The present Ministry is noted for its quibbling propensities. An instance of this was given in the House of Kepre. sentatives on Thursday afternoon, when, in replying to Mr Stewart, the Post-raaster-General said Government had not communicated with the Government of any of the Australian colonies, desiring them not to employ telegraphic officials dismissed or retired from the service of this colony. The names of certain parties who had taken a prominent part in the recent strike were, however, reported to the Telegraph Department ot those colonies. It was a mean piece of revenge to endeavor to prevent the dismissed telegraphists from earning a living in another colony. It is gratifying to know that the telegraph authorities of New South Wales did not pay the slightest attention to the representations of the New Zealand Government, and that almost all of the operators got employment in Sydney.
