THE LAND BILL.
The Government is to be congratulated upon having got its Lnnd Bill through the Committee stage. The Bill is an advance upon anything previously attempted in the way of land legislation, and although it i« not perfect, it will assist very materially in prompting the settlement of the land on satisfactory lines. The "hullabaloo" set up by the city members of the Opposition was the last dying kick, aa it were, of a party that views land settlement frolm the chair of the city office, and that knows as rrnrh about Liiral requirements- as it docs
about the man in the moon. Sir Joseph Ward has declared himself for the freehold, and unless he dissociates himself from the Badicals of his party, he will have a hard row! to ho© when he comes ta place a policy, hefore the countiy. With the Land Bill out of the way, Parliament may he more disposed to settle down to business and deal rationally with the other policy measures to be introduced.
