BROTHERS, HOLD YOUR OWN!"
■ fr,-*-When the _ Second Ballot Bill lias tajrtih from a Dominion calling itself British the right of free speech_ to which every Briton is born, it comcs with exquisite irony to hear Sir J. Ward concluding a peroration with these soul-stirring words. It does not take from the value of the precept that ho referred to an. obsolete warship which had not been given by the Imperial Government to this Dominion—so how it came to be their own plight raise a question in some minds, but the right of free speech on all and every , occasion is unalterably theirs. Neither Sir Joseph Ward nor all the Bills he can frame can take it away. It is to.be hoped that electors will remember is precept at the proper time, and, "lest we forpet," it. should bravely float in flaming colours from every busting. Bkitox.
