COLONIAL GOVERNORS,.
PROPOSED APPOINTMENT OF COLONIALS. Adelaide, November 20. In the State Assembly the Premier, Mr. T. Price, tabled the reply received from Earl Crcwc, Secretary of State for the Colonies, to the South Australian Government's suggestion that the State Governors should in future be selected from the inhabitants of the State itself.
Earl Crewe's despatch states that to adopt the suggestion that the appointments should be made from Australian citizens would involve a far-veaching change. The suggestion could not, he considers, be entertained in any case unless applied to all Australian States and not to one alone, nor until public opinion is dqmonstrated to be over< whelmingly in its favor. Earl Crewe adds: ''No doubt much could lie said in favor of the Canadian system, under which the central Government appoints provincial Governors. It' the people of Australia desired a similar system the Imperial Government would in all probability be disposed to advise the King to meet their wishes."
