The result of the by-election is at once a sweeping condemnation of the Lea Government and a signal tribute to the popularity and ability of Mr. Sharp, whom we congratulate most heartily. The Second District of Prince is also deserving of the warm- est congratulations.

Nothing now remains for the Lea Government but to tender its resig- nation at the earliest opportunity. and give the electors generally a chance of returning a competent and business-like administration under the leadership of the Hon. J. D. Stewart. '
