THE PARLIAMENTARY TROUBLE.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—No suoh blow to the credit of our Parliament has ever before in the history of New Zealand been given, and tho possible loss of Mr Bryce from the House at the present junoture can only be described as a national calamity. As Mr Speaker Steward's want of firmness and naturally not well balanced mind are mainly responsible for the result, not the inoeption, I take it that the proper and manly course would be for him to take the onus upon his own shoulders, and ask both sides of the House to permit him to expunge the vote of censure. Neither side could well refuse Mr Speaker's apology and request, and it would be an honorable acknowledgment that Mr Bryoe would be justified in accepting. It was Mr Speaker who put the sting into the vote, and he it is that should withdraw it. Until this is done Mr Bryce cannot do otherwise than take the stand he has made.—l am, etc., Diogenes. Dunedin, August 31.
