Oomph in Are Ute Goa will Kukuly Demlo Dutoi Patio atari Hudson Bay railways. The explorations in and about James which were made last Mason by or. William Ogilvie of the geological Survey staff were conducted with an Eye to Tho proposed railway from Toronto. To gain comprehensive knowledge of the Topography of the Bay he visit re Moosa Rupert s House and East main and of these Moose a the Only Point suitable for a terminus. To prevent misapprehension however it will be Well to explain that or Ogilvie s ostensible or primary purpose was to determine the latitude and Longitude of some Point on the Bay in connection with the inter provincial boundaries and to perform certain other work directed Lay the department. The information obtained respecting Harbor accommodation was incidental to this and waa no doubt suggested by the probability of Early railway construction to those Waters , he Days is the must advantageous of three Point visited but from his re. Port it will not be regarded As the most suitable that could be desired. Indeed Bis explorations Only confirm what Hae been Long known in a hazy sorb of Way that James Bay id really without a Good Harbor. Ship drawing 17 feet of water can get to within nine Miles of moves factory where they Are stopped by the horse shoe bar. If Thia tatter obstacle could be overcome ships could be taken far enough up for Good shelter and convenience to a railway terminus. The alternative would be to build Down the East Shore of the River and Crow a Low Flat Shore flooded at High tide in order to get opposite to ship Hole where a Roadway would have to be build out to the latter. All this with the necessary dockage would entail a Large expenditure. Whether this would eos i More than to Channel the horse shoe bar and Pard of Tho River can Only be determined by actual Survey. To admit vessels if 20 feet draught would require More expensive and extensive channelling still. The want of proper Harbor facilities a a a Riou drawback to the sob erne of a Toronto and Hudson Bay railway butt it a not fatal. The project a Good one and will time be carried out and should the Davo Loument of Trade require it the Means will be found for its proper accommodation. If there Are not Good Harbor facilities they can lie provided it would Nob be the first time that a bar bar was made in the face of difficulties to am More fortunate in this re Peot with our Northwest Hudson Bay railway. Within 650 Miles of Winnipeg or Brandon a situation for a Cota motions Termi Nus is found at Seal Island 20 or 25 Miles up Broad Nelson whose Channel will now admit vessels drawing from 20 to 22 feet. All that would be not scary to fit it for easy and perfect navigation would be few lights Hare and there with sufficient buoys to Mark the Channel it is not thought that much if any dredging will to required. Or. Ogilvie thinks that possibly a better Harbor than Moose be got at big River but to reach it would require 140 Miles of additional railway. In the sat no Way a better Harbor even than Seal Inland could be got for the Oer Minua of the Winnipeg and Hudson Bay railway at Churchill one already built by nature and a pm fact a any in the world. But to get to Churchill at least 100 More Miles of railway would have to be Bull and operated for All time and along which to local traffic could Ever be developed. An other objection to the a orfeo Harbor at Churchill is that it Doea nol open until june and cannot be demanded upon to remain open after the lat of november thus limiting the season to have months or Leas. The Channel of Nelson River on the other hand owing to the current and tide of twelve or fifteen feet a rarely Frozen or. Bell who a an authority it never at any rate with sea Island As the terminus navigation would a entirely practicable from March to late in december. This gives a tremendous advantage Over Churchill and is sufficient to justify the determination of the promoters to make Seal to and the terminus to say nothing of the saving in building and operating one Hundred Miles of otherwise use Lesa railway. We Hope to fee the Toronto railway Buill but it he less to recommend it the West Ern Enterprise. Ours a assured of a Large traffic from the Day ibis first operated that traffic in fact is awaiting it As is also a development the extent of which few Ean now estimate and there Are no difficulties a to Harbor accommodation. With Little trouble and expense the Nelson can be made navigable for the largest ships in the world w far up Twenty thirty or even fifty Miles fan Ita drouth bight left. The excitement of the late Dominion con test must have proved too mob Lor sir Charles Tupper seasoned politician As he is the elections were no sooner Over than he go himself into Cross holds with the grand trunk in which he cannot be said to have add it any thing to Hia own reputation or Tobay advanced Tho interests of his party. Indeed the popular verdict is that sir Charles made mistake by Hia towage assault on that railway company. Without waiting to dear Imael of his engagements with the grand trunk to rushes into the columns of the North Taneri can to make an equally Savage attack on or. Wiccan and it must be admitted in All frankness Tomt be has been As unfortunates in his encounter with the Granc trunk. The paper in the