GONE TO HIS REWARD
DEATH OF HON. ALEXA.NDEB.
MACKENZIE.
AFTER a protracted illness of many
weeks Hon. Alexander Mackenzie, M.
P. for East York, and ex -Premier of
the Dotninon of Canada, died at his
residence, Toronto, on Sunday last.
The venerable statesman had been in
very feeble health nearey all through
winter as the result of a fall which he
sustained early in February, though
his condition did not become serious
till about Six weeks ago. Do ring those
six weeks. a desperate contest between
life and death wag sustained., with
wonderful vitality, and it was marvel-
ous that the end was deferred so long.
Only a constitution of iron preserved
loY a life of regularity couldhave given
to any man such tenacity of life.
Fran) the beginning of his long illness
the condition of the illustrious patient
was hopeless, for although at times
he relied the improvement was never at
any time sufficient to warrant hope of
. •
permanant recovery.
The Hen. Alex. Mackenzie was the -
third son of,the late Alex. Mackenzie,
of Logierait, Perthshire, 'Scotland, by
Mary, seconddaug,hter of Mr. Donald
Fleming, of the sane parish... The
family came to Canada in 1842.. Mr.
Mackenie was one of seven sons, and
was torn near Dunkeld, Perthshire,
28th January,. 1822. He was mar-
ried twice, hia first wife being Helen,
daughter of the late Mr. Neill, of
Irvine, Scotland (she died 2/4., 1852)
and his second Jane, eldest ,daughter
of the late ,Mr: •Robert Sym, of Perth-
shire, Scotland, to whom he was mar-
ried on the 17th June,. 18531 She
survives him, and. to her Mr.:Macken-
zie owed much. -She was a tower of
strength to him, both while in office
and in oppssition. Much :has: .been
aid ab'eut Mrs. Gladstone's assistance
o the Grand Old Man, but as match
an be said about the manner in. which
Mrs.' Mackenzie helpedher distin-
uished husband to fulfil his public
duties. In. prosperity she discharged
er duties at the capital with grace
nd dignity, making many friends.
n sickness and adversity she has been
. ministering angel to him. Mr. Mac-
enzie was two years younger , than
friend Mr. Mowat, and seven years
ounger, than his rival, Sir John. His
arents had neither poverty nor rich -
s, but they and their connections had
vhat was •better than either. They
ad brain -power, intelligence, untiti,,
ng industry, ;sterling • integrity, and
n honorable ambition to rise in the
vorld. Along with these good quail-
ies they had a strong liking for Whig
olitics: Alexander was the third
on in a large family. His school
ays were few. .Two yearsin a private
chool in Perth ; two ..more in the
arish :school of Moulin, less than a
ear in the grammar school of Dun-
eld, and the education of the
uture Premier of Canada was then
nished so far as the scholarship was
oricerned. At the early age of 14
is. father died, and, like many
nother brave Scotch lad who has
ade his mark in the world, young
lackenzie began to earn his bread on
ie old.Eden principle—by the sweat
f his layaw.• Like Hugh Millerh
, e
arned the trade of a stonemason,
id like Huillt Miller he was fond of
ading. His spare hours were all
ent in diligent study, and the
abits then formed clung to him all
(lays.
He first entered parliament in 1861
a member for Lambton and -repre-
nted that constituency in the OMR-
an Assembly until the Confederation.
1 1867 he was returned totlw
ominionParliament, and concurrent -
represented -West Middlesex in the
ntario Legislature during the years
1871-72, holding the office first of
savincial Seceetary, and afterwards
Provincial Treasurer. In October.
92, he retired with Mr, 131ake for

declined a_ seat in the Canadian
Cabinet on the occasion of the retire-
ment of Mr. Brown in 1865, and was
leader of the Ontario Reform OPposi-
tion in the House of Commons from
the Union until, 1873, when he was
eleeted leader of the whole opposition
party, and continued in that position
until Nov. 5, 1873, when, owing to the
resignation of Sir John Macdonald, he
was called on to form a new adminis
tration, a duty he succeeded. in ac-
complishing two days later, accepting
the office of Premier and Minister of
Public Works, which he held until he,
resigned, with the other members of
the ministry, October, 1878. In the
year 187,5 he visited the Mother
Country, where he was presented. with
the freedom of the Scottish towns of
Irvine, liundee and Perth; and visited
her-. Majesty at Windsor Castle.
