Many persons went there to hear_Fraser, and were greatly disapâ€" 'pointed when he did not put in an apâ€" pearance. The remarks of the speakers (ekeepting Blake) were hackneyed, threadbare, and exceedingly lame. Badgerow reprimanded the Reformers for net comingouti‘as' strongly on the 17th of Septemberl'as' they did in June. In fact, he scolded them‘ severely, and felt quite ashamed to think Boultbee had been allovved to slip in. Having touched on Boultbce he made a strong efl'ort to ridicule him but it; fell rather 'flntf‘as m'any‘ in the audience had listened to Bonltbee too often not to experience a feeling of pity for the speaker; others were amused, not at his wit, but the pre- sumption shown in a man ofhis mental calibre attempting to belittle one who possessed abilities far superior. Badge- row must be‘aware that. Boultbee could walk clean around him as a speaker, politicianpr even lawyer. In fact, had Boultbee. been present.

It surely cannot be that the larger portion of the people present at the Markham Demonstration held last Week, were Consarvatives, and yet if we were to judge by the lack of enthusiasm disâ€" played, we would certainly be inclined to think so. This is in remarknble con- lrast with the loud cheers, and warni handshaking which greeted Sir John when he attended the Conservative Picâ€" nic in ’77. The people of Quebec seem to think that they can get along very nicely without any Legislative Council, but the Council, so far, entertains a differ- ent opinion altogether. It apparently considers the existence of that illustriâ€" ous body as quite neceSSary to the pros- perity and 'good Government of the Province. Ontario manages to Worry along very fairly without any second chamber, and, no doubt, our eastern neighbors will find out that what can be dO‘neln such a large and progressive province will work smothly in their own The Joly Government seems determined to force the Council to step down and out. We have been kindly favored by having a Governor-General sent out to look after us, for whom we pay a cool fifty thousand, besides other little_ per- :quisites, such as travelling expenses, new palace cars, etc.. but it now appears that the Imperial authorities think We shouldpr eight thousand dollars for bringing the Marquis and his La‘dy out.

There has been a great advance made with-l in the past five years; not only have we ‘accomplished an important work iii pro- viding for an early, rapid and easy com- : munication through our own country, from the shores of Lake Superior to the Red River, but. we have acquired information with reference to the North-West Terri- tories, which is invaluable in its character. High as was our estimate a few years ago, high as was the opinion we were warranted in entertainingr as to the capabilities of the great Ninth-West, we weie comparatively ignorant of the vast extent of fertile lands of that country. The surveys which have been made, although attended with a large amount. of expenditure. are cheap com- pared with that which has really been achieved, inasmuch as that we can only hope for the successful nceomplishment of this great work, by showing to the world the value and character of that country. [hold that the explorations that have been made. and the increased knowledge we‘ possess of its resources, place its iii a posi- 1 tion to appeal to capitalists much more .confidantly and successfully for this great‘ work, than would otherWise be the casa. Ido not- inteiid to criticise at any length the course taken by the late Government, but I may say that these resolutions pro- ,pose a divergence in one particular from the policy of our predecessors, and that is while carrying out their policy so far as the Line from Lake Superior to the Red rRivergoes,I propose a slight deviation. going: west from Red River, from that which was originally intended. I am not prepared to say that the engineers were not. perfectly right in the litie they located. lam not prepared to say that the original , intention of locating the line by way of the Narrows of Lake Manitoba was not. right i and proper, provided we were in a position to carry out. as we hoped “8 would, the rapid constiuctiori. by means of a company; ofthis interoceanic railway from end to end. But we find ourselves brought face to face with the fact that a change has come over the spirit of the world in refer- ence to railway enterprise on this continent , land that whereas it was comparatively easy. five or six years ago. to draw capital into this cruntry for railway enterprises, it is now almost impossible to do so. That change having taken place, i think we Vmust deviate from our original plan, and, , in order to secure the rapid construction of “this work, combine to a greater extent than originally iritendcd,our progress across the great prairie country of the Northwest with a