THE UPPER HOUSE
OPINIONS ON APPOINTMENT'S. Auckland, April 4. In its editorial column, to-night’s Star says:—“A Wellington correspondent discusses to-day the report that Sir Joseph Ward contemplates making a dozen or so appointments to the Legisativle iCbuncil. The original report was not without its humour, for it stated that 200 patriots had put their .claims before the Prime-Minister, including some good Reformers whose hopes had been dashed by the defeat of their party. Our correspondent, howe\er, does not think that 'Sir Joseph will do anything of the kind, and we agree with him.
“It is true that under the long Reform regime the representation of Liberalism in the .Council dwindled away, so that when the new Government took office it was necessary to appoint the Leader of the Council frolin outside. Nevertheless, there is nothing in the present composition of the Council to make it necessary to appoint a large hatch of 'councillors. Sir Joseph Ward might well look about for two or three men of distinction who could help Air. Sidey in his work of leading the Council, hut, unless the Council makes a practice of throwing out his measures, he will not he called upon to go further.”
