AND CATHOLIC ARTICLE FROM.. ' ' ' "

"

N . , W. Iferulct, yesterday . Although inparts we think tho/wrilerdoes: 'is scarcelyJjustice to Island sentiment , wo cannotdeny that in other respects his criticism 'ia not altogether unfair . nut ,tllero\\'ercfaults on both < sides! . ,

Wo commend ' the. al.ticle-cspeci:1lIy . its last half ttJ\ tliacareful Sunday reading and incditatioii ofour thoughtful subscribers . . It wouldseem to indicate that the Island is on :the ''

.

eve "fa good understanding with the;

Mainland section and that henceforth thattwo parts ofa whole " will work to ¬

gether with unity of purpose and object '

to achieve 1gl'eat and prosperous dos I

tiny : I

" Our friends across the Gulf proposeconsidering , in mass meeting assembled ,

the subject of an island railway . Thequestion has ;a history and , for the matterof that , so have Victoria " mass meetings . " It willstill be within the rangeof ordinary recollection that a " mass

"gJ'ehecd. .way to E.snuimalt , no Confederation . "Coming l\f many similar follies : downto a much more secantmhmto , another '

" mass meeting " allowed itself to bo ledaway by the same song set to a now tuneli-Tho Island Kailtvny or Separation . "

Then , again , (there is the dreary record ofstrenuous cllurts to carry the railway farn01'thof Vancouver , where it would havebeen virtually lost to Columbia , rather(than that it should come down the fertilevalley of the 1'I'asel'j,

; and although thoseefforts failed in their suicidal object , theyundoubtedly resulted in needless oxpendi-ture of time and money on surveys , andin several j eeg ' ilolny in the commencement of railway construction . It wouldscarcely be surprising ifa questionaround which such historical memoriescluster should find little favor in Mainland c'esnd yet it is well) that the

quchcinbittoring aspirit of fairness nnd dealt with on itsown merits'imon Columbia formulatedwillingto .

American Empire it is quite obvious thataIm island[ railway was not present to hermind . On the contrary , in designatingand distributing the various public workswhich Canada was to be asked to under-take

¬

, it was expressly intimated that , asthe Canadian Pacific Railway . woulddoubtless reach the sea nt.Bufrard lillet ,

i

the. graving[ dock, should be_allotted tto the

island upon the gronnci of territorial dietribution , rather than on account of an)'

supposed superiority of Esquimalt as asite . In fact the graving dock was con-cccdcd to Esq uimalt as a seton for Btir-rnrd having the railwayVoli , Durrani:

Inlet has the railway and Esquimalt ]hasthe dock ; and thus it will beseen thatall is fair and square up to that pointthat is so far as tlm: Torins of :Union areconcerned . Vancouver cannot have anywellgroundedclaim \ ' for n. railway as aDominion work . But \I'ould.llot be al-together fair to rent the question here ;

and it is our desire to deal with it in aspirit of fairness , if npt magnanimity .

,

There are nof wanting circumstanceswhich may bo taken to constitute reason-able

¬

ground for expecting , if not alsolutely claiming , an island] railway at tilthands of the Dominion Gorernmcnt .

First of all wo have that government in apremature and thoughtless memento -

cially proclaiming EsquiniaU , the terminusof the Canada Pacific Railway , and having a twenty mile lleItof land ex-tending

¬

fi-um that point} t Ito Seymour '

Norrows placed under reservation * Nextwo have a proposal from a succeeding ad ¬

ministration miff, iiiKi to, construct il-milway from Esquimnlt to Ntuuitno , as adistinct work ; and when the bill author-izing

¬

the same is thrown . out by the Sen-ate

¬

we find the name administration oiler-ing , in lieu of the railway , a specific sumof money equal to ten thousand dollarsper mile of said railway . Our presentbusiness is to state facts , not criticise ac ¬

tion else wo might dilate upon the follyof rejecting this money offer , i-cgamdimmu!

the matter from an iisjand point of view .

Last but not least com > the socalled Carnarvon Terms , which unquestionably, in-cluded a railway between Jsqllilll:1ItandNanaiiiio and which might fairly bo conBidol'edns having bound the Dominion(Government had Columbia taken such an

bindingTimeso .

,taken in connection with , time fact that . inanticipation of Canada keeping faith inthis matter the reservation has been loy -

sailmvaybeltisland against settlement ought , ono wouldthink , to be regarded as constituting someclaim for consideration at the hands ofthe Dominion ((iovornmcnt , and moro es-peciallyat tho hand of the jirntrnt Do ¬

minion Government , nnd of this wo feelconfident that if the claim be put forwardwith wisdom and moderation urged upongrounds and in a way which cannot beconsidered as conflicting with limo . rightsand interests of other sections of the 110vince , the people of the mainland will bofound disposed to overlook past differences , furgivo past wrongs ;and magnanimously second the reasonable efforts otthe people of Vancouver Island to securetheir railway . .
