POLITICAL GOSSIP IN WELLINGTON.
TIIE LARRIKIN AT HIS WORK AGAIN. Friday, July 16.— Tho sens°lcsa act of "stonewalling" the passing of the New Plymouth Harbour Board Loan Bill was proceeded with yesterday afternoon, when Mr. S inmel moved tin committal of that measuro. For something to fill in time with, Mr. Huislhouso complained in a very pitiable manner at a Taranaki paper calling him th.3 "larrikin oE the House" ; but the members oaly laughed, showing how well they thought the name applied to bin. Ho talked about every imaginable thing, but why the bill should not go into committee, and as he said ho considered he was doing his duty ho must certainly have extraordinary ideas of what tho functions of a member ought to be. '•WHERE IGNORANCE IS BLISS, &c." A Mr. Buckland followed the " larrikin of tho House," and appeared to be very ignorant of tho contents of the Loan Bill. Anyhow, ho talked a lot of nonsense, and helped his companions in obstruction in wasting tho time oC the House and tiring the patience ot the members. Ho is a very young man — tind-a very silly ono — becanse such conduct on his part can do him no goo), for all right-minded men must condemn his action in this matter.
