NO BOSS OF THE SHOW.
THE Opposition Party in. Parliament have no leader. The members have voluntarily decided to be leaderless, and each man will take his own course in the House — criticise, oppose, obstruct — just as he may please. This is about the only thing open to the Party, which is numerically weak. There are many Radicals on the Opposition benches, and in the present temper of the constituencies, nothing less than a live Radical leader will do any good. That leader has yet to come forward, but he'll get there at the right moment. The Radicals themselves must look for that leader, and, if he is not to be found in the House, then they must look outside. It is imperative to emphasise this point, that the electors will not stand any man who can, in any way, be called "Conservative," to act as leader. It is, of course, political cant, but it is cant that must be respected. A radical change by Radicals is necessary, and the sooner the Opposition Radicals realise it the better. A complete and thorough revolution is wanted, and will be appreciated just as the revolution caused by Suratura in the tea trade has been, and is, appreciated. Suratura comes from Ceylon, and is noted for its purity, strength, and fragrance. Suratura is guaranteed not blended with Indian, China, or any cheap or inferior teas.
