CORRESPONDENCE.

TO THE EDITOS. Sib, — The eimple thing to do for carrying on our Catholic schools is tax ourselves as others do. The English are not so Prussified or Bismarck-ridden as to insist on us Catholics paying rates for schools, under ban of the Church, when they see us burdening ourselves for the maintenance of our own seminaries. They profess being admirers of fair-play ; they must, then, condemn a man's being double weighted with his own and his neighbour's burden. The Catholics of Ne,v Zealand should organise at the various centres of population union?, committees and officers for tho purpose of collecting funds, to be deposited with the Bishops, so as to enable their Lordships to erect and maintain schools wherever they see proper. Of course every Catholic in Maorilund should go to gaol rather than pay the Government imposition. — I am, &c , D. M. Camebox. Riverton.
