THAT RAILROAD: AGAIN.

It is a favorite device of the Mar-
tinites to. pretend that all who op-
pose Mr. Martin's particular scheme
for a government railroad are op-
posing the whole principle of gov-
ernment ownership. They also
point to the colonies where goyern-
ment. railroads are. in

ion as les to be fol d
by British Columbia and they refer
to Mr. Martin’s scheme as an effort
to follow those examples.

There is no more reason why the
sincerity of the Conservative plank
in favor of government ownership
should .be doubted than there. is for
doubting Mr. Martin's sincerity in
advocating the several measures in-
cluded in his platform; in tact, there
is less reason for doing so, for glar-
ing instances of, Mr. Martin’s bad
faith are fresh in the people’s minds,
while the Conservative party of the
province comes forward with a plat-
form for the first.time in its history
and is entitled to credit for being in
earnest untilit has proved the op-
- posite.

When a mao. puts a business
proposition before another, it is the
custom to give evidence that it is
practicable, that it will be profitable
and.that the. necessary capital .can
be procured to carry. it through.
Proof on the . first. two points. is
necessary in order to. prove. the

third. Mr. Martin has. complied

with none of these requirements.
In order to prove that this railroad
from the coast to Midway is_ practi-
.cable and would be profitable, he
must have at least a preliminary
survey, with calculations /of the
amount of construction to be done,
“its cost and the resources of the
coyntry traversed to produce
..enough traffic.to pay operating ex-
;.penses. and interest on cost. He
has, no survey,and therefore can
only have the haziest idea of these
points. Besides the data mentioned,

and the latter. would not look with
favor on a measure which tended to.
annex British Columbia, commer-
cially, to the United States and cut
off the province from their field of
trade, it is hardly to be expected
that Mr. Martin’s’ scheme would be
