Notes and Events.

"Love one another " is a fine old direction much neglected unfortunately in the newspaper world in this district, as witness the frequent allnsions made in our contemporaries about one another. For some reason unknown to ns the New Zealand Times and Mail love us not, for this we are much cast down, but would have been more did we not fiud that they loved others less, and are unbeloved in their turn. So the world goes round. In Tuesday's issue the N.Z. Times refers in the following manner to a newspaper which has many failings but which deserved a better recognition from the organ of Ministers. " With a cheap enterprise that is becoming rather characteristic of the Manayatu Standard, that interesting journal copied yesterday morning from the New Zealand Times, without a word of acknowledgment, the summary we published of Weddel • and Co.'s review for. 1893 of the frozen meat ' trade in the United Kingdom." M Cheap enterprise " seems becoming the characteristic of Government organs. It was a rather cheap enterprise on the part of the 'Times' proprietory to purchase a half-horse power motor to print that paper by electricity? We had a sample of cheap enterprise on the part of the Times when a column cut from the Review of Reviews was, perhaps in- , advertently, credited to its own London correspondent. We mentioned dates when we drew the Times' atteotion to the fact. A "Wellington journal in its wrath at the result of a trial declares "we have, however, a feeling of deep pity for the people of Wellington that the daily press of the city is so venal, so unjust, so dishonest in its treatment of publio matters." ■ All this is much to be deplored and a good deal of feeling has arisen Jfeora perhaps a none too fine percep- } tion that two and two make four. In othe.r_words newspapers make up ' pars ' from information gained from a contemporary ignoring its claim to recognition.
