NEW ZEALAND STANDS ALONE.

In the account of the Australian fed
Grafton published in the Inter Mountain
on January !, mention was made of the
fact that New Zealand had determined
hot to enter that union. This position
on the part of people representing the
ultima thule of British colonization and
settlement is unique, Yet New Zealand
erS have plenty of reasons in justifca-
ti"n of their act. In the first place the
position assumed is not necessarily final,
and the time will probably come when
c immunity of interests will bring New
Zealand into the federation. At pres
ent. however, New Zealanders claim
L 1T except for the fact of kinship there
j. absolutely no bond of union between
thr two sides of the Tasmian sea. AS
an independent state, New Zealand has
n.ore than held its own. It's orators
fond of claiming that it has set the
world an example in progressive legis-
IL ;ion. 1t has done what it has done by
maintaining its position of se!f-reliance
subject, of course, to the always valued
connection with the throne. Its leading
n,cnSir George Grey. Sir Robert Stait,
Ballance, Seldom and w. P. Reeves
have done a work which no other colo
ny has attempted, and which, perhaps,
II" other five politicians in any part OF
the empire have succeeded in carrying
out The legislation of the colony has
been more daring, its people more pro-
eressive, its energies better directed
and it's revenues infinitely more -four
fishing than has been the case during
recent years with any other colony under
the crown.
This is partly the result of natural ad-
Nantages of soil and climate, which, in
their turn, react on character and give
the New Zealander more energy, hardi-
hood and elf-reliance than would 9th.
CT things being equal, be expected from
the Australian. But it is also held to
be the result of complete and absolute
