denee will be the locality for the University, but any one can substi- tute the name of whatever town he likes better without affecting the principle of this plan. There would then be at Windsor (or elsewhere) King’s and Dalheusie colleges, where students who wished to * live at col

lege’ would reside. But these colleges would confine themselves to their proper functions of aiding in the development of

character by the discipline of the common life, and by proper supervision over the younger members by their elders, and of providing direct religious instruction and influences for their own members. King’s, at all events, would provide these last for its members. Dalhousie would or would not as its own governing body might see fit. There would also be a hali for lectures which stedents from both the colleges would attend ; where lectures on all subjects (ex- cept theology) would be yiven by professors who would be officers of the university, not of the colleges. Theology would be the only subject which the colleges would teach, and for that purpose each college would have its own theological lecturer or tutor appointed by the denomination to which the college belonged. Or any par

ticular college might decline to give theo- logical teaching at all. Each college would decide that for itself. Thus the present

college life would in no way be interfered with. The president of King’s would then, as now, bea clergyman of the Church of England ; then, as now, lay and divinity students of the Church of England would receive their education together ; the daily and weekly chapel services would continue as now; divinity lectures would be as now: both lay and divinity students of King’s would in the UNIVERSITY LECTURE ROOMS sit side by side with the Dalhousie sindents, and | believe that both would be benefited by this association and compeii tion.

PROFESSOR SHELDON says :—‘‘I feel con- vineed mysel’ that these provinces (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and P. E.

Up to the present little or nothing has been done in that direction, This is a great advertising age ; advertising is one of the most powerful levers that can be employed to help forward any eaterprise. That remark applics quite as much to countries es to business andertak ings, and especially to countries, like Canada, which are anxious to get as many emigrants as possible. ‘Therefore it seems to

SIR J. A. MACDONALD

b y

Banqueted the ismpire Clup. CLOSER UNION OF THE BMPIRE DISCUSSED PY LEADING *LATESMEN ( Li ndaorw Standard, Vor th. )

\ complimentary dinner was given last evening, at the Empire Club, to Sic John Macdonald, Prime Minister of Canada The chair was occupied by the Marquis of Lorne, on whose right sat the guest of the evening, and on his left the Marquis of Salisbury. Upwards of eighty noblemen and gentlemen were present. In proposing the loyal toasts the chairman hat he had from the Wales a letter expressing the regret of His Royal Hi vbness that he was not able to be present old friend, Sir

rece ived

todo honor to his J. Macdonald.

The chairman, in proposing the toast of the evening, ‘our guest,’ said it was to him a great pleasure, as well as‘a great honor, to wish health and long life to Sir J. Mac- donald, Prime Minister of the Dominion of Canada. (Applavse ) The toast was drank with much enthusiasm

Sir John Macdonald, in responding, said hat great as was the compliment now paid to himself he felt ita cre vter honor to have served under the Marquis of Lorne, as Governor-General of Canada, had acted wisely and well,and whose services had met with general acceptance in the Dominion. (Applause.) This personal compliment to himself also implied that in the opinion of English statesmen, Canada was an iunport ant portion of the British empire. (Ap jiause). The changes which had come over Canada since he first entered it forty years were soremarkable that it seemed a country altogether. In 1844, there was anarchy and armed a private soldier carried a musket in defence of the British crown. (Applause) \t one time it seemed that the country was to become a prey to dissensions,di:cord and ruin; but happily coneord had been re- were formerly

who,

red, the races whick

drawn up in hostile array against each | other, were new marching side by side in a |

