NEXT SESSION OF NEW ZEALAND PARLIAMENT.
Speaking of Mr. Shrimski's motion for holding the next session of Parliament in Christchurch, the Timaru Herald concludes a long leader thus:— "As to the effect of the resolution for holding the next session at Christchutch, we may say that no mere resolution of <the House is binding on Ministers ; but one of this character, involving a very large expenditure, is necessarily futile unless followed by an adequate appropriation. No auch appropriation could be made, ■o that the Government could not, if they would, carry out the terms of the resolution. Wellington will certainly get its usual harvest next year, and probably for several succeeding years, unless the Assembly are fairly driven out of the place by stenches, disease, discomfort, and extortion. Almost everybody out of Wellington now admits that, on public grounds, it would be much better for Parliament to meet at some place within the radius of railway communication, and perhaps Christchurch would be as good a place as any. The cost of migration, however, is so heavy, and the inconveniences of the Legislature being away from the departments are so great, that no. ' change is likely to take place for a considerable time to cone."
