Y EAR AGO.
A year ago Canada suffered an ien
=payable loss in the death of Sir John
Macdonald, then and for malty years
.ezetviously, Premier and leader of the
Mouse o Cousmons The great states-
man had been srieken down with par-
alysis, and for seyeral days lkngered
venconmeions, the sands a life slowly
ebbing meaty. His last illness hushed
title strife of contending factions, spread
gloom through the commennty, retard-
ed the wheels of business, and drew all
eyes to the dark room at Ettrnscliffe,
where in thought a whole people
watched at the bedside of the dying
etuen,in sorrow and pained anxiety.
Els death "eclipsed the gayety of nat-
ions". The grief of his own country-
men flowed forth in a stream of gen-
u lna and. universal sorrow; all creeds
and classes joined in mourning the
pubSic loss: while front England, and
indeed from all quarters of the world,
eributes to the genius and patriotism
o f the deceased poured into Ottawa.
The inhabitants of .the cities, who
hed been accustomed to see the well -
renown features of Sir John from day
day upon the streets and in all
places of public resort, experienced in
an especial manner a keen sense of
personal bereavement. The man whose
etame was an household word through-
out the Dominion, and was regarded
with affection by thousands who had
never teen him, could hardly fail of
^winning the ardent admiration of those
who fell under the fascination of his
winning personality from day to day.
22eetood high in all the people's hearts
and his empire there remained un-
questioned while life lasted. The mere
titles of the important measures placed
by him upon the statute book would
au a volume, but no enumeration of
fridividual acts could give an adequate
:action of the influence of his plastic
genius upon the destiny of Canada.
He: made the country in so far as a
eotantry can be made by uniting ire
significant and scattered colonies un -
dee ene goyernment, and providing
She commonwealth so formed with In-
stitutions and laws. It is a tribute to
aEs greatness that the cohesion of this
structure of Canadian nationality has
ifa MO way weakened since his death
The predictions of the enemies of our
eountry that after him' the deluge
wetald sweep away Confederatien, has
;Seen falsified. Indeed, the bye -elect-
ions would seem to indizate that pat.
niotism had been born again.
THE PRESIDENTIAL CAM-
PAIGN.
Dur neighbore to the South are al-
matly in the throes of the quadrennial
annepaign for the election of a Presi
e.sit. Already the Republican Party
Staeissued a forecast of what their po
tical programme is to be at their Nat-
ional Convention to be held in Minae-
apolls. They will endorse President
Harrison's administration of affairs in
its entirely—In his foreign policy and
:Some rule, in his advocacy of protec-
tion as interpreted by the McKinley
teteiff and in the further extension of
the silver question with a view to util-
liting the entire silver product of the
Visited States as money. These are
the chief features in the outlined plat -
lone of the Republicans. Both parties,
2tewever, age confident of success,
Zleantime a bombshell has been unex-
pectedly thrown into the camp of the
Republicans by the resignation of Jas.
Blaine as S'ecretary of State. There
seems little doubt that Mr. Blaine will
iSe proposed for the office of President;
efattl if so, this is likely to make serious
fret:coeds among the delegations instruc-
eed to meet at the Minneapolis Conven-
tion, as it has already cast consterna-
tion among; the followers of Harrison.
Blaine's resignation was the universal'
eople of discussion last Sunday in polit-
Sul circles throughout the whole Re-
public. The Cabinet was hastily sum.
tweeted and dismay was pictured on the
iStees of members when the President
announced Blaine's resignation, which
was of course accepted, It is not at all
u nlikely that the coveted prize of the
office of President may be snatched out
ofiTarrison's hands by his late Secret -
any, which, in the opinion of many in
ttee Republican party, would only be a
511Litable recognition of it brilliant car,
eier of able and aetute, statesmanship.
REDISTRIBUTION BILL.
e debate,which came up last week
ten the bill submitted by Government
fer eqyalizing the eepreSentatien in
Sominion p1iit naturally
evol ed. a good deal of ell tieism OR the
tete the 01)poiiou () MAU, iti
any caw, With, their geeatlY reduced
minority, the members on the left of
the Speaker try to make capital mat of
anything and, everything Wreath:0d
by Government, The burden of the
Opposition's complaint is tint certain
eonstituencies lave been gerrymand
ered to the dtsadvantage of the Grits
and to tue Government's gain, This
WaS Mr,Laurier's contention, Although
the facts and statistics presented more
especially by the Hon. Mr. Ouimet,
Minister of Public Works,—went to
establish the perfect fairness and im-
partiality of those who framed the Bill,
porton inagiuviars was Mr. Punnet
himself, One important fact brought
out by the Minister of Public 'Works, in
reply to Mr, Laurier's contention, was
to the effect that in Quebec proyince
(for example) where 38 Liberals were
returned to only 27 Conservatives, a
large majority of total votes was ney-
ertheless polled by Conservative candi-
dates. According to Mr. Ouimet, the
Bill under consideration was drawn
simply with the view of correcting this
inequality; indeed, as was contended
by members of government, there was
no "gerrymander" about the Bill at all
—but simply- a levelling; up of the yar-
ious constituencies; and, if any ground
of complaint existed, it was on the part
of some Conservative menthers. The
aim, however, of the government in
introducing this Bill—the necessity for
which was owing to the recent census
returns, on the basis of which the pres-
ent Bill is framed—was simply to eq-
ualize the representation in stich a
way as to render criticisru unnecessary
As the point was forcibly put by the
Minister of Public Works, the present
government needed no gerrymander
to continue them in power as the rep-
resentatives of the people's wishes and
to carry out the present popular policy
—and that so long as the Conservative
party was faithful in maintaining; a
policy which made light taxes, cheap
living and abundance of employment
while keeping on haud a surplus cf re
valmC instead of deficits, just so long
would the people give to the Conserve-
ves a lengthe,ne d lease of power.

A Great Sufferer from
yspepsia
Perfectly Cured by
Hood's Sarsaparilla
The best stomach tonics known to
medical science are so happily com-
bined in Hood's Sarsaparilla that it
cures Indigestion, and Dyspepsia in its
severest forms, when other medicines
fail. In many cases Hood's Sarsapa-
rilla seems to possess a magical touch,
so quick and so gratifying the relief.
Read the following from an aged and
respected citizen of St. Mary's, Ont.:
"I am very glad to give this testimonial as
to what Hood's Sarsaparilla has done for me.
I suffered Very much with dyspepsia. 1 have
been taking medicine
For 25 Years
and I never had anything do me as mum
good as Hood's sarsaparilla. Every symp-
tom of the dyspepsia has entirely disap-
peared and I feel that I cannot praise the
medicine too highly,
Eat Better, Sleep Better

years. I have taken six betties of Hoed's
Sarsaparilla bought of Mr. SandersOn, the
druggist." Joinr ArmtliS.

IT IS NOT WHAT WE SAY
But what Hood's Sarsaparilla does,that
makes it sell, and has given it such a
firm and lasting hold upon the confi-
dence of the people. The voluntary
statements of thousands of people prove
beyond question that this preparation
possesses wonderful medicinal merit.
