SIR JOSEPH'S DECISION.
Sir Joseph Ward made it clear to a depuration which waited upon him yesterday that he does not intend reconsidering his decision to retire from the Premiership. He ;.oeais now to have accepted the verdict of the country a>s against himself, and. intends standing down in the meantime. Why lie did not pursue this course immediately after the election is best known to himself. It is interesting to note that he predicts another appeal to the country .within twelve months. This is precisely what we had anticipated Any Minkltiry which may be formed from the heterogeneous mass which calls itself Liberal-Labour can only be a. stop-gap affair. It cannot possibly transact useful business, though it may remain- in office sufficiently long to hind the country 111 an inextricable mess.
