The Bunny Pest.
To the Editor of the Standard.
Sir, —Your issue of the 15th contains a letter written by “ A Shearer,” complaining of the wages being cut down lor shearing, and also complaining ol other matters, amongst them the bunny pest. I have nothing to say about the wages for shearing, but feel I must on the rabbit [question. " Shearer ” says there is one Bunny he hopes the ferrets will not kill, and wants him to come forth at the next election lot Parliament and fight manfully once more. Now, Mr Editor, 1 think we have already had too much of this Bunny pest in Parliament, and on Education Boards, Local Bodies, Ac., and I hope the electors will rise up as they have done the last two elections, and keep the Bunny oat, for of two evils let us choose the least, I also hope they will strive to keep him out of the Public Bodies in future ; he is only upheld by a few whom ha
tries to assist whenever he baa the ohanoo, out of the Government or public money, (never out of his own pocket.) I felt some what disgusted when I read the letter in the same issue re Feathcrstou School Committee. The writer of that letter is doing nothing but toadying to this same Bunny all through. This is the class of people that uphold him. I am, Ac., Nor a Shkabsr. Featherston, October 18,
