Mr.. Editor-As a matter of
course Lord Lorne's appoint
ment will be received in Cana
da with universal joy. Her
majesty and her counselIors
have displayed the utmost good
will towards the Dominion in
the choice they have made. No
selection would have shown
greater confidence in the future
Of this country, and none could
be more beneficial. II Will turn
all eyes in Britain towards Cam
ada; it will bring thousands Of
tourists to admire our natural
scenery and study our material
resources, and will secure for us
even a greater share than other
wise we would have had of the
great emigration which must
necessarily take place when ac-
tive prosperity is again made
manifest on this continent. We
are sure that every inhabitant
in Canada, Of whatever origin,
will receive with gratitude this
latest exhibition by the Queen
of the kindly goodwill which
she has always shown towards
the Dominion. The Marquis
will unquestionably prove an
excellent constitutional ruler,
and the presence of the dangh-
ter of the Queen will bring JOY
to the hearts of thousands Of
loyal Canadians. The arrange
ments may not be permanent,
the experiment may never be
repeated, but no harm seems
likely to arise from the appoint
ment. There arc many, of
course, who arc not so epthusi-
astic, and have more of regret
at Lord Dufferin's departure
than Joy at the prospective ar
rival. But we venture to think
that i'll the present appointment
as in so many others, the knowl-
edge Of men shown by Lord
Beaconsfield will be justified by
The results. Accustomed to
courts, and with a daughter Of
Her Majesty by his side, we
may feel confident the purely
ceremonial part of his duties
will be performed with eclat by
our new Viccroy, while his
knowledge Of politicsand state
craft, though he is only in his
thirty-filth year, will serve him
in good stead in that more re-
sponsible and difficult sphere Of
practical direction which 4 gov
crnor general is bound TO ex-
ercise. With fine natural gifts,
with more than the ordinary
culture of educated men, with
the experience of a politician
with, moreover, the mistakes
and successes of many prede-
ccssors before him; Lord Lorne
will enter on his viceregal dr.
ties with the happiest augurics
Nor amongthese must be placed
as last the fact that he come.
