GENERAL BOOTH'S SCHEME.
TO THE KDITOR. Sin,—lt is about time that the people of this country were made aware of the terrible danger with which they are threatened by tho.se soft-hearted and equally soft-headed individuals who seem inclined to lend a willing ear to the project of flooding these fair isles with the mnrnl rubbish of Kngland. In my opinion it is tho duty of every man who takes, the slightest interest in the future welfare of New Zealand to npposn to the utmost of his ability the landing of one single member of Booth's " reformed" criminals or benighted paupers upon our shores. We have already u large pauper and criminal element of our own, and we should most emphatically object to its increase by tho introduction of the scourings of the slums of " Darkest England. ' Any student of human nature—any man with even the most superficial knowledge of the laws of hereditary—who reflects for one moment will see the disastrous effects the introduction of Booth's pets must have upon the physical, mental and moral wellbeing of generations of New Zealanders yet unborn.—Youre truly, New Zbalandkr.
