’ The U.S.S. Co.’s Waikare arrived from south early yesterday morning, and left again late for Auckland. The U.S.S. Co.’s Mokoia arrived from Auckland and Sydney yesterday alternooon, and continued her voyage south at niyht. ' The U.S.S. Co.’s Squall left .early yesterday morning for Auckland. She does not call at Tologa on the upward trip owing to the heittfcy sea. The U.S.S. Co.’s Flora is due to arrive from Napier early this morning, and to sail again at 9.30 a.m. for Coast ports and Auckland. As the. weather prospects are unfavorable, the U.S.S. Co.’s Tuatea will not proceed to Waipiro to-clay, hut instead ■the Latter Day Saints (Mormons) will proceed to Waipiro to the Mormon conference by the-Flora to-day. The Tuatea will bring the company back next Tuesday. The Shaw, Savill, and Albion Co.’s Delphic is due here on,Sunday to load for London, for which port she leaves Gisborne on April 7th. The Tvser liner TVhakarua arrives on Monday next to load frozen meat, etc. . After being laid up at Port Chalmers for some weeks, the Wairuna will be recommissioned next week, and engages ' I 'supp:!iTcr fry” fiiF’TTul:!^ ' to the destitute wife and children. Could anything be more preposterous than this ? Here we have a man not only knowing his wife and family a burden on the taxpayer, but himself . . loafing ;upon an easy-going public. It •'is’no wonder the expenditure on charitable aid is so large when wastrels of " : - thioi type are allowed to run free. -.There is nothing gained by gaoling such 4 person in the ordinary way, for he and his have then also to be maintained bv .taxes levied on industrious people. ■ The right, course to follow is to take (pm firmly by the neck and march him to a place where he will have to -perform needful work-—where the measure. of his diet will be according to What he earns, and where he may labor for the unfortunate children he has fathered.—" New Zealand Times.;”. _ ■

THE RAILWAYS. New Zealand with 2500 miles of line has just under 500 locomotives. New South Wales with 3500 miles of railway has 800 locomotives, giving New South Wales a balance of locomotives in proportion to mileage. From time to time we have agitations in this country for more trucks to carry our produce to ~ the market, when the real cause of the trouble lies in the inadequate -locomotive power. Nearly 300 of our 500 engines are tan'k engines, capable of carrying only a limited amount of coal and water, aud of these 300 more than half are unable to draw a heavy train singlehanded. Therefore, two of these pygmies must be harnessed to the loan. V:• This means that four engincmen are needed instead of two, and the wear and tear of two engines is much greater : ,'W than that of one. So our goods trains 5V- puff and struggle up thn grades, nm'aim- behind time add delaying the working of other trains. Such delay road to- travel on the goods \\ ou.d be , ?!
