Thirty-five beekeepers came forward, offering Iota varying, I understand, from sixty pounds to several tons ; tho total amount sent by these thirty -live persons being about forty tons. three tons of which were given in "tastes" t0 visitors; the remainder was sold Now, onoh of these thirty-five contributors obtained a medal and a diploma precisely similar to those Mr. Deachnen get Consequently you will obi, eve that the award was not made upon tho merits of tho honey, and every contributor obtained the same award. Wo know also that all the honey sent was not of a uniform quality. For iu41a1100, a person near Toronto sent buckwheat holey, yet this person obtained a medal and a diploma as dad the others. Your readers may look upon these awards, which were received by every eat:trib'•'r r in every department represented, in what ever light they will• but if I ant not mistaken this is a part of a popular plan of British sovereigns to create loyalty and obtain service by working upon the vanity of mankind iu granting them valueless tokens and empty titles of honor.

Dr. Macdonald spoke briefly, but strongly in favor of home Rule. lie said they need not go t nteido the border. of Canada to see a marvellous example of how the right of self-government made people contented, self-reliant and loyal to existing institutions. He dwelt briefly upon the change effected in Canada when constitutional government was granted, and oontendod that the same change would follow where the people wore trust- ed ea man. The most dtacontented of Canadians became loyal to Britain and its Sovereign when their rights were re- cognized. Tho Irish people would also become a part of the British people in sentiment and common purpose instead of, as now, discontented and ton much engaged in agitating for a roatoretion of their rights to engage heartily in promot- ing alts general prosperity. It had been said by the member for Muskoka (Mr. O'Brien) that the minority in Ireland would not euhmit to Gladetone's bill. Surely these men, who palled themselves the loyalists of Preland, were not rebels. They would not bake up arms against the will of the majority, Ho (Mandonald) did not believe it. He thought too well of the Protestants of Ireland to believe they would show such a spirit. They would show the sumo spirit of toleration and goodwill they had shown to the Par- liament of Ireland. It was a Protectant Government that emancipated Catholics before it was done b• the advance of Lib- eraliann in Britain. Cheers.) If the peo- ple of the two oreeds were brought to- gether they would learn to respect coda outer and have regard for each other's rights. Aoting together they would make Ireland what she ought to bo, a land of marvellous prosperity and progress. This would not come at once, fon it would re- quire time to howl old sores, to complete the convalescence after the true cure had been applied, but this would all come if only the people were transact. There was no need to fear that it would be a step to- ward disintegration. It would not lead to disintegration, but to enduring union,.
