It , ves his opinion that Brituinis guilty 5 of national sins such as the opium and ' .. _ Qliquor trac, Sabbath desecration and Q social abominations, and for these God 5 has been punishing the nation, the- , ` V wespon used` being the Boers who will `eventually hevictims of greater punish- i g lllent at the hands of the British. _With all due respect to Dr. German : i gpiosition, we do not think he has any V right to assume thej udtoisl position his , - `remake place him in.

He is a delightful con- versationalist, and when among friends ` and acquaintances.` his conversation sparkles with wit, humor and anecdote. His knowledge is encyclopaedia, there being hardly any subject, in art, science, literature or anything else, on which he cannot` intelligently converse. He gives freely of his wealth to deserving objects and useful enterprises and to him the country is chiey indebted for the Sir John 'Macdonald chair of po- litical ceremony in Queeu s University, . Kingston. Though the life-long friend? of Sir John Macdonald. his political. _ impartiality is emphasized by his hav. ing been designated a Liberal Conserva,-'. tive by one side, and a Moderate Re- formerbyl the other. The write; has often heard him express his admiration of Sir Oliver Mowat, the Hon. David-' Mills andvother Liberal public men. His private life has been pure blame- ` less 8l|d_ happy as his public life has been one of unremitting useful work. A full` account of his life and _work _ would be of incalculable value, as an ince..tive to our youth to go onward in the path of rectitude, to distinction and ' honor. The venerable Senator entered on his" 85th` year on the 22nd, inst., and is spending the evening ' , of his daysat his bedutiful `home on -the shore of Kempenfeldt Bay, at Bar- t rie, respected and esteemed by the l people of ,,the great" county of Simcoe. whose interests he has done so much to advance, and loved and revered by all I who have the privi ego of his acquaint- * ance and triendship. I `I"l"LTt`I In 1885 he was called to the Senate and he` has been as successful as a `legislator-is he has been as an inter- pretsr_and administrator of the law. His speeches in that body are marked by the comprehensiveness and- accuracy which characterize all his other works. They arefelicitous in diction and ex- haustive of the subjects treated, and he has often received the thanks of Sena- ;g'sgod infall`-sorts of other work, draft- , ing1a_w_8..`oonsolidating `statutes, improve tug criminal codes, perfecting municipal 9 j judicial` worklaheiwas em" madhinery-and in educational and other work of a public and benecial nature.

The Hon. Robt. Bald win, Sir W. M.
