Political Cream.

Hon. W. R a eve«—A journalist should have the hi le of a rhinnoernua, the ion of an o j, ri h. and th ’ cnnst.itu*ion of a hull. Sir Robert Sr out—l have no desire to re-enter P irliiment, but if returned without being involved in a local or party conflict, I woirtd be willin/ to serve. Rir Robert S nut—lt in ridionlnuß ’o suppose ’hat so much can he got out of a land tax aa the pronerty ’ax produn«a, wi h ut i ju-i’g ciunt y settlers, which is a thing to h° rv ’idprl, Mr Jeilicoe—lt is tn me a matter of the deepest r-’gret that Judge Edwards has not avoided the sen’ d*! which done so much to discredit the judicial B *nch, by resigning. (Loud cheers.) Mr Bryce—When I stood for Waipa, niv principal motive was to make plain, if I could, the «>ctud condition nf the colony in regard to its finance. If I have succeeded. I am well satiefied. Mr Je'licoe—Depend upon it there arc more kinds of bigotry than one. If there is a religious bigot-y there is also a bigotry of irreliginn, and I am not sure that in these days the latter is not the more detestable of the ’wn. (Chee**fl) Mr Carson—lt is a fact that, although Governments ou both sides of the House have come and gone, the country in the interior is almost as much a sealed book—so far hs practical settlement is conc'-rned—as it was half a score of years ago. Mr Carson—l s-e men before me, who have, as it were, squatted upon the borders nf the Promised Land, wearily wailing for its opening up, until their hair has thinned upon their crowns, and what remains nf it has become tinged wifh grey. Mr Arkwright—There are more'usuries in Par i unent: H mse at We’lington than there are in the House of Commons, and a great saving may he made in this respect. For instance there are pnnms for card-playing, and a bhr.ary crammed with novels not like the House of Commons library, which has no novels in it • and then there is Re’lamy’s which shows a deficiency of £2,000 that the taxpayer will have tn pay. Sir John Flab—Al hough I have resided for upwards of thirty years in the Se’wyn district mv name is omitted, and a very cursory inspection nf the roll shows that a large number of my neighbors, old residents in the district,, hnve also been faft out. Mr WiH am McLean I think the time w : ll soon come when women shou’d have the Rime privileges as men with regard to voting. I, however, do not think th y should bo elected to ♦’he H?us**, because the same power that nut Sir John Ha l and Mr Bril in would put in Lady Hall and Mrs B*?”, and very soon they would hive a nice afternoon tea at Parliament Hou«e.
