ALEXANDRINA Victoria, now Queen and Empress, was born at Kensington Palace, London, on the 24th of May, 1819. Her father was the Duke of Kent, and her mother was the Princess Victoria Maria Louisa, of Saxe Cobourg Saalfield. She is descended from William the Conqueror and from Egbert, the first King of all England. Egbert was of the royal stock of the Saxons, claiming descent from Woden. He was elected king of the West Saxons, and added to his territories by conquest until he governed all England and Wales and a considerable part of what is now Scotland. The regular line of descent from Egbert to Victoria is as follows: Egbert; Ethelwulf; Alfred the Great; Edward the Elder; Edmund ; Edgar ; Ethelred ; Edmund Ironside; Edward; Margaret, wife of Malcolm, King of Scotland; Matilda, wife of Henry the First; Matilda, Empress of Germany and wife of Geoffrey of Anjou ; Henry the Second ; John ; Henry the Third; Edward the First; Edward the Second; Edward the Third; John of Gaunt; John Beaufort, Earl of Somerset; John Beaufo t, Duke of Somerset ; Margaret, wife of Edmund Tudor, Earl of Richmond ; Henry the Seventh ; Margaret, wife of James the Fourth, of Scotland; James the Fifth, of Scotland; Mary, Queen of Scots; James the Sixth of Scotland and First of England ; Elizabeth, wife of Fred- erick, Elector Palatine; Sophia, wife of Ernest Augu.stus, Elector of Hanover ; George the First ; George the Second ; Frederick, Prince of Wales ; J ^U^ f- J (J i837— QUEEN'S JUBILEE—iSg; 9 For Fine . .

Henry the First, who married iviatilda, the daughter of Malcohn, King of Scotland, was the youngest son of William the Conqueror. Thu' , Queen Victoria is the descendent of the king who first reigned over united England, of the king who first reigned over England and Ireland, and of the first king of Great Britain and Ireland. It might be supposed, then, that her claim to the throne would rest upon her royal descent and upon the divine right of sovereigns to occupy the thrones of their ancestors. But in fact Queen Victoria reigns by the will of the people and by act of Parliament. From the remotest times the kings or chiefs of the S-^xon tribes were elected. They must be chosen from the royal stock which claimed descent from Woden, but their election by tho Witan, or Parliament, was absolutely essential. After the Norman Conquest the form of election was not always observed, but the practice was not forgotten, nor was the right ever surrendered by the people, though often they were not able to enforce it. Henry the First was chosen by the Witan in preference to his elder brother Robert. Parliament deposed Richard the Second and gave the crown to Henry the Fourth. It acknowledged Richarjd the Third. It arrested, tried and executed Charles the First as a tyrant, a murderer and a traitor to his country ; and this action was taken "to the end no chief officer or magistrate might presume for the future to contrive the enslaving antl destruction of the nation with impunity." It deposed James the Second and called in Mary and William. On other occasions it assumed or exercised the power always supposed to belong to it, to declare who should be the lawful sovereign of England. While Richard the Second was on the throne the Duke of Gloucester and Bishop Arundel declared in the name of the Parliament, that, by an ancient statute, Parliament, with the common consent of the nation, had a right to depose a king who failed to govern according to the laws and by the advice of his peers. Finally, in 1701, Parliament by law settled the succession to the throne; and that act is still in force. By it Victoria became the queen on the death of her uncle, William the Fourth ; and thus she reigns as a constitutional monarch in accordance with the law made by the representatives of the people of the country. When Victoria was born George the Third was King. His sons, George, the Prince of Wales ; Frederick, the Duke of York ; and William, the Duke of Clarence, were all living. Two of them afterwards ascended the throne — the fi^rst as George the Fourth, and the third as William the Fourth. Therefore there was no more than a probability that the young princess would live to be a queen. Her own father, the Duke of Kent, was a well preserved man of fifty -two ; and it was quite within the bounds of possibility that he might outlive her, while it was also possible that either of her elder uncles might leave children who would have a superior claim to the throne. George the Third died in 1820, the Duke of Kent in 1825, the Duke of York in 1827, George the P'ourth in 1830; and Victoria then became heir apparent.

