TEMPERANCE AND TEMPERANCE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS. Sir,—-Under the above heading you allow an anonymous Amberley correspondent, who signs himself "Temperate," to give what purports to be a report of certain remarks made by myself, and to indulge in some indignant condemnation of the same. There is not more than one-fourth of fact to threefourths of either unintentional error or wilful misatatemenb in his so-called quotation. We are frequently taken to task for our mode of conducting the Prohibitionist paper, but I venture to think that the editors of our dailies might advantageously take a leaf out of pur book. We publish stroDg things, it is true, bub had such a statement been made to us by any anonymous correspondent we would not have published it; nor would we have published it over a signature until we had some confirmation of the truth of the report, When you and your contemporaries are as particular the conflict we are engaged in will be waged more fairly.—Yours, &c, Frank W. Isitt.
