That great commercialand streteglc highway from England to India andthefar east, the importance alt which to the empire at large British s,ateemen cannrst estimate, will give his name an honored place English history. That he had human faults a frailties and committed errors, he himself never denied; that he post sessi d much goodness of heart and nobleuess of character is conceded by all; that implicit confidence and faith were reposed in lain), and that esteemed and beloved he was e by vast numbers of his countrymen, is sallply true.

As a rich legacy he has left us the whereon to build a great nation, with a glorious destiny, and he has plainly ar,d earnestly pointed ou how we are to work out that des- tiny ; and here his work ended. Whether Canadians will be true to the trust imposed upou thele the future only will tell ; but, however, one of his last passionate appeals on behalf .of his country should never be forgotten: "I believe that "the spirit of our fathers who "fought and won battle after battle, "still exists in their sons, and "if I thought otherwise, 1 would "sooner the grass was grow "ing over my grave, rather than 1 "should see the degradation of the .'country which I loved so much "and served so long.

The Premier was un conscious, as indeed he had been duringthe st at hairs, and in a Comatose state. The yetient's +++ In arranging for the observance for Dominion Day the nature of the anni- versary cannot be too distinctly kept in remembrance. The first of July it not merely e. holiday, a day of rest and re creation, but is ret apart to commemor- ate the birth of a new nation. While the crash of band music, athletic games and glare of pyrotechnics may very pro- perly hold a place on the program, still the real object of the celebration should never be lost sight of. This object is to stir up the latent patriotism of our people. To secure this the arrangements must be somewhat different to what thev have been on some previous occa- sions. Patriotic ardor does not feed on fireworks, nor is it fanned into flame by the wind of brazen instruments. The main feature of the celebration should accord with the day. Canadians should on the corning national anniversary, be reminded that they ire citizens of a nation limited in extent only by two oceans and the north polo ; with re- sources beyond computation .apd a his- tory which, though short, is full of in- cidents, the rehearsing of which cause the cheek to glow and heart to beat faster, * * * What will happen in parliament ? is the question which most men are asking, and which few seem able to answer. Some ask if parliament will be dissolved and a new election held. To that ques- tion, the simple answer is, No. Parlia ment exists during the time fixed for it by law, unless the Governor General sooner dissolves it, with or without the advice of the eabiuet. In ordinary times the Governor General does act without the advice of his cabinet; and no reason exists to demand a dissolution. Parlia- ment•has justcome from the country, and fairly represents public. sentiment.. The Governor General will call upon somo statesman indicated by circum- stances or recommended to him by gentlemen whose opinion he holds in respect, to form a new cabinet. When a premier dies or resigns. the ,Gover- nor General cannot act upon the advice of his cabinet, because, the cabinet- that is, the body ot his excellency's constitutional advisers -has ceased to exist. .But, acting within his preroga- tive, in the light of such knowledge as he can get, be will ask some prominen man to form a cabinet; and the house of commons will, in its own good plea- sure, approve or disapprove of his ex- cellency's choice of a chief adviser.

The sessions of the Houses of Parliament on SIonday afternoon will remain long in the tcmories of those who were in the chamber. he first of the public demonstrations by vbich his country will pay honor to the dead tatesmau were made in the utterances of both Houses andthe resolutions of regret that were adopted. The scene in the Commons was impressive with a solemn mourning suit- -d uit-d to the dignity of that body. The splendid chamber was sorrowful with black •aperies, under whose sombre folds the 'owe of blank -coated members sat in unusual quietness. The black covering over the clerk's table fell upon the green, carpeted floor on either side, and around the galleries and over the Speaker's chair death's decoration hung. The bars of glorious colors shot by the sun through the stained glass windows crossed the loomy draperies withstrange effect. The chair in which the dead Premier sat and his desk were covered with black cashmere. The desk from behind which he had led the House for almost a quarter of a century bore to -day a shield of whitelilies and voilroses, on which blue immortelles spelled the words "Our Chief." There were few variant chairs on he floor and a silence of deep respect rest - d over the members while . they waited for commencement of the day's proceedings. rhe galleries overflowed with crowding men end worries who had waited an hour ou the 1oso gallery stairs for the opening of the loors, eager to be present on au. occasion of iistoric interest. They filled every seat and tood in the aisles and waited uncomfortably or the speaker to rise. • • When Sir Hector Lengevin rose in his place ;he- hush of straining interest settled` the hiftiug, summer- ut;o impassive quiet. When with the words "As the oldest rivy Councillor" Sir Hector ' began his refer- ence to the deader whom he had followed dur- ing half: his lifetime, his voice was husky, So low were bis words spoken that scarcely all he members caught them, and in the gal- eries nothing could be heard. "To tell you, r. Speaker, my feeling, i$ more thrtn I can do," he said, but could not finish the seuteuce •ithout clearing -his throat with Water. • It as with great difficulty he spoke, and the sympathy' of the House was given. him when he sae down with the paper be held in his hand only partly read. The speech of the Liberal Leader was perfect in the nicety with which it expressed the honor in which the memory of a gr•eatpolitical opponent may be regarded. It was full of a generous estimation of the quali- ties that made the late Premier's greatness in his country. But one understood that under the chivalrous tribute, and delicately, re- spectfnlly withdrawn from the preeent 00- easion, were the convictions wbietl, made the orator the 0l rtreal oppon ent of hint wham m he now honored The speech was delivered with a calamus%, a dignity and a sympathy of tone that accorded with the eceasiou, There were not the intrepid dashes, of strong feel - :Ma the bursts of briltianeeby whieh at other drones Mr. Laurter's oratory is illuminated, iet the strength of the leader was in his nanner, the nobility of the statesman and ?atriotiu the appreciation, the honor it paid :no who, whatever may be seta of means tnd metbods, was a substantial factor n Ceuad s growth.
