Che Daily Examiner JULY Fz, L&S8o. Rev. George Wright Hodgson,M. A. | community Wer mourn, to-day, the loss of a model citizen. The Rev. George Wright Hodgson is numbered with his fathers. His spirit has goue to Him who gave it. The highest medical skill in the world had been exerted in his behalf, with apparent success for a time, but vainly, as the event has proved. The terrible disease which fastened itself upon him several years ago could not be thrown off. Shorily afier Faster it made a_ last attack upon him, and after a dreary, fit- ful struggle, it has conquered. He passed away at eight o'clock last evening. He was a worthy son of a worthy! father. Mr. Daniel Hodgson, it will be remembered, went to his rest jnst two perearne the good, homely, practical | partisan stand point. advice he was ready to give whenever preeminent ability i bh which he attacked other man in the | the courage to) grapple with the liquor vice as he | did; and it is certain that had| his health been spared, liquor traffic ? No had violators of | the liquor law would pot now be holding high carnival ? At one time Mr. Hodg- son was a not infrequent contributor to Tne Examiner, though he never took aay part in the disputes of political parties; and the Province is indebted to him for several practical suggestions for the solution of important public questions. One of them, we may now mention, was the forced purchase of the proprietory estates by the Government and their subsequent partitian among tLe tenant holders. He urged tho feasibility of this suggestion by reference to the abolition of the seigneurial tenures of years ago. George Wright I[lodgson was his second son. He was born on| the 15th day of January, 1842, and, when lost to us, was only in his forty-| fourth year, an age at which many men are but beginning the work which is given them to do. His education was obtained at the Central Academy in this city, and at King’s College, Nova Scotia. He was a brilliaut scholar. Bright, studious and thoughtful by nature, he was the delight of bis Professors. The information he obtained at school and college was supplemented by methodical, sedulous, daily reading, persevered in so long as his strength lasted, even after his health was completely broken; and for many years he has been one of the most deeply and widely learned meu in Canada. In the course of his short career, he worked for the Church, for his country and for mankind, with powertul voice and skilful pen, with earnestness and un- selfishness, rare in these latter days of flippancy and greed. He was celebrated over the Lower Provinces for his eloquence, which was of the higher kind that, by means of plain, simple and reasouable language, understood by all, convinces the mind and touches the heart; and his hand was wonderfully rapid and effective when wielding the pen. His chief work was for the Church of England. In 1864, he was ordained a Deacon; in 1865 he was called to the Priesthood; shortly after he was appoint- ed Chaplain to His Lordship, the Bishop of Nova Scotia. His first charge was the Parish of Lunenburg, which he left emid the regrets and tears of a iarge congregation, in order that he might come home to his native place ard be- come Priest Incumbent of St. Peter's Church in this city. That was sixteen years ago. The Church was new. A congregation had to be formed in the face of strong opposition from every de- nomination in the town. The difficulties to be overcome were many and great. But he prayed,and worked,and succeeded. Twice every day he held services in the Church. He preached the Word on Sundays and _ OHolidays. Fre. quently he had classes and prayer meetings. He taught in the day school and inthe Sunday school. He visited the sick and helped the poor. He performed all the duties of his high and sacred calling with scrupulous care. Mary thought that he taugbt wrong doctrines, and were kept away from hira. But his zeal, his practical ability, his evident sincerity, his kindness, his purity ot lifeand character drew many to his side,—and, we believe, have won the admiration evea of those who differed most widely from his religious opinions. He leaves St. Peter's Church very sor- row ful, but nnited and hopeful, and bear- ing in mind the remembrance of his Jast words to them: ** Do not be cast down if difficulties present themselves. Be of good courege; God is with His Church, avd will be even to the end. lf trials come upon you be patient. Be diligent in prayer and in the use of all the means of grace. Love the Lord Jesus, ond love one another for His sake,” Upon the Church of England in this diocese, aad throughout Canada, Mr. Hodgson exercised an influence far more