SAVINGS BANKS AT ALL OFFICIW. ^^'^ GENERAL BANKING CONDUCTED. ii i837-QUEEN'S JUBILEE- 1897 Shortly after that event, when she was about twelve years old, she was informed of the position mi which she stood, and that she mi},dit, and probably would, one day be the sovereij^n of the great empire of liritain. She appeared to feel the responsibility of the career which was thus opened before her more than the honor. She explained to the Baroness Lehzen, under whose guidance her education had been conducted, that she then understood why she had been required to pursue so many studies which she herself had not thought to be necessary. " I understand all better now," she said to her mother; and she added : " I will be good." She afterwards con- fessed that she "cried nnich " over the problems of the future; but evidently she set herself resolutely to work to face them, and to overcome all difficulties. As has been said, her father died in 1825, when she was six years of age. Her mother was a vvi.se and prudent woman, who understood the kind of education needed for one who might one day be a queen. She called to her aid the Baroness Lehzen ; and there is no doubt that their training of their young charge was the best that could be given. The history ot the past sixty years has proved that. A good deal of unpleasantness was caused by the earnest desire of King William that his young niece should appear at his court, and the firm deter- mination of the Duchess, her mother, that she should not. The court of King William was not a good school for a young lady of tender years, and it is fortunate that the King was not permitted to have his way. The educa- tion of the young Princess was conducted in a very quiet and commonplace manner ; and there was then, as there are now, many j'oung ladies, in more than oue rank of society, who do less work and enjoy more privileges than were enjoyed by the heir to the British throne. So many stories are told of the small sums of money placed at the disposal of Victoria, that many believe her mother to have lived in compara- tive poverty. Her means, certainly, were small for a princess ; but she was not by any means poor. She had an allowance of ^3,CX30 a year from Prince Leopold, her brother; the liritish Parliament granted her ^6,000 a year for the maintenance and education of the Princess, and this sum was afterwards increased to ;^i2,ooo. So that, during the reign of William the Fourth, his sister-in-law enjoyed an income of $75,000 a year. William the P'ourth died at Windsor Castle at half-past two o'clock on the morning of the 20th of June, 1837. The Archbishop of Canterbury atvd Lord Conyngham immediately took a carriage and drove to Kensington Palace, London, to inform the Princess — now Queen — of the fact. They experienced great difficulty in gaining admittance to the palace ; and it was not till they declared that they desired to see " the Queen " that any of the attendants would venture to waken her. She entered almost immediately, with a loose wrapper thrown over her night clothing, and her stockinglc.ss feet thrust into slippers. .So soon as they began to tell their story, and she became conscious that she was a queen, she extended her hand to them ; and A t! f( <1 li tf 1837 -QI^^KHN'S JUHILEE~i897 '3 :y ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ THE • •••Rank • ¥ OK A utliori/.etl Capital, - $1 ,(K)i).()(>() Paid-up Capitiil, - - - 7W,^)^)^> Total Assets, 5,500,000 ♦♦»»♦♦»»♦♦♦»♦»♦»»»♦♦♦♦♦♦ 9 .SAVINCuS R/INK i)i!:i>Ain7ir:N r HAMILTON BRATICH.TRADERS'BANK. ^ Interest allowed on Deposits.

