During an interview with the Earl to-day, he said to the reporter:— " I have come out to see the colonies and to get some experience of the democratic political life in them. I have travelled a good deal in America, but have never until now set foot in any part of Australia. The leading men at Home are beginning to look upon colonial Governorships as providing very excellent training ground between the smaller and the higher political offices in the Empire. The idea is that a man should begin his political life in England, con tinue it for a time in the colonies, and then finish it at Home. Hitherto the politics of the Old Country and the politics of the colonies have been rather out of touch, and there is now a desire that they should be brought more into harmony, and that we should better understand each other. The feeling originated during the tenure of office of the present Government, but Lord Rosebery was more strongly im pressed with it than any of the Conserva tive body.
