Tasmania, is without a Governor. That 'is harclly to be wondered at when' it is considered that all she has to offer an English knight desirous of a change of air is £2750 a year... But the; goodwill 1 and loyally of the peopled is thrown in—and Tasmanians say it is worth a lot. Replying to resolutions urging the appointment of a new Governor in succession to Sir William Allardyce, who resigned 18 -months ago, the Tasmanian Premier said recently that he would like to see an appointment made.- but. the State could not afford a higher salary'than the present one. which, apparently, is not sufficient, to attract gentlemen from England. “Tin Governor comes.” ,said the Premier, “all he can expect, in addition to the salary provided for the office, is the goodwill and loyalty of all the people.”
