GOVERNMENT BY INTRIGUE.
A .report is being persistently circulated to the effect that Sir Joseph Ward intends tendering his resignation .to the Governor immediately the House meets next month, so that the Contiiaiuous Ministry may go to a division with another leader. It is thought, by this means, to overcome the election pledges of the Labour members, and to sceulre their support for the discredited party by : this device. On© may be quite prepared to expect something of this sort from a party w'hitih has Deen governed by intrigue a.nd expediency for many years past. If (the Labour members think, however ,t!rat their pledge is to oust Sir Joseph Ward and not his party, they have grievously misjudged .public opinion. The nvandato of the people lias been given a.s much against the Continuous Ministry as it hue against its autocratic leader.
