Those who desire to see the bonds be-
tween the Dominion and mother country
drawn closer will have noticed with
pleasure by recent cable despatches that
Canada's exports to Great Britain for
the last three months show an increase
of 38 per cent, as compared with the
corresponding period of last year.
Tho practice of cremation is on the in-
crease in Germany. In addition to the
crematorium which has been fn operation
at Gotha'sinco 1877,., and where from
500 to 600 bodies are now • cremated
every year, a new establishment of the
swine kind has been consecrated at
Ohlsdorf. Another crematory will, be
opened. in October at Carlsruhe, making
the third in Germany.

Tlie reporte of a possible union of the
CanadianPacilio and Grand Trunk, which
created such excitement recently, aro
revived, and the union is much discussed
in London. It is stated that the Cana-
dian Pacific's friends have ;been buying
up largo quantities of Grand Trunk stock
to carry at the approaching meeting of
the latter company in view of a scheme
by which in return for certain conces-
sions the Canadian Pacific will guarantee
the four per cent. dividend on the Grand
Trunk first preference stock. The
rumors have had a good effect on Grand
Trunk stock, and the price has risen.
HON,A.MACKENZIE IS DEAD
The Ex.Premier's Long Illness Ended At
Last.
After a protracted illness of many weeks
Hein Alexander Mackenzie, M, P. for
East York and ex -Premier of the Dominion
of Canada, died at his residence,St.Albau's
street, Toronto, between 12 and 1 o'clock
Sunday morning, The venerable states-
man had been in very feeble health nearly
all winter. the result of a fall which he
sustained early in February, though it was
not till about six weeks ago that his condi
tion became serious. During. those aiir
weeks the dessierato contest between life
and death was sustained with wonderful
vitality, and it was marvellous that the
end was deferred so long. Only a constitu-
tion of iron, preserved by a life of regular-
ity, could have :given to any man such
tenacity of life. Mr,Mackenzie practically
took no nourishment for some" days past,
and was only at times partially conscious,
being, however, comparatively free from
pain.
Alexander 1lackeuzie was born near
Dunkeld, Perthshire, Scotland, on' the
28th January, 1822, and was a son of the
late Alexander Mackenzie, of Logieraft,
Perthshire, by Mary, 'second daughter of
Donald Fleming, of tit's same parish, and
grandson of Malcolm Mackenzie of Strath-
ttpnmel, The father was an architect and
contractor, and his son, Alexander, was
designed for the same calling, beginning,
as the custom is in Scotland, with a pram.
tfeal grouediug in masonry, The lad had
attended school at his native place, acquir-
ing all the branches of a thorough English
education ; but ;he did not i est content
with what he had learnt in the schools,aud
continued the pursuit of knowledge at the
old cathedral City of Dunkeld and at
Perth. His father died -iii 1836, leaving
behind liini seven sons, all of whom after-
wards
fterwards settled in Canada, Alexander being
the third of the number, In 1842 Alex-
ander emigrated to Canada, settling at
Kingston, but after a short period he set
up business . for himself as a builder and
contractor at Sarnia. In 1852 appeared
the Lambton Shield, with Mr. Mackenzie
as its editor, and for two years be continu-
ed in that position. He was filet elected
to Parliament in 1861 for Lambton, and he
beano sooner taken his place in the House
than he attracted ;attention. He favored
Confederation, but had little sympathy
with the coalition, and refused the office
of the Presidency of the Council upon the
retirement of ueorge Brown from the ex-
temporized administration. From the
union of 1807 till 1873 ho was leader of
the Reform party 'in the House of Com-
mons, and in the last named year was
placed at the head of the entire Liberal
party of the Dominion. On the 5th NOV-
ember, 1874, upon the resignation of Sir
John Macdonald, he was called upon by
Lord Dufferfn to form an administration,
in which lie hold, in addition to the Pre-
miership, the office of Minister of Public
Works Shortly after the deteat of that
ministry in the elections of 1878, Mr.'Mao-
kenzie was superseded as leader of the
Liberal party by Mr. 13dnard Blake. Mr.
Maekenzio was a member of the Executive
Council and Treasurer of Ontario iu idr.
Blake's administration from the 21st De-
cember, 1571, until0etober, 1882, when
Ile retired. Air. Mackenzie was twice
married. His first wife was Helen, daugh-
ter of William Neil of Irvine, Scotland,
died on the 2nd January, 1852, leaving a
daughter, who is now the wife of the Rev.
John Thompson, Presbyterian minister at
Sarnia. On the 17th Juno, 1853, he again
married the estimable lady who now pre.
aides over his household, Jane Sym, eldest
daughter of the Iate Robert Sym,of Perth-
shire, Scotland. It has been said that Mr.
Mackenzie was twice offered the honor of
knighthood by Her Majesty, but on both
occasions declined its acceptance.

The high commissioner's report in
England deals at length with immigra-
tion, and shows that Sir Charles has
been untiring in his efforts, by corres-
pondence and otherwise, to draw atten-
tion to Canada as a desirable place of
immigration for people of the right
kind. He gives the following as the re-
turns of emigration to Canada for the
past year, as published by the British
Board of trade :

The report of the Minister of Agricul-
ture affords some interestinginformation
with respect to our cattle trade. A novel
feature of the year's exportation was the
first shipment of cattle from Manitoba
to the British market. They realised as
high prices as any similar animals sent
into the British market during the last
six years. This shipment may be the
beginning of a large trade, which the
Province of Manitoba is well suited to
develop. The growth of our cattle
trade, as given in the Trade and Naviga-
tion returns, is most encouraging. The
figures are as follows

The quantity of Americanmon eywhich
has recently found its way into Canada
and from being accepted at par is to be
rnet daily and hourly at every counting
room and in monetary transactions
everywhere,causes a little suspicion that
the continued accumulation of this foreign
money may lead to a premium on gold
and a consequent depreciation of the
American portion of our circulating
medium, thus creating a nuisance as
great, if not greater than that which
prevailed here from 1861 to 1870, the
serious losses from which have not been
forgotten by the older portion of the
community. We have no desire to
create unnecessary uneasiness in the
matter, but simply wish to point out
that there is a possibility of such a con -
tingency arising and to remind the read.'
er that by a Dominion proclamation
issued in 18'70 the legal tender value of
American silver was fixed at a deprecia-
tion of •20 pet cent. This is its actual
face value in Canada and it should not
be allowed to flood our country at par.

While the Provincial. Treasurer has
figured quta surplus of $5,000,000,in
eluding assets of an uncertain kind, there
•
are liabilities which have to be met, but
of which do account seems to be taken,
and borrowing is still going on. Last
year the Ontario Government paid $59,
200 in meeting annuities' upon which
money had been borrowing in previous
years. During the year they borrowed
269 000 more bythe
me means,and
$ ,
the charges this year will be increased
to $66,200,and will remain at that figure
each year until 1923, unless in the
meantime, as it is likely to be ;,the case,
the Government is forced to 'go on the
market again and borrow further sums.
The Province is now liable for $2,825,-

Yet in his statement of assets and liubil-',

takes these liabilities into, account, in
order,that his supporters on the plat-
