The resignation of the Colonial Treasurer should have hcen notified last Saturday, imd that Mr V> ard must go will, we think, be the general opinion. "We believe that, notwithstanding his misfortune, Mr Ward has had time to calmly consider his position, and we hazard the opinion that his resignation lias been in the possession of the Premier for some days. We *" -'fy V„ warf tlx; receipt of this document which took Mr Seddon with such haste to Southland, where after consultation with his colleague 110 doubt he decided to defer publicity until the result of the liquidation proceedings was known.
After the public examination of the directors of the Loan and Mercantile Co., the Right Hon. A. -J. Mandolin who held Cabinet rank in the Rosebory Government, was obliged to vesica his position as a Minister of the Crown.

We are sorry, but it must be said without hesitation that Mr Ward has forfeited the confidence of the public and cannot retain his position as Colonial Treasurer.
