IN THE SADDLE.
BUT HOW WIL£ HE RIDE?
(By SINBAD)
Tlie session on its wordy way has made once more a start. To Wellington tlie members gay have gone irom every part and now, for weeks or months, we'll hear the speeches windy, long, and drear, which seem to be so very dear to every 'M.P.'s heart. Behold the solid Tory team —an overwhelming band! i. onservatism, it would seem, has got the upper hand. The name and fame ot Gordon Coates have fairly been rammed uoivn our throats, and thus he won sullicient votes to boss supreme the land. He's picked a patchwork which I don't much admire, for passengers are in it yet whom surely he should fire. "The man who gets things done," in fact. should very shortly start to act, unless to find that he is sacked next poll is his desire. There's no denying that he has an opportunity; there's such a state of parties as he dearly loves to see. Yet he can't do just as he'd choose, or later we'll have other views, so Coates had better wisely use his large majority.