I '4 i837-QUEEN'S JUBILEE-1897 there and then the lord spiritual and the lord temporal fell upon their knees and saluted the half-clad girl as their sovereign. A council was called for eleven o'clock, at which the new Queen presided with dignity and composure. Before the council was held, however, Victoria wrote a letter of condolence to her aunt, the widow of the deceased King. The letter was addressed: " To Her Majesty the Queen." When reminded that Queen Adelaide was now only Queen Dowager, she replied that she would not be the first to remind her of her changed condition. The following day she was formally proclaimed from an open window of St. James' Palace, " Our only lawful and rightful liege lady, Victoria the First, Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, Defender of the Faith." Since that memorable day nearly sixty years have passed, and the history of Queen Victoria has to a very great extent been the history of the British Empire, and it is not necessary to refer to it at length in this place. The great events have been the Russian war and the Indian mutiny. Small wars in Canada, South Africa, Afghanistan, Abyssinia, Persia, Burmah, China, Egypt, Ashantee, and some other places, have been but minor events in the life of a great nation, and have hardly created a ripple upon the serenity of the public mind. Some grave complications have arisen, when great wars seemed imminent ; but happily these pa'^^ed away without the dreaded evil. Once a war with France seemed almost unavoidable ; once a dispute with the United States threatened to embroil the two great kindred peoples ; only lately the tension between the British and German Govern- ments was overcome but by the utmost prudence and firmness. In all international complications, it is well understood, that the personal efforts of the Queen have been on the side of peace when consistent with national honor ; and that her prui' nee and political wisdom have counted for much in dealing with foreign g( ernments. In performing the exalted duties of a constitutional sovereign, the Queen has exercised admirable judgment and prudence. She has never in a .single instance outraged the feelings of her people, and has never even approached the line which constitutional monarchs cannot with safety cross. On two occasions she has exercised her prerogative — once in declaring the order of precedence to be taken by Prince Albert, and once in abolishing the purchase system in the army. On all occasions she has followed the advice of her ministers ; and it has been her good fortune, as well as that of the Empire, that the Prime Ministers have been, with at most one exception, wise and able, as well as patriotic men. Lord Melbourne, who was Premier at the date of the accession, was a most excellent adviser to a young and inexperi- enced sovereign ; and he was looked up to by the Queen as her personal friend after he ceased to be her constitutional adviser. The Duke of Wellington, although he was not Prime Minister after Victoria's accession, was always a prudent counsellor and friend. The First Ministers during the past sixty years have been as follows: Viscount Melbourne, 1835; Sir Robert Peel, 1841; Lord John Russell, 1846; Earl of Derby, 1852 ; Earl of '837-QUEEN'S JUBILEK-rSp; 15 . . .

While the Queen has been most careful not to appear in any manner desirous of interfering with or influencing the action of the people's representatives in fiaming laws, it is an open secret that her sj'inpathies have been in favor of legislation conferring privileges upon the people, and extending the sphere of self-government. On the lOth of February, 1840, the Queen married her cousin, I'rince Albert, son of the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. Undoubtedly the match was planned and promoted by the relatives of the royal pair; but certainly it was also a love match. Nobody who knows the firmness of cluuacter which the Queen has displayed can imagine that a husband could be imposed upon her against her will. She herself, being "the party of the first part" in such a transaction, proposed to the Prince. The affection which led to the marriage deepened and strengthened during the twenty-two years of their married life. Those who arc curious about such things may be interested in knowing that the names affi.xed to the marriage register were Alcxandrina Victoria Guelph and Francis Albert Augustus Charles Emmanuel Busici. Nine children were the fruit of this union, namely : Victoria, now Dowager Empress of Germany, born in 1840; Albert, Prince of Wales, born in 1841 ; Alice, 1843; Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, 1844; Helena, 1846; Louise, 1848; Arthur, 1850 ; Leopold, 1853; and Beatrice, 1857. The expansion of the British Empire during the reign of Queen Victoria has been marvellous; and while it is certain that her Majesty now rules over a wider extent of territory than ever before was subjected to the sway of one monarch, it is reasonably certain that her subjects are more numerous than those of any other ruler of ancient or modern times. It has been estimated that the Roman Empire, at the time of its widest extent covered l,ooo,cxxD square miles, and was populated by 100,000,000 people. The Russian Empire embraces more than 8,ooo,coo miles of territory and contains 100,000,000 inhabitants. But the dominions of V^ictoria are 12,000,000 miles in extent, and her people number 400,000,000. It has been said that the population of China exceeds this ; but only an estimate of the population of China can be made, and the probability is that it is materially less than 400,000,000. The improvement in the material condition of the people has been almost as wonderful. The first railway in the world was opened twelve years before the beginning of Victoria's reign. The first telegraph was patented in England in 1841. The first steamship crossed the Atlantic in 1837. Telegraphs, railways and steamships have almost revolutionized the trade of the world, and these, with other improvements, have correspondingly bettered the condition of all classes of the people. t i837-QUKKN'S JUBILKE— 1897 17 Walter Woods & Co.

