CANADA AND LAURIER.
Ib is doubtful if anything has over °o -
emend to present the Dominion of Can•
oda in so favorable a light before the
world as the recent Jubilee celebration
in England. The press of the Old Land
hue very generously awarded the palm to
Cantle when the question of preem-
inence among the colonies was the subject
under discussion.
No gentleman was better qualified to
represent this groat Dominion than our
worthy Premier, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and
that he won laurels for himself and his
country is not gainsayed and we believe
his reception and addresses will prove ae
source of great profit to the laud of the
Maple Leaf.
To prove the correctness of our state•
meats we reproduce a few selections from
newspapers published across the sea, tho
hest being from the London Times, of
June 28th. Hero is what it says
Not the leasb significant and interest.
ing of the many functions that have to
make up the commemoration of Her Ma-
jesty's sixty year's' reigu is the
celebration of Dominion Day in the
metropolis of the Empire. It is the anni-
versary of rho birth of a new nation, of
that Canada on which all Englishman
look with esteem and affection, and from
which the Mother Country fooeivss an
equal tribute of enthusiastic) loyality.
Stir Wilfrid Laurier gave eloquen expres-
sion to the blended sen timonts of proud in-
dependence and willing adhesion to the
Empire which these thirty years of nation-
al existence have brought to the vigour
they display to -day. To Canada. as is
fitting awl right, he gives the foremost
j,lace'in his affections, but it is just be.
0anse of bar paramount place that he
loves to regard her as an integral part of
a world-wide Empire in whioh site en-
joys all rho independence and all the power
that are possible fn any oiroumstances,
while in addition site has a prestige and
a security which site could not to any
other oironmetauees attain. By virtue
of the event oommetnoratod yesterday
Canada holds a unique position' in the
Imperial system. She has shown the
way in the path of confederation, and
stands a perpetual object -lesson to
colonies whish have nob yet translated
aspiration into accomplished fact. Um-
pire -making is not process thee eau be
hurried. The foundations must be
deeply laid upon eulighbensd and deliber-
ate aousent if the work is to endure.
House there is no desire to press in any
quarter for premature solutions of the
problem before es. At the same time,
this Jubilee must st be felt by all to be an
invaluable stimulus, the effect of which
ought to become apparont ab no remote
period in extension of the great work
successfully carried out in Canada. If
there ought to be no halting, so there
ought to bo no resting until the different
groups of geographically connected
colonies have formed themselves auto
units capable of playing au effective part
in rho Aual confederation whioh wo all
adumbrate, although none of us can yet
say with what form and fashion it will
comp, There is at least no reason to
doubt of the ultimate overcoming of all
obstaolos whoa we consider how in
Canada persistent differences of rase,
language, religion, and traditions have
been found to oppose no real bar to com-
plete internal tune and peered external
loyalty.

land, it paper with a ciroulatlon of ab
leach 250,000, has this to say of Mr.
Laurier in a town issue : "For mashy

tnior, will engage the chief attention

He stands for the union of two races not

ed happy."
Referring to the part Laken by the
colonies in the Queen's j ebileo celebration,
n Paris journal says '—"Iu that pane•
ramie view of the British colonial world
ill the streets of Loudon, following the
Queen, and standing within the rays of
the throne, Canada occupied the first
plane, and it may bo said that the ether
colonies were as if blended with Canada.
In fact, why not say it, since everybody
thinks so, in that memorable pageant
Canada represented the colonial world,
and if tomorrow any one should propose
to extend the name of "Canada" only to
the whole of the widely spread empire,
nobody would feel eurprisecl. The rank
given Canada in that apotheosis imposed
on its representative responsibilities that
would have cast down any other man
than Mr. Laurier. however, ho played
his part with a distinction and good grace
that won for flim the approbation of all,
and his personal prestige is now as great
in England as in Canada."
How East Huron Looks to
Outsiders.
In speaking of the nomination of
County Councillor Mooney as standard
bearer of the Conservative party in East
Huron for biro Local Legislature, in the
next election, the County press bas the
following to say :—
Iu selecting Mr. Mooney, of Morris, as
their maiden for East Heron, the Con-
servatives have put a strong man in the
held. He has been in public life for a
number of years, being 1lsove of the town-
ship, and is at present a County Coun.
oilier. His personal record is irreproach-
able, and while be is not as fluent a
speaker as his opponent, Mr. Hislop, he
is oble to take caro of himself. The fight
will, therefore, be between two men /ergs-
ly equal itt their personality, and while
we are nob very doubtful about the re-
sult, our Liberal friends will have to
work bard to hold the riding.—Clinton
New -Era,
Henry Mooney, of Morris township,
has been selected to contest East Huron
in the Conservative interest. He is a
member of the Huron District Commit
and will bo the opponent of his fellow.
representative from bhp same County
district, Archie Hislop, of Grey township.
Hislop and Mooney were elected to the
County Council byacolamation, as run-
ning mates, last Jannary, and after hav-
ing fought side by side at the Council
Board in January mud June, are now to
look horns on Legislative questions. Mr.
Mooney is not the strongest Conservative
who might have been nominated, as he
cannot receive a united Conservative sup-
port, but he is sufficiently strong to put
the Liberals to work in earnest, if they
want to got within two or three hundred
of their olcl-tune majority.—Gotlerich
Signal.
Mr. Mooney is a progressive farmer of
Morris township, and bas been Reeve of
Morris for the past ben years. He is a
County Councillor, an Orangeman and a
prominent member of the Brussels
Methodist church.—Atwood Bee.

celebrated its Silver Anniversary last
week. Editor Kerr, who is known to
have a pay eteealc of humor running
through him, soliloquises thus :—"Ac-
cording to an old custom this is our Silver
Anniversary, and thoreforo we will be
ggreatly pleated to receive donations of

handy, to square up every accent on

the world is likely to come 50 1898, so wo
give timely warning to all who are in ar-
rears if bhoy expect to be happy in the

paper, and its editor's head is level, never
having been known to take anything
stronger than ginger ale and lemon sone.
