T)ARLIAMENT has decreed that New JL Zealand ehall excel any Australian colony in the numerical strength of her mili tary contingent, and it is a foregone conclu sion that Her Majesty will be advised by the Secretary of State, the Hon. Joseph Chamber lain, to reciprocate the unexpected extent of our loyalty by some recognition worthy of a devoted people, who have sent such a mili tary force to demonstrate our warlike in stincts and ability to aid old England in the event of war. That recognition will be, without doubt, a title to the originator and tactician who has carried his proposals in the face of a hostile section of Parliament. No doubt Her Majesty will deem a mere knighthood too meagre an honour for a statesman who has shown such Imperialistic exuberance. Queen Victoria will undoubtedly show some dis crimination in awarding honours to Colonial Premiers, and we may look forward with confidence to the Liberal Leader of New Zealand returning with something more than a "Sir" to his name. The form of title itself may not be so very easy to place. There is one which from the analogy of strength and popularity will be generally accepted at Home and abroad as apropos. The Premier will go home as plain Mr. Seddon. What if he should return as LORD SURATURA? He is Strong. So is Suratura Tea He has promised Economy. So does Suratura Tea He is not a blend of India or China. No more is Suratura Tea His name is known throughout N.Z. So is that of Kuratura Tea ! He has a reputation. So has Suratura Tea He goes farther than other Premiers. So doea Suratura than ordinary Teas JOHN ORR & CO., Agent.
