Tin granting of it charter to a cotnpanj for n certain privilege should oul; bo done after a close scrutiny of lliu questions raised by suoh application. Giiarlers for railroads nro olteu nsked uud obtained years before those Bfieking the same have the slightest expectation of going ahead wilh road b nlding or of securing the capital fur llic same. All Irgitimate propositions of tbis nature arc entitled to c iiisideration, but in many cases n charter for a roud through n certain puss or section ol tho couutry is vain able und a charter without practically any requirements as lias heretofore been grunted should be refused, lu tlie matter of a railroad lo Cariboo there aie wc believe now not le* tlian three charters. That the bold' eis of any cf these franchises have any intention of building u railroad in lhe near future i3 not to bc expected, Of course if capitalists coino along nnd wish to build ttte cliurtci will be in the maiket. It would eecm no more tlmn right and just to tlie people interested in lhe construction of ratlrouals, tlmt ('barters should only be grunted whero the applicant- cm) plainly show that lliey are ill a position to push tlie project to completion , and that thoy should Buflera severe forfeit if they fail so to do. Such a ctiiise wilt tend lo nt leasl cheek tlio too ambitious in seeking n valuable franchise and holding tlie Mime until it is marketable. CHINESE EXCLUSION. The coining session of paiTiamenl at Ottawa, will no doubt sec ii bill introduced raising thc head tax from fifty to five hundred dollars to tie paid by Chinamen entering British Columbia, lt isa measure that can not bo too strongly commended, and will without doubt linve tiio active support of tbe Billish Columb'n members. Certainly, if they represent the pooplo who sent them there tins will bo tlie case. British Columbia is n largo country und will mal:o n. home for many millions of people. Il3 milling, agricultural, stock raising, fishing and timber interests, dy proper utite on tho part of the people, will furnish employment for a vast number of working men. At the present prices, ull the mon required can bo procured without lhe employment of Chinese, and tliis im purtntion should bo practically prohibited. If any exceptions are made for woik Chinese should tie allowed to compete for, is perhaps bouse work, aud in some sections of lbe province gardening. The question will olosely argued nud tho course of all members that represent the people of this province closely followed.
