Tub cleverest speech of the recess, fell last week from the lips of Mr 6. Hutchison, at Wangnnui. The member for Patea presented some hometruths to the country, in exceedingly forcible terms. Ho described the Premier and his colleagues as hunting the country for votes of confidence; and, referring to the alleged disunion in the Cabinet, declared that "men whoso lingers had met in every corner of ihe public till, were unlikely to fall out," He made a happy allusion to the Ministerial skill in taxing the country, when lie maintained that Ministers " had squeezed every mop." He was particularly hard on the Colonial Treasurer and his artificial surpluses, advising Mr Ward to adopt the waxwork show motto; " don't touch the figgcrs," when setting them up.
