MR SAMUEL'S SPEECH.

OPINION OF THE PRESS. The Lyttelton Times says :—": — " Now, we can quite understand that Mr Samuel has had quite enough of advocating New Plymouth's claims in a callous and hardhearted Parliament. It cannot be an exhilarating occupation even when a kindhearted Government does its best to smooth matters. For years, Mr Samuel's has been the voico crying in the wilderness and ho has failed to attract attention. The wilderness remains as empty aa hard and barren. Nevertheless, we do not think he will improve matters by handing his local j sceptro and crown to a successor. If he has failed, who is likely to succued ? Assuredly we know of no one more likely to gain a hearing for the bitter cry of poor New Plymouth than Mr Samuel. He has always struck us as the beau ideal of a >( local man." He never bored the House j with New Plymouth in season and out of season as clumsier advocates might have done, and those little Taranaki arrange ments in which the Premier kindly assisted were managed so quietly that any but the most lynx-eyed members , might have been pardoned for failing to notice them. Undoubtedly Mr Samuel did his honest best for his unpopular constituency, and if he failed it was only because tlie New Plymouth Harbour Bill was .too drastic a dose for even the ay age Atkinnonian to swallow. Why, then, should he feel dejected or depressed ? There are some clients whom even the smartest lawyer cannot pull cut of tbe mud. Though not admirers of Mr Samuel's method of treating tho party to which ho professes to belong, we are still sorry to see a man of hie undoubted ability out of political life."
