MR. A. W. HOGG.
A correspondent of the New Zealand Times suggests that the Government should consider the claims of Mr A.
, VV. Hogg lor appointment to the Leglislativo Council, and mentions a remark made by Mr Mac:ey st Eketahuna some months ago to the effect -that the ex-member l\/r Mastcrton should be called to the Upper Chamber. We freely admit that Mr Hogg's long services to the country entitle him to some consideration. At the. same time, we would point out that circumstances alter cases. When. Mr Massey urged thy claims of Mr Hogg, lie had in view the filling of vacancies on the Council by the bto Government. It would be obviously absurd for Mr Mnsscy to make, the appointin on t when Jie desires the Council to lie elective, or, in the alternative, to strengthen it with men who are in ■ sympathy with tlio Reform programme.