EH i8 '837— QUEEN'S JUHILEE— 1«97 Victoria reigns over this vast empire not only according to the constitu- tional forms established by centuries of experience and according to the acts of Parliament, but by the love and admiration of the people over whom she rules. She has established an emi)irc in the hearts of her people such as the mailed hand of power could never secure. This result has been achieved by the purity of her life and the influence she has exercised upon public and private morals, by her wisdom as a ruler, by her works of charity, by her devotion to the domestic virtues, and by her sympathy with the common people in their labors, their sufferings, and the varied interests of their daily lives. For no other sovereign has there ever been greater loyalty and affection amorig all classes of the people. It is probable that the rejoicings on the sixtieth anniversary of the Queen's accession to the throne will be more general and more earnest than any previous demonstrations of a like nature; and it is quite certain that no j)eople were ever more united than are the varied peoples of the British ICmpire in fervently praying God Save the Queen. — ^SWWWtA . . . .

North HAMILTON, ONT. 20 1837— QUEEN'S JUBILEE— 1897 « « 4 Qiraclci •I 4 « NEAR the middle cf the sixteenth century of the Christian era, actinfj under instructions from Francis 1. of France, Jacques Cartier sailed from the little seajjort of St. Malo on a mission which was destined to chani^e the face of the world. In July of that year^i534 — he erected on the shore of Gaspe Bay a cross thirty feet in height bearing the Fleur-de-l,vs of France — a banner under which were afterwards to be fought the battles of a brave people for the possession of a contitient. The history of Cartier's second voy- age ; of his exploration of the river " whose mighty current gave its freshness for ;< thousand leagues to ocean's briny wave"; of the labors of the early missionaries ; of the estab- lishment of French rule in America — • all these events are as a tale that is told. A few years after the French crown had founded a state in Canada, a few Puritan refugees founded a people in New England. Their household gods consisted mainly of a bitter hatred toward the government of the motherland and a determination to die in the forest or be free. Others of their kin soon followed. They formed themselves, into a com- munity ; they enacted laws stern, crude and sometimes almost barbar- ous ; they trusted for help and prosperity only to God and their own strong hands. Herein lies the differ- entiation in the settlements of France and England in the New World. New France was colonized by a government ; New England by a ])eople. The British colonists left largely to themselves settled on the most fertile lands, built their towns on the most convenient harbors, directed their labors to the most l)rofitab!c commerce, and raised the iiiost valuable production.

Thousands of emmigrants from year to year poured over the wilderness. In a hundred and fifty years the British population exceeded that of France in the New World by nearly twenty fold. The British settlements in the New World, in spite of many grave defects, must ever be looked to as the arche- type of all successful attempts at colonization. Their results are of inestimable importance to mankind. The essence of their vitality is their close resemblance to the parent state. The same radical elements from which sprung the British nation are those which form the Canadian people. Similar conditions to those which have made Great Britain the greatest civilizing power in the world next to the Christian religion are those which surround the most valuable and progressive of her colonial posses- sions. The Canadian constitution has been perfected by the same gradual process which characterized the evolution of that of the older land. The same sturdy self-reliance, the same assertion of individual and national right which has been the boast of Britons for a thousand years is observed to be peculiar to their descendents across the sea. The true history of Canada begins with the Constitutional Act of 1791. The events immediately preceding that date form a record largely of the mighty struggle between Celt and S.i .or. for supremecy which culmin- ated on the plains of Abraham. So unimportant was Canada at that time to England that the government thought seriously of taking in ex- change for it one of the West India Islands. It was due to the efforts of Franklin that this exchange was not consummated. The French settlers transferred their allegiance to their conquerors, and had little reason to regret the step.

In that year the ■Quebec Act was passed ; but it was not suited to the changing conditions of the people owing to the influx of Loyalists from the United States. The act of 1 79 1 was the beginning of representative government in Can- ada, and is owing in great measure to the efforts of the United Empire Loyalists, who had sought by constitu- tional means to obtain the redress of their grievances, but who stubbornly refused to enjoy the fruits of rebellion and the preferments of adventurers, and who in consequence abandoned the rewards of their years of toil and became exiles in the Canadian wilderness.

The Constitutional Act separated Lower and Upper Canada, the divid- ing line being the Ottawa River. To each ijrovince was given a Legisla- ture, consisting of a Governor, a Legislative Council and Mouse of Assembly. The Legislative Coun- cillors were life appointees by royal authorit)', while members of As.sembly were to be chosen by the people once in four years. The act will ever remain famous, not alone because it was the first faint dawn of that con- stitution which makes Canadians the inost happily governed people in the world, but it was the act which finally severed the chord of friendship be- tween two of England s most re- nowned statesmen and orators, Fox and Burke. In Sei^tembcr, 1792, the first ])ar- liament of Upper Canada was held at Newark, now Niagara. The mem- oers are represented as plain home- spun clad farmers and merchants from the plough and the store. The population of the Upper Province was at that date about 12,000. The first session of the first parliament of the province lasted four weeks, and eight bills were passed.

