THE MEMBER FOR RANGITIKEI.
A .south Kits journal pays the following well deserved tribute to Mr Bruce, the member for this distriot. After referring to the banquet at which Mr Bruce was entertained at Hawera, our contemporary says .* Mr Bruce, it may be explained, is reported to have definitely decided on retiring from public life and devoting himself to his own business concerns. The loss will be a heavy one to the Opposition, of which he was one of the ablest and most distinguished members, and it may also be said, without in any degree incurring a charge of exaggeration, that his retirement is even a bigger loss to the country than to his party. Unlike the typical politician, MiBruce considered thn claims of tlie country before those of party, and there i* no man in tho House who has in a mote marked and characteristic degree, the gift of arriving at clear and decided opinions and conclusions, nor no mas that has the power of giving such fluent and vigorous ex- | pressions to those views, and none who can stand by them so resolutely to the. end. The retirement front public life of such a man is a national rather than a party loss.
