THE SOUTHERN RAILWAY.

vrougit

engineers, Opp rtunely

here during the recentelection contest, sre

reported to be still at work upon the | survey of a ronte for the proposed Southern | Railway. g and we hope tbat the route selected will be that which is most conducive to the inter- ests of the Southern people. Thanks to the interposition of Senator Ferguson, Mr. Martin and Tue Examiner, Mr. Peters has formally promised that the construction of the railway shal! not be prejudiced by reason of the proposed arbitration on the Upon this point

Mr. Martin said in the House of Commons:

claims of the Province.

* Now, I am going to refer to this pro- posal made by the Premier of Prince Edward Istand,a copy of which I hold in my hand, to refer the claims of Prince Ed- ward Island, and amovg them the railway claim, to arbitration. The pro- posal made by the Premier is to refer the question of communication with Prince Edward and the mainland, and railway, as we!! as other claims, to arbitration. I aee no objection to this, so far as the question of damages on account of the non-fulfil- ment of the terms of union with Prince Edward Island with respect to continuous eommunication with the mainland is concerned, but I object to the claims of the island in regard to railway con-

struction being referred to arbitration. The Conservative party has aiready admitted the claims of Prince Ed-

Election, or whether the fear hinted at by |

| Bay du Vin to prosecute oy+ter culture in

ward Island in regard to railway construc- tion, and the Minister of Marine and Fish- eries (Mr. Davies) has committed the Liberal Government and party to the construction of these railways. Both parties being committed, 1] submit that justice will not be done if there claims are referred to arbitration, as it will necessitate delay.”

The position adopted by Mr. Martin was the position taken by the Liberal-Conser- vative Party in this Province. Its reason- ableness and strength were quickly recog- nized by Premier Peters. Mr. Peters did not dare to face the constituencies of the Province without assuring the people that their claim for railway con- struction would not be involved ia the ar- bitration. We may now, therefore, indulge the hope that the work cf constructing the Southern Railway will be begun next year. Certainly the situation in respect to the railway would have been much more sat- isfactory had an amount been voted towards its construction, as well as to defray the cost of the survey. Referring to the latter item Mr. Martin said, in the course of the speech from which we have already quoted :

“In regard to the item of $7,500, I hope the Minister of Marine and Fisheries will not be so weak-kneed as to allow millions of money to be expended on the extension of the Intercolonial Railway to Montreal avd more millions on she Crow’s Nest Pass Road, and admit for one moment that the little Province has no right to be considered. Iam afraid that the members of the Cabinet are too strong for bim, and that this fact explains the item of $7,500, while millions are being voted for railway constructivn in different parts of the Dominion. The Minister of Trade and Commerce asked me the other day if Prince Edward Island would be willing to take back its railway. I ask the Minister does he believe that Ontario would be willing to take back the canals? The original cost was $66,008,000. The in- terest is $2,500,000 a year. What are the total receipts from the conals? While in 1868 only $20,000,000 had been expended, the tolls were $400,000, and yet today, after an eXpenditure has been made of $66,000,- 000, the tolis are only $300,000a year. While the expenditure has increased three- fold, the tolls have actually decreased. Wi]! the Minister of Trade and Commerse agree to pay that interest and accept the tolls? No less than $55,900,000 has been expended on the Intercolonial Railway, which, at 4 per cent, means a payment of $2,250,000 year- ly for interest. ‘Chis interest has to be met every year, and yet hon. gentlemen Opposite are making further expenditures of millions on this road, Are they not supposed to be just before they are gener- ous? Yet political exigencies compel them, even against their better instincts, to make these expenditures, while at the same time they make no effort whatever to carry Out the compact with Prince Edward Island.”

Mr. Martin’s appeal was not heeded by the Government. The Drummond “deal” wae carried Out in spite of the opposition

Montreal Gazette: Mr. Lavergne, M. P., Mr. Laurier’s law partner, bas taken a place on the Bench. The wise men are leaving the sinking ship.

Halifax Herald: The denunciation of the treaties was all right; and the colonies may well expect great things yet from this Imperial move. But who is getting any

?

