I FiIDAY, JUNE '23, l899.j A TESTIMONIAL T0 SIR WILFRID. _ A proposal is on foot to raise u tes- timonial fund of $100,000 for Sir Wilfrid Laurier, “in recognition of his servicesto the country and at the ‘ same time to place him in a position to devote his time to the public ser- vice without having any anxiety as to the future of. hisfamily.” The Montreal Herald tells that the idea originated with Mr. L. O_David the City Clerk of Montreal, and a life- long friend of the Premier ; that the great difliculiy was to get Sir Wilfrid to give his consent for such a. sub- scription to- be undertaken and to make sure that he would accept the ttestimoniil; that it was urgenily re- presented lo the Premier that the. subscription would he strictly limited to a circle of personal friends and ad-. mir-ers, ani_at last he was _Thereupon a committee was formed 1 *cf which Maypr of;'Mon- treal is chairman. 'that “as soon as Lord Strathcotia and Mount Royal heard that the commit- tee had organized he wrote warmly endorsing the project and culogising by offering his cheque for "ten, lifteen or twenty thousand dollars and more if necessary.” With such a promising beginning and the number of Sir Wrlfrid’s personal friends and _ad- mirers whoare willing and able to give, there is little doubt that the testimonial will be speedily realized. We are not quite sure that the proposed testimonial will strike' all persons with the same degree of favor, though very muchgmay be said to ted a worthyand patriotic public man andhecertainly is a rarely gifted one. He was not born to wealt ll. and he has for many years devoted himself to the country’s service so closely as to preclude him from mak- ing money in his profession or , in other callings. Why may not his l friends and admirers who have abund- ant wealth,share it with him in this may if they feel _so disposed? A Possibly one reason for Sir Wilfrid’s hesitation to consent to allow the sub scription to be undertaken may nave arisen from a memory of ,events not very long in the past. The time was when Sir John Macdonald was the leader of agreat and wealthy party in Canada though he himself was poor inihis wo:-la,»ee:us is new euriawd sepia and further info'mst'f-n mav 0 - J - Water dcaft seem if dnnhng' ' `water. beverageforfhewurmdaysi is aieepoeefiir ef* Effervescent sau - inatumblerofwater.
