Mven of our limited space has lately been occupied by that most important subject ‘©The Canadian Pacific Railway Contract.” The resume we have given of Sir Charles Tupper’s great speech,in opening the Parlia- mentary debate upon it, will, we are sure, have been read with the deepest interest ; and, we are much mistaken if it does not impress the people of this Island with a favorable opinion of the contract by which the country will fulfil a binding enyage- ment with British Columbia,and at the same time, get rid of an immense responsibil- ity and an enormous and indefinite burden; and by which the incalculable advantages of railway communication from the shores of the Atlantic to those of the Paeitic, through Canada have been secured. Sut if anything more convincing than Sir Charles Tupper’s spee®h be needed to con- vince our rea jers that the contract is, on the whole a good one, we Have it in the Mon- treal Herald, which, afterthe Toronto Glove, is the leading Grit organ of Canada. in an article on the contract pyblished on the 13th inst., the Herald says + ‘‘In its broad features it may be said to he the transfer to a single Compamy of experienc- ed and competent railway men, vf an enor- mous work which the Government was pre- viously constructing through the mstrumen- tality of a sct of miserable jobbers. Morever. instead of the price being wholly “in cash, as hitherto, it will, under the present arrange- ments. be made half in land, and the con- tractors will have highest interest in making this land available by procuring the largest yossible number -of settlers. In all these respects we hold that the agreement deserves substantial praise.” The considerations which should enter into aun examination of the contract are well and fairly stated by the Herald. The Herald says :—- ‘‘With regard +o the contract itself, there are two points for consideration—the men who undertake it, and the condition on which they do so. We have already taken occasion to refer to such of the con- tractors as are known to us, and we have not hesitated to say that we think them eminently wellitted for the work, beth by eharacter and experience. ‘*As to the conditions on which the con- tract is undertaken, much might be said. Stronger restrictions might have been pro- vided as to rates, and some greater freedom in the way of allowance for competing lines, and other matters which, from the people's point of view, might have been mor in their interest. But on the other hand, it is easy to understand what answer the Company would make to demands for fur- ther concessions on such points, and we are not prepared to say that reasonable ob- iections could not be made to each and all of such demands. Giving the power of selecting lands to the Company, which rumor attributed to the contract, would have been a fatal error; but the mode ad- opted is well calculated to protect the pub- lic interest. Whatever the Company can do to benetit its own property must enure to the advantage of that of the Crown in the same degree ; and if it 1 said that, after the railway is built, the 25,000,000 acres will produce any of the Jarge prices we read of, then the adjoining 25,000,060 belonging to the country will be enhanced in value to a similar extent. And this will apply to the branch railways which the Company must build to give their own lands, adjoining them, some value and a market, for these advantages will be shared equally by the alternate seetions retained by the Government. Exception may be taken to the restrictions upon lines cross- ing our boundary, but it is obvious that if the country is to go to the expense of building a railway by the north side of Lake Superior, it is to create a great through national highway, and it is not to be supposed that any Governmont would allow the construction of railways that would alienate the traftic of the Northwest, not only from that great national high- way, but from the railways of old Canada, which ‘the enterprise of Provinces or of individuals have created, and which are developing an entire new section of our country. With the great rival corporation of the Northern Pacific Railway, now re- vivified and vigorous, skirting the bound- ary line for two thousand miles, it would be questionable policy to facilitate the drainage of the trafic of our vast and fer- tile territory south of our Pacific Railway, for the benefit of that corporation, and to the destruction of our internal trade and the damage of our shipping interests.” -_—~ - ee + Who says Iialy is not progressive / The Italian Government is submitting a scheme to the Legislature to resume specie pay- ments, chiefly in goldjon July 1, 1881. The Government hopes to bring its notes up to par and promises to introduce a gold stand- ard. It is intended to facilitate resump- tion by aloan, to perfect the eperation gradually, and to keep about $200,000,000 outstanding in netes deprived of their legal- tender character. The Government and the deputies seem to agree in the view that} silver money is no longer fit for much | beyond its function as taken money and small change. Sipe The sunshine of life is made up of very little beams that are bright all the time. W ord-Hunting. | THE NORFOLK HOWARD. . An aristocratic name for the common bed bug is, the Norfolk Howard. How idid it receive such an honorable appella- tion ! Some years ago a gentleman living in Wales changed his name; but the Lieuten- ant of the county refused to adress him by hisnew name. A fierce debate arose on the subject, which was calmed down by the law courts deciding that there was nothing illegal in the change. The Times, on the day after the Derby Day, inserted a leading article on the right of changing names. The writer, who had been to the Derby, noticed there an inkeeper’s name of Joshua Bugg; he cited this remarkable name as one worthy of a change. The article declared that so far as legality was concerned ‘‘ Mr. Joshua Bugg might take the name of Norfolk Howard to-morrow.” It happened that Mr. Bugg was a reader of the Times, and on this occasion immediately followed its ‘‘Jeader.” The next day’s Times announ- ced the fact that Mr. Bugg, henceforth would be known as Norfolk Howard. The multitudinous host of bugs, whose ranks he had left, took umbrage at his leaving, but true to their affectionate nature, not only stuck close to the old homestead but increased with surprising rapidity. Travellers staying at his inn were sensibly reminded of this increase, and styled their irritants ‘* Norfolk How- ards,” Poor Joshua Bugg : gg The temptation to assume aristocratic style was too, much for him; fate was stronger and decreed that he and his descendants must forever bear the name, or the synonym forit, Bug.

We was absorbed in following the recent lang debate in the Chamber, and when it was over the Minister of Pub- lic Worship made a report to him on the matter. The Trish Land Commission is now sit- ting in Dublin, having finished a long tour through the Provinces. Lord Dufferin gave evidence before them last week, hav- ing gone over from London for that pur- pose. His opinion on the Irish Land Question ought to ve valuable; the subject is no novelty to him. Sir Alexander Cockburn thought more of the spirit than of the letter of the law. When an unknown barrister, he was en- trusted with the defence of a man who, having been forced into an encounter with a noted duellist; killed him. ‘ Gentlemen,’ he said to the jury, my learned friend has told you that this is murder, his Lordship will tell you that it is murder ; I know that it is no murder, and you know that it is no murder.” After thesa words he sat down, and the jury at once returned a verdict of not guilty. cinsientsiliie call alba REMARKABLE CURE OF AN INFLAMED Tearpuct on PassaGE to THE Ey, WITH- our AN Oprration.—Mrs. Gibson, who has a large and extensive confectionery and candy store at No. 25 East 42nd street, near the Grand Central Depot, was about to have a silver tube inserted in the tear passage of her left eye.
