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
