WHAT THE PAPERS SAY
The r.-i,'ption given jo trio Prune Mini-, (or in the Homo on Wednesday- eloquent- tribute to his public i-piiit and intogritv—will be eerdially endorsed by every right-thinking man and woman in tiio Jb - minion. a-nd ho will stand hie her than ever in the estimation of those outriders, to whom he. has been so impudently misrepie-t-C'iitcd. —‘ Lyttelton limes.’
With a fairly full knowledge of tho opinions of Opposition members and supporter;, throughout New Zealand, we cent say emphatically that they regard ;h ■ ) üblna tin.n of the pamphlet as an uMe.rly cL.-crcdit-ulile way of attacking a pub 1 sc man. Vte aio no believer in Sir Joseph Ward, but we should lie sorry to think that, there was a maii in the party who would not pretc-r ;c remain in Opposition ior '.lt 4 r-ct ol ids h!e rather than get into power by such underhand tactics.—Ohristchardi I’res.v ’
One of the most important quest ion* to conn- bcfmc Ihe Imperial Conference, will be that of emuring an Imperial suppur: im I>r 1 1 ii-.ii .-hipping. 'A he I her :t be pri-ad.r;: to i : ornie 1 ilia by legislation fiber at Wvst-r-iiprier nr in the various Dvrr.-c a States irdoubtful : but an attempt ought to he medio bring the chipping lawn and icgul.nior.i-; o! the various States more into atcotdanec. —MarllK’iough ‘ Express.’
We are at one with those wno condemn the M'ln’rilons publication in regard to Sir k.>- )>h Ward, and we i •cognx; tha: he was speaking under a strong feeling of indignation and injustice, but at the same time wo think he made too much of the incident. The doctors of New Zealand have expressed their confidence in him times without number almost, and he might have accepted tint ns an ampin aiunwr to irresponsible and vindictive calumnies.— ‘ Clot ha Loader.’
Mr Millars championship of the bookmakers is one from which wo cordially disagree, but no one wiA any knowledge of constitutional practice would pretend to place the Hogg and Millar incidents on a par.— Mmawalu ‘Times.’
What the future holds for Australia and Now Zealand none can foretell, but if both countries were able to attract population in the fame ratio as tbs Argentine is doing there could be no fear that some day the hordes of Asia will over-run the lands.— Taranaki ‘ News.’
The Tramways Bill having passed, the municipal owner.fnip of tramways becomes a myth, and it would be very much better tu pass a Bill vesting all such undertakings, in tho State without further delay.—Wellington ‘Times.’
