It was the right thing for him to do. It was the thing any proud man Would do under the eireamsganees. All through the campaign he was put for- ward as the Old Man's right hand. Hugh John Macdonald, his nose and his red necktie, were merely the cal- cium lights for the performance. When Hugh John Wentrdown in the universal cataclysm he was lorgotten at once. His name was nevermention. ed for the Mantle of Elijah -sho'wing that he was never taken seriously. Bat Mr. Foster-the right Wnd--the man who had served the party faith- fully " eighteen years-r-tue man who subordinated his ambitions w" to Sir Charles Tupper)r--the man who play- ed second fiddle with pretty good graCe-- the "tinrst platform orator" in t2anada--the heaven-born .flnaneier--. what became of Mr. F.oster? The right hand got left. The gifted statesman and orator was treated by his party like thirty cents that. had just been spent. Nobody crowded forward to give him a safe seat. Mr. Harry Corby, it is true, resigne‘d in West Hastings, buthr. Foster remembered that Sir Mackenzie Bowen's native heath was in that constituency, and refused, to walk into the'trap. His other flattererg shrugged their shoul- dem, giving him lots of pity but no help. Mr. Foster was reaping the. harvest of his own unsnciability. Of course that icy nature was no ", fault of bis-it was born with him. and a man. may not make himself over with: gooey results. He had to take the conseg' quenccs ota political life into which human sympathy and good comrade- ship never entered.“ It does not pay always to be an intellect pure and simple.

To avoid the 1ey stare of his colleagues, Mr. Foster went abroad, leaving hit cable address be- hind him. If there is a leadership va, cant any where, the deep sea wires will always reach him. . ' The Conscrvativeg have chOSen as their leader, Borden of Halifax, a man who has you to win his spurs, while Mr Foster's name seems never to have been seriously considered. Rather thankless treatment after years in the Second place. The following article sizes up the situation and tries a little guessing: Some people guess that Mr. Foster will be transferred to the Conservative party in the Ontario Legislature.

We are, ac- customed to call great those exception- ‘al beings upon whom heaven bestow- ed some of its choicest gifts, who tggton- ish and dazzle the world by the splendor ot faculties phenomenally developed, even when the faculties are mach marred by detects and wWeaknesses which make them unga- tory of good, but this is not, in my es- timation atleast, the highest conception of greatness. The equipoise of a well balanced mind, the equilibrium of faculties well and evenly ordered, the luminous insight of a calm judgment, are gifts which are as rarely found in one human being as the possession of the more dazzling, though less solid qualities and when these high quali- ties are found in a ruler ot men, com- [ bined with purity of soul, kindness of 1 heart, generosity of disposition, eleva- ‘ tion ot purpose and devotion to duty, this is what seems to me tobethe highest conception of greatness, greet- ness which will be abundantly pro- ductive of happiness and glory of the people under such a sovereign. and it mistsbe not such was the character of The Commons has sat tor a more or less brief session on three deyeand each day there has been a subdued feeling of mourninga sadness in the air. Oh Wednesday there Was none of the usual pomp or circumstance in the program, no soldiers. no music, no pretty girls in gay frocks, and the only bit or color was the ermine trimmed crimson robes of a 'tttgf/ttli,'.? Judge of the St. preme on. who, in his ostracity " deputv governor. conveyed is Excel- Ienev's instructions to the Commons to elect their Speaker before he would come down and tell them the reasons "why he had thought fit to summon them together": on the Commons side there was much of the eheerineag of Welcoming old friends and making the tteeqtmintanee of new comers among the membexs. bat again there was the minor note for many old familiar faces were missing-both sides looked in vain for some ot their oldest and staunchest men. THE FORMAL OPENING When the house re-assembled on Thursday the new Opposition leader Mr. Borden, took his official seat amid generous a plause on both sides, and Sir Wilfrid Bauricr took an early oo- casion to ofi'ep felicitations with the characteristic grace of expression which new-r fails him. Then the a11tomaton-lilre little gentleman-- Usher-of-the-Black-Rod,---) admir- ation of the ladies and the marvel of the new members, sum- moned the faithtul Commons to attend His Excellency in the Senate. Here indeed was every evidence of the [national mourning. "The Opening of Parliament" is always counted up- on in Ottawa as an occasion for a dis. play of all the braverie of bright col- ours, gold laced uniforms. and hand- some toilets--bat to-day dead black prevails absoluteiv; so much so that one daring girl who ventured todis- play red ribbon in her hat attracted more attention to herself than she ap- peared to altogether appreciate. THE ADDRESS OF CONDOLENCE Public interest was well sustained on the third day, for it was known that the Premier would move an ad- dress ot condolence to His Majesty, and the galleries were crowded according- ly. Needless to say Sir Wilfrid's re- marks were worthy of the man and ot the occasion. Though so much had already been said in up reciation and eulogy of our revered Celt he pre- sented the subject in new form and discovered fresh points to dwell upon. His half hour speech was listened to in wrapt and svmpathetic silence. One passage particularly may be quoted, it willrank among the best that has been uttered anywhere: I Ottawa Feb. 9. A distincil: minor note has pervaded the proce ings of of firgt week of the new Parliament. tiifiitUl, not such was the eGrireter of Queen Victoria. and such Were the re- sults of her rule. " Premier Ross has shown that he can talk better than the best ct them, and can build up polieieslikewise He has exercised a tact and camaraderie which have won him hosts of friends. If Mr. Foster should decide to enter- Ontario politics, there would be no bet- ter entertainment than to send him and Premier Ross on a debating tour together --the unpopular verbalist end the orgetnrest,adev'.mani It could work out on y one way. Mr. Fosters's ad. mirers have another guess coming. MII OUR OHM (li)iEl)()lli)illl. The debate on the address will be- gin on Monday afternoon. debate. No one can deny that Mr. Foster is a great word-monger, but his beat friends will not ascribe anything more to his 01 nence than a certain haul. cold l,%"i'S'l', which touches l nothing more than the mind. Premier Ross can touch the mind as well. but their is something under his clear rea- son and apt wording which is more than intellectual. It is something in the essence of the man--a human. per- sonal note that gives warmth and Bin. cerity to his utterances. As an intel. lectual performance. Premier Ross' oratory ismore than equal to Mr. Fos- ter's; as an appeal to something deeper and more vital than reason-the heart oi the people-it leaves Mr. Foster's clever syllogisms and diamond-like sophistriesiar behind. Mr. Foster is an excelleet lieutenant, a brilliant special pleader, but he always failed as a. captain. He cannot lead because his men wont tollow; he cannot contriVe because it is not in him. His talent is not tor anaylsis and dissection. He is i not constructive, which isamuch high. l er gift.