During a second visit to Scotland or
his health,. 1881, he was. presented
with* the freedom of Inverness. He
sat for East York-, his late seat in the
Canadian Assembly, fro% 186_1_,until
the union; was returned to the Corn -
mons at the general election in 1867
and at general elections in 1872; again
at general 'elections, 1874; re-elected
by acclaination on his appointment to
office, and again at -general. election,
1878 ; elected for East York at
general elactions 1882, 1887 and 1891.
Several important measures owe
their existence to Mr. Mackenzie as a
priltate member, viz. : the Act amend-
ing the Assessment Act of Upper
Canada (1863).; that consolidating and
amending the Acts relating to the
assesSment, of propertY, Upper Canada
(1866) ; and the highly useful measure
for providing means of egress from
public buildings (1886). As Chair-
man of Committee, on Municipal and
'Assessment Laws (1886) he wrote and
framed the greater part of the Genera)
Act on Municipal Corporation, etc.
All the measures of his government,
including the enactment of a stringent
'electionlaw, with the 'trial of election
petitions by judges and vote by ballot;
the abolition Of the real estate quali-
fications of members; the, better ad-
ministration of penitentiaries'; the
enactment of the marine telegraph
law, which virtually abolished the
monopoly of the Cable Company; the
establishment of a Dominion .Military
College, and improvement of the
militia . system.; the enlargementof
the canals; the permanent organiza-
tion of th civil service; the establish-
ment of a Supreme Court for the
Dominion; the reduction of 'postage
to and from the United States; the
free delivery of postal matter in cities
and towns; the opening of direct mail
ornmunication with the West.Indies ;
the construction of a tran-dontinental
telegraph line; the better administra-
tion of government railways.; an im-
proved copyright law; the adoption. of
afinal route for the Pacific Railway;
the opening of negotiations, conducted
on our behalf by our delegate in per -
Son, between Canada and the United
States for the establishment of a
territorial govermnent for the North-
West, have all been more or 'less
tnoulcled and directed by him.
In addition, two very important
questions, which for.some time agitated
the public mind and threatened the
gravest complications—the Manitoba
amnesty and the new Brunswick
school questions—were satisfactorily
adjusted during Mr. Mackenzie's
administration.
A 'Liberal in politics, he always
held , the principle of the universal
brotherhood of man, no matter in
what rank of life be may have had his
origin. He was to the last a firm
believer in the extinction of all class
legislation that tends to promote any
hody of men, or •class of men, for the
incre fact of their belonging, to a body
or class, to a higher position politically
han any other class in the country.
While an .earnest advocate and up-
holder of the present connection with
the Mother Country he always en-
deavored to maintain Canadian' rights
Ind to bring Canada into prominence
in. the -eyes of the world. His devo-
tion to. his -departm 11-, hist mast n
labor laid the foundation of the
nervous disorder which for some time
Tavfmrs-rertigileITTM
engage in active. work. He was a
y
1.441.41.4te5.4111, 'Mg.! ,e,ta....1
most forciblepublic speaker and in
Parliament a great debater. ,As a
great party leader he is .entitledto a.
place in -the first rank.
Neither in private life nor in con-
nection with his public duties did the
breath of scandal, or even of suspicion,
ever blow upon the fair name- of
.1exanclei. Mackenzie. A strong rug-
ged inan when he became Prrmier of
Canada, ere his short term was ended
he was broken down by his.foo intense
devotion to the 'service of his country.
His unbending firmness was shown
when he refused, prior to 1878, to
yield to•the strong pressure put upon
hint by his own followers tO readjust
the tariff, and by yielding to which
lie might have retained power to the
present time. Whether he was right
or wrong in the course then taken it
is needless to discuss now; but it is
impossible to refuse respect to the
stern courage with which Mackenzie
held by wkait he at all events' conceived,
to be a. right principle, even at , the
ostof..office,--emolinnente:-ariel -- power.
In these days of corrtiption, when the
air of public life reeks with scandal,
and when: so ,many are , seeking ad-
vacement by intrigue rather than
honest industry, the example set by
the man who was Once Premier of
Canada can be held up ahnost as an
ideal one for the youth' of the country
to emulate. By plodding industry
he raised himself from the bottom to
the top of the ladder, , vvealth he dicl.
uot acquire, and power he held only
for a short time; but. he has left to
his country the stainless record of
one of her. Most distinguished sans,
and has -transmitted to her children
the good name that is one of the most
precious of earthly possessions.
