LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL EMPLOYMENTS.
TO TH* BDITOB. Sib — I believe it is Ihought that the Government are going before next soasion tostuff « few more nonentities into the Upper House. I was always under tho impression that men were put in the Upper Chamber' a» a reward for their past services to the colony, but my mind is now disabused of that idea. The Government put men in there? Borne of them whom would not be elected on a school committee. They stout aboutnino months out of the twelve, smoking their pipes, with their hands in their pockets, and drawing their pay ont of the publio coffers. That is how tho Government reward their diesiples. Instead of the Government trying to find work for the people, they squander it on pay for tbe above nonentities and other extravagances. More anon* I am, Ao., Tbuk Democrat. 10th April, 1891.
