unemployed at . Christchurch we demanding work from the Minister of Labour. The Hon. gentleman would not meet them as a body so three hearty groans were given each r for the Lyttelton Times and the Hon. W. P. Reeves, and three cheers for the Press. Nice young people these. TJje Mayor of Chiistchurch is also a candidate for Parliament.- He has the poor working man much to heart;* He does not like the haughty Minister, he had been treated very very 6avalierly by him. Good . gruoious ! if the Minister did not r~ recognise' a Mayor of course a work. irig man would have a small show, Mr Eden George, the before motioned Mayor, is a genius as " well as. a photographer. He is sftfiftriwd that the Government did not obtain a vote lor £25,000 to jpHrtfii' a canal to Christchurch,' it would have given the unemployed work all the winter. This is a sample of the 'utter rot some would be legislators; talk. The Mayor even, attempted to give a reason for the i execution of this stupendous piece of folly. The canal would be ' -so^sefnl if anything happened to tße tunnel through an earthquake ! Good Mr George supposing there waraTT6ali;h'o;ft*fike severe" enough to injure the tunnel, where and oh where would the canal be ?
