DRUNKEN CIVIL SERVANTS.
A number of railway men have recently been dismissed in the South Island for being under the influence of liquor when on duty. The Uamaru Mail says that "the time has arrived when men who aro engaged "in callings which entail responsibility for the safety of the public "should be compelled to be total "abstainers." The Mail might enquire into the habits of some of the policemen in the South. There are a few of them down that way—though not in Oamaru, of course—who feel that they require "a little for their .stomach's sake." A policeman under the influence of liquor presents almost as unedifying a spectacle as a railway servant.
