A I'.irfiT, siirli as thai of Sir John MaciloiiaM, ln'.nun

tiiiiis (if tlu- last half ct-iiUiry, is \)U»){ of tlu- hij^lit-sl
niiTits. Chaiu'e was tic viT so i-oiistaiit. MtMi, ])iil)lic jiro-
lilfiiis, ])olitiral ooiulitioiis chanjieil ahoiil him a ; oloinls
shift ami melt and jiather aj^ain on an .\])ril day ; hut
hf fared every new oomhination with a confident e\e
and emerj^ed from every eonlliet with the serene air of
a I'oniineror. No confusion was too intricate for his
acnnien ; no task loo delicate for his matchless tact.
The imi)<)rtaiice of the life of the statesman is to
he measured hy the jiidj^metit he has used in framinj.;
the constitution of the country ; hy the ahility with
which he has manaj^ed to make his jfovernmeul conform
in all requirements to that constitution ; hy the tact with
which he has dealt with the disconlant elements he finds
around him ; by the innuences of a kindly heart and a
j^raceful bearin^r with which he has smoothed the rouj^jh
edj;es of partisan contests and softened the social and jioli-
tical as])erities inevitable under iill systems of government ;
and bv the amount of respect, the warmth of love, and the
lieii,dil of aihniralion, with which he has imbued the masses
of the ])eo])le, whose suffraj^es he has secured.
Juil]i;e<l by these tests, the Hie of Sir John Macdonald
mav be well said to have been successful. His clear-
sighteilness in fashioninjj; such legislation as will redoun<l
to the gre.itness of Canada in future ages ; the devoteil-
ness of his life 'o the fixed principle of the maintenance
of Hrilish connection for the northern hi'.lf of the conti-
nent ; the tran.scendency of his genius in reaching
out and overcoming ap|)arently insurmountable diffi-
culties which might, if left alone, hinder the advance-
ment and material prosperity of his loved country,
has earned for his name that glory and honor which
Montreal and Canada, Liberals and Conservatives are
l)roud to accord to it to-day. Tile feeling which
prompted the old Na])oleonic motto : " There shall be
no Al])s," was strongly characteristic of the life of the
1 ite Sir John Macdonald. This was never better .seen
than in the unwavering courage with which lie faced
the task of encircling the Dominion with that iron
belt which traverses this continent of America, from
Halifax to Vancouver, the great transcontinental route
of the I'jupire. The work was of such a stupemlous
nature that its very magnitude seemed to defy the
