EAST COAST RAILWAY.
A great deal of noi.se is. being made on aocount of the suspension of operations on the Napier end of the East Coast railway. The Minister cf Public Works has probably very g;ood reason for suspending the work. There is a suspicion abroad that the line has been taken along the sea coast for -a number of miles for politicll reasons alone. Tire railways are popularly supposed to open up the lands of the Dominion for settlement. The East Coast railway would have done so'had it branched inland from Hastings. But influences were at work which prevented it going in tint di-rect-ion. It might pay the country, even now, to abandon the present route and do the right thing.