In the second session of the first parliament of Upper Canada an act was jjasscd which should be to every Canadian a boast and pride. In the stirring events with which the progress of other races is associ- ated in Canada the sad subject of the aborigines is almost forgotten. Their very existence will soon be a recol- lection. They have left no permanent impression on the constitution of the nation which now spreads over their country. Like the mighty forest which was their coni, nial home they fell, and neither kindness nor cruelty seems to have arrested their inevitable fate. Under the arm of han'opean protection, and under the storm of European destruction they withered and wilted like the snow in springtime. Theirs is the saddest cha[)ter in the history of the sons of Adam. Their origin is unknown, and the story of their ancient deeds of glory has never been written. Little more than three centuries ago the Indian first gazed on the white strangers, and already we speak in the words of one of their descendants, " of reserves to him whose trail lay acrosshalf a continent." Gentle in peace ; terrible in war; their warriors, statesmen and orators commanded the admiration of their white brethren. Their acuteness of sense, their keeness of eyesight and hearing, have been frequently re- marked by travellers and historians. B\' some pec .liar instinct they could steer their courses through the track- less forest, over the vast prairies and even across wide sheets of water with unerring certainty. Without educa- tion, they have given evidence of remarkable intellectual character as orators, strategists and politicians. At the beginning of the present century the five {)rovinces, which nearly seventy years later formed the Canadian Confederacy, were in enjoy- ment of representative institutions.

The Canadian system of that time bore a striking similarity to that of the American colonies, when the crown-appointed officers were in con- stant collision with the representative bodies of the people. The evil effects of this system were continually felt, and until the time of Lord Durham no Governor-General or Lieutenant-Governor seemed able to grapple with the difficulties or suggest a remedy. It is singular with what rapidity a change was wrought when the long strain of discontent was at length broken by an uprising in the two provinces of Upper and Lower Can- ada. For years the people of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick had irried on an agitation against the system in vogue. Lord Durham at once understood that the remedy lay in the administering of the Govern- ment on those principles which have proved so successful in Great Britain. " I would not," he says, " impair a single prerogative of the crown ; on the c ntrary, I believe the interests of the peoples of these provinces re- quire the protection of prerogatives, which have not hitherto been exer- cised. But the crown must, on the other hand, submit to the necessary consequences of representative insti- tutions ; and if it has to carry on the Government in unison with a repre- sentative body, it must consent to carry it on by means of those in whom that representative body has confidence." For the expression of such views as these Lord Durham deserves the gratitude of Canadians, and though his labors in the interests of the Empire were not appreciated by Great Britain as they should have been, he is every year becoming Lun^sclcn Bros., WHOLESALE ROGERS TEA flHB COFFEE PVIPOl^TEl^S Cocoanut Baking Powder Manufacturers AND SPICE GRINDERS.

The trials throufjh whicii Canada passed in her struggle for responsible government, proved that the great body of the people had confidence that Great Britain would heed their grievances, and that constitutional agitation would best bring about a solution of the difficulties which agitated the provinces. The best sentiment was represented by the men of cool judgment and rational policy, rather than by Mackenzie or Papineau. From 1842 to 1867 was a critical period in Canadian history. The whole population in the British American provinces in 1840 was about 1,000,000. Made up of a num- ber of straggling colonies, without common aims, hopes or interests, without even the bond of a common language, viewing the rapid strides which the United States were making toward national greatness and indus- trial prosperity, is it any wonder many men — who happily lived to repent their folly — favored annex- ation ! Jiut with the right of self- government conceded, Canada awoke to her responsibilities, confidence in- creased on every side, the enterprise and energy of the people expanded, and a new era of progress was opened. Montreal awoke from the lethargy of two centuries, and became one of the great commercial centres of the continent ; Toronto, in the centre of an agricultural region of marvellous fertility, became the capital of the West. The union of 1840 was the germ of the union of 1867.

