PONGAROA MAIL SERVICE.
The good people of Pahiatua have every flight, from their parish standpoint, to protest against the Pongaroa mail service being diverted to the Eketahuna route. They will not assist their cause, however, by using extravagant and undignified language. To assert that the Government is being influenced by a few big landowners living on the EketahunaPongaroa route, is to become positively ridiculous. We venture to say that not a single large land-hold-er lias approached the Government upon the question. On the contrary, the demand for the Eketahun a route comes spontaneously from the townspeople and settlers of Pongaroa, and ifrom (small holders in the intervening districts who are .suffering great hardships by the present service. If Palhiatua wishes to .retain the present service, let it organise a monroa, for it is Pongaoa and its environs that count.
