Tub chief excuse pleaded for Mr Ward lms been that his misfortunes have occurred through his bfcing unable to devote the attention to his business that be should have dove owing to his public services monopohning all his time. The lesßon to be drawn from this plea is that a Minister of the Crown must be prepared to devote his whole time to the service of hia country, He U
paid a high salary with liberal travelling allowances to do this, and the country has a full claim to the exclusive use of his services. No man can serve two masters, and if a Minister attempts to labor for other masters than his country, it follows that the affairs of his eonntry must suffer. With the numerous offices that Mr Seddon has taken upon himself, ib must require his constant attention to public duties if thoße duties are to be done well, and therefore the impropriety of his becoming a servant of an AngloGonlinen'al (he does not like tho word German) mining syndicate is apparent.
