Trouble for the Government.
Ministers of the Crown wk travelling by the Manawatu Rai way have a rock ahead of the: until Shannon is passed. In thi township Mr J. R. Stansell Ik lately taken up his abode, and thus lies in wait to catch all Ministers who pass by unto whom he explains how and what they should do. The other day . Sir Joseph Ward travelled to Palmerston, the fact of which became known to the Shannon spider. He got his men summoned and with newspaper that contained the grotesque report of the Shannon bridge, travelled to Levin to await the Minister, The Shannon men were a bit too * previous, as the Minister had heard nothing, but he judiciously i-emarked that it would need very strong representation to bring about alterations.
For the future we understand all Ministers going north will travel by Wairarapa line.
