PRICE---38a NOBLE TRIBUTE PAID TO MEMORY OF PRIN- -CIPAL GRANT By Dr. Moore, of Brockville--As He Lived, So He Died--He Bowed Alone to Death. At Queen's medical dinner on Thurs day night, Dr. Moore, of Brockville, paid this tribute to the late Principal Grant : He was a great man, an orator, a statesman, a distinguished citizen, who, in the zenith of his fame and power reached his journey's end. He earned and held a proud position in the public thought. He stood for ab- solute integrity and his name was known and honored by thousands of his fellowmen. He knew that men were only fragments; that the great- ese 'walk in shadow, and that faults and failures mingle with the lives of all. Charity should hold the scales in which are weighed the deeds of men. He was a man of principle and cour- age. He ~ was an honest man. Honesty is the oak around which all other virtues cling. The higher ob- ligations among men are not set down in writing, signed and sealed, but reside in honor. He was the ideal representative, faithful and in- corruptible; a leader tried and trust- ed. He had the tastes of a prince, the fortune of a peasant, dnd yet he never swerved, and on his soul there never was a sordid stain. Poverty was his priceless crown. He was fa- miliar with the great streams and currents and tides: of authority. He was original, thoughtful and pro- found. He had breadth and scope, re sources, learning, logic, and, above all," a sense of justice. He was an orator, earnest, logical, intense, and picturesque from the cor ner-stone of statement to the doomed conclusion. He satisfied the eve; the audience was his. He had that inde- finable thing called presence, tall, com- manding, ample, in graceful in compliment and metaphor, erect, speech, amd his sentences measured and rhythmic, fell like music ¢n the en raptured throng. He wore no mask. He walked a highway of his own and kept the company of his self-respect. He believed in the royalty of men, in the sovereignty of the citizen, and in the matchless greatness of this fair Canada. [I have, many times thought that our forefathers were edu cated by nature, and 1 am still of that belief, that they grew grand as the continent which they inhabited; that the great rivers, the splendid lakes, the lonely forests, sublime mountains, the introspective silent plain, stole in upon them and became part of their nature and they grew great as the country in which they lived. This seems to me to apply perfectly to our late principal, George Munro Grant, who, with our beloved chancellor, tra velled from ocean to ocean across this vast continent, and gave to the pro moters of the great Canadian Pacific railway such information as led them to construct this transcontinental highway, the finest in the world. Touched hy the pathos of all human life, knowing the shadows that fall on every hecart--the thorns in every path, the sight, the SOFIOws, and the tears that lie between a mother's arms and death's embrace, he knew that all the streams, no matter how they wander, turn and curve amid the hills or rocks, or linger in the lakes and pools, must sometime reach the sea. These views enlarged his soul made him patient with the world, and while the wintry of age were falling on his head, spring, with all her wealth of hloom, was in his heart. And as he lived ke died. Proudly he enteél the darkness, or the dawn that we call death." Unshrinkingly he passe heyvond the horizon, heyond the twilight's purple hills, beyond the ut most reach of human harm or help, to that realm of silence or of" joy where the innumerable dwell, and he has left with us his wealth of thought and deed, the memory of a brave, im perious, honest man who bowed alone to death.

Herr Most is now serving a term in the penitentiary for writing defamatory articles in his paper at the time of the assassination of President McKin- ley.

ITS PEOPLE, GOVERNMENT r AND TRADE The Venezuelan Charter is Model- ed After United States Con- stitution--The Country Has Many Resources--Divided Into Three Zones. Syracuse Post-Standard. Venezuela, with which Germany and Great Britain are now engaged in al- tercation, is the most northern of South American states. The Caribbean sea washes its northern border; on the cast is Guiana; below Venezuela's southern jagged boundary line spreads the broad territory of Brazil; while to the west is that other South American country which is so-frequently in a state of revolution, Colombia. Through the very centre of Venezue- Ja flows the Orinoco river, which near the western line bends to the south and marks the boundary between Cas- tro's country gnd Colombia, In 1830 the republic of Venezuela was formed by secession from other members of the Free State, which Si- mon Bolivar, known to history as the Liberator of Colombia, founded with- in the limits of the Spanish colony known as New Granada, formed in 1718, and including territory in the northern part of South America. The charter of fundamental laws of ' the Venezuelan republic promulgated in 1530 and reproclaimed with slight gl- terations in March, 1864, and April, 1881, is modeled after the constitu. tion of the Unitdd States, though con- siderably more independence is grant- ed to provincial, and local govern- ment, TY _ The head of the central government is a president elected for a term of two years, who is assisted in the exercise of his duties by six ministers and a federal council of nineteen mem- bers. These members of the federal council are appointed by the congress every two yeas, the council from 5) its own membdrs | choosing a president, who is also tht chief executive of the republic. Neither the president nor members of the council can be re-elect- ed for the following period. Legislation for the republic is vested in a congress consisting' of two hous es, the senate, made up of three mem- bers for each of the eight states of the federation and for the federal dis- trict; and the house of representatives, containing one member for each 33,000 population. In the lower house there are fifty-two members and in the up- per twenty-four, The republic is divided into eight states, two national settlements, eight territorics gnd one federal dis- trict, the combined area of which is 593,943 square miles. According to the Statesman's Year Book for 1900, the population of Venezuela in 1591 2,32 , more than 1,000,000 than the number of people living in the city of New York alone, and only about 700,000 more than the inhabit- ants of Chicago.
