Ten thousand acres more land gone ! Hurrah ! So much less to quarrel about and legislate upon, The Reid Executive is carrying out its programme of settling the country to the very letter. Brave, liberal, settlement - pro noting Govern ment ! Sell away while you have the chance. It is far better ihat every acre in the province should be sold than that the General Government should have it under its control. It is better for us to be ruined under the rule of Reid and Co. that to be prosperous under the General Government. Let the inhabitants of Otago buck the Provincial Government up and fight the battle of freedom and progress while there is a 50,000 acre block jeft to sell. As for those who happen to suffer in the conflict, why, if they can't abide by the fortune of war, let them leave the country. They can go to Victoria, where they will be gladly welcomed. Such selfish people are not wanted in this enlightened province.
