A Patriotic Speech.

Weclip from the Senate Hansard the

following report of Hon. G. W. Howlan’s

! ial speech in respect to the recent ministeri

changes, and commend it to readers of THE

EXAMINER :

““] do not agree, and never have agreed, with the sentiment “that the Government ot Canada should be represented by seetions. ] think it is about time that we got away from that idea. The Government ot Canada should be chosen by the Premier from the ab est o his supporters, having due regard and paying all desereuce and respect to the people who support that Government, The lesson yt by the late departed statesman was & gran aud noble sectiment of patriotism, spart from what may be called parish politics. le was to weld the people of Canada into « solid + hole, aud govern the Dominion tor the benefit ol one people. That leasou will he taken up by the gentleman who is now filling the pes‘tion of Premier so worthily. He was & stu- deat in the same school, and imbibed the sentiments and views enunciated duriog the last tweaty-iive years by his yrest leader since the birth of Confederation. 1 hope that the Liberal-Conservative party will benefit by the lessou they have been taught by thei eveat leader, aud that it will not be lost on the Government of the day—that they will be able to sow a united front in dealing with all questions which concern the welfare ol Canada, and that they will gaard the heritage which the Right Hon. Sic Jobo A. Macdonald bequeathed to us. He died in the harness, as it were, and left us a united country, and he hea left us also the exump'e ot his life-a | fe devoted to promoting the welfare of the Do wninion. It will not be loat either by those of us who are svon to pass away, or by th» gen. erations which are to followus. White huired men, like myself, who knew and lov ed our great leader, cannot forget the great services he yendered to the country, his tact and pa- tience and courtesy, and with ail due respect tu those he has lett behind in the rublis lite of thie country, many generations will tise and pass away before Canada wil! se another Sir John Macdonald to guide its destinies. but | hope that the lesson he has taught us will be thoroughly learned by the younger men, and that they will share the broad and generous sentiments which auimated him, and which made Sir John Maedonald’s death as mue> moursed ip the halls of St. Stephens as throughout the Dominion, The hon. gentle- wan who has assumed the task of forming a vew Government will have the satisfaction vf knowing that so long as he pursues the saine wise and moderate course, as long as he fellows in the tootsteps of his illustrious pre- decessor, he will have no reason to fear that a majority of the people of Canada will fvith- tully adhere to his administration, ahd he may take for his motto: ‘Justice to all, malice towards none.’ ”

————-—— o-e-e — ——_-— — One of the biographers of Sir Robert Peel says: ‘*Models of statesmanship are rare, if bya model of statesmanship is meant # great administrater and party leader, a great philosopher and a grew in- dependent orator all in one. But if the question is, whether he was a ruler loved wid trusted by the English people, there is no arguing against the tears of a nation.” ‘These last words are, as the Montreal Gaz- ette remarks, peculiarly applicable to the attitude of the Dominion towards Sir John Macdonald. ‘‘There is no arguing against the tears of a nation.”’

The Silken Tie.

The nuptials of Mr. G. Frank Beer, of jeer Bros., and Miss Annie Weeks, youngest daughter of William Weeks, Kag., were celebrated in the Methodist Heick Courch at an early hour this morn- ing im the presence of a large and ipterest- el congregation. Th: church was taste- tally decorated, and, altogether, the cere- uuny was of the finest of its kind, the beautiful bride, in a tasteful travelling suit of mavy blue, being the eynosure of all eyes. Rev. Mr. Read made ‘“‘the silken tie,” and Professor Earle presided at the organ. Needless to say, the music was appropriate and excellent. Mr. and Mis. seer left by the mail express for Summer- side, thence to Montreal, and thence to Pogland. THe Examiner offers its con- ytatuiations and wishes the popular and happy couple health, wealth and happiness, and length of life.

The presents to the bride were numerous and yaluable, ‘including a handsome and costly piece of plate from the clerks of Messrs. Beer Bros.’ establishment.
