THE GOING 0 Bessoeen Copyright by Publishers' gress, Lia The governor-general fenves shores after a 'residence in Canada of seven years; and seven years is a long time fn the life of a man. During those years Lord Crev spent himself in the public service with such aban- don as we in this country rarely wit ness. Such emergy is usually reserved for private affairs; and the spectacls of a man forsaking the allurements of wealth and hign position lor the sake of the public good will long be an honorable example to, those who are not content merely with seeking their own. Lord Grey departs with such a knowledge of Canada as is possessed by few Uanadians and by pone who are high in the, imperial council. We may well believe that his services to this country are nol at an end, but that he will continde to employ that knowledge for the common good of the empire. And Lord Grey did not acquire this 00000000000 00000000000000000008000000000, By DR.

Cross of the Mont distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George, received his commission as governor-general of Canada on September 26th, 1904. Ac cordingly, his term expired on Sep- tember 26th, 1909; but April 19th of that year he was asked by the sec- retary of state for the colonies to ae cept an extension of one year, which he did. Therefore the extended term Lord Grey proper on of his govervorship was formally end- ed September 26th, 1910. Put on ac RIGHT HON. THE E bulk of information without taking thought or without enduring much labour. He pursued knowledge with the ardor of un pioneer, and dissemin- ated it with the zeal of an apostle. Heo journeyed "incesscnitly © from east to west, and penetrated northwards into regions: which few have traversed. He was intimately acquainted with every man in public life in Canada, and he did much to make public men soquainted with each other. Lord Grey was not a mere observer He had a mind to understand what he saw, to discover tendencies, to detect dangers, and to foresee the future. By this power of converting know Jedge into wisdom he was able to advise in a perfectly impersonal way, and his advice was welcome because it was so unmistakeably the outcome of a rich experience. Above all, Lord Grey is possessed of that most precious of all wifte, the gift of sympathy, which mukes a man trusted and marks him out as a fit recipient of confidence. The dividing line between class and classis in his eyes too distinct to mark offi wen from men, because he himself is not merely an official but a man. In the performance of his official duties he never forgot that he was governor ARL GREY: G.OMG. count of the delay in appointing a successor, which in turn was due to circumstances arising out of the death of Edward VH, Lord Grey accepted a further term of one year, His sucesssor, the Duke of naught, has been appointed to the place, and he is now on his way, Lord Grey is gone, and we shall never see him again in Canada; for there is an unwritten rule that a governor-gen eral does not revisit the scene of his official labors, With the members staff, and entourage, Liverpool on December the Parisiar, and arrived in Halifax December 1h, This ship, which has since becom. sadly old-fashioned, was then the traditional transport for high imperial offigals Upon his arrival in Halifax the new governor-general sas met by Major General Sir C.

A man who endeavors to claim any re gard or esteem for himself by virtue of his possessing what he considers superior. ancestry, is a man I do not want to make a friend of." With these affiliations one would ex- pect Lord Grey to be a liberal in poli ties. Indeed be was the hiberal mem- ber for South Northumberland till 1596, when he identified himself with the unionists at the time when Mr. tiadstone declared for home rule for freland. But Lord Grey has never bound himself with the fetters of any party. He was well deseribed by Mr. Stead, as "a liberal who supports the conservatives, a temperance rélormer who runs public house, a free trader who takes the chair for Mr. Chamber- lain, and s peace crusader who pro- moted the South African war." In ex- planation of this cryptic saying it may be added that Lord Grey was administrator of Rhodesia in 1896 189%. and in Eogland concerned him- self with co-operation amongst the working people, and the administra tion of the Bishop of Chester's Trust for the amelioration of the evils con- nected with the liquor traffic, Now that the governor is. gone one may attempt, without impropriety, to make some estimate of the effect which he produced in Canada during the past seven years. Whilst the re- presentative of the king was in the full career of his course criticism was een considered an impertinence, : By a certain flexibility of imagina- tion, he was able to enter into thie minds of the people of every province ' which he visited. He told the people | of Cape Breton of the "historical halo | of adventure, endurance, and ro- | mance" which surrounded their coun- | try, and the wortification which he | suffered in sending his correspondence | to England via New York instead of | by Sydney. He admitted in Kingston | that be stood upon holy ground. He: commented upon 'the happy, hand- | some appearance of the people of ¥d- | monton," and "the grace, refinement, | and distinetion" with which they did things, He reminded the citizens of Winnipeg that they were housed on an | area equal to that of Glasgow; he | found in their churches moral earnest- ness, and even taste and culture; and he looked to the time when theirs would be "a city of music, art, an literature." Hamiltonians were com- plimented upon the victory won by | their William Sherring, that swift athlete of Marathon. St. John was considered the most likely abiding place of the soul of Canada. Halifax gave a lead to the world in tolera- tion: and maritime provinces general lv were described as "the centres of | culture, power, and civilization." With Lord Grey it is not easy say where the pleasantry ends and the seriousness begins. If he had oc-| easion to address the Evil One be would begin by commending his fer sistency, and conclude by telling im other truths which were equally ob- vious if not equally pleasant. At St. | John he reprehended "a fierce party | spirit bent on the unscrupulous at- tainment of its own aggrandizement, and in its sclfish pursuit, blind and denf to the higher interests of the, state." He also told them that they | did not know how to curs herrings. In equally plain terms at Winnipeg | he rebuked with no idea of serving any other in- terests than their own, and instead of guardians "become vampires upon the people whose trust they have be-, trayed." . 1 In all his public speeches Lord Grey has combined a singular graciousness with sincerity of feeling and absolute truth of statement. When he had oc- casion to refer to Wolle mt Mont- calin, he reminded French and Fnglish that it was possible in one national ity to combine the virtue and valor of the two races.

