All precedents require that, wheo the government has been confided toa new minister who has not the support of a majority in the I dure, a dissolution shall imme follow and an election be held the new minister shall retain office or give place to another who has the support of a majority in the new house. In no particular has Governor Mclnnes followed these precedents, which have become the uowritten law of the empire, enacted by the excuse for his appointment of Mr. Martin was that that gentleman might serve as a stop-gap until the popular will could be ascertained. He declared thut the legislature would be immediately dissolved and an election held without delay, and tin must complete bis cabinet ‘without’ “dee lay,"" or give place to another. Only two offices besides that held by Mr, Martin, have been filled, but he still ‘The legislature haw ee nounced that. owing to the time quired for the preparation of the voters’ lists, the election cannot be held till the end of May. The new legislature therefore cannot get to business till some time in June. This amounts to a suspension of representative institutions in the prwwince and the substitution of personal rule by Governor Mcinnes and Premier Martin, The tion of parliament and the delay in summoning it again was one of the s which cost King ised ai Tecompetent government becaure it was i a minority of one, the gov- ernor summoned a man who had no supporters whavever and, on the wretched pretext that time was re- ‘quired to prepare the voters’ lists, he turns over the government to that jo face of the fact that Mr. Martin cannot find three men of -| but the Boers showed that they had result ore general electior will go elsewhere and the riches the province will remain buried in its mountains. ‘Then hurry the election and if Governor Metnnes will not hasten action, let us try to have him re- placed by another. governor who has more regard for the public in- terest. -—— NOT SO GREAT, AFTER ALL, The men who, at the outset of the war and until after the battle of Spion Kop, lauded the strategy of the Boer geeerals and the fighting qualities of the Boer soldiers ure now revising their opinions. The which Lord Roberts turn- ed, Ge ji gersfontein, corner and forced his. surrender, proves that ‘the Lion of Afri all. He was outgeneraled at one point and Roberts’ strategy, with movements, made his elaborate en- trenchments wasted labor. The sol- dierly qualities of his men were also interior to those of the British, sitions at Belmont, Graspan and Modder river by Methuen’s men and, after they had rapulsed the as- sault at Magersfontein, they never ventured un attempt to drive Meth- hhe threw up. In all the fig! tion, for the British, in ulmost every in- stance, had to assume the aggres- sive and in many cases drove them from their, trenches. The one in- ‘stance where the Boers att empted ‘an assault was at Ladysmith on Back with terrific loss, Almost at other nation with the same adv: would have captured Lady- ‘smith, Kimberly and Mafeking in the four months they were besieged, ‘no stomach for aggressive war which required them to expose them to expose themselves in the open The disyraceful manner in whi the Boer Sodlerg routed as Osfon- tein is plain proof that the capture of Credle, the relief of Kimberly and and the expulsion of their Yorces from the part of Cape Colony south of the Orange river has demoralized the Boers.
