We have no fear that it will so repent and reform if a fow days of grace are accorded it that the country will indignantly repudiate any interference with it—knowing as we all do that its members, as a body, the nominees of Mr Seddon, have neither the capacity nor the energy to make it other than it is. There is no reason whatever for its immediate and unoonsidered abolition excepting the possibility—disliked by cur Premier—that a reasonable discussion may conyince the country and the House that the Legislative Council should be made representative and not destroyed.—New Zealand Herald.