By a | awift turn he demonstrated thal these were really the issues which were ai stake in the Boer war. Again in Ot- | tawa, in an address to school chil dren on the occasion of the celebra- } tion of the centenary of Nelson's death, he repeated the lesson by pointing out that "it was the cause lof freedom as opposed to depotisn to militarism, of the equal rights of free men as opposed to the coercion of a tyrant." ¥ | "Not infrequently Lord Grey bas enunciated political principles, as pregnant with meaning as the maxims of Burke. One of these was imbedded in an address at Toronto, "MH it was the mission of the last century to es tablish the principle of individual rights, it is the mission of the present century to teach the lesson of indi- vidual duty, and the subordination of personal advantage to the more eom+ manding interests of the public good." { At other times his thought has risen to a high level of public morality, as when he urged the people of the prairies to make those udeals their own, "which shall require them to esteem honor above success, the spirit of sac- rifice and service above that of selfish- ness and greed, and nobility and effi- ciency rather than the pursuit of Weasure and the gratification of seif- mdulgence."" stopped, and eulogy might well have; Nor have the children of Canada been forgotten. In an address at Re- gina Lord Grey urged upon the boys | a "passionate love of fair play and a fearless determination to expose awl punish everything that is dishonor able and mean." To be honest, he said, was more praiseworthy than to be smart. There has also been a word for women, "the most lovely of the Creator's works," and "the most powerful for setting social standards." When lord Grey came to Canada, there was little feeling in the minds of the people of their imperial re sponsibility As he goes away the sense is deep-seated, and has already begun to manifest itself by certain motions towards the pocket. Nothing could have been more winsome than his countenance toward that move ment. which has ended in the creation of a Canadian navy. There was no attempt to persuade the people to en- gage in an expenditure about which they 'might afterwards repine. On the confrary, at the Canadian Club at St John, August Lith, 1997, he gave good reasons for "view that Canada should. not make any immediate con tribution to the fleet," as there werr other directions in which it was more important in imperial interests that Canada should expend her energies at that time. He comforted the people of Toronto by telling them that they were contributing to the empire ir many wavs, if not to the imperial fleet: and on another formal occasion in Quebec he affirined that "there is other work to be performed of ever greater importance than an immediate contribution.' And all this time he gently chaffed When he presented on our behalf a shield and smoking-tools to the battleship Dominion, he reminded us most delicately that the ship was a joint undertaking, England paying for it, and we providing a captain and a pame. Then he told us how certain those who seek position po wus as he witnessed on every side a healthy, manly, self-respecting spir- it, that Canada, when the time was ripe, would do even more than he: duty, towards the fleet which protect He deseribed on other ocea sions the pleasure and pride which Englishmen felt in paying their taxes for the maintenance of that fleet, and how resolved they were to bear the burden, though they numbered fifty per cent. loss than the people of Ger many and only tall the population of the United States.
