LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.
TO OVERCOME ITS OPPOSITION. By Telegraph—Own Correspondent. Wellington, Last Night. Commenting on the rejection by the Council of the Legislative Council Bill (providing for a three years' term of office), the Evening Post says: "The necessary steps should be promptly taken to overcome the contumacious opposition of an irresponsible representative and singularly unintelligent body j>o a necessary measure for its own reform. The Government will not have the slightest difficulty in finding a dozen or, if the occasion demanded it, two dozen men of higher capacity and public standing than the majority of the present Council; who nre determined to block its reform. His Excellency should know the names of a sufficient number with as little delay as possible. When the appointments have been made, the Councillors who have made such a step necessary will be able to see tlieir own folly in the same clear light in which it already appears to everybody else."