potent than men of his age usually do. He was “young in years, but in sage counsel old,” and he was a recognized leader in diocesan and provincial synods. There were many tokens that, notwith- standing the difference of their views on some questions of minor importance, he enjoyed, to the full, the confidence and esteem of his Bishop and fellow clergy- men. Ouly a few months before he was called away, he was offered,and pressed to take,the high and responsible position of President of h’s Alma Mater, the University at Windsor. Asa citizen Mr. Hodgson was among the foremost in every good word and work, His conduct was, indeed, a mo'el for those who desire to be good citizens. Stiff in his own opinions, and ready to promote and defend his views, he was, atthe same time, exceedingly iolerant of the opivions of others, and sensitively careful about hurting anybody by word or deed who was not evidently doing wrong, or of infringing in any way upoo the rights of others. His home, outside and inside, was a pattern of neatvess and good order, his walk and conversation were those of the honest and trove man: He took a lively interest in public improvements, and made many good suggestions. Who does not remem- ber the activity he showed in the plant- bg of trees on our sidewalks and eq uares, the sympathy he evinced in the nobie work of the teachers of our public Lower Canada,and after some discussion, it was accepted and carried out. So, the vexed long standing land question was settled in accordance with a suggestion for which Tae Examiner and _ the country is indebted to the Rev. George Wright Hodgson. The sick, the poor, the distressed, in mind or body, had in Mr. Hodgson, not merely a faithful minister of the Saviour of allsuch, but a warm-hearted compas- sionate friend. He gave them the sympathy of a man, and aided them in a practical way. His presence was as a cheeriug light at the bed of sickness, and he withheld not his hand from those who were in want and misery. Less than a year ago Mr Hodgson was married to Miss Gertrude Des- Brisay, second daughter of the late ‘Theophilus DesBrisay, Esq., of Spring Park, who, with his brother, Mr. Edward J. Hodgson, and his many sor- rowing relatives, has the heartfelt syin- pathy otf the community. The loss we mourn, in common, to-day is, indeed, severe. It is a loss to the Church, a loss to the public, a loss to the cause of temperance, a loss to the sick and poor, a loss (greatest of all) to the bereaved wife and family. But,we must humbly say, as he said: ‘Thy will be done”; and we may comfort ourselves by thinking of him as one made as per- fect as it is fit that man here should be, and so called away from a world of im- perfection. ** When faith and love, which parted from thee never Had ripened thy just soul to dwell with God, Meekly thou didst resign this earthly load Of death, called life ; which us from life doth sever, hy works and alms and all thy cood endeav or Stayed not bebind, nor in the grave were trod ; But, as faith pointed with her golden rod, Followed thee up to joy and bliss forever, ” ERNE HLS PR — — —o-——» e @- 9 - -4 — The Liberal Party in this Province have long ago manifested a strong aver- sion to free discussion of the political issues of the day on the public platform. They hold hole-and-corner meetings, make inflammatory speeches, and use various devices to entrap the unwary ; but when challenged to come out boldly and discuss political questions fairly and impartially, they slink off to hiding places as do cowardly assassins when their weapons of destruction are wrested from their grasp or left useless in their hands. At no time and iv no place of late has the Grit or Reform Party shown the white feather more apparently than last evening at Marshfield. A pub- lic meeting was held there by the Liberal Conservative for the discussion of political questions. Hon. Donald Fergu- sob was invited to speak on behalf of ihe Liberal-Conservative Party, and L. H. Davis, Esq., or a substitute, on the part of the Grits.. Last evening about two hundred of the most intelligent elec- tors assembled to hear the discussion. Mr. Ferguson was present; but Mr. Davies, afraid to face a worthy foe on equal grounds, went to Georgetown on pretence of attending a session of the Supreme Court, which really does not commence at that place until to-morrow. True, the President of the Little York Reform Club — Mr. Muin—was present to apclogise for Mr. Davies’ absence, but the apology was “too thin.” It was not received by the meeting in a kindly spirit. It only made it more apparent to the electors that the leader of the Grit party wished to shirk the discussion, and that they were