AFTER all the Ithnriel spear, the touch of which distinguished between the democracy that is true and the democracy that is spurious, -is not to be town from its scabbard; in other words the Government is- not ’ taking anY referendum on the federation question, and the Government is right. Nine-tenths of the people know nothing of the merits of the question, and to ask for a vote aye-or no would luiVe .been ‘supremely ridiculous. Now, 1 if the people.wern asked io Vote as to the’most popular jani in Die market, we Veh” lure to think that the votes pf the majontv ■ would be recorded in favour of Crease’s \1 jam. This jam is made in Wellington and is first favourite in the household. Grease’s Al jam is the best. 504 ,
