Until that time, it is unwise for any of the colonies to try, single handed, to ‘•get back” on Germany, aud our public bodies will do well if they rest content with making a dignified protest without attempting any boycott.—Hokitika Leader.

Definite assurance should be forthcoming on this point before such a grave step is undertaken as the despatch of a Tenth Contingent.—Egmout Settler. One mean landlord in conjunction with one dirty tenant can set up a plague centre anywhere.—Sydney Sunday Times*
