A Generous Movement.

AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW THE ABSENCE OF ANIMUS. Thebe are times when those most bitterly opposed to each other should sink their differences, and if anyone has reason to feel aggrieved at the actions of another person tfiat feeling of resentment should not be allowed to redact upqn a t|}ird and entirely innocent person.

He was only able to stay in town for a short time yesterday, and had not the opportunity of soliciting donations from many who would be almost certain to respond.

All subscriptions sent to the Standard offioe will He duly acknowledged. Those received by Mr Tuohy (£7 Sc being actual cash) were :— ‘ ' ’ " > - .
