THE PROPOSED WARD TESTIMONIAL.
Sir,—Can anything be more harmful to tho j manhood of tho people than the sycophantic toadying of a small section of this community? (Dhe latest evidence of it is tho idea of making a presentation to Sir Joseph Ward. And, forsooth, for what? Because, with tho money which* ho has yet to tax out of the people in a time of depression, he, without even the authority of the people's own representatives, magnanimously and magnificently offered one, and, if necessary, two battleships of tho first-class to the British Navy I Because Sir Joseph Ward is doing this with our money wo are to make him a presentation 1 I would suggest that Messrs. Coates, Dykes, Luke, and Co. send the hat round amongst the retrenched Civil Servants and, ask them to head the subscription lists. —I am, etc., ■ 'A. MAN. May 16.
