A Few Queer Queries.
HEADS AND TAILS AT ELECTION TIME
How many heads of votes have to be scored to win the tail or title of J.P., by a disinterested friendly electioneering- agent ? What motives a- tuated the removal of the Primage duty, just at the election time ? What led to the complaisant consideration of the remova' of the Official Assignee's office and gracefully yielding to public pressure, just at election time ? What consideration prompted the liberal settlement— at the public expense— of the outlay the Salvation Army had incurred in supporting the imbecile outcasts of Government inhumanity, just at election time? One would almost imagine that such happy consummations of telling incidents had been premeditated, a species of salting the Parliamentary claim ; but this enigma I must leave to the electors to solve for themselves.
