SEVERE PRESS COMMENT. By Telegraph—Press Associntion-Oopyrleht Sydney, August 25. The "Sydney Morning Herald," commenting on tho sitting of the State Assembly, says:— "Yesterday's proceedings reveal that Parliament as a representative institution has sunk to quite pitiful levels of humiliation. Instead of representing tho political minds of the people, it represented nothing but its own vulgarity. When it lacked sparkle, comic vulgarity supplied grotesque pabulum for abuse.
