OPINION OF THE PEOPLE.
Sir, the opinion of the people is un- doubtedly entitled to a respectful attention; it is to be listened to—to be canvassed, and, if sound and reasonable, to be de- ferred to ; but the clamor of the people is not to silence the deliberations of Parlia- ment, still less the opinion of a partial and very limited portion of that people ; still less an opinion founded on imperfect views ; still less an opinion founded upon gross prejudices, excited and kindled by artful and interested misrepresentation, and for the very purpose of preventing fair discus- sion.— W. C. Plunkett in debate on Claims, of Roman Catholics, in House of Commons, 25th February, 1813.

‘‘ Ts there anything you can cal] to mind in your private history or public life,” asked the shrewd attorney of his client, ‘* which you would shrink from having publicly dis- cussed?” ‘*No,” replied the would-be candidate, without hesitation; ‘* nothing whatever.” ‘‘ Is there anything in the life of your father which you would rather not have laid bare before the public eye?” ‘‘ Nothing that I am aware of,” replied the aspirant to the vacant seat, after hav- ing pondered over the question for a minute or two. ‘**Nor of your grand- father?’ inquired the agent. ** Nor of my grandfather, as far as 1 know,” replied the candidate. ‘‘ But what makes you ask these questions?’ ‘* Because,” the agent replied, ‘‘if there be any flaw in your family history within three generations an electoral contest will be sure to find it out and expose it without merey to public criticism.” Something akin to this is the fate of any public man who ventures into 4 court of law in search of a kidnapped repu- tation. The necessity for his appeal to a jury ought to be very urgent, and his case very clear indeed, to warrant his submis- sion toso fiery atest. If there be any- thing in his past proceedings which needs to be explained, he had __ better leave time and events to déclare it. It is very seldom that a traduced charactor obtains all the satisfaction it requires from a legal process undertaken for its repara- tion. This, or the other point of accusa- tion may be rebutted; but it is tolerably certain that more dirt will be thrown than the calumniated plaintiff will be able to wipe off.—London Illustrated News, April, 1872.

CONDUCT AND CHARACTER.

My public conduct and private character have been alike assailed. My public con- duct I consign to the justice of this House, my private character I leave to its honor. — W. C. Plunkett.
A SPEECH GAINING VOTES.
The most remarkable instance of gaining votes by a speech was Lord Macaulay’s speech on the late Lord Hotham’s bill for excluding the Master of the Rolls and other persons holding judicial offices from the House of Commons. On this occasion the anticipated decision of the House bya large majority was reversed. The late Sir Robert Peel told a member of the present Cabinet that the three speeches most effective for the proposed object which he had ever heard were Plunkett's speech (in 1813) on Catholic Emancipation ; Canuing’s Lisbon Embassy speech, and the speech of Mr. T. C. Smith (afterwards Master of the Rolls in Ireland) in defence of the Irish prosecutions instituted by him as Attorney- General for Ireland,—London Quarterly Review, January, 1871.
EXTRACT FROM FOX’S CELEBRATED SPEECH IN HOUSE OF COMMONS ON RESIGNATION OF OFFICE IN LORD NORTH'S COALITION MINIS- TRY IN 1783.
I did not come in by the fiat of Majesty, though by this fiat I am not unwilling to go out. Lever stood, and wish only and al- ways to stand on public ground. I have too much pride ever to owe anything to secret influence. I trust in God this coun- try has too much spirit not to spurn and punish the Minister that dves ! I arrogate no pomp, however, from the formality of resignation. My noble friend, I hope, thinks with me that the present is one of those singular junctures when it is necessary to act with caution as well as spirit. We are certainly agreed not to retain our places any longer than we can retain the dignity of Government with responsibility and effect, and to the constitutional mandate of dismission we are prepared to bow with humility and obedience. If, however, a change must take place, and anew Ministry

