HUGE CENTRES.

When tho biggest part of NC'V South Wales .and the biggest section of Victoria are losing population while the sensational capitals bloat larger and larger, affairs can't be quite healthy. It is the habit of politicians to blankly ignore the subject, for there are heaps of votes to be got in the huge centres, while- there are none as yet in the iinbuilt cities which ought to exist but don't, alongside the great harbours which ought to bo busy but aren't. With his eye fixed solely on next election, the policitian doesn't think it worth while to tackle enterprises which, however good they may be for the country, can't yield a harvest of direct -support for some years, and which may aggravate some of the existing support iv th ( > meantime. — "Bulletin."
