AUSTRALIAN FEDERATION
MELBOURNE, April 13. The “Argus” says that Mr Fegan’s appointment as Federal Under-Secretary in New South Wales has been received in all quarters with a deep sense of disappointment. It was supposed that the leading permanent positions under the Commonwealth would bo given to men who could be welcomed by all. Mr Fegan is all absolutely untried man in official life, and it is evident that in his case favour, not merit, has come first. Nothing could be more unfortunate than that Federal Ministers should dash the belief that in all personal matters they will set Australia tin illustrious example.
