OU R LETTER BOX

Spectator. — Don't believe your story. You had better try the Herald. W.H.W., Eltbam.-Yes, there should certainly be each an agreement. Coupon.— Our drawing takes place in Xmas week. We shall advertise the date. Peteb Simple. — You 'prefer a female Mayor at Onehunga, do you ? Well, Peter, you are welcome to our share of it. We have no preference that way. James S.— Your schoolmaster is pulling your leg, James. You are not built for a ' literoorary ' career. Your father is right. Stick to the flax-dressing machine. Stablight. — We do not agree with you altogether about doing away with the law enabling a girl to proceed for breach of promise of marriage. If the girl is wronged, she should have some redress at law. T.R. • You concern lest Parliament should not meet before June is unnecessary. The country will not be ruined. Indeed, very little harm would happen to the country if Parliament never met. On the contrary, much good might result. Unionist. — We quite agree with you. It is the privilege o! any class that is strong enough to do so to elect a representative of his own, and there is no reason why the tradeß unionists should not. At the same time, they were not stroog enough at the recent election. Fkozen Meat. — We fail to see what encouragement you would ask from the Government lor this trade, unless it is the encouragement of opening fresh markets. Surely you can't want a protective duty. We import no meat. If it is a bonus on exports you are urging, then we are against it. Did you see that the Get»r Co. has just paid ten cent. Why cannot other companies follow suit ?
