A SECRET LAND BALLOT.
The land ballots taken in New, Zealand are popularly supposed to be secret. This, however, is no excuse for the secrecy that i s being observed over tha ballot for the Mangamahoe gracing runs, which is to be taken, at Masterton on Tuesday next. ' A notice of the ballot has, we believe, been published in the Government Gaaette, but as this is not seen by one person in a thousand, it may readilv be understood that the general public is entirely ignorant oi.the proceedings. There axe a considerable number of people in this district in search of land, and the least the Government could have done was to advertise the ballot in the columns of the local newspapers. The neglect to do so is probably an oversight-, but these oversights should not be possible in a Department that is conducted on business lines.
