Leaving a balance of.. ‘ $27,377,185 The above iteras of expenditure consist of nett cash outlay; and the above balance re resents the amount which has been provided & the company itself,

But Mr. Stephen points out that while the strength of the company’s position and the extent of its property and resources are thus sufficiently mavifest, they are not of such a nature as to be immediately available for providing the money required to carry on construction at the rate at which it is preceeding. ‘It might not be impracticable,’ says Mr. Stephen, ‘fur the company to relax its efforts for the completiou of its work within two years, and fall back upon the delay allowed by its coptract, thns avoid ing the necessity, in a large degree, for the financial aid it vow seeks. But the company considers that such a change in its plans would retard the progress of the settlement of the Northwest, would Jock up the capital already expended in the work, and would be disadvantageous in mavy other respects in the highest degree, both te the country and to the compasy.” And, therefore, the com- pany deserve a loan.

The Dominion Alliance.

A meeting of the Dominion Alliance, for the tetal prohibition of the liquor traffic, was held in the city of Ottawa, on Thursday aud Friday of last week. The delegates were composed of repre. sentative men from all parts of Canada,— a large proportion of them being mem- bers of Parliament. The discussions were very practical, and the results very much to the poist. It was decided to strike for total prohibitien. The House

ot Commons is to be divided on the ques- |

tion during the present session; aud, if bo more jiressing question should over- shadow it, an effort will be made to test the fecling of the country, with respect to total prohibitiun, at the next Domine iov Election, by means of the ballot. In the meantime, the *‘Seott Act agitation” isto be kept up. The Government will be asked to bring on Scott Act elections
