THE MINISTRY.
If it is really necessary that the Prime Minister should go about the country for the purpose of deciding upon the position of signal-taxes, and that his colleagues should, for electioneering purposes, be called upon to perform similarly trivial duties, then, unquestionably, the number of paid Ministers will ha.ve to be increased very materially. JBut both the Ministers and the country would be a great deal better .off if the former left these details to their subordinates. If Ministers confined themselves to the propar functions of the political head of ,a \ department, instead of acting as chief clerks and assistant engineers, in addition to carrying on a continual campaign of electioneering., says the Christchurch "Press," the work of administration, would be greatly improved, and there would be no feasible excuse for an increabe in their numbers.
