Lawrence ship channel is to be improved so as to admit vessels draring Hugh Allan, to enable him to pursue the tacties in 1883 which were so successicl in way of bonus for the building of the railâ€" way. It will be at onee admitted that noâ€" thing could be more injurious to the interâ€" ests of the country than a policy of this sort. Land companies are proverbially a drag upon the progress of the country. Wherever they set their foot, there enterâ€" prise and developement cease. The London Free Press intimates that the proposed syadicate will be bound down by certain conditions. This isbeside the question. They will not be bound by any conditions that are not favorable to their individual interâ€" ests, and whatever couditions are favorable to them, are ruinous to the settler. This is the experience ofall countries. It has been so in the County of Grey and throughâ€" out the Province, and it is so at the present time in the United States. In tho States the eviis of giving railway sompanies corâ€" trol of public lands have beon so magmifest that the former policy is now being roversâ€" ed. But the teachings of experience are lost | wpon the Government of Canada, and in | their land policy as in their tariff regulaâ€" l tions, they adopt the antiquated and i effete systems of older and wiser communiâ€" ties. Sir John is a consummate poliâ€"| t:cian, if nothing more, and, it is quite| probable that, foresecing the disasters| which will inevitably foliow in the train of |, the N.

Eir John A. Macdonald, while addressing a public meeting at Bath, said, as referred to in our colum=s last week, that the buildâ€" ing of the Pacific Railway would cost the country nothing, for that certain English } capitalists had already made propositions to his Government for the coustruction of the Railroad and that these propoâ€" ! sitions were undar the consideration of the | Covernment at that time. However, it is’ evident that the Government is not satisfiâ€" ed with the propositions made, for the Preâ€" muer, Sir Charles Tupper, and Mr. Pope are en route for England for the purpose, the Mail says, chicfly of working up the Pacific Railway enterprise, and, at the same time, giving some attention en pasâ€" sant to the settlement of the Northâ€"west, and immigration. It may be occasionally necessary for members of the Dominion Cabinet to interview Her Majesty‘s minisâ€" ters, and to confer with English capitalists, but now that Sir Alexarder Galt is mainâ€"| tained in London, England, at s cost to | Canada of $15,000 per annum, for the erâ€" press purpose of looking after our interesis | abroad, it does seom extraordinary that in these days of rapid communication by teleâ€" | graph three members of the Government| / ehould put their country to so large and| unnecessary an expenditure as they | are doing just now in aiding him | in his work. It appears further, from the Ministerial Pross, that in carrying out their j scheme, it is the purpose of the Governâ€" 1 ment to hand over to a Company of Engâ€" | 1 lish copitalists a be!! of land of one husdrodl ‘ miles in width along the reute of the railâ€" } way and one thousand miles long, across | the fertile territory in the Northâ€"west, by 4 â€"The atterspt made by Mr. Gladstone to do justice to Ireland has sown dissension among his supporters in the House of Comâ€" yaons, and especially in the House of Lords. The Bill introduced by the Government provides that the landlord‘s power, ta eviet teannteduring the existence of the famine and for a certain time afterwards, to enable the peasantry to recover from its effects, shall be snspended. This measure, which is regardod as the thin edge of the wadge of a great land »s"orm in Treland, hes exâ€" cited the hostilimy of the landlords, so that several of them have withdrawn their supâ€" port from the Government and many threaten to go with the Opposition. Whatâ€" ever the immediate effect may be there is no question as to the ultimate result. The use and the sale of lard in Great Britain and England must, before long, be subjectâ€" ed to laws and regulations similar to those which affect every other specios of proâ€"| the House of Commons, and more recently at Bath, Sir Leovard Tilley indulzed in glowing pictures of the future state of the Treasury under the benign egis of the N.
