Railroads contrasted with broad gauges | with the guidance of the Liberal Party. If surance to ask jor u Diploma to practice med-

for a place like Prince Edward Island?

I think they are very weil suited for the Island and believe they wll eventually take the pla e of broad gauges. They car ry less dead weight to paying weight, the wear and tear is not so much and the cost of working them is considerably less

Do you not think it better that Railroads should be built by Companies instead of by Governments?

Decidedly not. When a Company greta Read,they try to make the most money they can out of it. They regulate the tariff to suit themselves. They do not run the trains

for te sxke of the travelling pub ie if they |

ean run Jumber or freight trains | ook at the St. Stephen Branch Railroad. Though the Government gare a large subsidy $10 000 per mile yet the Road has got into the hands of lumber merchants and they use it cheifly to serve their own interests. If it were in the hands of the Gorernment the Road would return a handsome interest on the outlay, and the travelling public wonld be better served.

Do you think a three feet six inch gauge Railroad would pay the interest of the om- lay and working ex enses within ten years?

I am po-itive that it will pay wi hin five years if it js properly hniit snd well man- aged by an able superintendant.

Is Mr. Boyd a reliable Engineer?

You conld not ha¥e a more honest man and he knows his business. No Contracter ean pnt off bad work on him.

Will there likely be many persons to con- tract building the Isiand Road taking the

The men who have done the most in P. E. [sland to stir np religious strive, aud create al wncharitab'enees are Mr. W, H. Pope and Mr. David Laird, The one ie politically catra ».eed the other should share his fate.

I should think so.

Yes I think so; indeed ! feel sure that mostly all the money expended on con- structing the Road wil! be spent on the Is land. Nearly everything can be got and made there, with the exception of the rails

Will stone net have to be imported for culverts and bridges?

Not much. I understand there is good material for bricks on the ‘sland, and that wil come inas usefully and cheaply as etcne.

How many men wi!] he required to work on the Road during its construction?

About a thousand. A Contractor will pay them ahout o e dollar and twenty five cents per day, and he will employ all the spare labor he can on the Island. For instance where there is a couple of miles grading near a man s farm he and his sons will get the preference. My idea is to em ploy all the people around, and through where a Railroad wil pass. They take an interest in the wok -yon can engage them advantageously end they make more out of it than others could.

Have much jobbery and corrnption connected with railroads fallen nnder your observation ?

Unfortunatety there has been a good deal of that by eat throat Contractors | hey take a coniract do part of the work, throw up their contract, then ot' er tenders have to be offered, and the work co ts more ip the end than itis worth. In this manner the Intercolonia! R ilway which could have been built for $25,'00 00), wil’ cost $40 - 000 000.

~<a -< THE SECREC NEGOTIATIONS RE- GARDING THE GRANT QUESTION,

One of the events of the Nomination Day which created great excitement, and which has been very generally commented upon in town, is given in the toilowing Report.

Mr. Hooper’e story ts, therefore, not oniy absurd, but it se absolutely false trom beginning to end; and he did not dare repeat it at the Souris meet. ing on Saturday last, because he knew I had the proof in my possession to convict him ot falsehood in reference to hie first supporting the Government and afterwards sending to the Hon. Mr, Haviland his withdrawal irom the pledge or ‘‘memorendum’’ which he signed in commen with myself. He denied on Wednesday last, at the Nomination iv Charlottetown, in the preeence of a@ larce number of peuple, that he gave, or sert to Mr. Haviland, the letter in question, I only sp-k+ from men ory at the time, but to show that [ was correct, I enclose you a copy of Mr. Hvoper’s letter, to use as you deem proper, with the Hon.