united attempt to make Canadaa great country. (App'ause. ) The Dominion

owed its present constitulion to the preced- ent set by British statesman and English coustitntional law. (Applause.) He be- lieved that the majority of the people, besides entertaining a strong sentiment of loyalty, had the well grounded opinion that the best interests, political, moral, and ma- terial, were involved in continuing the con- nection of the Dominion with the mother country. For his own part he was a British subject, and a British subject he would die. That sentiment had carried him into power, and had kept him in power (applause ) The constitution of Canada had the advantage of being free from the failings and mistakes of the American constitution, which culminated in war Under its present system of government Canada was prosperous, and afforded a field for enterprise and capital not exceeded elsewhere (applause.) As to the question of Imperial Federation, his own belief was that such a scheme would not involve loss to the cvionies. In any case, Canada would remaia attached to the mother country of her own choice. As the popu- lation was approaching in number to that of England, it was most expedient that there should be a more intimate con- nection in the commercial relations between the two countries, and a common system of offence and defence (applause). Until he had heard all sides of the question, he should reserve the final expression of his own view; but, so far as he could see at present, England would never agree that the Parliament at Wertminster, which had existed for many centuries, should bea secondary body to some Imperial legisla- ture. The attempt would be hopeless to add to the House of Commons representa- tives from ail the colonies. The House of Commons had work enough to do even now, without any such increase of its duties. In case of war he had no fear as to the mother country. They would feel the insult to the English flag to be theirs, and would endeavor to the best of their power to avenge it (loud applause.)

Sir C. Tupper proposed the next toast :—

‘*The Lords and Commons’— remarking that English statesmen were agreed in

maintaining the unity of the Empire.

The Marquis of Salisbury, who on rising to respond to the toast was received with lond and continued cheering, said—My Lords and Gentlemen,—-I feel that in re- turning thanks to you for the kind manner in which you have received this toast, I shall be transgressing my duty if I detain you at any length. In the first place it is late, and in the second place you have come here for the rare treat of listening to orators from the other side of the world, and you will not be put off with what may be described asthe daily fare of English speakers. (Laughter.) One reason why J fear I have not got to speak at any length on this occasion is, in the first place that all | could say, and say with the greatest sincerity, im my admiration for the dis- tinguished career and the personal char- acter of our honored guest, has been so much better said for me by the chairman that [ should only weary you with repeat-

ing what you ail instinctively. feel. If I went beyond those circumstances which

claim our honor and admiration, and spoke of the party of which he is a triumphant cliof, against those consider- ations to which I have already referred would pull me up; and I feel I should be misunderstood if I were to indicate any possibility of the destiny of a singular party in this country. (Loud laughier.) If again, | were to turn to those fisical doe- trines with which my right hon. friend has been associated, and to try and draw in- spiration inany way from the statesman of Kurope and from the fiscal policy of Canada | should be exposed to certain suspicions. (Renewed laughter.) Of all those occur- ences I have not much to aay, but,their is a

sentiment which i can speak of without re-

proach— one sentiment which is shared by

both sides in politics, by every government |

and by every opposition, whichever side of the wheel of politics is uppermost, which,

more strange still, is shared by both houses |

of parliament, and which may be expressed without coalition or necessity of coim- promise. (Laughter.) The sentiment is the great pride we feel in our colonial empire.

(Loud applause)—the affection we feel for |

our British colonists at any time and the

are | high honor we think it when the distin- |

guishe | men whom their vigorous political life produces honor us with a visit to this country. (Cheers.) I can only say I hope

we may have many visits in the future | from the right hon, gentleman whea he is wearied with those circumstances vl political life to which the chairman has «l- luded and that Canada may fully attatn that high prospect te which her destiny seems to point, and that in many future | years she may look back with pride to her infaney, which was nurtured by England, and which owes so much to the superin- tending sagacity and wisdom of statesmen like our distinguished guest. I can wish for her no better wish than that in her long future she may have many statesman whe will shed lustre on her history, and who will confer as many benefit’s upon her people as Sir John Macdonald has done. (Cheers. ) The Duke of Sutherland proposed ‘‘Our coupling the | toast with the names of the Earl of Derby | j !

and the Karl of Kimberley (cheers)

