Macdonald, and leyal Conservatives are meeting to decerate his statute in the Queen‘s Park, and be addressed by Mr. J. P. Whitney, and other leading Conservaâ€" tives. â€"Mr. Gilbert Parker, the talented Canadian novelist, was banquetted last week in Toronto by the Canadian Club. _A brilliant assembly of literary characters were present, and loyal and patriotic speeches and toasts abounded. â€"N. Clark Wallace, though anxious to retire, has again been unanimously elected to the ofoeition of Sovere‘ign Grand Master the Orange Grand Lodge of B. North America. The next meeting of this body will be held in Toronto. â€"â€"M. C. Camerou late M. P. for West Huron, is now Lieut. Gov. of the N. West Tertitories _ ‘The appointâ€" ment is considered a very good one, and on the authority of a Counseryvaâ€" tive contemporary he "was a master ot the technical rules of parliamentary debate, had a trenchant style and a serious manner," qualities which will be quite in place in his new sphere. Of course the opposition make a great ery about the violation of the principle ot independence of parliamen: and if it eould be shown from his record that Mr. Cameron had been kept from voting tory ow;:f to a promise of favors, there would be something in the charge. But "M. C." hasastraight record, and few will deny that tbough a party man of considerable weight, he is well fitted by his long experience in the work of his country to fill worthily the position to which he has | been appointed. â€"The Spaniards, with a wily subâ€" tility, are noet opposing the landinfi)of Americans in Cuba. They feel that their troops, seasoned and acclimated as they are, are more than a match for raw recruits, besides yellow fever will aid them. â€"A schooner on the way from Seatâ€" tle to the north having on board 61 prospectors foundered at sea last week and 34 were drowned the remainder escaping on a launch. It is just posâ€" gible this catastrophe is caused by the rush to the north tempting the use of unseaworthy boats. â€"The supplementary estimates have been brought down and call for an exâ€" penditure of over $3,000,000. _ Much of the expenditure, which is undoubtedâ€" ly large, is of a kind that will be revenue producing and therefore justifiable. All the same many liberâ€" als would be delighted if the public expenditur« could take a turn downâ€" wards without impairing _ public efticieney â€"Sir Louis Davies, Minister of Marâ€" ine and Fisheries returned from Washâ€" ington last week where he has been conducting negotiations along with Sir Julian Pauncetote and _ American Statesmen looking to a settlement of outstanding difficulties between Canâ€" ada and the United States. Marked suecess has attended the conference and a commission is to be held in Quebec at an early date to arrange, by treaty if possible, for a cessation of international bickerings on various subjects by a brotherly give and take feeling. _ It will score another triamph for Sir Wilfred Laurier, it by "sunny" methods international as well as do mestic questions can be settled. _ The present time is most opportune for such a treaty, and, Canada is fortunate in having statesmen at the helm who know ‘"how‘to take occasion by the hand and makeâ€"the bounds of freedom wider yet." Mr. Foster expressed his congratulations on the prospect, and the premier very cordially thanked him. â€"The investigations asked tor by the opposition in connection with the Drummond county railway, so far from proving a scandal to the Liberal party have resulted in discomfiture to the â€" Conservatives. Sir _ Herbert Tupper too was ‘"after" Mr. Sitton for acting in the Manitoba election ferauds without du&s authority but finds that Mr. Sifton, (then Attorney Gencral of Manitoba) was duly authorized to proceed. These are but samples of attempts to make campaign material which have failed. â€"â€"A ballson search expedition â€"A tax of 10¢ a lb. on tea is the â€"Rev. N McDearmid proposed a radical change in Methodist polity at the Lindsay Conference. This was no iess than preposals (1) to s&:‘p transfer of ministers from one Conference to another,. (2) A Central stationing comâ€" mittee composed of equal numbers of Ministers and Laymen, and (3) that the pastoral term te 4 years instead of â€"Angloâ€"American ftraternal feeling is taking a deep hold of British people. Ot course it has never been dormant there though the **Americans" gave them small credit for it. What we are glad to see is a generous manifestation of the feeling by Americans, and we hope it may grow as strong as the British article. If it does a moral union will surely take place, â€"Plimsoll, the "Sailors‘ Friend " is dead. His one noted life work was in securing legislation to prevent mercenâ€" ary ship owners from sending out old hulks to sea, highly insured, so as to {)rofit financially by their loss though inman lives were endangered. The **Plimsoll line" was a mark put upon trading ships to prevent dangerous overloading. His name is worthy of much honor for his humane work was met with much oppesition. â€"Mrs. Gladstone it is reported is to be offered a title‘‘Countess of Liverpool" while a son is to be honored with ‘"‘Visâ€" ceount Hawarden." We don‘t believe Mrs. Gladstone will accept the honor. It woeuld Icok like an insult to the husâ€" band whose greatness was aboye such titles, and once in a while it would benefit Westminister Abbey to have a plain ‘"Mr. & Mrs." laid to rest among the many titled dead. *‘*A man‘s a man for a‘ that. â€"If it were not for this funny war, which takes up the buik ef the surplus attention people have to spare, eyes would be turned towards Africa, where great changes loom up in the near future. Cecil Rhodes‘ dream of ‘"from Cape to Cairo" under2British Rule will be accemplished some day, but not we fear before a struggle with France who is making desperate efforts to bave a **Zone" across the continent from east to west. And then Paul Kruger has to be reckoned with for his personality is so powerfual that it is expected not until his death will a union be secured in South Atrica where the Dutch, unlike all races in America refuse to be Angliciised.
