LOCAL BODIES BILL.
It is very mice of the Hon. G. W. Russell to -suggest that the Local Bodies Bill be put through Parliament before • the parties come to grips. The Bill [vtnay b'e all that the Minister claims ji.fo.r it. An .ahso'l ufcely assured finance may be given, to local Ibadies, an-d all Ahe -rest of it. It is, however, of far •greater' moment to the country that its Legislature should be on a soil a 1 [•footing than its local foodies should be j oared for. Mir Miaesey is, we venture |to thirik, quite as ecaripptent to put | onto effect the wishes o>f the kc.»l bodj ies.as is the Hon. G. W. Russell. , The •first duty of Parliament ,is to jealously guard its constitutional privileges, and •Mr Husisefll must know that " : t would be degrading the constitution for any Ministry which is in a minority in +.} ie .House to introduce legislation, ho ifc ever so beneficent.
