UPS AND DOWNS.
Party tips and downs are experienced in every part of the world—excepting New Zealand. Here the "ups" appear to be always up, aaid the "down.*" always down. It may not for ever he so. The London "Telegraph," says that "all things go by action and re-action, and every party in turn, after a long (tenure of office, forgets that truth. Each thinks .in the heyday of its domination that politics are changed for ever, and that the "outs" will never again be "in' and triumphant. It is usually at such moments of arrogance on the part of those in possession that popular opinion begins silently to swing; and in a.few years roles are reversed in, the old way. Those wlio were down are up, and those who were up are down."
