The following nicely put paragraph appears in the Hawke’s Bay Herald : — “Sir Robert Fawler has soon followed Charles Bradlaugh into the silent land, after exhibiting towards him for several years the most unreasoning animosity. Sir Robert Fowler, when Bradlaugh was forcibly expelled from the House of Commons by six policemen, and received injuries thereby from which he never recovered, stood near the policemen, gesticulating and shouting out, ‘That’s right, kick him out, kick him out.’ In the face of the fact that both men are dead, does not all that took place between them seem petty ? And is it not strange that men should find time to hate each other at all, and especially on speculative questions, seeing that in the course of a few years haters and hated alike must be dust ?” There is a nice little moral to be drawn from this, and that is that the Herald and all other journals should remember what is said above, and never more give way to uncharitableness in dealing with opponents.
