We need mot ne7oaE sur feszsssly expressed views
q The desilableness of at least irving to obtain
Hrndn Immigrants We have fully and, as far as
OF IEt-atisns went, impsrtially discussed the
rslsiiozs bssEssn the Sovereign, the Ministry and
the RsoFae, and especially the proper relative
fl1e1iozs OF RinE, Ministry, and Legislature
We 90 not think that the interests of any one, in

~ have enforced with no uncertain tone. We
belirve that the vissst and safest course for the
kizC Is 10 obtain for Ministers msn in whose
tnterrltT and ability be and also the public have
cu11Genoe, and TO place upon them the entire
rrsPu-uabllity Of governing. For this purpose
Ministers must have their hands strengthened by
rrcsising The Kings confidence and by the public
i1uo,uiag TIA, they are 50 trusted We have sought
. suforOe this yicw, and in 50 doing we have had
no friends TO favor and 90 enemies to pursue In
The long run. As we are convinced, the sentiment
of AinR and OF People will be found TO coincide
cu1serling men who can be trusted for Cabinet

rersu- FeEh15s ths saying, fool and his money
nra soan parted may explain our meaning. But
however that may be- it Is by intelligence and by
eaFrtai-or credit which is often as useful-that
cis1i1nssd comuunities whether large or small are
he'd s1ccssSfully. Wen for them, If corruption is
nade as hsipless factor as ignorance is. Thus
thirkiaC. We havs seldom felt like yielding to
dn7r1ndinR views Of the political future of these
lfaAnds- Bui unlesz men of nfeIlieence-whether
tf4ir accumularions be large or srnal-are willing
to Hssurne their legitimate responsibilities and
F-hlic burders- tley need not complain at any

n nat vel at present to have polilics divided be-
swern those who are in office anu those who are
