As it is pretty certain that the Council will pass the Executive Bill, it remains to be seen whom the Superintendent may select as his advisers.

Out of the eleven who voted for an Exucutive, there should be no difficulty in finding two gentlemen likely to command the confidence of the Council. What if most of them are inexperienced in the work of administration ; everyone must have a beginning sometime, — even the Hon. J. A. Bonar when appointed Gold-fields Secretary under the Canterbury Government, and as the first County Chairman, had to sit at the feet of his Gamaliel, Mr Sale. Perhaps not the least advantage of an Executive will be the opportunity it will afford of training our public men to the work of administration, and oringing young and vigorous intellects to bear upon it.
