M. W. A. HOLMAN.
In politics, ,as in civil life, the whirligig of tirao produces important changes. A few months ago oxie of the leading polticians of New Zealand, in Sir Joseph Ward, was relegated to political obscurity. Now we find Mr. W. A. Holman, the one-time idol oi New South Wales, and for many years Premier of that State, rejected by the peoplo. Both of these gentlemen had rendered conspicuous service to the community, and their rejection assumes something in the nature of a national calamity. Mr. flolman has refused to bend his knee to the Labour prophet, and he has paid the penalty of his independence. It yet remains to be seen whether the Labour Party will sepuro a working majority in the New South Wales Parliament. If it does so at the price of lising the services of the leading democrat of the State, the people may live to rue theu decision
