Featherston School Committee Election.

To the Editor of the Standard. Bib,— This subject is becoming rather sts'e, but peimit me to hare a word or two u Ihave been hinted at It is well-known that •• Fiat Jos ilia " has had a relapse lately ol hia old complaint. This writing business ia p'waye a sure sign ot it, (or writing to him ia as great a luxury as tight boots are to people in trouble. The subject altogether is not worth the irk chat has been need over it, leaving the trouble out ot the question. The matte; was beneath my notice bad he not written what appeared o your iasne ot last Friday. Even •• Fiat " can err. He baa hit the wrong nark this time Permit me to offer him a small bit ol advice, though it he like pominp water on a duck’s back. I’ll charge him nothing lor it. ’’ Fiat," dear mao, do endeavor to prevent that nase' organ ot yours poling into the affaire ol those that concern you not; others f v e lar too heavily handicapped when you are about. So you profess to be the ohsinpion ol the plaoe, do yon ' Well, so you are, what 1 huvr heard be true. Wueu you led a forlorn hope you ciinio.l :he " lort ; your exploit wall lire c aliilld you ' ilii'it.- crwm.hoth iu the nr.n----..,.r cl he capture you made, end .ha. w;..5h you op.''.iii, , Ii is no mere trifle ;o see re a kin/ .uauu yourself ii ’’'cuhins ; try .iu i I in txoiU ns.ug the word la;..'»■«» ;ud i.-ni ,j».u.

Astray again " Fiat.” sod you thougbt you touched oettaiu gentlemen, Boor mau, what led yo- to think so ? Was it because some one happened to reply to yorr first production }urt to humor you f Well, well, eome people are easily gn"ed, and made believe that they rre ol greater importance then uatve eve. intended them. There arc ''idiv.dnala who would slide off this eaith and never be missed, but lot others who think them so veiy very clever, because they were koowd to sci.bble a few lines to a newspaper occasionally. The next time you aim, “ Fiat,’’ t-y and hit your mark, and don’t add to your already numerous iailingi, that ol introducing iut i your correspondence thoae who have no wish whatever to ia any way concern themsetvee with yon or your affairs. Yon have been proved to be a most meddlesome and mieohievou* man. You are g-ltod with oacoethes ecribendi, nod are never so much at home as when vilifying someone, especially if they are Bkely to deprive yon ol any trade. So yon will always expose a wrong I Ate you suit you will, and do you I Hae there beeu no wrongs done that yon were glad to see kept as the deed f Brave old mau, just apply this to yontsell and 1 have done with you.
