PARLIAMENT.

Sonao of 3loprosintatlvo3WEDNESDAY, July 2, MrKorr, resuming tho debate on the motion for Comraittoe of Supply and. Mr Ballance's amendment tbcrcto, condemned tho Government for notnpotting up man to man in tho debate, andsaid it was not" what lis called (Laughter.) Ho offered to Bit down if tho Government would put up souio ono to reply to Mr ;W. P. Reeved. Ho regretted tho illness, belioving tho colony afford to lose suoh a man, and ' snid when another Premier was ill before ho was very badly treated; nasty questions were asked and he was refused a pair. In tho present caao the other mombera of tho Ministry were treating tho Premier badly, and ho thought they should not have a Premier wbo could not tako his placo in the Houso. He *ijf' accused tho Government of holding back subsidies from local bodies. With respect to land settlement, he said the concessions tho Government had given to the Midland Eailwny Company wero practically locking up tho Nelson province. Tho Company were really, playing with tho Government, and, ho understood, thought of throning llioNolson end up altogether. He twitted the Colonial Secretary and other members of the Ministry with going about saying to members "What do you want?" and said lw himself had replied, " What have you got to give ?". II were not a supporter of t'je GovComment it was "God help yourchance of getting anything," Why only that morning he went to the Government himself (Uughter) to ask for a road which thepeople of hisdistrict wanted, but he did'nt think he would get it, He accused some of the members ot " talking on one.sido and speaking on tho other" (laughter), and generally condemned tho general and departmental administration of tho Government. He believed that just through a falso sympathy—many would not vote against the TJovernment who otheiwise would, Between the Bank of New Zealand and the Union Company Iho country was being ruined. He called on th Native Minister to explain tho Botorua purchase seeing that it wdr generally asserted tint the Bank of New Zealand compelled the purchase, Mr Hobbs presumed it was quite legitimate for tbe Opposition to make a demonstration, but tho question was whether Mr Ballance, if ho carried this amendment, would carry it into effect. He MA not think so. Tbe revenue of the country would be greatly decreased by the abolition of Jpo property tax, and members shonli not prate about doing away with thai tax unless they were prepared with t substitute in revenue. His own idee was that they should get the busiues; of tho country done as quickly at possible, and get ready for the elections. Ae for this amendment, it was quite a bogus affair. Ho never knew a want of conlidenco motion fall so flat. The amendment was one that

- he . entirely nqreed with, but they knew it was insincere. #"J The question was then put, that the <£' words" the Bpeaker do now leave the chair, in order that the House may go into Committeeof Supply," should stand part of the question (as against Mr Balance's amendment.)
