Tub Cross lias a sub-leader this morning on the " desirability of running a train from Auckland to Onehunga so as to accommodate passengers about to proceed by any steamer." We do not question the propriety of this, but we do the puppyism that originated the paragraph. It appears that Mr Luckie and "*Mr Warwick Weston missed the proper train that would have "accommodated" them like other passengers of less pretentiousness, and which left the station at eleven o'clock, and in consequence of thiß they were obliged to go in the 'bus. If people that have plenty of idle time on their bauds*} will from force of habit* go loafing about when the railway whistle sounds it cannot be expected that the whole conduct of the railway service shall be renverse to suit their idle proclivities even though they should have the privilege of kissing the toe of Julius. ' With reference to the suiting of trainp-and I steamers it might, indeed be urged i steamers might quit£*as readily make their houMHsuit the trains as the trains could be altered in their running to suit the steamers. In nwst cases this i^Kpite true ; but when, as oi^he occasion in question, the train suited the steamer very sell we have not the smallest sympathy s^ndolent people '■ who^Tjcgin gathering up their linen and jafcuffing it into th^jr bags wfcpn the whittle is soamling.
