First, he began by contrasting two speeches of the Senior Unofficial Member the one, in the Finance Committee on the 25th ult., expressed the deep regret felt by the Unofficials in having to insist on the reduction of Official Salaries, while the other, in the Council, referred to the same matter but commenced with the formal stereotyped phrase "I have great pleasure in undertaking the duty thrust upon me." In 1890 competed and won against FOUR of The Colonial Secretary seized on this with delight, and gloated over it In triumph as conclusive evidence of something or other. Mr. O'BI then proceeded to quote Shakspere's solemn words—.
Perhaps you were right to dissemble your love, But why did you kick me downstairs ?
It may be thought that this is not a true record, that we are making fun | of the debate; but we can
our readers-nay, they can assure them- selves by referring to the Colonial Hansard that the Honorable GEORGE THOMAS MICHAEL O'BRIEN, Colonial Secretary of this important Crown Colony, In the Legislative Council Chamber delivered this choice music-hall selection to a crowded and appreciative audience. If that is to be the style of debating nowadays, we can argue quite, as well on our side. We have an Office Goat who will supply rhetoric of Mr. O'BRIEN's choice brand til further notice, at a dollar a column. However, for the present let us pass on to the next point of this eloquent Colonial Secretary's speech. He protested XMAS CONFECTIONERY that he would not argue to the value of his service, nor would he beg for a few dollars from the rate-payers. This brings forcibly to mind a profane version CHOCOLATE CREMES, VANILLA PRA of the parable of the "Unjust Steward," who on losing his billet said to himself "I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed; I will get a gun, and rob somebody." The Officials scorn to haggle over the odd shekels; they will not stoop to bog; but with the weight of the Official Majority they break the strongest promises and take by brute strength what it is beneath their dignity to ask for. And the victims try to Influence the brigands by argument. They have a stronger weapon to meet these haughty, dignified robbers; If they will not use it, they deserve to be robbed and to be insulted as well. Yet Mr. O'BRIEN should remember that Esop's wolf did not scorn to argue with the Tamb. Evidently the Colonial Secretary is a more supercilious sort of

Mr. O'BRIEN went on to say "Broadly, the Unofficials case is that the financial condition of the Colony has so worsened during the last two years that the most drastic retrenchment is immedately Imperative" No, that is not their case, but only a very small part of it.

Now that the success of the gambling is past, we want the Increases to be dropped likewise. And, by the way, this cautious Government which prates so wisely of gambling is itself doing a very rash gamble in Exchange over the new losz But that will be discussed when the Lost Bill is Introduced.
Leaving the region of poetry and eloquence. Mr. O'BRIEN came down to facts, and pretended to state them. That he grievously misstated every fact he touched on was probably less due to inherent mendacity then to the natural bias towards decelf which appears to be
The Colonial Secretary then proceeded the first and strongest growth of official training. When DAVID said "All men to dilate on the glorious prospects of the are liars," he was a king, with a crowd of Colony, in exactly the same style as officials about him. Thus the Colonial Governor Des Voux in his famous Secretary sold "certain salaries have been "magnificent future", speech; and just as passed by the Council and sanctioned by sadly in error. The first mistake of both the Secretary of State; until he has men was the shipping delusion, taking decided that they must be altered we tonnage of vessels entering the port as an must continue to vote them."

As for 1892 and sanctioned; but for 1893 well credit the village of Wayback in the they had neither been voted nor sanctioned Rocky Mountains with all the trade that when he spoke. The voting and sanctioning goes over the trunk railroad passing It were distinctly limited to one year at a time Perhaps the fallacy of calling tonnage them; no "must" at all. He knew that showing how much of the tonnage was run at a dead loss. The Upton line of well enough; yet he said the contrary. This was no misunderstanding, no playful 2,000 ton steamers has failed; other jesting perversion, no trivial lapse of Trans-Pacific Hines, comprising a great portion of the whole toonage of memory, but a deliberate lie.

"A strange Incident occurred in the speech of the Government orator when concluding his review of the colony's prospects. He referred to "Charbon- nagos" and the Hon. C. P. CEATER In terms which appear, in cold print, rather complimentary; but all who heard the words uttered must have been astonished at the spito and venom which hissed Sarcasm can only be out with them. reproduced in a newspaper when the languago conveys it; but it was not Mr. O'BRIEN's words, it was his tone which indicated scorn of the most malignant kind. We know not why the Senior Member should be thus Unofficial taunted, why the Colonial Secretary, with scowling eyes and turned-up. nose, spat out the words from between his closed teeth with such deliberate vehemence; but we know that he did so, and that he showed far too much of the We apologise; he of the cloven hoof. cloven Hoof is said to be a gentleman, while this gratuitous attack on a man who has done his best-and that is a great deal for the colony, was the act of a cad of the meanest breed.

The next point in the speech under consideration was a snarl at shipping, "the lifeblood of the Colony" and an assurance that there was no danger of anamia." But there are bloodsuckers, who stick like leeches once they get a hold; there is an Official, Octopus, with arms ever extending and tightening their grasp on the Colony, sucking deeper and depper every year-what suicidal fools were those who voluntarily helped it to get a tighter grip in 1890, trusting the Octopus to keep its promise and let go again when the blood began to be thin!