system of colonization; and though that may add a few miles, here or there. to the length ofthe line to be constructed, it ‘ will carry it through the districts that will , best’afi'ord a. basis for rapid colonization upon which we can rest, and to which alone llonl:y as the only means by which suc- cessfully, in our time. at all events, we may be able to achieve the construction of this railway. r Now, Sir, I believe there will not be any great difference of opinion on this point. I am satisfied hon. gentlemen opposite will agree with us, that whether the line goes to the Narrows or the south of Lake Manitoba. in the first instance the true policy ofthe country is to find the best line of railway for settlement across the prairie region of the North-West. Iwill. therefore, address myself to the. third and last difficulty. that of the selecriun of the route through British Columbia. It is stated in llte Globe that these resolutions indicate ill a clear and unmistakeahle manner that we have abandoned the line to Burrurd Inlet and adopted Bute Inlet as the ‘terminus 0‘. the road. I have. no hesila- tion in saying that these resolutions corrâ€" itain no arricrepensee. The views held by the Goverrment are embodied in the reso- lutions I offer to the House. Had it been decided to reject the location of the route established by hon gentlemen opoosite, the Government would have cancelled the Qt- der in Council. locating the route to Bur- rard lnlet. & go to Rule Inlet. They have not arrived at that conclusion. They have only arriVed at the conclusion that the selection of the Burrard Inltt route was premature. I am not prepared to say that it"I had been in the position of the late Governmentâ€" for I admit the uneasiness and anxiety felt in British Columbia imâ€" posed great atrd serions pressure on Iron. gentlemen in the selection of that routeâ€" thatifI had been brought. face to face with the question, and it was held to be indispensable to then select the route, I would not have adopted the route with the information then possessed. which the late Government adopted. What Ido blame hon. gentlemen oppposite for is this, that they rejected the suggestions made two years ago, by the pressnt First Minister and myself, that before the final location of the route. and the large expenditure involved on the Burrard Inlet route. the season should have been utilised, by having a thorough examination made of the country lying to the. North of Fort George, and in the region of the Pine and Peace River passes. I'think there was abundant ground for maintaining the absolute necessity of an immediate and most careful explora- tion survey in order to ascertain precisely the character of the country in the region ofthe Pine and Peace River passes, be- fore the final location of the line was made. I do not. intend to enter into the technical details of the question, because the en- gineers‘ reports give the information with greater accuracy that: I could give it; but Imay say why I regard the location to Burr-ard Inlet as premature. There are practically but three routes before the House and country, for consideration. After all the examination made of the sub- ject, it has resolved itself into a choice be- tween three routes, Burrard Inlet, Bute Inlet at Waddington Harbour, or the route to Port Simpson t0 the north. I leave out of the question the easier: shorter, and, perhaps, the best line of all, that to the ‘Dean Channel, because the reports go to show that navigation to that point will be ;obstructed by an archipelago of Islands in l that neighborhood. . MR. TUPPER: The navigation of Dean Channel is so obstructed by an archipelago of islands as to render it, practically unfit forthe terminus of the Pacific Railway. There 15', moreover, the further difficulty that the approach is obstructed by ice dur- ing the winter. There can be no doubt that Burrard Inlet possesses many advan- tages over the But'e Inlet. route. Sm C. 'I‘UPPER: I hear an emphatic “No,” but perhaps the hon. gentlemen will allow me to state the impression on my mind. andI will listen with great at- tentionto any information which may be given on that question by any hon. gentle- man who holds a different opinion. I re- gard the Bnrrard Inlet. route as preferable to that by Bute Inlet. in regard to distance. It is fifty-seven miles shorter to Port Moody at Burrard Inlet than to Waddington Har- bor at Bute Inlet, taking into account the three miles saved in consequence of the ex- .plorntion of last summer, and if the railway were at Burrard Inlet, there would be only eighty miles of navigation from Port MR. MACKENZIE: You mean that navigation is obstructed during the winter. MR. BUNSTER: No. PACIFIC RAI'L‘WAY. (Continued from last week.) Dr. Tupper's Speech. Mood'y down to Victmia or Esquima’lt, while yon have to add about 120 miles more of