(From our own Correspondent.)

September 17th, 1890. I notice that you devote a leader to our loan, and give us a bit of good advice. Let us hope that settlers will take the hint, and lay ail selfishness on one side. If the loan is lost the chief agitator in its favor here will be the principal party to it. He lias been working very hard for it, yet on several occasions when he has been unable to convince a settler to vote for the loan, he has defiantly remarked ** wo will carry the loan in spite of yon** —certainly not a nice spirit, and the wrung way to go to work iu winning votes.
The loan's chance of being carried is now very doubttul. It has been losing favor lately, and unless opinion takes a turn on polling day, 1 think it is safe to predict the following result.—ln favor of it, 15 votes here and 20 or possibly 25 in Masterton. The roll number, 1 under stand is over 89.
School for Kaitawa.
