Vkrily flunkeyism flourishes in Her Majesty's colony of New Zealand generally, and the provincial district of Canterbury in particular. We have before this come to the conclusion that" Jeames" of the Morning Post has emigrated to New Zealand and obtained an engagement on a Christchurch paper. We are more than ever convinced of the truth of this conclusion after perusing a paragraph in a hite issue of the Times. We are there informed that " the children attending the St John's Church Sunday school, Hororata, were, with their teachers, entertained by the Hon. Mrs Hall, at her residence, on Saturday." The italics are our own. Really, we don't know where Jo mes is going *o draw the lino. We shall expect next to hear of the " Hon Master Jones " being hoisted for playing truant, or the " Hon Miss Brown " obtaining commendation for her elegant crochet work. How a shoddy aristocracy may like this sort of toadyism uc don't know, but to the great mass of sensible men and women in tho colony its effect is simply
nauseating.
