ELECTORAL CENSUS.
The Government intends finding work for another army of men in securing the registration.: of electors for the forthcoming election. Apart from the absurdity of expending money in reinstating on the rolls the names of those whom the law has declared shall be struck off for failure to vote at the last election, the principle of practically compelling peopfe to register is one which is open to the very gravest objection. One cannot help .thinking that the motive which prompts the Government in throwing away thousands of pounds in the taking of an electoral census is an ulteidor one, and that the licensing question wall be found to have aii important bearing upo nthe subject.
