The Pacific Railway Contract.

‘THe provisions of this contract are, with the exception of a few minor ones, publish- ed to-day, in Time Examiner. On perusing them, our readers will possibly agree with us that a very fairjbargain has been made, A company of capitalists is bound to com- plete the construction of the Canada Pacitic Railway by or before the year 1891, and, subsequently to maintain it in good work- ing order. For this service the country is bound to give 25,000,000 acres of land, and to pay $25,000,000 of dollars in cash. The money payment, only, affects the present inhabjtants of Canada ; and that, supposing means had not been provided for the return of every dollar to the National Exchequer, could, at the worst, only affect them to the extent of about a quarter of a dollar per head per year.

But it is provided that the land shall be granted to the Company in alternate sec- tions on either side of the Railway. So that the Government will have to dispose of land equal in quantity and quality, and equal in the advantages of location and climate to that of the Company. The Government will, therefore, be im just as svod a position to sell its land readily as the Company ; and there is no doubt what- ever, that, as the work gees on, as immi- grants come to the country and secure homesteads, the sales of the Government will go on in am equal ratio with those of. the Company. The money paid into the Government on account of these sales will, without doubt, in the end, amount to far more than $25,000,000; and thus the nation will, without doubt, in the end get, as a result of the enterprise, far more money than they paid.

The objection taken jby Mr. Blake, that rates of fare and freight are not fixed by the contract, will appear valid only on a very superficial view of the circumstances. The Company must make money; to make money they must attract traffic; and to ‘at- tract traflic they must, from the beginning, charge reasonable fares and freights. This is so ‘evident that nothing further need be said toshow that Mr. Blake’s objection is without good grounds and that Mr.

lake, though Leader of the Opposition,

and a very imgenious man, has nothing

serious to urge against the Pacific Railway

Contract.

Commercial Intercourse with the United States.

Re¥FeERRING to the proposal to uniie, politically, Canada and the United States, the New York Herald says :—~

‘* The enlightened part of the people of the United States desire such commerce and in- tercourse as would be tor the common advan- tage of both countries, but they do not covet or care for a closer political connection.”

If this be so, why was the Recipsocity Treaty abrogated! And why has it been found impessible all these years to nego- tiatea new Treaty? The inference is, that the enlightened part of the people, do not control the Government of the United States. We rejoice however to see such language as this in so infuentiala journal as the New York Herald; and we trust the Government at Washington may be induced to act in accordance with it. We are assured that the Gevernment and peo- ple of Canada are so desirous of ‘‘ a com- mercial intercourse which would be of ad- vantage to both countries,” that they are prepared, with a view of obtaining it, to fact at onee. anh

Gormley, the Cookstown murderer, was arrested this afternoon at his own house, while changing his clothes, preparatory to | his final flight, he having returned home| just before. An inquest was held and a! verdict of wilful murder rendered. The! prisoner was sent to Omagh Jail. The ! inquest revealed the fact that Mulhol'and| had taken the gun from Gormley, but on a | promise that he would not use it, returned | the gun, Thereupon Gormley raised it to | his shoulder and fired. Our Castlebar cor-| respondent telegraphs that great excite-| ment prevails in that place, owing to the | visit last night of a party with blackened | ‘faces to the house of several herdsmen, |
