The Provincial Council of Otago Dissolved.

[Per Anglo-Au_t.raj.ian Telegram Company,]

WELLINGTON.

This day. A New Zealand Gazette extraordinary has been published, containing a Cabinet minute regarding the dissolution of the Otago Pro vincial Council. After stating the facts it gives the Superintendent's telegram to the Government, stating that he had declined the names of the Executive submitted by Mr Reid. Money was being wasted, and no business done.

The official minute hy Mr Vogel says there does nob appear to be any statutory necessity that the request for dissolution, if made by Superintendent or by the Provincial Council must, in order that effect shall be given to it, be concurred in by Council or Superintendent as the case may be. This impression has crown out of a feeling that if the Superinten dent alone or the Council alone had power to determine a dissolution such power might be used to coerce the non-concurring party. The only instance in which a dissolution was granted at the request of the Superintendent alone was in Auckland when Mr Stafford was Premier. He granted it because the action of the Council shewed it to be deter mined not to carry on the business of the province. It does not appear that Mr Mac andrew's refusal to accept Mr Reid's ex ecutive is opposed to the principles of responsible Government. The only authority for Mr Macandrew's action isjthat the Execu tive are to hold office during the pleasure of the Superintendent. If the Superintendent was bound to act in accordance with advice and counsel^ of the Executive, and no Execu tive to work with there must by a dead-lock, the only way to avoid which isja dissolution. The Superintendent might have called upon Mr Reid's executive to resign, if the Govern ment concurred in the memorialists' con demnation of the Superintendent. A new Council was necessary. The Government was unable to seethe jus tice of the memorialists' complaints regarding Mr Reid's dismissal. No constitutional ruler would submit to the head of his Government accepting office under another Government without advising him. It was doubtful whether the Superintendent had power to dissolve, but there was no ooustitu tional argument against it. The Superin tendent, by dissolving, submits his conduct to public criticism. Upon these considera tions the Cabinet granted a dissolution.

DUNEDIN.

This day.

The Daily Himes believes that Mr Macan _rew has a promise from the Government to dissolve the Council, otherwise he would not have -ventured on such a bold steps as the prorogation. There was no question of policy before the Council. Even the Superin tendent's supporters would have voted against Mr Tolmies' Executive remaining in office.

The Times censures the General Govern ment for granting a dissolution, and asks what will be the precedent established if the Superintendent is allowed to get rid of his Council, or put members to the expense of a contested election whenever some members entertain views opposed to his own. The Council must necessarily follow ; and if the members are to proceed with business they must become the mere sycophants of the Superintendent. Ministers' reasons for the course taken should be sought for in the General Assembly. Anderson and Mowatt quote flour at £11 10s; oats, 4s;, oatmeal, £20 ; wheat, 4s 9d ; barley, 7s ; pearl barley, £32. A correspondent of the Times suggests Major Richardson as Superintendent, as com manding the respect of both parties, and as the electors are heartily sick of the Mac andrew-Reid squabble. The Otago country press urges the abolition of Provincial Councils.
