GOOD OLD DEMOCRACY!
It has. remained for Mr H. Tavlor, a genial sort of political quidnunc who hailsr from the Thames, to remind the House of Representative:! that the conferring of d3ie herjKta-y title of "Baronet" upon Sir Joseph Ward wasi really an honour to the Democracy, showing, as it did, that the titles were not reserved for tlhe British Democracy alone. Sublime apology! Stupendous reasoning! It is passing slirange that .the late Mr Gladstone,- and the late Mr Seddon
positively refused to allow the Democracy 'be 'h'onoured" in the same manner that it has been "honoured" -through Sir Joseph Ward. It is extraordinary that Mr Andrew Fisher, Prime Minister of the Commonwealth, despised even the empty bauble of a University degree. But these men 'were not friends of tho Democracy. They were mere circumstances in. the political sphere compared with the Baronet of tho Bluff!
