Finding Rest
It will be seen from a Christchurch telegram that the stormy petrel of politics, S>r William Fox, is likely at last to find a haven of rest. Constituencies in the North Island will have none of him, and wherever lie goes his reputation as a bitter and unscrupulous politican, whose operations one and all are conducted in the sacred name of religion and philanthropy, is certain to precede him. Wanganui long ago discarded him in favor of Mr Ballance ; Manawatu would not hear of him as a candidate ; Rangitikei, in which Sir William Fox has his home, discarded him at the last election and returned Mr John Stevens in his place. Knowing that Mr John Stevens would certainly be returned again at the next election, the friends of Sir William have for some time past given it out that, the doughty knight was about at last to wind up the West Coast < ommission and go home to Fngland on a 12 month's trip. It appears, however, tnat Mr Isnac Wilson, amiable legislative nonentity, is t<> retire in favor of Sir William, aud the latter is to be pitchforked into Parliamem for Kaiapoi. We should hare imagined the Canterbury farmers had better taste. — Marlborough Express.
