A GREAT CELEBRATION.

lt is a far call backward to the

days when Alfred the Great and Good ruled the West Saxons. Indeed it is almost ten centuries since Alfred died. That event and the close of his thirty years reign took place in Ocober 901. He was still compara- tively a. young king, somewhat the junior ot' our own Prince of Wales, when his career was ended. And now they are making ready’ in England s. greatcelebration for the one thousand th anniversary of Alfred’s death. The nation’s grateful memory will find ex- pression in a. mannment of a. dignity and grandeur befitting the great man whose name has been a. household word in the land for ten centuries. ' Milton and Shakespeare belong al- most to our own times compared with Alfred. Columbus dates back not half the distance which separates ug from the Saxon King. Chaucer lived and sung live hundred years gimp Alfred was on the throne. And yet the language of Chaucer is almost un-

intolligible to English renders now. The mention of these names

ltl'v6l£0lid\l8inl.~mental`megggrg. ment the vastintcrvnl thathas clnpcsd amco the days of King Alfred. Few, even of the greatest cm hope to be so long and lovingly remembg;-gd,

British subjects have been of lute

loyally engaged in celebrating the birthday of our noble Queen, whose rclgn has been the longest in B;-irish history, whose sway hug been gh, widest and most benoiicent in the long line of British monarchs. Happy is the kingdom that had such a. f0Illld8tloA1fredsnd has today, a thousand years later, so good g Queen as Victoria. In the interim what marvellous changes have been wrought in Britain and the world, “what mighty shocks have bufeted mankind,” and yet, there is some analogy between the two English sov- erelgns so widely separated by lapse of centuries. Honest, practical, truthloving, white-souled and sincere was Alfred, loving his people `snd greatly beloved by them. In all these homely virtues and attainmenfs Queen Victoriais a fitting antitype of Alfred.

Alfred foresaw that if his kingdom

He ruled in righteous. nessnndleft it on record that an English king could rule without a stain. His noble example has not been without imitators in the royal lmeandhubecnarichlsgscytodm people. It is well for the lltiilon £0 build his monument and oolcbrnto his fnme a thousand years aftu' his death.

THE GEORGIAN BAY CANAL.

Canada. has =pent ovf-r sixty n1il~

lions of dollars in the construction of canals and is now asked to build an- other \\'l1ic`n, when built, will render all lhe others useless for through imiiir-_ We refer to the propcsed Georgian BayCanal, as it is called, but which might better be culled the Ottawa. Canal. Inbrief it is a. pro- posal to deepen and render the Ot- tawa. river navigable in its upper waters, surmount its cascades and rapids ty locks and so open a. navig- able channel from Montreal up to the Upper Lakes. The cst is estimated at $25,000,000 English capital stands ready -to con- struct it, the promoters say, if only Canada will guarantee a goodly portion of the interrst. ln that care the pr0~ rnctcrs would be liappy, quite regard- less of how the taxpayers might fe#-l. But great things are pgedicted of the projected cu.n;;l. ltlwould shorten the water route and carriage between Iii” Lipper Lakes ard tide water by some hundreds of miles. It would propf. r- tionately reduce the cost of trlnspor- tation-and as we said beforeit would iender the Welland and St. Lawrence Canals of little use and reduce their revenues to nothing.

There is not much in this new

canal scheme for Prince Edward Island, but that will not prevent its being undertaken. Great is the power of the men with a. captivating scheme and millions of capital subscribed. Constituencies like to have hundreds of thousands spent in their midst and members of parliament will vote for what their constituents want. Vfhen it is dr ne the Maritime Provinces and British Columbia can file new claims

for better terms to even matters up financially.
