Vol. 20. No. 44, BRUSSELS,
The New Governor-General.
The announcement that has bean long
crpooted is now of0oinlly made, and the
Earl of Aberdeen bee been definitely
theme to suoceed the Earl of Derby at
Rideau Hall,
The Right Honorable John Campbell
Hamilton Gordon le the seventh Earl of
Aberdeen in the Peerage of Scotland, and
Visoonnb Gordon (by which title ho sits
in. the House of Lords) in the Poerage of
the United Kingdom, He is the grand.
eon of Lord Aberdeen, who wns Prime
Minister of Great. Britain wizen war tuns
declared against Russia in 1884. The
new Governor.General was born Ord
August, 1847, educated at College Hall,
in connection with the University of St.
Andrew's, and then proceeded to Univer-
sity College, Oxford, where he graduated
ill. A. in 1871. He suooeeded to the fam.
ily honors and estates on the death of bis
brother, in January, 1870, and entered
the Hpuse of Lords as a Conservative, in
accordance with the trabitione of his
family, but in the session of 1876 he dia.
agreed with some of the principal meas.
area of his party, and when the late
Earle of Derby and Carnarvon resigned
the offices, in 1878, owing to the "spirited
foreign policy" of Beaconsfield's Govern-
ment, Lord Aberdeen heartily supported
the views of these statesmen,
In the debate on the Afghan war—a
war whioh had been melle chiefly so that
India might have a "nulentific frontier—
, Lord Aberdeen voted againsb his party.
In 1876 he was a member, and subse•
gnently chairman of a Royal Commission
to enquire into the subject of railway no-
cidents, and in 1877.8 lie was a member
of the Committee of the House of Lords
an Intemperance.
In 1880 Mr. Gladstone again became
Prime Minister, and by this tithe Lord
Aberdeen was completely severed from
his former party ties, and idenbifled him-
self with the party whose watchwords are
"Peace, Reteenohmenb and Reform." He
was appointed Lord -Lieutenant of Aber-
deenshire, whore the family estates aro
situated. Being a staunch Presbyterian
be ems chosen by the (Mown to act as
High Commissioner to the General As-
sembly of the Church of Scotland, an
office that he held for the four sucoeoding
pears.
When the Salisbury Government met
Parliament at the opening of the session
of 1886, it sustained a defeat in the House
of Commons, and Mr. Gladstone was
sent for by the Queen, and suooeeded in
forming bis third ministry. The politic.
nl difficulties before the now Government
were neither few nor light, but Mr. Glad.
Mom soon gave evidence thathe.intended
to treat the all.absorbing Irish question
upon large and generous prinoiples. One
of his first acts was to appoint the Earl
of Aberdeen Lord Lieutenant of Ireland,
with the mission of carrying out the
Home Rule policy of the Government.
Apolicy, as Mr. Gladstone said, "of put.
ting au end to the controversy of 7.00
yegrs ; aye, and of knitting together by
honda firmer and higher in their charas.
ter than those which heretofore we have
mainly used, the hearts and affections of
this people and the noble fabric of the
British Empire," As Viceroy of Ireland,
Lord Aberdeen was immensely popular,
and on the fall of the Gladstone Cabinet
the scene of his "leaves -talking" is said
to have been such as load never been wit,
messed before, at least not since the de-
parture of Lord Fitzwilliam in 1795.
The Earl and Countess of Aberdeen's in.
serest in Irisb affairs is apparent from
the part they have taken in the forma-
tion of a model Irish village at the
World's Fair, Chicago. Lady Aberdeen

ger in Canada, having made a prolonged
stay in this country two years ago, when
be visited London, and opened the 'West-
ern Fair in 1891. He will be the first
Governor-General who has been a land-
owner in the Dominion, possessing, as- he
does, two large estates, one near Calgary
and the other in British Columbia. He
is a member of many religious and Phil-
anthropic societies, and contributed L1,.
000 towards General Booth's scheme for
alleviating distress. We have no doubt
;'abet Lord and Lady Aberdeen will be
..• welcomed by all Canadians without die.

Ab present druggists are permitted to
sell liquor, in quantities not exceeding six
ounces, to any one who simply says he is
unwell. This system Mr. Mackenzie
proposes to change by compelling each
person who desires to obtain liquor at a
drug store to procure a medical certificate
before doing so. The bill introduced by
,the member for Lambton to change the
law to this end should meet withthe ap.
proval of the Legislature. It is a most
undesirable thing to allow vendors of
drugs to carry on a practically unlimited
sale of whiskey, brandy and rum and this
is what the law as it stands does allow.