afraid to meet their opponents face to face. The meeting was addressed by Hon. D. Ferguson, who received an attentive hearing and handled the live questions of the day in such a manner as to wip the incomiums of all present. We shall publish the first part of Mr. Ferguson’s speech to-morrow. oom »-- -— ——— —~ —A United States exchange, referring to the Canadian Government Franchise Bill, says :— * Canada has taken a long step toward manhood suffrage, and henceforth will add to its voting lists many thousands of names. Tho increase is estimated by some as equal to cns-third of the present electorate. In cities the property qualification is $300, a reduction of 25 per cent., while in towns a corresponding decrease has been made from $300 to $200. The income qualifi. cation has also been lowered from $400 to $300, and under the head of income daily wages are to be concluded. But the change which should interest Americans more than all others is the entrusting of the franchise to Indians, except in British Columbia and the Northwest Territories, provided, however, that actual settlement is made on some distinct portion of a re- ; Serve, and that the owner has expended $150 on his property.

CARDINAL MANNING STANDS SIDE BY SIDE WITH EDITOR STEAD—FIRST SESSION OF THE GREAT COMMISSION OF INQUIRY. Lonpon, July 16.—Rt, Hon. end Most Rev. Edward White Benson, Archbishop of Canterbury and Primate of Englend; Rt. Rev. Frederick Temple, D D., Bishop of London; His Eminence Henry Edward, Cardinal Manning, Archbishop of Wesi= minster, and Hon, Samuel Morley, member of Parliament for Bristel, met this after- noon at the Mansion House and began tl eir work of special private inquiry into the evidence which the Pall Mall Gazette bases its charges of iniquity in London. The Lord Mayor and the City Recorder were by invitation present at the meeting. The commission investigating the charges made by the Pall Mall Gazette spent three hours yesterday afternoon undrr oath. The commissioners’ examination was confined to the work of sifting evidence gathered by the reporters in support of the (Gazette's statement that among the criminal establish- ments purveying to vice in London was the procuration firm of Mesdames X. and Z., whose business consisted of supplying cus- tomers all over Europe with young female children, certified by reputable physicians to be innocent. To show the Marsion House committee that the diabolical business exposed by the Gazette was still carried on, a reporter offered to procure from the establishment of X. and Z. as many certified girls as the committee might name. There being some, hesita- tion about the acceptance of this proposi- tion, the reporter, while the committee was in session, went to a procuress and ordered a pretty girl, fourteen years of age, certified by a physician to be good, to be delivered to his order as ‘‘agen( for a gentleman of sixty.” Madame accepted the order, and in a short time pro- duced the girl certified. The reporter ia. vestigated the child’s history, and a:scer- tained that her father was dead and her mother was a poor working woman. . The girl was dressed in an old black frock. Having completed the purchase of the girl, the reporter hastened to arrange for he: delivery anywhere, and to any person designated by the Committee. No member of the Committee would consent to receive her ; the reporter thereupon arranged for her delivery to-night, and hurried back to the Mansion House, having completed the entire transaction. Cardinal Manning, in an interview, give: the editor and proprietor of the Pall Mu/l Gazette the strongest support :— ‘I know Mr. Stead,” Cardinal Manning said, ‘‘and have perfect confidence in his intentions and integrity. What he has done has been done im combination with a number cf trastworthy persons and legal ad visors,so that his evidence depends not on hearsay, but on direct personal knowledge. The extent of the evil now exposed has long been indistinctly known,but it has been im- poseible te obtain legal proof. Mr, Stead is the first person who has ventured, at great personal sacrifice and endurance, to obtain this legal evidence. It was certain that io publishing statements so detailed and so often vivid he will encounter, as he has done, a great deal of oblequy, but, on the other hand, he has the foremost support of a very large number of men of all kinds and of the largest influence in England. It would be easy to criticiss the details of articles of such a nature, and all those who desire to hush up so atrocious an evil may find expressions and narratives on which to fasten, but it would be ungenerous, cowardly and cruel to assail a man who has sacrificed himself