THE REASON FOR IT.
A great number of people are wond ring what was the particular motive of the Prime Miinster in presenting such a budget of promissory-notes in the Governor's Speech. The motive is not difficult to discover. Sir Joseph Ward has a suspicion, no doubt, that this week will see the Massey Government hi power, and that another appeal to the country may follow at an early date. With this prospect in view he submits a manifesto to the electors which he hopes will take tlie wind out of the Massey sails. The scheme is one of the most cunninglydevised that has ever been projected by a colonial politician. But its very audacity will condemn it in the eyes of thinking people.
