PARLIAMENT has decreed that New j Zealand shall excel any Australian i colony in the numerical strength of her mili- ] tary contingent, and it is a foregone cocclu- i siou that Her Majesty will be advised by the S.crt tary of State, the Hon. Joseph Chamberi lain, to reciprocate the unexpected extent of I our loyalty by some recognition worthy if a I devoted people, who have sent such a military force to demonstrate our warlike in- j stincta and ability to aid old England ia the i event of war. j That recognition w 11 be, without doubt, | a title to the originator and tactician who I has carried hia proposa's in the face of a hostile sec ion of Parliament. No doubt Her [ Majesty will deem a mere knighthood tco meagre an honour for a statesman who haa shown such Imperialistic exuberance. Qtisen Victoria will undoubtedly thow some discrimination in awarding honours to Colonial j Premiers, and we may look forward with confidence to the Liberal Leader of New Zealand returning with something more than a "Sir" to his name. The form of title itself m%y no^ be so very easy to pjace. There* is one which from the analogy' oTstren'gth and popularity will be generally accepted at Home and abroad as apropos, The Premier will go home as plain Mr. Seddon.