review is entitle the Wiman conspiracy a title that will fairly and perhaps just As fully Indi Cate the nature of it. Ite. Appearance was promptly followed by a letter from or. Gold win Smith in the new York times replying to it and As a specimen of the neatness of the rejoinder we give the following what sir Charles Tupper Means by t and Jhuti be i aus by unmask ing Bitt renders will find it difficult to under stand. Lie can Tod allege that or. Wiman o or. Win Ian e friends have been otherwise than open in the advocacy of their views or have employed any agencies other than those of the Public press and platform of both of which or. Wirmann especially Haa made con stand use while the frankness of or. Wiman s character repels the idea of anything on Bis part clan Destito or indirect. Nur can he assign any object of the plot other than free Trade Between Canada and the United states which hardly to come under the category of treason conspiracy in Hia vocabulary appears to comprise the open of operation of for a Public object if d happens to Croas his party and personal game. Does not comp no a combination of unscrupulous politicians mishap plying the Public funds and raising Munda Cious Crins to pro Looff their own tenure of ill gotten Power. The charges of treason which sir Charles Tupper hurls about As Ordinary of party warfare fall not Only on Liberal Lecovra i d Canada bub on the Ameri can statesmen who must have been their confederates and accomplices when two communities Are being drawn together by Mutual attractions we am sure to have in creased intimacy and something like com Muni by if councils Between the political leaders on both aides who Are favourable to better relations. This is not conspiracy nor in there anything in it Dere Gabory to National allegiance or loyalty on either least nine tenths of she Canadian people have no sympathy whatever with this cry of would they give the snap of their fingers for the opinions of the remaining tenth. No sane Man Nob carried away by excess of partisan Zeal bub pets for a Moiren that or. sir Richard Cartwright whose name is associated very frequently with Bis in sir Charles s any thought of treason to Canada s Best interests in urging and working for the freest possible Trade relations with the United sea tos. The Only cause for apprehension in connection with that agitation or in thu adoption of the policy embraced in it was a to those possible ulterior influences which were being disregarded or the effects of which might nod clearly be foreseen sir Charles Tupper in professing to see any thing More dangerous or deliberate than this fives Rise to the suspicion that his usual sagacity is at fault or that he has less Confidence in the Unity of his party or the. Strength of its cause than the other leaders of it. Nosi the Way private Bills Are being headed upon the clerk s table it would appear As if Bhe opposition at least had gone to Ottawa to stay some time. Members of it Are cutting ou5 a Good Deal of work fur the House should the Bills Ever reach Como Pittee and in Auy Case the government Side will be Given plenty opportunities to declare itself on a number of very pressing reforms. Thereof the leading liberals or. Oberlton or. C. Cimeron and or. Edgar Are directing special attention to the election acts and More particularly to tha Aat respecting the franchise. The liberals of Manitoba have just earned a measure far worse in principle than the one the liberals no Ottawa Are striving to anxiously to Amend or repeal. Bub to Beni Liberal ism in Manitoba and liberalism an Ottawa Are two very different things. It will be interesting to hear Bhe new attorney general on the 3ubjecb of or. Greenway s latest election what a grand Opportunity it will afford him to enlarge on the purity and a change obleness of Liberal principles the senator who declined to serve on the divorce court committee of the session and moved instead for the establishment of a divorce court showed his Good sense. Sena tors and Ca Moners alike May As Well make up their minds to establish a court for the hearing and settlement of divorce oases for it is bound to come it will come became the present method of disposing of those cases is cumbrous Corbly and partial therefore unjust in its operation and because a court open to the poor a Well As the Rich Iatha Only proper tribunal. Nine our of ten individual legislators will admit this now bub in takes some Timo to get it into their Heads when taken collectively. Which proves that the average Mem of parliament is less Wise in the House than out of in in the process of translation he loses a portion of hid wits. The following from the Orillia packet will cause As much apprise to Western patrons of the Canadian Pacific As the subject of in did to itself. It is news to the people of the Prairies to be told that Oivi Liby a no longer characteristic of 0. P. R. Management the packet regrets to learn from some who have recently travelled Over the Canadian Pacific railway to the far West that the Courtesy and attention shown no passengers Svery cant this surprises be As in the Early Days every report was the very reverse. But we Are void that Somo of those who lately travelled this line should return to the Pacific Chaab would try the Northern Pacific route.
