THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.
The appointment of Sir HallJones to the Legislative Council has given satisfaction from one end of the Dominion to tho other. Before the Government can hope to secure the passage of its reform measure, however, it will require to make several further appointments'. There appears to be a very general desire that legislation should be passed this- session to make the Upper House elective, and if this is to be done, at least half-a-dozien new appointments will be necessary. The cost to the Dominion would not be very great, seeing that the terme of a number of sitting Councillors expire early next year. In view of the possibilities, wo would again urge the claims of tihe Wairarapa to consideration, and would suggest that Mr A. W. Hogg, who is a fiiln believer in the elective principle 'as applied to the Upper House, should be one of the appointees. Apart altogether from party politics, we know of noi man whose appointment at the present juncture would be more popular, and more deserved, than that of Mr Hogg.
