and if they ( had a winged angel for their- repres sentative, they would make him fight 1 for the retention of his seat. ■

Our looal contemporary referring to Mr Buchanan's annual address to his constituents for 1889, wrot6 as follows:

It will hardly be denied that the address, which Mr W. o.:Buohanan lia) delivered to. his constituents, is one of the best efforts which the member for Wairarapa has yet made in the way of ;depictin; the political landscape. He has presented a diorama, perhaps slightly wanting in some of tho details, but, on tho whole faithfully painted. Opinions of the colors emp:oycd will nccssaiily differ, and Mr lluononan has a sufficient knowledge, of humannaturc to be well aware that, even among his mo3t faithlul supporters, his criticsms will not pass unoriticisod, What we rather like in Mr Buchanan's utterances is the absence of high coloring. Ho is neither proue to exaggerate, nor is Le' very ruthless in his condemnation.

With respect to the similar address for 1890, he changes bis key-note,

and says :

Hitherto it has been our custom, when Mr Buchanan considered it necessary to break tho golden sliencothat becomes him so well, to treat our readers to about a yard or two of his utterances, And in doing so, we have invariably exhibited a merciful impartiality by serving up tho rounded, periods of tho "Buchanan Blend" frco from the waddling, lame-duck repetitions that aro an unpleasant.clmraoteristio of the peculiar kind of oratory affected by the honorable member for Tupurupu.ru, Tho contrast botweon the two critiques is explained fully by our local contemporary, who devotes two columns of his space to slating the member for Wairarapa for omitting to give him an advertisement.
