INSURANCE CANVASSING.

TO THE EDITOB. Sir,— l did not follow this correspondence carefully until that mighty U.uslopogaas dealt out his inkosi-kaas •blow to rival canvassers. Since then I have examined the cause of this hubbub, and I must say, after reading the letter headed “A Warning to the Public,” that Mr Wallace’s effusion reminded mo of a fable I once read, where a' gentleman with a diseased mind imagined all sor:a of strange things which really existed in his own distorted mental calibre. In my •opinion “ Bitten" was perfectly Justifl d and within the sphere of common hmeaty to warn persons about to 'insure to see what they were doing, fur my experience is that onoe the money is paid and the bargain closed, 'there” is very little wound healing balsam to bo obtained from the insurance offices, and the only way to touch them in a aore spot ia to touch tlndr pockets by exposure. Why Mr Wallace takes to himself a# the person meant in '“Kitten's” letter I fail to sue, for it is not said whether the insurance was effected in South Camerbury or where, fiveu if it was, dt is only a 'short time ago I mot amth T person canvassing for the M L.A. in South Canterbury. However, I ara sorry that “ Bitten " 'suuuld have disturbed the mind of the 3 ile representative in South C uifc-m buy of the M.L.A. to such an extent as to make that lofty oiffcial say that what “ Bitten ’’ said in Ids letter was (i scurrilous anJ untrue.” lie should either go to school again Or keep ■ l ojjl. —I am, &c., An sx Canvasser.
