MODERN POLITICS
[To Tite Editor.]
Sir,—Would you kindly publish the following extract from a lady’s letter from Wellington: ‘I suppose you get an echo of what is going on in the political world, but all honest people are disgusted with the trend of affairs—reckless personal expenditure on the one hand, and wholesale dismissal on the other —offers of Dreadnoughts when wo are steeped in debt and the cry of the unemployed so bitter. To thinking people it is an absolute horror that our public men should openly advance personal gain under the cloak of patriotism, and that there arc none honest or bravo enough to denounce such public shame. Now the session, thev say, is to he. postponed to serve party ends, and the country' suffers, and more money that is so badly wanted recklessly wasted.’ —I am, etc., “SUBSCRIBER.”
