The fighting Editor and the subEditor. The contrast between brain and muscle will be noticed.

The Liberals of Napier are divided into two contending parties over the question as to who shall be appointed to represent them in the Legislative Council. The chosen of one party is Mr. H. P. Cohen, while the opposition swear by Mr. Henry Williams and will have no other. Urgent representations have been made to the Government by both sides in favour of their favourites. If the Government has any sense it will appoint neither. They are “ both bloated capitalists” and there are too many rich men in Parliament already. There are many to choose from who have done good work for the Liberal cause in Napier. If Mr. Scddou would put a few of their names in a hat, shake them up, close his eyes, and draw out one and appoint that one he could not go far wrong.

Aspirant for seat on the Licensing Bench: “ Did you say that Isitt or Gain were having dinner in the next room ?” Waiter: “No Sir, they just came in to enquire for Mr, Bell." Aspirant for seat, &c., &c.: “Then cart me in another bottle of Pommery.”
