THE END.
In a fexr days the first session of the new Parliament will have come to a close, giving us another example of wrangling, abusive recrimination, and evilspeaking in its earlier stages, and hasty and injudicious legislation in its later stages. At one sitting Mr Pyke's Otago Central Kailway Bill— giving an additional line of railway to districts already provided for, and which, in criticising Mr Stout's Otago speech, the press so strongly denounced — was rushed through the House, while the Kailway Bill— a Bill of so much importance that it proposes to completely revolutionise the present system of railway management— is similarly hurried. It is in this stupid way our statute book is being continually encumbered with, the most obnoxious and ill-digested laws, giving life to a world of trouble to be afterwards repealed or amended, until confusion becomes more and more confounded, the interpretation of which involves, in legal costs, a, tax intolerable to be borne.
