under his auspices. He could have told the Abcott story. Abcott was one of the dismissed clerks of the Education department who com mitted suicide.. On June 1, 187R, Abcott peli- tioned the Governor, saying:
"That your petitioner is above 54 years of age; that he has never been in receipt of a large salaty, and that he has now been withou employment for more than four months. Your petitioner is therefore without means, and, he fears that, unless he can obtain his compensation without further delay, and enter into business at once. the little provision which He has endes- voured to make for his children (viz., purchasing a small house by the aid of a building society, and assuring his life for a small amount) will be lost to them through want of means to continue the necessary periodical payments. 'Your Exc 1. lency is a father, and will reachly understar what the feelings of a father must be when he sees that, without any fault on his part, he has been ruined, and that his family is being brought to a state of destitution by circumstances over which he has no control.”
d
At a inter date Abcntt wrote to the Governor--| "The circumstances to which I feared to look forward have fully presented themselves this day. I have to meet, by the sale of my furniture and effects, the claims of my cre- ditors, and when that shall have been com- pleted, my lule ones will be without a home.

FOR SHANGHAI, KOBE & YOKOHAMA. RACE JACKETS,
In conclusion, permit me, Sir George, lo wish that your end may be as peaceful as mine will be I am about to take three grains of muriate of morphia, and as 1 cannot die and leave my babes to encounter the buffets of a cold HE Steamship and unfeeling world, I am doing my best to take them with me. Should I be so unfortunate as
to leave any of them behind me, I hope they will not be permitted to starve."
Abcolt, who had lost his home, his life policy. and his furniture, poisoned himself, but did not succeed in taking his children with him. But though Sir George Bowen does not mention the Abcoit case, he refers with pleasure to the circumstance that Ministers have found £1,000 to pay Professor Pearson (who had stood an election in their interests) for a report on the condition of the Education department, which was afterwards consigned to the waste-paper basket.
There is nothing in the despatches as quoted to show that, unhappily for the country, the blow recoiled. The reader must go to other sources to learn that this day, which was des- cribed by the Government organ" as one of revolution, was fel: by society to be such; that
·business was paralysed; that shopkeepers, find- ing that purchases were suspended, had to dis miss their employés by dozens; that there was an exodus of capital, owners of moncy, not knowing what was about, to happen next, seek ing investmen's outside of the colony; that real property became unsaleable. Yet all this occurred. And as the depression struck down, wards it gradually reached the labouring classes,
and in April and May. 1878, meetings attended by 2 000 and 3.000 of the unemployed were held in Melbourne.
Yet, imperfect as the despatches are, a study of them will reveal the 'secret of Sir George Bowen's failure-and the lesson is one for other Governors and for the colony to keep steadily in mind. Sir George Bowen never realised what the frat duty of a Covernor really is. He is always indulging in some contradictory plati- tudes upon the subject, saying on one page that Governor is not to be duinny or a figurehead, but is to exercise a powerful though moderating influence, and averting on another, as in the passage previously italicised, that in local
mauers the local Ministers are responsible alone
and that it is not for the Governor to interfere, save in matters of Imperial concern. These axioms are worthless. The first duty of the Governor-and Sir George Bowen never grasped it is to see to it that Ministers do not outrun the wishes and the direction of the Parliament. With- out such a check a violent, Ministrý can run riot In the absence of Parliament; and when n violent Ministry is so dispored, it is for the Governor, in the name and on behalf of Parlin- ment, to refuse his co-operation. When the Black Wednesday advice was offered him, all that the Governor had to say to his Ministe a was, "Gentlemen, I do not perceive that Parlia- ment has ordered that these men should be dismissed. On the contrary, the Assembly has passed estimates directing that they shall be employed. It supported your Premier in saying that the public service could not be possibly reduced. "When dismissals are to be wholesale, it is for Parliament to sanction them. Obtain the sanction of Parliament, and whatever my own views, I have nothing to say in the matter." It was the duty of any Gover nor so to speak, and if the Governor of the day had so spoken there would have been no Black Wednesday, for it is notorious that the Assembly would not have approved of their odious action, even though after the event the party majority did not see its way to desert of candemo its leaders. Thus Sir George Bowen was properly rebuked for having deserted at their utmost need the servants of the Crown, and left exposed to the violence of Ministers those whose fate ought to have been decided by the wisdom of Parliament,
Yet good comes out of evil, and, as the pay ment of members attack produced the Reformed Council, so Black Wednesday bas led to a Public Service Act, under which wholesale dismissals for a political purpose have been rendered practically impossible. For all that there is no occasion to thank the ill-doers, Praise is due to those who fought against the evil and established the good.
