Made In Six Years.

Made In Sly Years.
An American friend Of Earl Grey
once told him that the chief function
of governor general is to flap his
wings and crow" The governor gener-
al Of Canada might be excused If now
and then he INDUCED in this exercise,
for during the six years of his Office the
Dominion has advanced by leaps and
bounds.
Earl Grey went to Canada with re-
luctance. He will leave it with regret
when the time comes. Although Earl
Grey has held the post longer than
any of his predecessors except Lord
Dufferin and Lord Mimic, it is almost
certain that he will remain another
year.
Of Earl Grey's popularity in the Do
minion there can be no doubt. Cana
dams delighted in the wit and 'Vivacity
of Lord Dufferin, they valued the
steadfastness Of Lord Lorne, they adj
.mired the grand seigneur in Lord
Lansdowne and the sportsman in Lord
Minto Earl Grey derives his populari-
| ty from combination Of qualities and
| circumstances.
Makes and Keeps Friends.
In the first place he is one Of those
happy mortals who make friends with
out an effort and keep them by the
attraction of temperament. It is not
given to every one to be on familiar
| No ar nj
tryman. Lord Dufferin could be a
plainsmen west Of Winnipeg before
| the railway ran to the Pacific; he
could groom his own horse while his
| daughter cooked at the campfire, but
in Ottawa and Montreal Lord Dufferin
was ever the grand seigneur and the
'sdignifed part Of the constitutional
mechanism"
Earl Grey can also be the plains
man. He acquired the habit in Rho
desia, where he was administrator in
1867, at the time of the Matabele
war. How many still remember his
afternoon visits to the Bulawayo club
in flannel trousers, SLOUGH hat and
shirt sleeves?
/ And he carried the habit to Canada
where he has visited every province
even to faraWay Dawson City-and
has been welcomed as a comrade by
pioneer and farmer, hunter and miner
He can work with them all and-more
difficult still-can talk with them all
No Canadian born has more assured
faith in the future Of his country thar
Il Earl Grey. He believes as firmly a:
any of them that Canada is destined
to become the most populous, the mos
wealthy and the most important part O
the British empire provided Canada
keeps her judiciary pure, her polite
clean and her administration honest
nothing can prevent her one day be
coming the controlling factor in tn
empire Of self governing nations"
Captures Observation-Disclosures.
In Newfoundland, the oldest and il
many respects the most conservativ
of the British colonies, his infuenc
has been not less beneficent. New
foundlanders have habit of regardin
Canadians as foreigners and as sdis
loyal W lie EDI1IlSug H.. Edl
y Grey has done much to remove thi
y prejudice and to bring nearer the da
when Newfoundland may become nc
the least of ten provinces in the gres
+ Dominion.
r Earl Grey not only believes but pr
r claims his belief from the housetop
5 for he knows the value Of advertiser
s even nation. He has solid found;
d ton for his faith. He has seen til
o population of Canada grow from 81
e to nearly ten millions; he has watche
two railways creeping across the COZ
It tinent to make a third link betwee
o the Atlantic and Pacific; he has q
1t served the tide of migration chanI
4 ing from the south to the north, an
Y the United States returning Canada
II gift Of 100000 sons and daughters
n the republic, and he. has seen barre
It plains golden under grain.
