ANOTHER CAUCUS.
Government caucuses are becoming somewhat frequent this session, the reason, no doubt, being that the Premier recognises that with his diminishing majority he must tread more warily than in times gone by. • Another caucus of "the party is convened for to-morrow, but no one seems to know exactly why. This will be the first occasion on which the Left Wing will be absent from a Government caucus. Political prophets say that the Horowhenua Bill will be considered. Mr Seddon will also, no doubt, wish to coach his followers up in regard to the tactics to be pursued when the Estimates again come up for eonsi* deration. Possibly also the Premier will put out a feeler as to whether Mr Ward should return to the Ministry, while the personnel of the Committee to be set up in connection with the Native Land Act Amendment Bill may afford further material for discussion. Mr Rolleston is desirous of placing Mr Pirani on the Committee instead of Mr Wi Pere, who is one of the most obedient followers of the present Government, while Mr Pirani will move that Mr J. W. Kelly be put on ttye Committee in place of Mr R. McKenzie.
