V hem will Parliament meet ? Thi Danedin Star fixes the date lor thi , 22nd June j the Wellington Evening i Press, with a slindder, names July and the New ZealKnd Times, which c aourse, knows all about it, is silent * might be e good thing for the lane i: it did not meet at all. The ad. , *• ntages of a rest lor law-mongers arc o vious; but on the otber band then would be some little inconvenience in certain uecessnry business work being left unperformed. The meeting ol Parliament is a necessary misfortune, but the evil is minimised when the gathering takes place at a proper time. Ministerial vagaries, in regulating the assemblage, are distressing . aiid painful. At one time, the country groans nnder two cessions in one year; at another, there is an early session ; and now we are threatened with a late one. Why should the session this year be commenced four months after the expiry of the late year ? Various reasons are suggested 1 As usual, the female franobise is pot in the load. Tlio Government are s& 1 to fear nothing, bat a petticoat; and their dread of thia is so intense that they will spoil the famalfl frr ichiee bill in the comiageassk i by passing it too ; lata to m- re it effective for tbe November elections. It must come of course, and a few years hence we shall read how the Honorable Mrs Smith rose in her place on the cross beaches to pnt a question withoutnoSi'ce, andliow Mr Smith, the leader of the House, quailing under the eagle eye of the Hon. member gave a candid aaswer to the query. This is the sort of thing that will befall tbe. Liberal; gariy in its latter days, and yet, though it may delaythe concession of atedtoral rights, it dare not say' *■ no'" io the women of Now Zealand. ■ «=g»"\ it is deelared that Kiobard Ceeur de Saddoa wants to taks, a ran rotisid tbe; West' Coast to arrange a littie electioneering matter: before the session commences. OF course if this Ice the reason, some hundred cfid legislators will only be too glad to wait the convenience of the. Hon. gentleman attheheadof tbe Ministry. i Tbs unfranchised female toast Idar har lot patiently for Bicfeard is eertainly not oorning to lipst rescue, bnt G|>att from tbis, the dalayin ootamenoitnj the session is not very »ari» oub.
