THE RAILWAY TO THE) COAST.

World: readers will have no tlc eU from Saturday's issue that a m. ettng has been at Victoria, presided over by ilie Mayor, at which a resolution was passed, which, if carried out, will cserijusly fiffect the elites of Vancouver and New Westminster. It is contended Victoria that the proposed railway shall be direct from the Kootenays to I'olnt Roberts, thence across the Gulf to Kidney ami Victoria, and with much modesty it is con ceded that traltic anangements may tie inaue ilh New Westminster ant Vancouver. Now, Sir, I am' of tile opinion that this is the most important question that Vancouver has had to leal with for years, as by a study of a map It will be seen how we are to be treated. Some months since I ventured to call the attention the readers of the tliu.y pipers to what 1 ihoujiht was looming up in the future, and unfortunately my ptdKci.sticiitions were well founded.

Victoria Rectus i le in a bad way. As an alderman said the question 'or Victoria was "What shall we do be saved." This was the bitter cry from the Capital city. ry il, nobody wants to injure Victoria, but when the proposal touches the rulure we. rare of the two cities on the Mainland there is no reason for sentiment towards Victoria. seems to me that the two ciiies must rise as me man and declare it shall not be.

The main itie must cjm direct to New Westminster and Vancouver, with a luanoh to Foint Huberts lor Victoria. This is a vital question and euou.d be taken uti by the two cities at once. doubt Victoria possesses reat Influence but not utth. I think, as lo lie able to swamp the Mainland ties. If anyone has any tlouijt as to what is 111 the air him react the account of the Victoria meel.ng.

New Westminster and Vancouver must really awake irom their slumbers or it wiii be forever too lute. XIOJI.L. Vancouver, April THE CONVHTIOM APl'KALEO. It will b. rememlierd flint a few IK i v.
