Wc know that they want to Bootbe our peo plo by such pleasant opiates as they always have, into silence and hollow dreams,and so induce tho Government to believe that this Province does not fear and does not oppose the maehiua tions of its worst enemy. But tbey will uot succeed. Tho people of this country have suffered too much ; they hays too much to dread from the C. P, B.," and so on, aud io on. aud so on. All this was provoked by thu visit of Mr. Whyte and Mr. Marpole, with ���whom tbe paper had an interview nnd to which referenco is made at tho beginning of the nrticle. Thinking to obtain from it the clue to our oontem porary's acute perturbntion of mind, ���we turn to the interview as published and ascertain that the ouly two subjects of discussion wero the Trail branch and the Uosslnud station. The Trail branch is being improved into a broad gauge rond, and the Company have promised to erect a new station building. The change from narrow to broad gauge is progressing, and Mr. Whyte says the work will bo completed as quickly as possible. He gives a most excellont reason why the Company do not want to delay. Owing to tbe necessary transfer at Trail, on account of the narrow gauge, the cost of operating between Boslaud und Hobson is about five times ns much as for the same distance ou the main lino. As to the station, the General Manager promises it will be worthy of tho city and ready for occupation by the time the change of gauge is completed. We can ouly gather, therefore, thai the terriblo "machinations" of the article are merely the desire of the Company to escape extra cost by hastening the change of gauge. We do not know whether the building of a new station "meaus the grinding of this Province under the foot ot a despotic and merciless corporation.'' Porhaps it does, in which can* Nelson would be very glad to have some grinding of the Province on its own account. Altogether tho situation is a puzzling one. Tho only quite clear thing about it is that The Hossland Miner has a bad attack of O. P. H. rabies. Bul with Heiuze blood in itn veins, perhaps that ii not surp riniug after all. The end of the plebiscite humbug has been reached. Sir Wilfrid Laurier has written a leader of tho prohibition uiovomout that the Government would uot bo justified iu accopting tlie prohibition vote as authori or prohibition legislation. That ends it It wns a fraud from the beginning. It was never intended that there should be prohibition, und tbe plebiscite was introduced as a means of escape from au awkward situation. be been pledging the Government to a cash subsidy in lieu of the land grant? For many years it was the policy of the Dominion to give land in uid of railways. It did this because it had plenty of hind uud little niouny. Thnt is British Columbia's ense. We.Jiave land, but no money, nnd it,will be easier on the taxpayers of the Province if we stick to the originnl bargain. ��� The people are not anxious to burden tbemielvei with interest on borrowed money, when they can escape with a land grant.
