THE PREMIER'S RETICENCE.
The reticence of the Prime Minister concerning the political situation i« developing into a, scandal. Sir Joseph Wiard absolutely refuses to take the country into his. confidlence. He is noting about the Country as though 1 pursued by a nightmare, an<s wihen> questioned hevmerely remarks, "I have nothing to say." Surely a man who Shad any respect for the dignity of his position, or the feelings of tlie people, would .make some sort of an announcement as to his intentions. Surely Sir Joseph Ward has been afforded sufficient time in which to test the .strength of parties a-nd, to ascertain lids' own; .position. If he wants .fuirther time, wihy doe* he not -&ay so? If lie intends reconstructing his Ministry and carrying oni uintil April, or May, or June, why does lie not im&ke a declaration) to this effect ? :It is positively disgraceful that the country should be kept in suspense att so ca-dtioal' <a period, in its poiM[tica<l history.
