— Commenting on the appointment oif Professor PearsoQ to orgpnibe the^puf -cation- Department, a Victorian pia'pet says :-r-He .is to receive^ it is said[ ,£I2OQ . ,a year, or £25 per week — iq other wordsj as muQh as would support the: families of a dozen miners — for having, as we have Baid,~delivePßil^oiia -leettirei made' four^speedhes, ; and [cqu-l 'a; single election, in. t|e, interests jjOjfthe, Commuflists j ; ..T^ile^jiheje are! scores o^ of poor .creatures starving, and hjqiidredp of families in a state of desti-l Motion. m_this .mis governed colony j fresh, burdens, are heaped on.- tlje tax^ payers • and there is even some talk of. f/ th_e.

And so the* process of! pauperising the colony proceeds fromi day to day ; and so .it is likely to' con- j tinue now that the Teigri of jjobbery has; been formally inaugurated. It is just; aTepetition of the f infamous system of j " The spoils to the victors," which has j :wrought su~ch ; incalculable evila in 'the; United States. Kor should we be at j all surprised to hear it declared that | every other department in the public j service is disorganised, and must be set j right again by the introduction of a num- ! her of the creatures of the present Ministry, who wil jbe al'o tved to dip their hands into the pockets of the- unfortunate taxpayers as deeply as Professor Pearson is about to do. Toryism in power will prove to be a dear bargain foe ! the deluded people before long.
