• The Otago.Daily Times says.:—" The stutement that Sir Wro. Fox is about to establish himself on the Weßt Const for some months, if well founded means neither more nor less than that the member for Rangi'ikei is to. be Native Minister without portfolio. The truth is we f«ar thnthis counsels have for some time pust overweighted those of the ostensible Native Ministry, and that he more than anybody else is accountable for the rupture that has occurred in the Cabinet. The impolicy of depriving the West Coast Commission of the moderating irfluence of Sir Dillon B«ll has now made itself understood. If he had remained Sir W. Fox's colleague, it is nearly certain that the difference between Cimmissionerand Native Minister would have been Bmoothed over, and tint nothing would have occurred to place either Commissioner or Government in a fulse position. What we vnaicttiin, however, is that neither he nor anybody else ought to be allowed to act as Native Minister whether generally or in relation to the affairs on the West Coast alone, in a position external to the Cabinet. The tffect of h b" being allowed to do so must inevitably be tJnjtt the interests of the colony will be Baerficerl lotbe furtherance of his own special objects."
