In a. tcstanront before the Senate
Committee, err Relations with Canada,
Ir. E. lv. Glen, for a tune a Reform'
member of the House of Commons, now
,; citizen of the United. States; who was
e arnined after Mr. SViinan, said the
Etter gentleman's object in pushing
his commercial union scheme was for
the purpose of "booming his invest-
ments." This is a matter of Mr. Glen
sand Mr. Wiman to fight out among
themselves. Mr, Glen advocates polit
Sal nnion,,and in the course of his ev-
idence he had the unblushing audacity
wosay that in a very short time Canada
would go to the United States and sue
to be annexed;that feeling infavor of the
change was growing in the Dominion;
and that if he was to appeal to his
former constituents in South Ontario
he could be elected on the annexation
platform. Mr. Glen never made more
inwarranted statements, and his un-
dertaking to represent the feeling of
the people of Canada as being favor-
able to the wiping of their country out
4..if political existence is a piece of braz-
en faced impertinence; But the genuine
sentiment of the people of the Domin-
son is too well understood in the Unit-
ed States to allow of our neighbors put-
ting faith in Mr. Glen's representations.
Canadians take considerable pride in
their country; they are not ignorant
of its history, nor forgetful of the past;
and about the last thing they think
or doing is to pray to be admitted as
part and parcel of the Republic. For
She great nation to the south they en-
tertain only feelings of goodwill, and
for its citizens only genuine friendship;
bat they think too much of their own
eonntry to go down on their knees and
ask the government of the United
States to absord it,and place them un-
der the protection of the Stars and
Stripes.
SEVENTY FIVE.
Sir John MacDonald was 75 year old
on Saturday. He was born at G-las-
gnw, Scotland, on the 11th January,
1815. Notwithstanding his advanced
age remains "hole and hearty," daily
attending to the onerous duties of
Premie rslripe and administrating one
of the most important of public depart-
ments—that of the Railways and Can-
als The "alacrity of spirit and the
sheer of mind" which has been char-
acteristic of his nature are noteworthy
features of his character. The advan-
ce of years has not in the slightest de-
g ree interfered with the go nieality of
his disposition, nor preceptibly affected
his memtal activity. Few public men,
in any other country, lead a more act-
ive life than Sir John' Macdonald,so far
as devotion to the duties imposed upon
•
him in his exalted position are concern-
ed. His capacity for work, is extraor,
Binary, and we question if there ever
was a time in his long political exper-
ience when he was more devoted to
official labour than he is to -day, when
he enters upon his seventy-sixth year,
"ew'modern statesmen have hada long-
er or more successful public career
than the veteran Premier of Canada,
i+nd certainly not one among them all
las a stronger hold upon the affections
of his fellow -countrymen.
Sir John Macdonald entered public
I.ifein Canada at an important period of
the history of the country—in 1844,
three years after the union of Upper
and Lower Canada. In that year he
was elected to the Legislative Assemb-
ly of Canada for the City of Kingston,
and he continued to represent it in
that body: until 1867, when Confedd.
motion took place, and he was elected
by the people of Kingston as their re-
presentative in the House of Commons,
where he sat in that capacity until
1878, when he was defeated. Many
newly elected members offered to re-
sign in Sir John's favour. He was
elected by acclamation for Marquette,
t3Ta:nitobae, but resigned 'upon accept-
ance of the position of Minister of the
;interior after the defeat of the Mack-
enzie
ackenzie Government, the result of its ap-
peal to the country in the year last
:mentioned. Ile was elected for Vict-
oria, ll. C;, and, represented that con-
istitueney until the dissolution of Par-
liement in 1882, when ho was elected
;%r both Lennox. and Carleton Counties.
:ale decided to sit for Carleton. At the
st general election—iii 1887- l in -
tteirredeemed itself by re-electing Sir
John. and at the same he was re elected'
fatearleton. fle decided to sit for
Atiligaton, and represents" that eonstit-
uenel' in the present Parliament.
Sir John had only been three years
In tine Legislative Assembly of Canada
when ire because n member of the l?
ccutive Cou;noil of Canada.. From 1847.
to 1858 he held ni succession the follow-
ing positions:_ Receiver"Genezal, Com-
missioner of Crown ,Liinds and Attor-
ney -General for Upper Canada. He
was Prime Minister in July, 1858,
when his Administration, resigned on
the seat of government question. The
following; month. Ire was again in office,
first as Postmaster -General, for a sin-
gle day, and afterwards as Attorney -
General. He held the latter position
until the defeat of the Government, in
May, 1862, on the Militia Bill, and the
resignation of Ministers followed. In
March, 1864, the Tache -Macdonald
(John A.) Government succeeded the
Macdonald (John Sandfleld) Dorion
Government, when Sir John again
took his former position of Attorney
General, and was leader of the Govern-
ment in the House of Assembly. He
remained Attorney -General until Con-
federation, in 1867, when he became
Prime Minister and Minister of Justice.
The Government resigned in Novem-
ber, 1573, as the outgrowth of the "Pa.
cific Scandal" business, and the Liber.
ars took office, with Mr Mackenzie as
leader of the Government. The organs
of the Government predicted that the
party would remain in power for, at
]east twenty years, and that if the Tor-
ies'should again be `successful, one
thing was certain: Sir John Macdonald
was politically dead, beyond the hope
of resurrection. But five years of "Re-
form"—they called themselves ',Re-
formers" in those days -rule proved
sufficient for the people, and when the
Government appealed to the country
it was overwhelmingly defeated. Sir
John Macdonald was restored to power,
and from that time—October,1878—to
the present he has been leader of the
Government, and he has held the foll-
owing positions: Minister of the Interior,
President of the Privy Council, and
recently , after acting for some time
after the death of the lamented Hon.
John Henry Pope, he assumed the dut-
ies ofIMinister of Railways and Canals.
During his public life Sir John has
been the recipient of numerous honors,
D. C. L: from the University at Oxford,
in 1865;LL. D. from the McGill Um
versity Montreal; L. L.D. from Queens
University, Kingston; D. C. L. from
TrinityUniversity, Toronto; K. C. B.
(Knight commander of the bath) from
Her Majesty in 1S67; G. C. B. (Grand
cross of the order of the bath) in 1884;
Knight grandcross of the Royal Order
of Isaballa Catolica (of Spain) in 1872;
a member of HerMajesty's PrivyCoun-
cil in the same year, and in August
1879, he 'was sworn it and took his seat
at the Council Board, he being than on
a visit to England on business. Highly
as Sir John appreciates these honors,
we have no doubt that dearer to him
than all is the fact that he enjoys the
political confidence and the warm afiect-
tion of the great majority of the peo-
ple of Canada.
Sir John has lived to see the country
make wonderful strides. A few Scat-
tered provinces have been united into
a Dominion, extending from' ocean to
ocean. The aim of his public career
since Ccn"ederation has been to cement
the,bond which binds them together,'.
an to promote unity of sentiment and
of aim among the people. Everything
tending to keep the various classes of
the people apart has been discouraged
by him: everything that has had the
effect of bringing them closer together
has had his zealous support and warm-
est sympathies. Under the administra_
tion of its'affairs by the Government
the Dominion has made marked pro-
gress, and never in its past history
was its position stronger or the out-
look brighter than to -day. From Vic-
toria to Halifax thousands of prayers
will ascend to•daythat Sir John Mad -
Donald may long be spared to serve
his countrjr,connected with whose his-
tory and advancement his name is so
prominently identified.