—A despatch from Chatham tothe St. John Sun reports that Mr. D. Hallon, of

Montreal, made a large expenditure at

tar ft? Certainly not the people of Canada,

that district. He imported a large num- ber of oysters from P. E. Island and transplanted them inthe entrance to Bay du Vin river; also transplanted a large quantity of Bay du Vin and Kgg Island oy ters, fondly imagining that he wonld be a!lowed to ship his own oysters when he wished; but bis oysters were not his at all, even though planted on an area leased by him, tended and cared for at his own expense. Evidently the right of property in oysters is governed by laws passing strange.

—The Klondike fever is likely to prove & pretty expensive disease to the Dominion treasury.,and it is extremely doubtful whether any direct return will ever be re- ceived which will at all equal the expense which has been and will be incurred in policing the country and maintaining law and order. So far, it is estimeted, the ex- pense the country bas been put to will foot up over a quarter of a million dollars, the greater part of which will have to be covered by the Governor-General’s war- rants, as no adequate provision had been

Summerside Journal: Premier Peters is very fortunate in having as officers men who are thoroughly plastic in his hands, men who are mere marionettes, that jump as be pulls the strings, and who speaks the words that he puts into their mouths. This enables bim to win districts in Which monetary considerations have nol the desired effect, and assists him to hang On to office.

St. John Sun: The Liberals of Dighy recently took advantage of Hon. Mr. Fielding’s presence in the town to impress upon him the need of a pnblic building for Digby. The Finance Minister was sympathetic, and hoped that within one or two years the state of the revenue would permit the expenditure. But he could make no promise. He will fee) much less like it pow that Germany, Belgium and France ure to be presented with a large slice of the revenue, thanks to government stupidity.

St. John Sun: Until June 30th of next vear the goods of Germany, Belgiun,

made inthesupply bill for the expendi-| france, and certain other treaty nations ture which cireumstances have rendered | wi} get the benefit of the 12} per cent. it necesary to make. As to revenue, recuction, and for one month after tbat

the customs receipts, while likely to be large at first, will probably quickly diminish as better means of communica- tion are established with Canada and the bulk of the supplies taken in are drawn from the older provinces instead of from the United States, as at present. As ior the royalty oo gold, it is pointed out that even if an attempt is made to collect it,

date, unti} the favored nation treaties cease to apply. a reduction of 25 per cent. = Mr. Fie'ding bas made the manufacturers of those countries a handsome gift. By a sincular] irony of fate his friends of the United States, who are so good at printing jubilee stamps and that sort of thing, are sctually discriminated against. But he ue never intended that. The government of the diggings are so near the boundary that premiers, the cabinet of all the talents, the greater part of whatever gold ix found | have mede themselves ridiculous, and have will be taken out “over the fence,” so that | broughi about @ condition of affairs that the Consolidated Fund is not likely 10) y) st seriously affect the industries of this be benefited much by it. In addition | eoantry. to the quarter of a _ million ex- : penditures already incurred, the Goverr- ment wild soon have to face the question whether it will not be necessary to in- crease the mounted police force by a hut- dred or more men. The force in the Northwest bad already been reduced to about 650 men when the first draft of 80 additional men for the Yukon was made, and if a second detachment of 100 men is found to be necessary On atcount of the crowd of gold-seekers rushing into the country, their places wi}) have to be filled by new recruits, as a force of only 450 men will be quite inadequate to maintain the poste now established in the Northwest and keep up ordinary police duties. —Commenting up the recent decision of the Crown Law Officers, iu respect to the German and Belgian treatier, the Montreal Gazette says: “The eifect on the customs revenue will be considerable, and will be all the more awkward because the indica- tions are that the expeaditure of the Government for the twelve montha the reductions will have to be given will be in excess of the receipts. For any inconven— ience in this respect they may suffer, moreover, the ministers will be alone to blame. The reading of the Belgian and German treaties was very plain, and it was pointed out by the Opporition that the Government was taking a step that it had not well considered. It waa deemed wise, however, for the sake of effect on home political opinion, to reject the advice
