"PARLIAMENT has decreed thab New I Zealand shall 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 Stste, 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. Thab recognition will be, without doubt, a title to the originator and tactician who has carried his proposals in the face of a hostile aec ion 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 chow some die crimination in swarding 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 cf ttlc 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 harj promised Economy. j So does Suratura Tea He is nob a blend of India or China. No more is Suratura Tea His name is known throughout N.Z. So is that of Suratura Tea ! He has a reputation. So has Suratura Tea! He goes farther than other Premiers. j So does Suratura than ordinary Teas !
