PAUL PRY'S GHOST.

To the Editor op the Nelson Evening Mail. Sir — Your correspondent " Paul Pry's Ghost" does not seem very dangerous or viciously inclined. lam glad to perceive that there are some people in this our delightful city who are not so blind as to suppose the subject of the railway will nofc have sufficient lighfc thrown upon it. I quite agree with the Ghost that such light is essential ; but I cannofc coincide witb firm in •his'.bpinion that the subject should be discussed in the various journals, and think the would-be Railway Hudson shows his. wisdom in nofc beiug dragged into an argument with an unscrupulous journal like the Colonist and its various correspondents. The Ghost is not right when he says the affair will be damaged by giving it a trial.f I have been told that such matters ! are firsfc brought before four or five ca- | pitalyists and their brokers, and if approved of ark tlien launched upon the public, and from the public to -the Exchange. If this is th! case 1 " the people of Nelson need, not be so very much nnoonstruck should they believe that the province will not come to any harm in the matter. ■v. XjteSeems to roe"tn"at the" Government cannot do otherwise than accept the liberal offer made to them. We may be years before we get another such a chance of selling our land at 10s per acre, and the money to go into circulation instead of into the Treasury. However, I feel thafc the matter is in good hands, and am well content to leave it there. I am, etc.. Community.