The Earl of Derby, who was received | with cheers, said:—I rise to retura thanks | on behalf of about the highest toast that | | was ever proposed at any pubtic table (hear, hear) Tam very happy to say that onty | one helf devolves upen me. My noble for the other half. I have enough on my own shoulders at any time. I am asked to return thanks for what is undoubtedly the | must important colonial empire that the ; world et any yperiod we know of has| ever seen (cheers.) If we consider, not merely what has been done, but the time that has been taken in doing it; when we consider thit a century and a quar- ter ago hardly anything either of our Indian or cur Colonial Empire existed, it will be admitted by any future historian that the creation of these two empires is ore of the most remarkable phenomena in the history of the world (hear, hear.) Those who remember the politics of the last half century will have noticed three | paaees of opinion upon colonial matters. ‘In early days, before 1840, we were very |fond of our colonies, no doubt; but we showed our affection in a peculiar manner by insisting upon governing them from | Downing Street (hear, hear.) But we found that that arrangement was not a very ‘convenient one either for them or for us. Then came a reaction, and people said, ‘-What is the use of having colonies at all !

Of course we must take care of them as long as they sre young and helpless, but afterwards they must stand upon their own feet.” Gradually we

pont of view, a more rational view. We see, on the one hand, that local self-govern- ment and independence is the necessity of every country which has acquired the slightest position in the world, and we per- ceive that the local self-government has nothing in it which is in the least opposed to that unity which it is now the desire of everybody to maintain. I believe that the arrangement which now exists between the mother country and the Euglish-speak- ing communities abroad is not satisfactory to all parties. There are many persons who think that a closer connection between the colonies and the mother country ought to be created (cheers). This is got the time or the place to go into that controversy. Che connection between England and the leading colonies at the present time, how- ever, it is said, is a very loose one. ‘That is true, but what to my mind is the im- portant matter is not what shall be the mechanical relation between the two coun- iries, but what is the feeling which exists between them (cheers). We know from experience that two countries may be con- nected with each other politically, and yet that there may be a good deal of alienation between them (hear, hear, and laughter.) On the other hand, loose and slight as the constitutional tie is between England and the great English-speaking colonies, I be- lieve it is close enough for union and gener- ‘al connection so long as_ that feeling of patriotism and mutual cordiality which pre vails at the present day continues to exist (cheers). It sometimes happens that when you endeavor to draw ties closer you strain them in so doing. Before | advocate any theory of confederation, I want to know, Do the colonies themselves wish it?

(hear, hear). If they do, they may rely upon it that they will ex ereise an important influence on the

considerations of this country (cheers). We are bound to protect them, and I hope we shall not fail at any time in the recognition of that duty. Meantime | think that the initiative in regard to a closer union ought rather to come from them than from us. I

agree altogether in the general outline sketched by Sir John Macdonald. I

believe we can form one empire in this sense, in which many people think we ought to do. I believe that we can form between the different branches of the empire such a close alliance that when any is attacked the other shall feel bound to resent that attack. In conclusicn, i can but express a hope that anybody who acknowledges this toast on a _ future oceasion will not have to return thanks for any smaller number of colonies (applause. )

The Earl of Kimberley said the toast of India was not directly connected with the business of the evening, but had been intro- duced because the company were met for the purpose of signifying, in the person of Sir John Macdonald, an ardent desire for the unity of the whole empire (cheers.) He accepted the principle of unity which had already been laid down. He entirely agreed with Lord Derby in indicating that the guest of the evening had strack the true note on the subject. The true object which we ought to have in view was to bring about what had justly been termed a close alliance between the different branches j of the empire. He thought the time had }come when this subject might be usefully dizcnssed, and that the more it was dis- cussed the more likely we were to see what | was the true solution of the problem. He ithoucht it was from the colonies that the impulse would come ; and he believed that when it did come it would be fairly and cordia‘ly met by the people of this country (cheers).
