ARE WE SHABBY?
The Dunedin Star tbinlc jthat neither Parliament nor the taxpayers would like to look shabby ovef the Premier's expenses to the Old Country. in the past Sir Joseph Ward has taken a small retinue with him, and he lias felt some scruples about charging it all up to the taxpayers. The last time he went Home, the country paid him only £BOO, and he had to pay a good deal out of his own pocket. This year, Parliament has allotted him £2OOO, and the Dunedin paper hints that this may be too little. It is rather a pity that a. Liberal Prime Minister should have, any limit at all placed upon his personal expenditure when he is hob-nobbing with Royalty. The "Lib-Labs.", as they Have been sacreligeously termed, have a penchant for doing things on the grand scale—at the other fellow's expense.
