THE COLONIAL OFFICE.

REORGANISATION Of the Colonial Office has been effected and most people will agree that the change han como none too soon. This may be taken as one of the reaults of the recent Colonial Conference. Many are inclined to think that the Conference was practically resultless, but we are disposed to believe that good seeds have been sown and that results

will gradually appear. The Imperial

view and the Colonial view have been ast aide by side and divergencies have been noted. Misunderstandings have been cleared up and it has been impres sed upon the Imperial authorities that the system of dealing with the Colonies is susceptible of improvement. This in itself is a great advance. With the partial information we now possess it would be unwise to say that satisfactory arrangements have been made but the creation of ono department to deal with the self-goyering Colonies and another with the Crown Colonics is a decided improvement. It is common knowledge that matters of the highest importance to individual Colonies have, in the past, been hung up for an unconscionably
