Through all these years, 'there-•

the average parliamentary life of a

highly merited. This is particu-

Sir Wilfrid Laurier's cabinet of;
1896 was a great administration. It
onta'ned men wh• ) had already be-
ome distinguished in Canada,
robably the chief of these in
hose day were Hee J. • Israel

st men, and Hon. Andrew G. Blair,
ne of the beat publle men Canada
s had. Both of them had to re-
n from the the ministry becau' e .:

in a broad view of the matter;
