The Wairarapa "Daily Times" breaks out editorially:—"Every year it is being borne in upon us that the present condition of society is intolerable—that it is a. rotten crumbling fabric, and that it cannot much longer exist at all. The conviction finds expression in Socialistic visions, in anarchical scheme. Some dream of a fair day, of a new world; others try to hasten the coming of that good time which still seems so far off, by .some sensational act to make men stand still and bethink them! How is society knit together? By the ties of expediency, of necessity. The savagery of a bygone time is veiled, but it is not departed. What mighty upheaval is at hand."
