TIE cAy1D1 Pacific CONTRACT

It appears that the Canadian Government has
dealt more generously with the Canada. Pacific
Railroad Syndicate than was at first reported The
clause in the contract which says that the Govern
ment shall cause to be completed the section of
the road between Lake Superior ana Sekirk. and
that between Kamloops and Port Moody, upon both
Of which considerable work has already been done,
means that the Government shall pay the construc-
ton bills and present these sections free OF charge
TO the company The Toronto Globe says that the
two sections when completed will cost the Govern
ment $50, $50 600 with an additional $3,110000
for surveys It estimates the value Of the COM
pany's land grant at $5O,00O000, and figures up,
including the S25,OOO00J subsidy in money,
gift from Canada to the railway company
amounting IN all to the value OF $1103G9, 600. Tho
cost of the sections to be built by the company is
estimated By The Globe. on the authority Of Mr.
Fleming, who is quoted as a competent engineer, at
S4S5OO.O0O The company is. therefore. if these
figures arc correct to get the absolute ownership of
2GS9 miles Of road. and land and money to the
amount of $50 100000 for an expenditure on its
part OF only As, 100000.
Probably tue error in The Globes tables will
be fonnd in its estimate of tho value Of
the land, winch it assumes to be worth
an average OF 81 per acre. Much of it will not DO
worth cents an acre, and the company will be
lucky # II rrts ont of the whole grant an average
price OF 81 an above the expenses Of selling it.
Besides tie company undertakes TO run tho road
after it completes it, aud it may have to operate it
at n loss for many years until settlement along the
line and at its western terminus is dense enough to
furnish it with profitable amount Of traffic.

1t Is rather surprising to find the friends OF tho
Rev. Edward Cowley starting in their effort to pro-
cure the remission of his fine OF $3.50 with the
assumption that he is perfectly innocent man,
and martyr to our imperfect judicial methods. 1t
IL asserted only that he did not treat the chill
dren committed to his care badly, but that he
treated them extremely well, and with somewhat
unusual tenderness. 1t is declared that he gave
them plenty TO eat and suGiciency Of clothing and
that they led if not exactly luxurious, at least
comfortable life. We do not believe one word of
this, and we think that there never was
faircr conviction. If the petitioners for clemency
will say that the Rev. Dir. Cowlcy is heartily re-
pentani, that ne acknowledges his error that he
beg, tho forgiveness of the church to which he be-
longs and oil the public whose feelings he narrowed,
and that much rs he may want TO come out of
PRISON he is willing to stay there If he can thus
make reparatiOn. they will be much more likely to
have their prayers favOrably considered. They
have so bunglcd the business that Mr.. COwlcy can
not now be released without casting an undeserycd
imputaton upon one of the most important of our
judicial tribunals. As it il, they are asking for
reversal in an irregular way of verdict regularly
rendered. They propose to rehabllitate the Shep-
herd 10 put his crook once more into his hands and
possibly to confde to HIM tho management of
another fold full of hungry little lambs. We are not
so much desirous Of keeping Mr. COwley in prison
for n few months longer rs we are of having the
verdict stick We do not wish TO see that dis
turbed. Mr.. Cowley not only wants to come out,
but he desires to emerge in the character Of an In
lured Innocent 10 this we do most decidedly OBJ

The Germans appear to be over-seDsitiVe
kbout the comments in this country on the
anti-Jewish crusade. OF course, it is their
owpaffair, but if they want to make themselves
ridiculous by reyiving the stupid, unchristian
bieotry of the Middle Ages, they must not be
surprised to see other nations pointing re-
broachful finger at them.

The chief obstacle to the election of presi-
Gent of the Board of Aldermen lies in the fact
that every Democrat in the Board wants the
place himself on account of the $1,000 extra
salary which goes with it. Mr.. Lincoln once
said that If he had authority to enlist regiment
of brigadier-generals he could ill it up in ten
minutes. What pity 1t is that all the Alder
men cannot be presidents of the Board. There
Is not one Of them who does not think him
self capable of graphing with the duties of
the Office and pocketing the extra salary.
Another evidence of the seriousness of the
irish troubles Is furnished by the plot to blow
M an English ironclad snugy anchored in a
Scotch harbor. Evidently the cause of the
Irish peasants has many dangerously enter
prising partisans outside OF the Green lse.
The sinking Of ship merely because she be-
longs to the British Government would DO an
