: ,1 Ministers are busy preparing thoir ' bills foi- the coming seaaiun, or they ' would be, if they were not scattered 1 about the Colony making stump speeches, ' They " blare loud their , trumpets," but for all that they ire i anxious. There is a slight sign of 1 reaction, a sign of (he country taking | sides against the towns. Already in ; the country notices me beginning to ; be put up," no rubbish allowed lo be shot here," though the towns pooh I pooh I the idea, and say their rubbish , must be shot there, and that it is I accumulating so fust in the cities that greater facilities are needed for shooting it out into the country. The , Premier feels this difficulty, and by ' his address delivered at Auckland seems determined to meet it by sending the Railway Commissioners to ' the right about and resuming control of the lines. At first we thought his raid on the Commissioners was merely temper/but we begin; to see. that be wantß tho free use of the railways for the convenience of Bhobting town rubbish into the country. The labour polioy of his parly is .not quite as popular as it was in the first instanoe, and needs to be bolstered np. Co-operative labour has proved a , sham, and we trust the Member for Masterton, who ought to know all l about it, will speak out on this subjeot to-morrow evening. Tocarryout the Liberal polioy, the Premier re« quires-a free band with the'railwayi and its much land as ha may require,to ; relieve what is termed the congestion ' in the towns. "Those," exclaimed the Premier," who said the Government oonld not the railways Bhowed • that they had no confidence in them,, selves and did not deserve to be en* trusjed with tho franchise." This is tall talk even'for Mr Seddon I We say and challenge contradiction, that i I the Goverataent cannot manege tbeir);

L]nd Department, Are we . for this reason to be'disfranchised ? • In everybody.who differs in opinion from Mr Seddomtov be > disfranchised ? , Tlio country will shortly ; avnken' to tlio fact that- the poliov of the ' present Ministry ia placing it at the mercy of the towus. The chief centre.) of population have been mado receiving depots for Australian rubbish, and this.has'to be.forwardi'd on into the coun'ry. The Premier must have the control of the nilways to shoot the rubbish- amongst us. ,
