Tiik Dunedin “ Herald,” unlike its able contemporary, the “ Star,” is quite contented with the present system of railway management. If Commissioner Conyers could only he induced to take up his residence and spend his £I2OO per year in Dunedin all would be right. But the “Herald” strongly objects to an alteration of differential rates, lest it should benefit Canterbury. Singularly enough, on the Port Chalmers line, just
under the “ Herald’s ” nose, differential rates are working-- satisfactorily—in tact they arc necessary to enable the railway department to compote with the Tighterage traffic. Is the comprehensive mind : of the “ Herald to grasj) any-i thing beyond thg smoke of itsj parent; city ? All we urge,. and all that the enlightened and independent portion of the Otago press'has urged, is that the railways instead of being a burden on the population, should he managed by the Government in something- after the saiild atylc’.as they would be managed if they were in private hands.
