SEEKING UNEARNED TIPS.
MB. CARNEGIE'S BENEFACTIONS. [by TELEGRAPH.SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.] V Wellington, Tueeday. In commenting on Mr. Carnegie's letter to the Parnell Borough Council, the Post remarks :— "Will Parnell profit by the slap, or will the jCouncil further "demean itself by modifying the plans and repeating its petition for foreign funds? The quality of charity may be unduly strained, 1 and may bless neither him who gives nor him who takes. If ' Carnegie's benefactions have , the effect of sapping selfreliance and sturdy, independence, once much prized, he will do far more mischief in dispensing his millions than ever he did in amassing them. • It is not a noble spectacle this cap-in-hand posture of New Zealand communities seeking unearned tips from a distant millionaire. -
