To give an ■ inistanice: The Sydney Morning Hdrald, in giving a small thiree or four inch article referrinig to the Government recently formed in New Zealand, wrote of the Leader of the Legislative Council as the young member .for Wellington Suburbs, and tire Postmaster-G.ewe.ra.l as an unknown quantity from Thames. I was .also iby the article eon eluding 'iihat 'New Zealand had made a mistake in going back to the. Conselrvatfive party, while side by aide the same ' paper had an article extolling the virtues of the New South Wales Liberal party.
