Sr., and daughter Miss Mary are taking in the sights at the London Fair this week. m young, the hard merits of Sir Wilâ€" Laurier‘s recent yisit are a‘ready as visible as though posterity and not ourselves were the reviewers. _ Sir Wiltrid himself is now telling the tale to the Canadians, of which of course the two most dramatic incidents are the denunciation of the German and Belgian treaties and the satisfactory progress of the new Atlantic steamer communication between Liverpool and the St. Lawrence. Heis also, as he goes from city to city, endcavoring to picture to his fellow countrymen the sentimental side of his late successâ€" this latter to prove as fruitful in its way as the denunciation of any number of British treaties For the merest tyro in matters political, either here or on the other side of the ® herring pond,‘ must by now have grasped the tact that Canada stands toâ€"day many deâ€" grees nearer to the Mother Countryl than was the case a decade, or even a year ago. , From the standpoint ot Canada and Great Britain, then, Sir Wilfria‘s return home with messages of new understandâ€" ing, new affinity, and new ideas is in eyery way as epochâ€" making as the ~return of the French President, and no stretch of .vivia French imagination, we take it, can possibly sneer at our comparison. â€" After the ftashion of those poets who acquire fame while they are haps, the comparison must cease. France is a time uaten nation ; Canâ€" ada is a new land. _ The Francoâ€"Rusâ€" alan alliance, scaled by the hand of President Faure, is only, as treatics go n deed on parchment, that soon may be as worthless as the ink it is written with. _ Oun the other hand, Sir Wiltrid Laurier, in Englard, made no new bond, signed no new treaty on behalf of Canada and Great Britain that was not of the heartâ€"dictated, not by inâ€" ternational interests, but by a true and abiding sense of kinship. SIR WILFRID LAURIER‘S TRIUMPH. Under the heading ‘Canada‘s Aâ€" wakening," the London ‘Daily Mail‘ of Aug, 31 publishes the following trire editorial :â€" *The trigmphal return of Sir Wilfrid ‘Lagrier to Canada, happening fortuitâ€" ously to coincide with President Faurce‘s return to France, almost forces a comâ€" parison. While ostensibly invited as starting that his real errand was 2 bus‘ness one. President Faure‘s invitâ€" ation to St. Petersburg, likewise origin ally considered as, at the most, of a semiâ€"political character, has resulted in a declaration of alliance between Russia and France. Both visits have proved epochâ€"making in the national calendars of the respetive representaâ€" tives : both have given a new life an opened an unbounded vista to the national aspirations. _ And here, perâ€" i of the Mother Country for the Dmc Jubilee cetebration, Sir Wilâ€" frid doubtless made up his mind before °\~~â€"# 6 4 mz & r teacher, NMr. J EDGE HILL.
