A Second Rejoinder
•> . Then gently scan your brother man, To step aside is human. The very mild castigation we administered to the Manawatu Times in our last issue, appears to have had a more serious effect upon the editor than we expected. We hoped that our polite rojoinder to his silly attacks on this journal would make him sensible of the ridiculous position in which his ignorance and selfconceit had placed him. That he would aeeept the inevitable, and make an abject apology was, perhaps, too Braeh to expect from such a source, yet we were surprised and pained to notice by a ** delirious local" in his last night's issue that his already weak mind had given way under the strain. We can account in no other manner for the utter nonsense, snd vulgar abuse contained in the "local." We would reply to a fair and manly attack if couched m decent language, but we must decline to enter the lists with one who has at his command, and uses, the low vituperative powers of a eostermonger.
