Show The Cuuiitllun iivrrnnint Accused Ac-cused ot it .Shabby Trick. Toronto, Out., 14, The following is ft special cable dispatch to the Gli-be of this city: The Times has a Idler from its Canadian correspondent, correspon-dent, on the Pacific railroad question. It acknowledges in ils leading article-that article-that it waB premature to sneak of the failure of the Canadian government lo keep its agreement with British Columbia. There has not been any harm done which canDOt be easily repaired, but il the construction of lho Vancouver island railway is a small matter the failure to construct it is more inexcusable. Canada has no right to repudiate even a small part of ils accepted conditions, though if the dispute cau be narrowed down to one small point there should be little difficulty in ec-ltling the controversy. contro-versy. Tho explanation docs not leave the Canadian government in a creditable position. For the Bake of ils own honor it should revert as far as possible to the strict terms of the bargain. Partial repudiation of the agreement creates a general sense of insecurity. Tne Times cau only describe de-scribe the proceedings as shabby on tho part of the Canadians. |
