He was enthusiastically applauded when ne declared that the British Constitaâ€" tion was the pride of all British subâ€" jects. He showed how all other countries in the search for liberty had bad to adopt the principles of that constitution in whole or in part, and remarked that the mostillastrions exâ€" ample of all was that of the Ameriâ€" can Colonies, which, when they hbad wrenched themselves from the Mothâ€" erland, had paid her the compliment of adopting her constitation as far as the new conditions permitted. He showed why, in his#pinion, the Britâ€" ish Constitaution was more elastic and more responsive to the public needs than the American Constitution. Sir Wilfrid Laurier‘s recent speech on ** The Constitations of Great Britâ€" ain and the United Statesâ€"a Comparâ€" ison, " given before the Woman‘s Canadian Club of Montreal, was an important one, and one which teachâ€" ers and leaders of debating socicties will find exceedingly valuable for readings and for discussion. An Important Address by Sir Wiifrid Laurier. the money will be given «â€"â€"â€" 4 ¢ + P) Imp zZ4 z= MEmEe c , ts e L * rofits Durham has been the scene of many interestingâ€"and even exeitingâ€"episodes both political and municipal, in the past half century, but there‘s to be a gathering there next Monday which will be altogether novel and drawaatic. It is an epochâ€"marking occasion, Fifty years ago in the old stone hotel in " Upper Town " conducted by Isaac May, there assembled around a rudo table five good men and true transacting Benâ€" tinck township‘s basiness, while a httle apart sat an envergetic young Scotchman of 26 years who was filling the office otf Clerk for the first time. At the head of the table sat George Jackson, the man who a few years before successfnlly contested the whole of the county of Grey and went to sit in Parliament in Quebec, Jackson was a man of much busine«s dispatch, curt and incisive, but chivalous withal and a real knighs of the old school. On either side of him sat Alex. Smith, Jawes Hopking, Daniel MeNichol anud James Allau, _ What business wos transocted then is perhaps not of much interest now, but all honor to these grand uld pioneers of the pass who threshed out many knotiy problemâ€" of which their children and grmadâ€"chil dren reap the benefit toâ€"day. Bat the years bave come and gone, and time inevitably works changes. _ All those +taunch fellows of the main table and many others who came later and filled the chairs have finished their task and have _ gone _ across, All but one who sat in the httle stone hotel fifty years ago on that wiuter‘s morning have left us, and it is in honor of this manâ€"the clerk of 50 yeaas ago and now â€"â€"that the municipal fathers of the good old township of Bentinck will meet in Durham on Monday next to celebrate. Oun this occasion the event will be keld m the town counzil chamber which bas been tendered free, and indeed the keys of the town have been handed over as well. _ On this 50th auniverâ€" sary the genial, young and competent reeve, J. 8. Wilson, will, ‘tis said,. pid a long farewell to affairs municipal, but it is hoped and expected that the sterâ€" ling old watch dog of the township, the clerk, Duncan Campbell, he of fifty years‘ service, will remain on the job and keep an eye on " the boys." There are many in the township which he has served so long and so faithfully, many in the town of Durham where he formâ€" erly lived and many in Hacoyer where ho now resides who trust that a kind Providence wilit vouchsate him many more years of usefalness, Fifty Years Ago. and Now The new municipal; law came into foree in Upper Canada on Jav, 1st, 1850. The council elected in Bentinek that year were :â€"Geo Jackson, Jas Burgess, H. 8. Schofield, Alex Smith and Alexâ€" ander MePbail, John Boyd was clerk and Treasurer. In those days the reeve was uot elected, asthey are now bat the _ councillors elect appointed one of their number, In this year Jackson was the choice. _ The number of ratepayers on the assossment roll in 1850 was 507. In 1854 Jackson was e‘eâ€"tgd to parliament for Grey, _ In 1859 Dyncan Campbeli first tasted the delights of municipal life, somewhat against his own wishes, They had a story going that he was not legally eleoted, He was nominated corâ€" rectly by Robert MeTaylsh, and secondâ€" ed properly by Jas McCartney, bat it was the days of open voting and as eash of the voters came in and the question put as to who they wished to yote for, the reply invariably was " Dunâ€" can." Consequently Duncean and pot Campbell was elected said the wags in those days. _ Mr Campbell sat for two vyears, and then took the clerkship, succeeding Alex Cochrans in 1861, The salary was $120 per year. â€" In the carly days the nomivations for conneil lasted ouiy one hour from 10 to 11 o‘clock. und then the yotmng started and lasted until 5 c‘celock of the segond day. The west side was unrepresented until Campâ€" bell was elected in 1859, The vote stood as follows in that year : Jackson 3983 _ Hcpkins 229 Campbell 881 Miller 222 Allan 362 Fietcher 171 Smith 238 Leggett 78 In 1859 the township was divided into wards, Alex G, Smith was the 1st Deputy reeve of the towoship. It is a matter of interest that Geo. Jackson filled the dual offices of member of Samuel Dickson who passed away this year was first elected to the counâ€" cil of Gentrock in 1864, Dan Neâ€" Donald. onee a prominent figure in Bentinck municipat life and a teacher and great favorite in Hanover now oceupies a prominent post with the Confederation Life Insurance Co. in Winnipeg, Parliameat for Grey and reeva of Benâ€" tinck at one and the same time, The first meeting of Bentinek council held in Hanover was in the year 1863 and was held at MceGaw‘s hotei where the Queen‘s now stands, Bentinck has many loyal servauts in the past balf century, many who serâ€" ved her shorter and longer terms, Aâ€" mong those on the roll of honor for lengthy service we might mention :â€"â€" James Hopkins, David McNichol, Samâ€" uel Dickson, John McCallam, Frank Chittick, Daniel McDougall, Dapiel Moâ€" Dovuald, Henry Brigham, Dancan Campâ€" bell, William Irvige, and Harry Wallis, Duncan Camphell the veteran clerk of Bentinck, is 76d’earfl of age. _ He taught echool in Hespeler in 1850â€"53, lived in Durham from 1854 to 1857 and then came to Hanover. _ He first kept a goneral store here, and then spent 15 years in the foundry business. He was a magistrate for 85 years, division court clerk 21 years, clerk and treasurer of Hanover for 8 years. In all he has served well and fauth{fally. At the age of 76 we find him young in heart and spiritâ€"â€"as ready to throw a quip as a youngsterâ€"still in the harâ€" ness, manager of an insurance com pany, and working pretry nearly every day of the year. _ ‘Tis a great record, â€"Parliament was not more than two days old when H. H. Miller, M. P., moved in the matter of having legislation enacted that will put re strictions on the yice of gambling a little tighter than heretotore. The grotesque interpretation put upon the present law that it is gambling if you keep still in a place, sitting or standing, but not gambling if you keep moving about, will no longer be missible if Miller‘s mo:ion carâ€" ries, as it likely will, certainly as it ought to. He pointed out that most of the great States on our borders, and other countries had banishe d gamblers, and it was too bad that laxity of our laws should allow of Cmad& being made a dumping ‘gmnn of the worst elements in s:rciety.
