A PRETTY WIT.
I'he Evening Post describes as a "pretty wit" the statement by tlie Age that the ehalllenge made by Mr R. McNiab to Mir Massey is a "triviality." Possibly the Post thinks that Mr McNiab's' vindication is of greater. moment to the Dominion than/ the acquisition' by a band of speculators* of a large slice- of country wfliieh should have been. thrown open to public selection. We confess tduvt we arc not ourselves particuliarly concerned about Mr MeNab's connection! withi the business. What we want.to know is, "Why did the Goverinmieiit sanction a transaction' which] practically robs the peopfe- of their birthright?" This is the point at issue, and we propose sticking to it, notwithstanding t'lie of the' Post.
