Mr, Doss, if he is to live up to the character, the assumed posses- sion of which is said to make him a more available leader than Mr. Hardy, , will now take up eagerly his duty and begin at once these prosecutions which the late Government neglected. Pos- sibly he might not have thought of the 4. Matter if it had not been for; the un- pleasant coincidence of the unseating of Breithaupt of North Waterloo, with his accession to power. But this will • remind him of his first and most press- ing duty. The country waits to see if ' he conies in to initugueate a 'really better regime than that of Hardy; or if he, too, is afraid of the Machine.
