The boas ia New Zealand is a poor, mean person, anyhow, in the eyes of the workman. He is the machine without feeling that disgorges cash and ia bossed by the people he disgorges to. He is the unconscionable human whose books and trade are public property, and who dare not dismiss a protected unionist who is a dodderer for the unprotected non-unionist, who is a ll tiger.” He is the under dog, beoause Seddon is on top merely by the one-sided concessions he has always made to the boss’s boss.—Greytown Standard.

But happily wo are to be spared anything of that kind.— Ohristchurch Times. We are sick and tired of Seddon and Taylor and their publio postulations, and the yells of their partisan witnessed around the street corners, and their snivelling for sympathy, and their shrill notes of indignation and whinnyings of despair.