The result of this higher statesman- ship and wider responsibility was the Confederation of the provinces, cementing together the scattered lands of British North America into a federation possessing a territory almost as large as the great Republic to the south, and not inferior to it in those recourses which insure anation's greatness, and enjoying rights of self government which the younger generation of talented Americans are free to admit are greater than they themselves enjoy under the flag of the free. History is the most profitable of all studies. In it philosophy teaches by examples. When we learn to read it by the light of the under- standing instead of impulse, its ex- amples and warnings will afford us constant guidance in the paths of public and private virtue. As we review the struggles of the past in order that they may serve us in the efforts for the future we should not hesitate to pay a fitting tribute to those who laid the foundation of those communities and who have be- queathed us so noble a heritage of freedom. We, in Ontario, should honor those French Canadians, who, differ as we may from them, ever venerate the institutions of their origin, ever appreciate the advantages of British government, and have ever co-operated in all great measures for the unity of the provinces and the preservation of the Empire. We sliould glory in the Loyalists who formed by sea and lake communities for the perpetuation of British institu- tions and the honor of the British flag. We should applaud the virtues of the great body of pioneers and early settlers who sacrificed their lives on the altars of their industry, and who sleep in humble graves in the fair Dominion where they hewed out homes for themselves and their children. 38 i837— Quep:n's jubilee Canada's material progress has not been less marked than her political. From the rude batteaux which brought the Loyalists to the unknown wilds of Canada, to the Canadian line of steamers bending their courses across the Pacific from Vancouver to to Hong Kong, fulfilling the dream of Columbus and his adventurous successors is but one hundred years. The population of Canada to-day is between five and six millions. One hundred years ago the British government lent its aid to the needy exiles to begin their fight with the forest. To-day the farms, farm build- ings, stock and implements in Ontario alone are estimated to be worth one billion dollars. The estimated value of the production of Dominion farms is about five hundred million dollars per annum, and this with our unde- veloped North West prairies and vast regions of unsettl'-*d land in the older provinces. The vast mineral resources of the Dominion are engaging the attention of different parts of the world. In coal, iron and nickel the country is vastly wealthy. This is gratifying in view of the fact that those nations which combine agricultural and man- ufacturing industries are those which have left the seal of their greatness on the world's history. Canada's forests, fisheries and ship- fing excel those of any other country, n registered sea-going tonnage Canada ranks fourth among the countries of the world. Her port of St. John, N. B., possesses and navi- gates more vessels than Boston, Philadelphia or Baltimore, and is surpassed by but few cities of the British Empire except Liverpool, London and Glasgow. In 1850 there were 71 miles of railroad in operation. To-day there are over 14,000 miles. The first year, after Confederation the total imports and exports of Canada amounted to $129,500,000; in 1890 they were $218,- 607,390.

This is of necessity a hasty glance, but it is sufficient to show that the progress of the Dominion in wealth has not been discreditable to her people. The intellectual progress of Canada has gone on hand in hand with her political and material development. In 1890, $8,500,000 was spent on public schools; 21,120 teachers were employed, and nearly 1,250,000 pupils were taught. The high schools and universities provide an education second only to that of Oxford and Cambridge. Connected with these are such men as Sir Daniel Wilson, Sir William Dawson, and Dr. Grant — names famous in science and litera- ture on both sides of the Atlantic. Nearly 900 newspapers and period- icals are published in the Dominion, and the enter[)rise, ability and inde- pendence with which the Canadian press is conducted is a marked feature of so youthful a country. Ten thous- and five hundred clergymen minister to the spiritual needs of the people in the various denominations throughout the land. In literature Canada is proud of the names on her roll of honor. Judge Ilaleburlen and Gar- neau.the historian, belong to a period some years past. The galaxy of present-day writers attests the intel- lectual progress of the people. Among those who adoi)t the medium of prose are N. D. Le Scur, I'rofcssor Clark, Miss Murray, John Reade and Sarah Jeannette-Duncan. Among the poets: Charles Sangster, Professor Roberts, Miss Macbar, Bliss Carman, Archibald Lampman, W. W.

