The Premier.
Aijj parties will regret to learn of the serious turn the illness of the Premier has taken. It is always a matter of regret that our public service seems to demand the lives as well as the energy of our public men. It is not only unfortunate but it appears to us almost criminal, and we have no right to make our politics a resemblance of those heathen customs which creates a Juggernaut car to crush its votaries. Mr Ballance is an honest gentleman and has worked hard for the benefit of the Colony, and though we do not agree with the views he thinks best to adopt, it does not prevent us from recognising that he is the mouthpiece of the views of a large number of our fellow colonists, and is there-! fore entitled to every respect. His illness, so We ■understand, ' is J very similar to that which proved fatal to the late Sir Harry ; Atkinson, and is therefore 'of- serious moment* -He /is so disabled as to have, for a time, to resign the leadership of the House .to the Hon Mr Sdddon . We honestly nope to hear of his earlier restoration to health than is, at present, looked for, and that his party may be able to enjoy the valuable assistance he has, at all risks, given to them. :
