BUTLER, EDITCB AND MANAGER WEDBESDAY, J ANY, "NOTES FROM OPeAWA. BPECIAL DENCE 1, 1888, CORRESPON: STRATFORD " EDETORTAL TO "THE ES. 2 oe The interview of Mr. Norman, of the Pall Mall Gazette, with Sir John 'Macdonald is one of the most re- markable in the' history of Journal ism. The great, wise, and genial statesman who has devoted his life to the hereulean task of creating a nation out of the heterogeneous mass of different and often hostile races and creeds of-which our Do- minijon is composed, seems to have taken this informal method of ex- to the world his inmost and ars thought out ideas as to the aes between Canada and the other great colonies and the mother country. His remarks to Mr. Nor- man will, like the farewell address of Washington to the people of the United States, be quoted as the political testament of the chief founder of Confederation long years after his bones shall have mingled with their kindred dust. For 8 John has now reached that po leg ting point in his career at-which no farther increase of greatness or ory is either possible or desirable. e is atthe top of the mountain and can rise no higher. To him, the past is a retrospection ; the pres- ent a floating shade; and his sole interest--so far as this world is con- eerned--is the place he will occupy in history and in the hearts and th 7 toils and trials will have built a = . Sir John's summary of the argu- ments against Commercial Union is characteristic. He told Mr. Norman to a farmer who had been pote at impressed by Wi- speeches was that he (Sir! fghn) nous ht Commercial _Union ight be a sae Loire but for * second, tlint the United States would have nothing to do with it; dnd lastly that Canada would have no- thing to do with it. - * Devoted as Sir John is to the greatness and unity of the Empire, he is far too practical a politician to believe that it can ever be possible to create an elective body capable of ruling from London communities so diverse in interests and scattered over the whole world. . His idea of auxiliary nations--an idea first pro- by him on, I think, his last visit to England --arranging with the mother country, through their Governments and Parliaments, their quotas of mem and money for defen- is the only plan under SE Tove Tn rial | Federation can ever become paar more than a beau- tiful vision. s Sir Charles Tupper in & Tetbac to a London Aly last winter, the funds for than defence might be raised Amposition of a duty of five per cont. ad valorem on all goods impor- } --meother--country-or- edlonies from countries outsideof the Empire.. Such duty to be in addi- _ tion to the duties levied for their own by the legislatures of the countries within the Empire.

It furn- ishes another proof -- were proof the magnetic power and jafluence- which this great builder, perhaps ~"pioc sirpass in humor, auy of Sir ofa township, nor change the law as to landed property, nor prescribe | > nor regulate Oe natior-| Ase an Ottawa ~--s -cros#ing, and "om cultured correspondent of a leading London newspaper, all yield to the wonderfully fascinating 'influence of this remarkable man, who had he lived in a heathen age or country would undoubtedly either have been burned as a wizard or worshipped as a god. = . . a Mr. Norman finds in Sir John the characteristics of three famous states- nen--a great personal likeness to cane Beaconsfield ; Mr. Gladstone's old-fashioned courtesy and elaborate diction ; and Abraham Lincoln's abundance and aptness of stories. Speaking of stories, the one told by Mr. Norman about Sir John's advice to a. young reporter, equals, if it does John's own anecdotes. Mr. Norman must be permitted to tell it in his own inimitable manner, though the temptation to narrate it is very strong. It is one of those 'stories which once heard are never forgotten --the point being so exquisite, and the humour so racy. <r . . e . As a nation-bnilder, there are but iree men of this generation with 10m History will rank Sir John Macdonald--Bismarck in Germany, ee in Italy, and Francis Deak, who after Moltke's needleguns at Sadowa had prostrated the mild but despotic rule of the house of Haps- burgh-Lorraine, erected on ita ruins the constitutional federation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. is- marck, Cavour, Deak, Macdonald--a quartette of great statesmen, differ- ing widely in the circumstances sur- rounding them, and the races among whom and for whom they had to work, but resembling each other in the one essential point--that is the object for which all four of them have toiled and triumphed. All of thém have built up--either by diplo- |} macy, parliamentary tactics, or the sword--out of many discordant and jincongruous elements, magnificent "political structures, wielding . the force and exerting the influénce that Unity combined with Order alone can give. a Sir John's preference for a Legis- lative instead of a Federal Union of British America dates from _pre- Confederation days; and no doubt come him to describe our provin- islatures: to' Mr. Norman as oahiee bat large municipalities with limited jurisdiction. This de- finition is scarcely correct, if the impression Sir John wished to con: vey was 6 cial legisia- tures were municipalities in any eir powers are exercised are smaller than that of the Dominion, and that the powers of the Provinces | * extend over a less important class of subjects. The authority of both the Dominign and Prgvincial parliaments is limited and 2 Gucivative; not in- herent--both of them being created and endowed with jurisdiction over certain subjects, and within certain defined limits by Canada's Magna Act of 1867. Within their own sphere tle Provinces are as indepen- dent of the Dominion as the Domin- ion, in its sphere, is of the Provinces. If the Province ¢annot grant a dixorce, "~; coin money, nor levy troops, ion. cannot. endo a rareeret, nor alter the boundaries the qualifications of school-teachers, e succession to intes- tates' estates. In this sense of being a limited and derivative power, the Dominion may therefore termed a ated equally with the Provin SEJANOS.
