If mutual cot.fidence is lost the family is des- troyed. Banks lend their money on personal confidence that borrowers can and will fulfil thew promises to repay--so with every other business, all rest in a founda- tion of confidence that promises will be fulfilled. The rule applies equally in puplic affairs. It is 2 truism to say that the basis of re sponsible government is public con- fidence, which means, not merely policy proposed public that the agreement with but confidence by the the members of the Government can and will carry out that polic,. On this basis if on no other the government of Mr. Ross should be defeated. Does anyone either friend or foe, believe that either can or will fulifil his promises His record shows that all through his public career he bas been promisor who failed to fullfil.

Harry Wil son, of the Body Guatd, who was an expert operator. We were, of course, anxious about the general's position, and I asked Lord Melgund whether we should not bring out all the troops we could hurry up and march out to reinforce our comrades. Ho advised me to wait, and I found that at any time I could not get in couriers to the camp and receive re- plies, then ft would be best to tele graph to the Government that, as senior officer near, I was going to or- der forward all the troops that I | could reach, and march to relieve | the general. Fortunately I had not to take any such responsibility. ¢ ¢ | Surreunded by a Patrol. *1 did pot see Lord Melgund again for 14 years, when as Earl of Minto and Governor-General he held his first reception in Toronto, when he reminded me of meeting the patrol of my men on their way to the Spa- tinaw. He met them a few miles away from our post in the early dawn. Lord Melgund was accompan- jed by an orderly, the Hon. Mr. Fiennes, one of French's Scouts, a son of Lord Saye and Sile. When the patrol met them, two mem rode out rapidly to each flank and surrounded them, much to the anwusement of Lord Melgund, who did not at first understand what they were doing. They showed him the way to ous eamp and then went on." The Earl As An Imperialist, Nearly every other historian of the memorable rebellion has had some- thing to say about Lord Melgund, and one and all speak with the wut- most respect of the soldierly quali- ties he there displayed. He was re- commended for honors by Gen. Mid- dieton, but unfortunately the general was at the time under a ¢loud, and his representations were not given much consideration. Since coming to Canada as Governor-General it has not been possible for His Excellency to prominently identify himself with any particular circle or interest, but it has been plain to all that he cher- ished the warmest recollection of his comrades on the prairie. The Earl of Minto's love for horses has been equally manifest, and no important race meeting in Canada has passed without his familiar figure being scen in the paddock. Mind Reading. !
