THE NO-CONFIDENCE DEBATE.
After the small guns had discharged ■their harmless shot in the House of (Representatives yesterday, the big machines got to work, and the peppering appears to have been hot and strong. Mr Massey made a dignified, yet passionate declaration that the will of the people in the matter of Government should be respected. Sir Joseph Ward .'replied with the astounding assertion that he still retained the confidence of the electors. The margin •is so narrow that it is hard to decide what will _■ happen. Mr Massey appears anxious for another ejection, and as some of-the Labourites and Independents do not seem particularly mindful of their seats, /the probabilities are that the outcome of the present crisis will be another early appeal to the country.
