INDEPENDENCE DAY COMING
Canada is 70 be Free - Lecture Of Hon,
VIC McDOugal, Of 0ttOWa.
He Relates the Points and Conclusions
Obtained in Talk with clad
stone and Others.

HAMILTON, CANADA, April 6.-HOn.
VIM. c. McDOugal, formerly member
Of the Ottawa Government, and late
Lieutenant-GO in a lecture last
night, stated that when in England he
had discussed the position of Canada,
as affected by the relations existing bet
ween England and the United States,
with Mr.. Cardwell, Earl Granville,
Mr. Gladstone, and Mr.. Adderly,
Under Secretary for the Colonies
in the previous government, and
the conclusion they had all come to
was, that all parties recognized the
change that had taken place in the
position of Great Britain, and We're
anXiOusly preparing in every possible
way to meet the new changes. He had
been forced 10 the conclusion that the
policy was, not to abandon the colonies,
nor TO act so as to drive them away from
their allegiance, but TO prepare them
for maintaining their own position by
means of their own right hands, to
make them conscious that if the attack
was made again, and then they must
depend mainly, if not altogether,
on their own resources TO resist it, fail
ing i'm which, they must be prepared to
accept the consequences, whatever they
might be. Speaking for himself,
and speaking freely, frankly and truth
fully, he was of opinion that the
union of these provinces was prelimi-
nary step for the establishment of sys-
TEN of government in British America
which would enable US, when the mo-
ment arrived, when necessity pressed
il upon US, to maintain seperate and
independent existence among the ma
tions. He believed that that idea was
present TO the minds Of those who took
mart in that change, but because they
foresaw, in eXcitable contingencies, was
il TO be charged, that they were disloyal,
as had been hinted.
He took the position that these men
were not open to any such condemnation
as that referred TO in the phrase of Lord
MOnek about the new nationality. Lord
I,isgar's declaration that the alliance
should now take place rs well as the re-
peated observations of the leading
newspapers of England, established
the fact that what public men in Cana
da foresaw was based on a correct I'M
derstsnding Of opinion in the mother
country. The whole drift of that Opin-
ion was that the connection with Cana
ds. WAS a source OF embarrassment from
which the mother country should be
freed as soon as possible, and if the Eng
lish statesmen and the English press
discussed the question 50 unreservedly,
without being subject 10 imputations Of
disloyalty, It could not be charged
against the public men of Canada that
t6ey were wanting in loyalty, because
they recognized the actual position Of
affairs. The speaker was frequently ap-
nlauded

The situation.
sA1T LAKE, April 6.-The Mormon
RanubIiesu convention in session last
evening in this city, elected Frank Fuller
and Thomas Fitch delegates to Philadel-
mia. The platform adopted was quite
elaborate, and deprecated the course OF
MANY Federal officials in Utah, but eX-
pressed confidence that the Administra-
lion will relieve the people from the
oppression 80 long and patiently borne
,ats1. that no part of the people should
~ deprived of a voice In the selection Of
those who execute the laws, that the
territorial system was instituted to pre-
mare the people for seli-gOyernment and
not 10 rob them Of that right, and that Ii
h the duty of Republicans TO see that
Utah be restored TO her national rights.
Failing to elect a second United States
Senator I'm the Senate, both houses to-
day in ioint convention on the first bal
lot chose Thomas Fitch in the place OF
Thomas P. Akers, resigned. Some OF
Tire prominent signers of the call Tor
democratic Convention assert that their
,sH1sOse Il solely national, that they ll-
a0rse Judge Mexican and oppose the ad-
mIufstrati0n. The annual conference OF
the Mormon Church, began this morn
ing. The great crowd Of speakers
glOried in the progress OF the kingdom
and that the Mormon Church could not
be retarded by the combined efforts OF
all the existing powers OF every presl-
dent, Judge, officer, and priest against
1he fell Christening hand Of God.

JAMES B. SHARPE-The subject Of this
notice was native of kOckbridge
county EirEiHia, whence when quite
kutherford county, Tspnesssee; Here in lsii,
he was converted TO God and Joined the
faithful member to the time OF his death,
which occurred in Memphis, March l3, ls72.
In 1872 he was married 70 Miranda Horton,
daughter Of the late Rev. Henry G. Horton, 80
widely known and respected for many years,
both in Tennessee and Mississippi, for his
deep, uniform piety and his earnest devotion
as q faithful minister Of Christ In ls4s, with
his Wifes relatives, he left Tennessee and set
tied In Panoia county, Mississippi, where he
resided several years in the discharge Of his
duties a. a Christian, citizen and magistrate,
beloved and respected by a large circle OF
friends and acquaintance. In ls55 pretty
much the whole family settled In Memphis.
Here the deceased and his piOuS wife lost no
time in connecting themselves with the
church. In fact, from the time he first gave
his heart 10 God, and joined the church, the
idea of living out OF II never occurred 10 him.
He would as soon have conceived the idea Of
abode in the wilderness He and his wife
were never blessed with children of their own,
yet more than one orphan was fed and
clothed and sheltered and educated and
trained up for God and the church by them.
He had very clear and strong conceptions OF
truth, and rare tenaeity in adhering 70 Il;
at the same time he carried along with 10
warm and generous heart, always open 70
the claims OF charity. Poverty and distress
never appealed to him in vain and when
funds were needed to erect a church, or meet
the wants OF any Of the benevolent enter
prise5 OF the church, his heart and purse were
always open God crowned his labOrs with
success, and blessed him with fair share OF
the goods Of this world. These he held In
trust steward OF the manifold grace Of
God, and was at all times ready 10 distribute
for the relief OF the poor and needy. From the
time OF his marriage until the date Of his
death, God blessed him in the penssn OF his
dear wife with help-mats, to whose good
sense and Uniform devotion 10 God he was in
debted in no small degree for has success as a
Christian. His last sickness was short and
painful, all which, however, he bore with
calm fortttude and Christian resignation, Ten
during as seeing Him who Is invisible" And
thus in his last struggle he realized the value
OF the faith and hope which had cheered him
on through years of toll and devotion TO God.
In life We knew and loved him, and in death
we mourn our loss But, thank God, Eve sOr-
row not as those who have no hope" because
we believe that Jesus died and rose again.
"eYen so them also that sleep in Jesus viii,
God being with him"
Servant of God, well done:
Rest from thy loved employ;
The battle fought, the victory won,
Enter thy Masters Joy"

pm, in her sixteenth year, Miss ELLA Hos
KINS.
At church on last Sabbath, and in her seat
at the high-schOol on Monday, she closed her
eyes In death on Friday afternoon, of that fell
disease, meningitis. Suffering fearfully but
patiently, and for the last two days uncOn-
sciously, she fell quietly into her last sleep.
An eager and beloved student, a happy
hearted and generous schOOlmate, tsnderly-
loving daughter and sister, the darling OF the
household, lust budding into a sweet and
beautiful WOmanhoOd, her sudden and IN
timely death has caused an aching void in the
social circle in which she moved. The joy
that walked at her presence is now veiled
In grief and tears. The ties that bound her TO
loved ones here were strong indeed, but they
could not hold her gentle spirit from answer
ing the summons Of angels beckoning from
q more genial shore for her sweet companion
ship.

history and admirable personal quail
ties of George w. Jones, who through
an almost ordinary lifetime represented
the Lincoln District of Tennessee in the
Congress Ofthe United States and in thai
