WELLINGTON.
(From our own Correspondent.) This day, Mendacious Correspondents.
The mendacity of some one, on a little print in Auckland, is astounding. A' few days ago I told you he would drag any newspaper he was connected with into a scrape, and he surely will. It appears now that " Shareholder's" letter about the Titanic Steel Company and its secretary, Mr Macdonald, was not strong enough for the writer (probably the editor would not allow stronger), so he made it hot and strong in his telegram, though done at the expense of the truth. The letter says that the secretary of the.Company obtained his position by favour. '' The telegram," which purports to be the substance of the letter, says that McDonald obtained his position by " toadying," pretty clearly showing that the author of the telegram and letter is at once the aggrieved "Shareholder," and unworthy correspondent of the papers mentioned in the previous telegram. As the Tribune would have nothing more to do with the fellow, he is at present making the Neto Zealand Times a receptacle for his lies. But he is but a bungler after all, and always shows the cloven hoof.
