The heroism displayed by the early workers commands the admiration of all.

West Coast paper, and in a way ilia! the professor little expected. In out' of his local addresses Mr Mills stated that the Labour supporters would

rather vote Eor a "Yellow Do;: than for a Reform candidate. It appears that the local representative of ihe Flowery Land took the allusion lo the "Yellow Dog" as relating to themselves and were much incensed accordingly. "What for him say we "v ellow dog?" said one local Celestial. "There plenty white dog, yellow dog. black dog. That no good. We vote Leform." And a party of seven hied in and voted against progress and democracy.
