LATE CORRESPONDENCE.

BRICKS AND VOTES. To the Editor. Sir. —After reading the letter published in a certain Home paper, “ Public Opinion,” and also your editorial remarks about the untruths and exaggeration contained in the said letter, in my opinion, a good portion of the letter was founded on hard, cruel facts, and had the writer not cast a slur on the character of New Zealanders, I .would say the letter would do just about as much good as harm, even with the lies thrown in.

I cannot believe that New Zealanders purposely threw bricks down on a Homey who was working below them, and cut his face. Now. I am a New Zealander, and at present suffering hardships along with thousands of others, on account of the overstocked labour market. At the same time the New Zealander is quite sober enough to know who to aim bricks at. It certainly won’t be at the deluded Homey next election, but rather at their deceiver, or deceivers, and as many of them as we can bring down with bricks we have been making without straw for the last few years.—l am, etc., C. CRAIG.
