OPPOSITION TACTICS.

We are anthorised to state tJS^'the^asgertipn of .the Hon. W. For-tnafc'tKe Balaries A of 'the civil servants at Duiiedin had not been , paidj irregular course is absolately without foundation. His assertions look-like deliberate attempt to injure thWOoloriy. for" r !p3UV ■ Ucft'l purposes. The copy of a leader from ; the'Ti^aiu Herald sent by the Press Agency 1 to the' effect that Government oheques have been dishonoured is also false v/ The .a.u|h9ra of i thege | fabrications must know they are cirqulating falsehoods.

The'ue!e of needlessly strong language has been seldom rebuked in a more-telling manner than in the following /letterHwhichV ithe ,' Madras ;Timeß says.was penned in good faith bj; the mapager of a great company in Madras, ,and addressed to a European subordinate.— " Dear Sir— lt is with extreme regret that I have to bring to your nofrioe that } I observed very unprofessional conduct on youfparb this morning when making a trial trip. I allude to the Abusive langauge you used to the drivers and others. This I consider an unwarrantable assumption /of, my -duties) and funotions, and I may say rights and privileges. Should' , you wish to abuse any of our 'emplayees,l think it will be best in future to 'dd so m regular form, and I beg to point out what I consider this to be. Yotrwil^ please submit to me in writing^ the /'form' of bath 'you wish' to use, when, if it meets my approval; jl shall at once sanction it, but if not I shall refer the same to the Directors, and in the course of a few weeks their decision will be known". Perhaps, to save time, it might be as well to submit a list of expletives general! y^use/by^ou^and I can then at once ; refer*fno^e lo whion l^object to the Directors for their c decision.' But, pending that, you will please' .underst^rid'iiliat-air cursing and swearing at drivers and others engaged on the traf^q arrangements in which you may wish to indulge " must; be done in writing and through me. By adopting tbis course you will perceive how much responsibility you will save yourself, and how YfSyTOubh the business of the company wi^be expedited and it's interests promoted." v Ov^^
