There is a general concensus of opinion that after the Premier has attended the Coronation, he will cease to take at: active part in M.L. politics. Sir J, G. Ward is the only possible successor to the burly Premier, and when Sir Joseph’s time does arrive, he will thoroughly reconstruct the 'Cabinet. Of course, this is all in the air, but less unlikely things have been foretold —Dunedin Star. To-day we are preparing to send, another’ contingent, not because our beloved Motherland is in any danger ; not because there is the slightest fear for her prestige ; not because a pledge of our loyalty and our patriotism is necessary, but because our men are, wanted to do the hard, the thankless, the bitter work of the finishing up of
