MR DOWIE AND THE COLONIAL PRESS.
(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.) Christchurch, February 9. The Rev Mr Dowie has fallen foul of the press here, which has generally let him alone. One evening journal referred to one of his supposed cures, that of a blind man. Mr Dowie grew personal at his meeting to-night. He said the New Zealand press was the most libellous and scurrilous he had ever experienced, but after all there were some papers nearly as bad. The editor of the Melbourne Age was a direct descendant of Ananias; the editor of the Melbourne Argus was a descendant of the impenitent thief ; and Mr Dowie could not apparently find genealogy sufficiently bad for the editor of the Telegraph.