navxgation from the Bnte Inlet. Terminus at Waddington Harbor to ireach Esquimalt. Iam also free to admit that in pomt. of gradienls, a most important point, theBnrrard Inlet route, so far as our information goes, has a great advantage ‘ over that to Bute Inlet. It will be difficult to obtain on a. portion of the last named ronl.e,grades eaSIer than 100 ft. to the mile, while on ibeBnrrard Inlet line the grades will not exceed 52 ft. to the mile. Mn. DECOSMOS: What about curva- ture. SIR. C TUPPER: I am not informed that the Burt-9rd Inlet. route involves any serious curvature. which would materially interfere with the operation of the line. There is a considerable section of wheat- growingr country in the region of Knmloops. to which the late Government proposed to construct 125 miles of road trOm Yale. But while I admit there is a great advan- tage.both in point of distance and of grades. in favor of Burrerd Inlet, I cannot conceal} from myself that there is a very grave ob-l jectton to that route. The approach to Burrard Inlet invclves the passage of the island of San Juan, and although, to-day, and I hope for many years to come. we may enjoy the most amicable and peace- ful relations with our friends to the south of us, yet, as this will he a great national highway, and as a great expenditure of British capital will be involved. I feel we longht not to lose sight of the fact that at ‘some remote period those who come after us mayfittd our friends to the south not animated by those purely commercial and peaceful Sentiments which, we are glad to k now, at present prevail. I regard, there- fore, the possession of that Island by the Y United States, and the fact that communi cation from the sea to the terminus of the railway would be under the control of the fortifications of a foreign power, as serious obstructions. And I cannot regard with indifference the fact that, when we have expended a hundred millions on the exten- sion of the line to the Pactfic, and before we have. reached Burtatd Inlet, we have reached a point at which it is perfectly easy for our American neighbors to tap our line by a road of 50 or 60 miles in length, and carry our traffic down to Holmes llar- bor. which is to be the terminus of the Northern Pacific now under construction through the United States. and which. should our line he so tapped, Would become. a new San Francisco, literally built. up with Canadian trade. Now. I am ttot willing to see the two termini of the Canadian inter oceanic railway system in the United States, one terminus at Portland and the other at Holmes Harbor. I believe if it can be done, it is highly desirable that we should not place ourselves in such a position as that, and I look upon the poittts I have referred to as very important and very great obstacles in the way of the adoption of that line. But while I have stated that the length of railway by Burrard Inlet is shorter, and the Hrades easier, there is a more imâ€" portattt question still than the question of length and grade, to which I wish to draw the attention of the House; and that is the question of traffic. It is better to spend our money in the cOnStruction of a longer road, involving more severe grades, if, notâ€" withstanding the length and the grades, we , are going to have a great traffic for th-el road. The great difficulty that presents itself to my mind in the consideration of this question. is this: It is a long distanée. by any route one can find, from the Pact- fic. before you reach a country that can be looked upon with any confidence as fur? nislting the traffic and hustness by which, the Canadian Pacific 'Railway must. be sustained. I regret, therefore. deeply, that the hon. gentleman at. the head oftlte Gov- ernment, two years ago. when my right lion. friend, Sir John A. Macdonald and I and other members in this House, urged him to do so, did not spend the season be expended in exploring the Fraser and the' present location of the line, in making ,a full examination of the country iii the region of the Red River and Peace River passes. Had that been done, we would have been in a better position to deal with this question than we are to-day. If it should proveâ€"as we have reason to assume it willâ€"that by the adoption of the Rule Inlet route or the other route to which I have relerrcd, we can materially shorten the distance between the coast of the Paci- fic attd a section of the country to which we may fairly look for a large amount of traf- fic to sustain the railway. then we would be warranted in building a longer line or talc,- ing the severe grades to which I have ,ad- vetted. We, therefore, propose to ask the House to allow us to make a rapid explora- tion of that district before we finally decide the question as to whether the 'road is to go by the route adopted by our predecessors or by some other route.
