THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.
What are the intentions of the Government in regard to the Legislative Council? Does it propose making a considerable number of appointments before the next session, so that the 'refornvof the Council will be immediately assured P Or will it take the risk of having some of its policy measures jettisoned, and allow the Reform Bill to stand over until tho last session of Parliament? On the score of economy, the latter course might bo advisable. But, if tho electoral machinery is to be materially altered some time must be given in which to mako the necessary preparations for an election. It would seem imperative, therefore, that tho Council be .strengthened considerably before next
session. . Pcssioly the Prime Minister may be induced to make a statement on the subject on his yet urn to Wellington.
