NEWSPAPER COM.MENT

Thorp can certainly lie nn ennibination between tlu* Uelonn :iikl l.aboiir parties. except it ho o'l an accidental nature, arising out ol thoir pollution opposition to somo particular proposal. It will ho the disagreement between these parties that will furnish the [lnited Phirty with its principal title to the Ministerial benches, which ii non be expected to gain in the short ses* sion of Parliament. That no tactions opposition to Sir .Joseph and his colleagues when they assume oflice will be offered by the I’elorm Party seems to be the interpretation that may most suitably be placed on the resolution that was adopted by it at its caucus yesterday. While affirming its conlidonco in the Prime Minister as its !(. 'der. the party has expressed its “determination to stand loyally with him in whatever course the exigencies 0 f the present political situation may render necessary in the interests of the Dominion as a whole, which the party, as in the past, places he lore all other considerations.” This resolution represents a gesture which should commend itself to the public hy its recognition of the public weal as the interest that is paramount, transcending nil considerations df mere party advantage.— Dunedin paper.
