MOUNTAINS AND MOLEHILLS.
The Opposition Press is making a mountain of the little molehill constructed •'by the Secretary of the Reform League about the stonewall. The circular sent out by the Secretary was issued on his own initiative, and without the authority or knowledge of the Reform Party, and was marked And just because some person whose code of honour is peculiar has sent the circular to a newspaper whose code of honour is an unknown quantity, the pious lsitt and his Cliristchurch claqueurs are losing their heads and crying "shame" upon the Government for having c'nred to be identified with a Reform Party which possesses a Secretary that sends out,circulars to people who do not know how to respect confidences. Some of the less reputable Christchu'rch papers have thought fit to follow the example of the Wellington paper, and publish the "confidential" circular, in the hope that it will influence votes in the Lyttelton elecfion. But only those
who havo a distorted virion of what constitutes honourable conduct will be influenced against the Government by the . issuing of a perfectly legitimate circular which was marked "confidential."
