PUK.UIKK'S I'IRM STAND. Dunedin, Thursday. Sir Joseph Ward, in a communication to the Dunedin Star, says tii.it the 1 decision to stop tins Roxburgh-Lawrence line, pending Parliament reviewing the position, is unalterable.

The suggestion that Southland influences, aad been responsible for the Covernmcnt's action was baseless and without warrant: while the wretched suggestion that it was do:ie to punish the district because it was staunch to an Oppositionist was almost too contemptible when considered in the matter of such vital import.
