The Wairarapa Daily. SATURDAY, JULY 9, 1887. LIBERAL MISREPRESENTATION.

For rank and contemptible nonsense commend us to the Liberal organ in the. town of Napier,, which appears to be industriously engaged iu setting class against ekss, and innoculcatiug with social festers?'the unfortunate people who are weak enough to be led oy such a sorry and malicious journal, lira recent article, after discussing what it calls the Tory class it adds:—" The saddest part of this "melancholy business indeed, has " relation to.the electors. Men who "have in the manifestation of. their "nature proved themselves to be "utterly contemptible, will still.find "among a considerable section of the "trading and working classes, elec- " tors so lost to shame as to heart and " soul support them, ml the fact is " one of those deplorable things which "can neither be disguised! or retne- '•' died- The disposition to abase.ftie '•■" soul at the feet of some mean crea-' •/to, simply-because it possesses V large estates-no matter how ao-'iquired-and heaps of wealtlif-no ;"mattor how gained is :;f in"herent in some natures?'' A untruthful..or uncharitable, sentence has seldom been penned than that we have quoted. " The disposition to debase the soul to some mean creature"' is an unworthy libelonanymaninthecommunitywhatever his rank or position may or may jiot be. In no country in the world is there so little respect ;paid ; ,to Aere' Wealth as there is in New Zealand. Even the Sundowner who depends upon the benevolence of the squatter

host iyith cbaracteristfo independence. 1 Then again it ■will be noticed -that-the; writer of the vil&;rubbisb in the Napier': Organ.; associates'.tlie. possession .of wealth with that of meanness, Eyery-'. body knows that the'ricliqr people -of the Colony aye not, as a plass, rnean. It is true they know the value of money and are careful hot-to waste they are in many instances kindly and r pneroiis men who are always- : to do;their:fellowworkprs and traders,, vote' for'wealthy coloiiiats as legislators as

Mayors, as Councillors and ;as.;.Trus< tees't'iidt'because the rich candidates have money, but because they have, brains and pluck, honesty and enter•prise. They- are men who have fought theitfbwn battles in life and have won them, scoring off their own bats. These menalwaya command the support of every intelligent elector, whether he bo aroadman or a squatter. We know scores of working men who. refuse to be, humbugged by class .tries, who ridioule the idea of giving thoir votes to, candidates whom they would not trust .with abad-half-orown, who laugh, at the idea of setting up some helpless mortal to rulethe country, who is incapable of managing'his own private affairs. There is no hero or mammon

worship in New Zealand! Even, wealth, cannot command a popular; vote unless'some other sterling qualities accompany it. Men care little for mere money, but they think inucli of the tact, the shrewdness-the industry, and the honesty which enables a man to make money, Many of our best public' men are rich and some are poor, but they owe their position neither to their wealth on the oiie hand nor to their poverty on the other, but to their personal worth and ability,

Oun Carterton contemporary asks Mr W. O. Buchanan, as a ji)st and houorable man, to contradict tho vile calumny that he attempted to levy black mail on that gentlemnn. If Mr Buchanan acquits the Carterton Observer, we shall be delighted to acknowledge the falseness of the rumor to which we gave publicity, but we fancy the appeal to Mr Buchanan mado by our Carterton contemporary, and endorsed by. our Masterton contemporary, is ut piece of blustering impudence. •"''

Oun local contemporary is endeavor-1 ing to conceal the fact that he is responsible for the hitch that has arisen with the erection of the Masterton Side School, The simple facts of the case are as follows:'—At the last meeting of the Board Mr A. W. Brown, (a member of the Site Committee), admitted, that the Committee had agreed to a report recommending, the Simoos; site, but that in consequence', of a commimkation received from Masterton the report which had been agreed to* was withheld. Wo affirm that, this eommmicaiirn received from- Master-: ton was a ■■ communication - from MY A. W. Hogg, who, should Masterton lose the side school, is directly responsible for the loss: -Mr A, W.< Hogg may think that he has made a clover 'stab in the, dark, at the side school, but Mr A, W. Brown through whom he operated has lot the cat out of tho bag. At the Board it is well known that, the side school has been smothered, if not killed, by Mr A. W. Hogg. -',,.-. ~ ■- . ..

Puff in the Press says:'—Unemployed at Sydney 1 313 are new arrivals from England, 313 from Victoria, 224 from New Zealand, 82 from South Australia and 169 from Queensland !

Wo learn from the Auckland correspondent of the Post that Thomas Hall, the Timaru poisoner, is reported to be Blowly but of aßthma. . Ho suffers terribly from the malady, which renders him Unfit for work or sleep. Ho complains that he has fewer privileges allowed than at Lyttleton, and seems to consider himself entitled to more consideration than ordinary, prisoners. He wears a look of indiscribable hopeless woe, but receives letters at stated intor<vala from his wifo and mother.

This is a free country; We do not volunteer unnecessary advico as to the spending of money, nor do we take' all tkeoredit for the present low pricoa. of drapery goods, but wo do say we offer advantages not obtainable elsewhere. We ihave already distributed : some thousands of our Jubilee gifts, and up to the end of the month hope to give away as many more This is putting into pratice the advice so often Jieard of late," Let us Jubilate, let us be merry,let us be wise," in securing our share of them at the Wholesale Family Drapery Warehouse, Te Aro House, Cuba street, Wellington.—ADVT.
