THE RAILWAY MANAGEMENT.
It is currently and very positively reported that tho action of the Victorian Ministry in superseding the Railway Commissioners has greatly encouraged that section of the New Zealand Ministerial party who desire to see the political control of the railways resumed. It is known that some members of the Government at anyrate are very anxious to bring this about, and the local official ' Ministerial organ (of which a Minister is managing director) is hinting very plainly in this direction. I hear on very creditable authority that a "whip" of the party will be made on this question directly Parliament meets, and that if the result be favourable a bill will be brought in by the Government to abolish the commissioners. It will of course be thrown out by the Upper House, but that will suit Ministers well enough as forming another count in their indictment against the Lords for obstructing "Liberal" measures.
