Lovely Dead Heads.
It is reported that the reason why the Railway Department has made a regulation preventing guards from demanding tickets from passengers travelling in Ministerial compartments in train?, is that on two occasions recently, when the Minister of Justice was travelling with a party of ladfe? belonging to the Woman's Political League oq tha Wellington Napier section, a guard was so conscientious, or, from a Ministerial point of view, presumptuous, as to rf quest the production of tickets. On the second occasion, the Minister it is said, stormed at the official for his " impertinence " and " presumptir.n," and said he would soon put a stop to that sort of thing, with the result that an edict has gone forth that neither members of the Government nor their friend;?, using the railway*, are to be in any way interrogated or interfered with by the officials of the Railway Department in the future. — Ej?mont Post.
