CORRESPONDENCE.

I Lgp j To tlie Editor.

j Sir,—ln last Monday's paper was a j letter from a correspondent who signs j himself '"Lively Ratepayer," ill wliicli hj.: I criticises ''old fogies" and "non-progres- > sive ratepayers' in Uie Okato district, I and somebody was so proud of it as to ■ to post it up on tile Royal Arms Cheese , Factory. "Lively ratepayer" has a 'good cheek to criticise better men than 'himself, for better men they certainly are. I am sure that, if one of those ' "°M fogies" or "non-progressives" had | criticised anyone through the paper, he, would have signed his name to ' jt . and would not have hidden behind a ! Willi de plume, but would have given the ! person he criticised a chance' to deI tend h.inself. IYi-hays if "Lively Ratepayer" is tile man T think lie is," T could j point out a few of his faults if he had signed his name. Anyhow, I think it I would be much better for him to mind his business instead of poking his nooM ' into other people's all'airs. If he writes any more letters to the pilper, I hope ; lie will be British enough to sign his I name, and whether it 'is an K'nglish I " r il foreign one, I may be "able I to show him that lie is like a' lot more |of u;, far from being perfect.—l am etc. I , W.
