CORRESPONDENCE.
I [to the editor.] Sir,—The present one-horse Government seem to fancy themselves great at alterations for " the benefit of the poor struggling settler," (?) apparently fancying they can "lick creation." Now, Sir, do you. think, taking into consideration their great "creative power," it would be any good asking them to pass a-"Dis-pensation Act," whereby this beautiful " Rimu Bush " could be inade into good firewood; or, as they so much desire to benefit the " down trooden working man," amongst their other blessings about to be dispensed, they might foster a new industry in the shape of charcoal. Then we would not have to contend with quite so much smoke at our fireside.—l am, etc.,
Struggling Settler. Suaday Drinking. (To the Editor). Sib—ls it not time the polise of Masterten exercised a littls vigilance in the direction of preventing Sunday trading ? No less than a dozen inebriates wore brought under my personal observation in the public streets yesterday, and yet lam assured that the police cells this morning are quite empty. Can any explanation be given by the police ? I am, etc.,
Orthodoxy.
