THE RAILWAY EXPERT.
It i& somewhat astonishing to find the •railway servants of the Dominion protesting against the .proposal to import a high'ly-rpaid expert to manage the railways of the Dominion. If tho servants are doing their work as they should bo doing, what have they to fear in. an expert being placed in charge of them?' u tlie employees- in
a commercial concern, which was be-
ing indifferently run,, were to .protest agaiiivst the appointment of a'.manager who knew bis business, they would lay themselves open to the charge of being isjuprdmoly impudent. What would have been thought of the Terjiitorials of tho Dtomiinion if they had protested against the importation of an expert officer? All things being equal, we aro in. favour of our oMn people being given preference in important appointments; but when it comes to a .matter of managing a concern .ini: w-liiidh over thirty millions of money lia>9 been sunk, it will at once be seen that things (are by no means' equal. We want the best man available to ,put bur railway system in thorough order.
