CORRESPONDENCE.

POLITICAL. To the Editor of the Star. Sib,— Mr P. McKeown, at Mr MeGuire's meeting here on Saturday, said, in criticising the speech jnefc delivered, be failed to see where Mr McGnire*B " independence i " came ia. He had condemned universities and high schools. Why did he not mention also that there are 33,000 people supplying their own schools with education while being taxed to educate other children ? He had been assured by Mr McGuire, while canvassing for his seat, that the subject should not be lost sight of by him, &o. To enlighten Mr McKeown, may I ask him if it i 3 not a fact that Mr McGuire did vote for a sum of £500 to be paid to the Eoman Catholic Mount Magdala Asylum, Christchurch ? there being other bodies equally entitled to N such a vote — viz., one in Auckland under the management of Mrs Cowie; similar institutions in Wellington; besides five rescue homes in Auokland, Wellington, Cbristohurcb, and Dunedin, which received nothing. — I em, &0., Opunake.
