THE I'REMIEU AND MR STEAD

Tun l Jreiiiiti-is not always so seerctivq, with his eoiTCipontlenco as ho appears' to havo been with hij rep'y to the stinging letter from Mr W. T. Stoad, o. tho Review of Reviews, when lh 9 latter returned the £200 paid by tho Now Zealand Gnvurnment for an article about New Zealand which was mainly illustrated with Mi Sedilon in all sorts o f attitudes. It will bo remembered that strong opposition was shown in the House of Representatives to tho passing of tho voto, dually on the ground of Mr Stead's pro-Boer opinions. Of course it was a satire upon] the exuberant loyalty displayed by l.'.r Seddou to know that the journal he selected for advertising hia ulira-loyol eoleny should be owned by one who has jnado himself so notorious as an opponent of everything Imperialistic Mr Scddon i 3 such a devout bi-lievor iD, but as our Pro-miei-'s poli'ical existence depends upon being kept "in tho public eyo" ho is not too particular about the method employed or tho medium used. The troublo waa that anyone dared to ques tion Mr Seddon's statement that Mr Stead had nothing to do with the Australasian edition uf iho Review, but when the man himself, by loiter and by cheque, puis our Premier in the wrong, tho position becomes rather acute. It is to bo hoped ihct tho two great men will mc 4in London this month anj settle their differences in private.
