The Wairarapa Daily. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1887. PUBLICITY.

It is strange, but true, that the one thing that the Democratic champion in the Masterton. election appears to dread is publicity. Hitherto publicity has been the breath of his nostrils, but now that ho lias become a candidate himself, he shuns that bulls-eye lantern" publicity," and crios out if a single ray from it falls upon him, When at an upcountry meeting a reporter happons to put in an appearance, the Democrat is altogether disconcerted and blushes liko a maiden of fifteen. He doesn't want what he tells the electors to. be reported, but has a quiet word—a pig's whisper—for their ear, which he does not expect to see in print.' lie even forgets to report himself. • The laat issue of our local contemporary declares that Mr Hogg is prevented by his own position on the journal with which he is identified for sounding his own praises. This is sad, aud we very inuoh regret 'that thowioked peoplo of Masterton instead of sympathising withMr Hogg's light being,hid under -his own bashful.bushel should be laughing at hif profession of .modesty as if there were anything extraordinary in his declining tosound his own praises. We are afraid the •' Working man" that ho on the premises is hardly doing'his duty, and we trust that out local contomporary mll- wake him' up, It will- never do for Mr Hogg's pVaises not to be sounded by some one md if he cai get no one else to undertake the delio# and . difficult task,'we will seriously consider • the expediency of coming to his assistance. Tho Wellington, papers won't sound' it I The Evening Fross flouts him,, the Times ignores him, and even his old friend and coadjutor the Post will lmve none of him. Under these circumstances our local contemporary objects very properly to publicity, and .complains of

" The vast interest which the Wellingnewspapers are taking in the Masterton election."

Most people are very glad to see our ■Wellington friends taking an interest in our affairs, and perhaps no one would be more delighted to witness this than Mr Hogg, if only- the "Wellington friends had a good word for him. Unfortunately they have .not, and so lie says their attitude is " indecent," He accuses indeed a City journal of downright falsehood, and deliberate lying. We had thought that in view of a contingent promotion our' local contemporary was about to abandon the use of epithets of this .character, but. still if the .exercise of such scurrility , is conducive to the suppression of. publicity he may be excused for resorting to it. Our local contemporary objects to a Wellington newspaper saying "the MinistryJbavebrought forwardawii-

and are running Mm with ail me forces, legitimate or otherwise, of Ministerial support." Will our local contemporary be surprised' to be told that some time back an influential Cabinet Minister. said these words,- " W'e are going to brin# Mr Hoyi, r forward for Master ton." Our contemporary says," The statement that the Ministry Hare brought forward Mr , Hogg is one of the most unblushing falsehoods that ever disgraced the pages of a public journal," Assuming that the statement is false we would point, out that a-leading member" of the Cabinet is responsible for the falsehood. , Our contemporary winds up a somewhat furious article-with the following suggestive words, ". a venal and mean spirited press." A press' which does not recognise the superior merits ot a Mr' Hogg is no doubt venal and mean spirited, and ought to be . abolished.. Publicity appears to act upon our local contemporary, at this particular juncture, as a red rag on a' hull, and if he could have his own way he would no doubt annihilate all editors, reporters and. printers;, excepting the favored few who belong to the Observer office, and to 1 his own local staff, Such is the liberalism of our Democratic candidate. v' ' • : -

Ora .Carterton contemporary, says: - " M|ch sympathy js expressed with Mr Schroeder of Masterton ■ at _ his misfortune in having his store partially burnt, more especially • by the unkind and untrue remarks the Daily thought proper to mako when giving a report of tho fire and tho probable" origin., Fires break out-as we . all know -in very mysterious ways, and wo think it extremely unkind to attribute dishonest intentions to those who..alone, are the. greatest sufferers." We do not desire to anticipate the official enquiry,-but wo venture to affirm that anything contained or suggested in our report will be fully borne out and substantiated by tho ovidenco that will in duo courso be brought before the public.

We clip from the Pahiatua Star, the following particulars of the sad accident that happened there, last Friday:— " Reimann states that tho accident took, place in the following manner. He and Gray were working as mates in felling a, piece of bush along the Central road, and on Friday morning started a large rirnu. The tree had what.might be termed.two leans, aud after cutting'well into it, they decided to fell another broo "into it, so as. to make certain of the d}reotion ,in wliich it would fall. • They hai but just 'commenced the second tree.-when a sudden, gust of wind caught the rimu, and before Gray and Reimann were awaro of it the 'tree began to fall-right in the- direction where they .were-working, A-traok for a run had been previously out,.and the two started off at jull speed,-Gray being a few yards in front of• Reimann, A -few eecouds and ,tb§ tree' was down, Reimann taught a glimpse of a largo limb coming directly 011 his head, and he -moved on one side, : This saved his life,- but lie was pinned to the ground with a broken leg.Immediately lie was able to speak he hailed Gray to ascertain if lie had escaped but receiving' 110 reply concluded that' he was either dead gr had beon rendered insensible,. In tlm horrible suspense lie had to lay, not even bainp ablo to crawl to see if lie could render his oompanion any., assistance, The accident happened about eleven 111 tho morning and although Reimann coueed repeatedly, it was not until 1. 30 p.in. that assistance could bo got. At that time George Warburton, who was passing the vicinity, heard, the cooeeing, and wont in the direction to ascertain the cause; it was he who discovered and released Reimann, and then procured assistance to carry him out to the trap, • The damsel in Singapore is given a canoe and a double bladed paddle and allowed a start of some' distance, Tho suitor, similarly equipped, starts ofiF in chase. If he succeed in overtaking her she becomes hia wife ; if not the match is broken off. It ifl seldom that objection is raised at the last moment, and the race is geuerally a short one. The maiden's arm is strong, but her heart is soft and her nature is warm'and she soon becomes a willing captive. .If the marriage takes places where no stream is ne,'ir, a round-circle of d certain size is formed, the damsel is stripped of all but a waistband and given half the circle ■start,- and if she succeeds in running three times around before her suitor comes up with h«r alio, is .entitled to remain Buifjlft-j if nob consent' to the bonds of matrimony As in other cases .biit for outstrip their lovers,-All the Year Round, ' '
