Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pacific Railway Mr. Mackenzie's British Columbia tactics give him the option of explaining whether, when he advertised for tenders for the yale-kamloops line, he meant business, or whether, if it was as he now says, an elec tioneering trick, he was justified in spending $3 for carrying rails from Victoria to Yale. Litera scripta manet. Hansard isfan awkward repository of, words-sometimes. So Mr. Mackenzie found it when he denied his depreciation of the public lands for political ends. He was nailed at once by his own speech, in effect saying that not only had settlers to be given land for nothing, but to be paid for gomg to. The Northwest. His dogging of the English mission of last year, and his patriotic letter to the Manckester Examiner, in which Canadian credit and Canadian energy were alike vilified, got a sharp touching up from Sir Charles. A notable thing was the reply! To the Opposition taunts and gloating over the fall of the English Conservatives. Sir Charles Tupper made it clear that, as far as political. Sympathies can be supposed to stretch across the Atlantic, names had little to do with Canada's prospects, and that the true Liberals were to be found on the right of the Canadian Speaker. Mr. Forster's avowal as to the Mother Country's true policy comes from one who has weight in English Liberal thought. His expressions fall in no way short of Lord Beaconsfield's. It is only too likely for their gratification that the charitable wishes of the Opposition, that the Canadian Government will be embarrassed by the defeat of Lord Beaconsfield, are doomed to disappoint ment.
