New Minister for Public Works
We wero advised bj wiro yesterday from j Auckland that M.r MiToaKLsos, the I main bcr for Mareden, has scceptad a Beat | in £h<s Cabinet, with the portfolio of | j'n'hlif Works. The Hon. W. ?OHS'ST<»3r vill resif, f u in about x. fortnight, and Mr Mitciielsow will entrr on his political ] duties Rt once. The outcry m.ide by tirw Auckland people wuea Mr "WaiTC^Kis. \ j resigned, tbat they wero not represented J in the Cabinet, has resulled ia a meinb-r j beiug raised from comparative obscurity to the dignity of a Minister oi the Crown, j Mr MiTCffEisoN, we venture to say, was UEtil yesterday unkuown to one per cen!.. of tho elestors of the Colony. As si ! niember o£ me Houso ho has done nothing, and never even made the attempt. We may therefore assume he w-is elected as a Ministor, first to pleas© the people of Auckland, second because he has hitherto been a cipher in the House, and third because he will be expected to re» ' main a cipher to gire vain* to the Atjun Bon uait — throe very cogent reasons.
