If there is a Bill introduced to the New Zeaand Legislature which is intended to satisfy the fads of a few effeminately minded sentimentalists, the chances are ten to one that it will be passed with flying colors. Given a hard-headed measure to meet the irante of the country and it will be "chucked out." There is a good majority in the House who may be described as belonging to the "flabby" order of the human species, and to their labors the country is indebted for the goody-goody mawkish statutes that needlessly increase the bulk of our legislative enactments. The Woman's Suffrage Bill is certain to pass for the simple reason that it is a twaddling piece of humbug, and utterly unneeded ; while for the same reason the Bills introduced by Mr Ormond for the reduction of the honorarium io members of Parliament, and for the reduction of the Governor's salary will be thrown out flying.
