LABOUR'S VOTE.
Curiosity as to how the Reform Purty would vote on the divisions to be called for during the debates on the Finance Bill now before the House was expressed by the Leader of the Labour Party (Mr. H. E. Holland), who said "pious statements in the House .do* not carry much weight unless backed byvotes." Mr. D. Jones (Reform, Mid-Canter-bury): "You voted for tho Government for two years." Mr. Holland: "Those years were well spent in keeping the honourable gentleman from the Treasury benches. No member of the Labour Party apologises for voting in that direction. If wo had voted for the ' Reform Party wo would have had .the wage cuts two years ago."
