There are it present two electi it- railway schemes of large magnitude to the fore iu Ontario and both arc of interest to the people of this county, inasmuch as both purpose running through it. One of these proposed lines a to ruu from Port Perry west- ward to Slielburnc aud Kincardine via Durham, with a branch ny FU-sh- i-ilon to Meaford uuJ Owen Sound. This line would cross iu its course and act ai a feeder to ai.d receive and passengers fiotn no less than liuei of railway, aud would act as a cross country mode of conveyance winch has been sadly wanted lor the past few years. The iccoud line re- ferred to iu proposed to run from tin south, through the county of Water- k.o, where an extciiaivo syntt'in is al- ready under way.

C.Wade, barrister, of Winnipeg, whidi piesenls the matter in a c!ei,r and forcible light froui the atantlpoiut of the Mani- toba government. After reading the pamphlet cue is more than ever con- vinced that Manitoba is quite compet- ent to i'.i :il with tln.s matter in a prop- er mauner without gratuitous inter- furonee from other sources, and the conviction i strong that she has been fair and honorable with all parties, so far as is commensurate with her own growth and safety. The I>r. Grant leiters, which have carried great weight with them in Ontario, ate shown hy this writer to be a series of misleading statements, or errors. The Dr. is churned with bias, with having his mind already mad-,- up when he visiud Manitoba, with making a ridiculously brief" investigation, ami with tliero:nul{4ti'>u of ijlann^ly un- true statements in order to destroy sympathy for tin Mitniti : the n.oney from a drauger, bat a friwnd ill time uf need, and a nmu of (irintiule.