T. H. H. July 7th, 1888.
Rev. Robert Wilson, Ph. D. The St. John Progress of Saturday last contains a portrait and sketch of the life of Kev. Robert Wilson, pastor of Exmouth Church of that city, and ex-President of the N. B. and P. E. I. Methodist Confer- ence. Of Dr. Wilson the Progress says:—
‘‘ But few men can boast with Dr. Wilson of having been thus honored by their brethrer in the ministry and laity, and none can say he merited it more or filled the president's chair with greater credit to himself or the confer- ence.
“*St. John is not permitted to claim Dr. Wilson as a native. He isan old-countryman, and in Fert George, Scotland, first saw the light. Anyone who is at all acquainted with the reverend gentleman will not be surprised to learn that his father was a soldier, and a Highlander at that, a man who spent the best years of his life fighting his country’s battles and his declining day in the service of God,
‘*Robert was in his fifth year when his father came to Canada with his regiment, which helped to suppress the rebellion of 1837-38. Three years later, having obtained his discharge, he settled in Prince Edward Island and became a local preacher of the Methodist church. It was then in the “‘ tight little island” that Robert’s real Canadian life began. The best educational training that the Province could afford was his and he took such advantage of his opportunities that when he discontinued his regular studies he was fitted for and for a time followed the vocation of a teacher.
‘* At the age of 20, in 1853, Mr. Wilson entered the Methodist ministry, and since that date he has preached and worked in eleven different stations, including West Cape, (P. E. Island), Fairville, Kingston, (King's), Hopewell, St. Andrew's, Sheffield, Marysville, Gibson, Baie Verte, Salisbury and Exmouth Street Church (St. John). He has been chair- man of the St. John and Sackville districts, has occupied the position of Conference Secre- tary for five years, was first delegate to the general conference in Toronto in 1886, and for the past year was president of the New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island Confer- ence.
““Dr. Wilson is one of the ablest of the foremost preachers in his denomination, Every audience he has preached to has heard from him nothing but plain, vigorous gospel directed with forceful eloquence. In a recent conversation he said to the writer: ‘I gen- erally write a sermon a week, out in full, bus never take notes out of it into the pulpit. For fourteen years I have preached without notes and during the whole period of my min- istry, some 25 years, I have upon four occa- sions read my sermons. Preaching is a de- light to me; reading would be a drudgery. I think in the latter case what is gained in finish is lost in force. I like to preach a series of discourses, and indeed have done so frequently. 1 try to get variety into my ser- mons, and above all give the people an all- around gospel. Do I favor the retention of the itinerancy? Yes, but I would extend the
astoral term. I am a Methodist of the 3ritish, rather than of the American, school.” In politics Dr. Wilson is a staunch Conserva- tive.
Canada’s Minerals.
There is much activity at present in the mineral districts of Canada, and fresh dis- coveries of importance are being reported almost daily. The prospectors are «special- ly active in Algoma, on the north shore of Lake Superior. Work is being pushed with good results at tho Vermillion Copper mine and the Copper Cliff mine near Sud- bury. At.this last mine, the Algoma Advo- cate reports, native gold has been discovered in large quantities and many gold-bearing quartz reefs are been found in that region. One particularly important recent discov- ery of this nature is close to Thessalon. The whole district is described as being ina state of excitement, and there is constant demand for a practical assayist, who would have his hands full. In the Maritime Pro- vinces also the minerals are being develop- ed. Gold mining is being vigorously con- ducted and the returns are unusually large. But in Nova Scotia the coal mines are more important than the gold, and from them the same activity is reported. At the Albion mines the Acadia Coal Company is opening new slopes with good results, and at the Drummond mines they are looking for alarge output this season, their ship- ment in one day recently having been 1,100 tons. The discovery of new seams is re- ported from several localities. The North. west Territories have the same story to tell, fresh fields of coal of great value and wide- ly distributed. The dwellers on our prairies are evidently not at a loss for fuel. The Lethbridge mines, the Souris mines and others are all producing increased quantities of coal. An important discovery of petroleum has also been reported in the Riding Mountain district. British Colum- bia is an old mining country, and there they are pushing on the old mines, opening new ones and making fresh discoveries. Among the most important of the recent finds are rich galena veins in the Lamark mines at Ille cille-waet. A fresh interest in mining seems to be springing up in the Dominion from one end to the other, and additional proofs are constantly being afforded of the richness of the mineral re- sources possessed by Canada. —The Empire.

The Manufacturers’ Life and Acci- dent Insurance.
Mr. J. B. Paton, _ agent, intends spending the first week of July in Charlotte- town. The numerous parties applying for local agencies on the Island, and parties desir- ing either Life or Accident insurance Ou & liberal basis and easy terms, will do well to call on him at the Hotel Davies, or address him there. :
These companies, both Life and Accident, have met with most unprecedented success everywhere, taking the lead of all others from Vancouver to Halifax.
