THE PRIME MINISTER CAUTIOUS.
0- \ A lot of people are wondering just / why the Prime Minister deserted Par- I Kament last week to make a tour of i tho Ota go bhck-blocks. Possibly the
worry about Government Houses, and new Parliament buildings, and adverse votes in the Housed bad got upon his nerves. At anyrate, he went south, and while he was there he was apparently in good humour, for the Dunedin Star says that he was. Albeit, he could not be coaxed into promising a vote for another seo tion of the Lawrence-Roxburgh railway. The Star says that "he spoke pleasantly to the people, but absolutely refused to commit himself on the matter." So that LawrenceRoxburgh, like Masterton-Wajpuku-aru, will have to keep on waiting. The Dunedin paper, after referring sympathetically to the Prime Minister's visit, asks ,""\Vhat will be the result to Otago?" Echo answers, what?