to expose, in the hope of checking it, if not of extirpating it, an evil of such portentious magnitude. It is to be further remem. bered that since 1881 attempts to obtain a needed legal enactment have been continually and vexatiously defeated. Yet in 1881 a committee of the House of Lords published a folio bluebook, dealing in the minute particulars with irrefragable proof of the enormities of this abominable traffic. Year after year, the bill proposed to Parliament had been weakened, defeated or talked out. The patience of those who know the truth has been justly exhausted. Nothing short of this last righteous and resolute action cvuld, in my belief, have enforced and _ en- sured the enactment of further power to supplement our most defective statues on this terrible subject.” wee Tae Cost of the Rebellion. (Montreal Gazette. The Government estimates the cost of the Northwest rebellion at $4,000,000, $1,700,000 having been already voted, and $2,300,000 placed in the estimates for the current fiscal year. This is a large addition to the ordinary expenditure of a twelve months, and one wholly unexpected, but there are few outside the pale of rabid partisans who wi'l aver it was avoidabie. The uprising resulted from the instigation of a single man working on tho prejudices and the ignorance of a distinct class of people, a man bent upon creating mischief, and whose object, as all testimony proves, was less to obtain what is termed justice than to force conces sions at the pointof the bayonet. While the expense has been considerable, the results have given ample compensation. A dificult problem has been solved; the future security of settlers has been assured; the ability of Canada to cope with internal dissensions has been demonstrated, and out of the perplexities of the past four months has come an inspiration of nationality, and a consciotsness of power hitherto unknown to the Dominion. Four millions is a large suin of money to spend, but it will be well spent if it awakens the people to a sense of their citizenship and of the possibilities of their country. The iong continued drought in the Southern provinces of Russia has com- pletely ruined the crops. Tho Marquis of Salisbury has reduced the renta of his tenants. ! EXAMINER, JULY 21, 1885. Reported Miracles. | The O\tawa pilgrims, numbering over six hundred persuns, returned to Montreal on the 19th inst., by the steamer Canada from St. Arne de Beaupre. Several miracles are said tu have been accomplish- ed, and among them reported is the case of a young man named Dolan, aged 20, of Manotick, who was suffering from spinal injuries, end uvable to sit or wa'k in erect posi‘ion. Oa returning from the shrine it is said that he was able to walk as wellas any of his fellow passengers. An- ouier case is that of a French-Canadian woman who had been lame for a number of yo’rs and had to go on crutches. While raturning on the Canada she suddenly felt better, and sent the cruiches back to the shrive as a gift. Another old lady named Limothe, aged 70, also a cripple, after praying at the altar, dropped the crutches end left, walking at a rapid pace, crying through gratitude, Other miracles report- el ere being investigated. —Montreal Cazette, -_—_- A Southern Picture by a traveller throvgh ithe Fearl River county, Missis- sppi State, as described in the New Orleans Picayune :—‘'We presently passed near a cabin home, and noted the mother washing olf her numerous brood, prepara- tory to packing them all off to bed. Fancy eight little barbarians stood ail in a row on a pine log near the well,and all quite naked. Very much in earnest the busy mother lathered the lot with soap from top to bottom, and then dashed big tin basins- ful of cold water over them. As the soap was thus primitively rinsed off, she lifted them one by one and stood them on the porch to drip. How pretty they looked, their bare limbs glistening like brown marble. An elder sister dropped a short calico slip over each white head (they stood like so many dandelions gone to seed, their elf locks flying) and in the twinkle of an eye the entire lot were tumbled off into the room, where a spark was glowing on the big hearth.” _ oe — Lightning does its work before the victim knows anything. Two men were struck while taking refuge under a tree. Both were carried into the house 01 laid out for dead. One of the men revived, and, after weeks of terrific suffering and infirmity, he got out again and is still living. He said he knew no more about having been s'ruck by lightning thar. he was conscious of hav- ing lived before the flood, It was all news ‘to bim when he was told of the fact. sECURSION OA PE BRETON, i, — Petes PER S.
