THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.
Wellington's Dominion expresses the opinion that the opponents of Legislative Council reform will view with dismay the manner in which the second reading of the Bill to make the Upper House elective was carried yesterday. Instead of a desperate strug-
gle and anxious counting of heads the
second reading of the measure was agreed to by 21 votes to 8. Those people who have been seeking to cast dotihts on the good faith of the Government in respect of Legislative Council reform will now require to revise their opinions. With so large a majority in its favor, the Bill should experience little difficulty in passing the Legislative Council. Its passage in the House of Representatives may
be less smooth, hut it must not be for-
S gotten that the Lower Cliamber has al--1 ready endorsed the elective prinicple.
