The Boston and Ugdensburgh people
have succeeded in creating certain degree OF
public interest In the proposal TO construct
railroad from Ogdensburgh TO the Georgian Bay.
Judge Brown Of Ogdensburgh continues his eX-
ertons along the line, holding public meetings
ard attempting to point cut the great advantages
that the construction OF the line would confer
upon the whole extent OF country that would be
traversed by it. Surveyors are buSlly engaged
on the line, and all the field work of the survey
is expected to be completed in little more than
month. On the portions already surveyed, no
serious engineering difficulties have been found
TO exist.
One OF the members OF the new Cabinet has
at length broken the seal OF secrecy that shut
out from public view the intentions Oh the new
combination Government DIR. Roiph, at Dun
das has opened the budget, and no doubt his
speech Will do much 10 reassure the public, to
remove suspicious and To create confidence IN
the Government He states that his views on
public questions are unchanged; that the lnsur-
rcction OF 1897 was directed against the Provin-
cial Ohgarchy and not against England; that
although the Rectory question IS very difficult
one, he is anxious 10 abolish every one of the
tlon will be made Government measure, and
that any reform in the representation must pro-
coed upon the basis OF population. He states
moreover that Mr.. Hincks has taken a solemn
pledge 70 go right on all the great questions
while he speaks IN the highest terms OF the
irankness OF the Governor General, and OF the
cordial way IN which he gives ms confidence to
his advisers and acts upon their advice. He
confesses he had conceived pre- udice against
Lord Elgin, under the mistaken idea that he was
drag upon the car of progress, bur he now sees
that he was mistaken, and that the short COM
ingS OF the late Cabinet are not 10 be explained
on the hypothesis that their policy was shaped
by the objections OF the Governor to the adop-
ton of such a liberal policy as is demanded by
the state of public opinion.