To believe that they have just cause for an occa- sional display of civic self-adulation, it is only necessary to reflect that less than a century af^o, where now fifty thousand people dwell 'neath the shadow of spire and dome, the forest primeval grew unbroken. The tangled underbrush of those days has given place to green lawn, fruitful orchard, or productive market- garden. The Indian trail over which the moccasined feet of dusky savages stealthily trod, is crossed by paved streets, on the sides of wnich grow the fairest among nature's forest chil- dren — the lovely maples, covered at this Jubilee season with mantles made of Canadian emblems. Where the lofty pines and the hemlocks, bearded with moss indistinct in the twilight, "stood" like Druids of old, sad and prophetic, there are great rectangular blocks of buildings, tall chimneys, and well-kept homes. The red man's war- whoop has given place to the shrill steam-whistle; and the ground of the camp-fire, round which he danced in preparation for battle, is a public park, where the " pale face " children play their peaceful games. The burial mounds of the barbarous tribes, where the living brought their gifts to the dread spirits of the departed, have been succeeded by stately temples of worship where anthems of Christian praise are sung to the same Great Spirit whom the pagans of a century ago worshipped in their own barbaric way. The myriads of wild fowl which found shelter amid the foliage of the forest, the red deer that cropped the green grasses by the ba}', the skulk- ing wolf that made night hideous with his howl, the bittern, the owl, the swan, and the untamed songbird have alike vanished from the scene.

There is a tradition which states that La Salic and his voya<:jeurs en- camped on the shore of Hamilton Bay, then known in the soft tongue of the Aboriginies as " Macassa " (beautiful waters). After revelling in the game with which the place abounded and admiritig the beautiful scene, the immortal explorer sailed away over the blue waters of Lake Ontario, leavingtheastonished Indians to their reflections on the strange sight they had witnessed. The tale was told around the camp-fires of the red- men, and a hundred years passed before the pale face was again known to cross the Indian trails in that region. Who the first white man was to visit the present site of the city is a question often discussed, but one which the writer declines any attempt to answer. In that connection it may be stated that the plans of the original survey of the townships of Barton and Salt- fleet were registered on the 25th of October, 1791, and regular patents issued in 1796. This does not by any means settle the question of first settlement, as a number of people had attempted the task of home making in the woods before the gov- ernment surveys were made. As early as 1785, Charles Depew and George Stewart had " staked " their claims in the region. About the same time Richard Beasley, an Indian trader, laid claim to the land forming the present site of Dundurn Park, as well as that which perpetu- ate? his name in Beasley's Hollow. In the churchyard of Christ Church Cathedral a moss-covered monument bears this inscription : In memory ol RICH.\RD BE.^SLEY, ESQ., who departed this life on the i6th day of FKBRL'ARY, 1S42, Aged 80 years and 7 months. " The first settler at the head of the Lake." There is no question that Robert Land was among the earliest of those who settled on the site of the present city. It is claimed by his descend- ants that he was actually the first white man to take up his abiding i i 32 1837— QUEEN'S JUBILEE— 1897 place there. There seems to be a dearth of documentary evidence bearing on the subject, and the (lues- tion is likely to remain for some time in doubt. The region was settled by United Empire Loyalists, to whom any man might be proud to trace his ancestry. There is firmly implanted in the minds of men a feeling of reverence for the past. In older lands than ours the social standard is ofttimcs set in the line of hereditary descent. We know with what pride Macaulay traces his hero Hastings to the Norman Conquest, and records the fact of his ancestors fighting with rude weapons in the mighty struggle be- tween Saxon and Norman. As our nation grows older and appeals are made to the same element in human nature, surely we may pardon the pride of any who establish direct descent from those who remained loyal to king and country during the Revolution, and especially may we do so if they themselves be found loyal to the best interests of the land their forefathers did so much to render worthy the highest sentiments of its inhabitants. In 1813 George Hamilton laid out a portion of his farm into town lots. These formed the nucleus of the present city. In 1814 a general store was opened on the corner of King and John streets. It is a happy co- incidence that the monument of Can- ada's greatest statesman should stand at the intersection of the same two thoroughfares, a ntting tribute to his LEADING . . . m^ ^^ InlLLINERS AND et^G^ ^^JRESSMAKERS^** Hinntian & Co.

On the completion of Burlington Canal in 1S32, Ilainilton became the head of navigation on Lake Ontario. With the opening of this avenue of comiTierce the city began to grow rapidl>' and was soon a thriving centre. The Desjardincs Canal was also completed in 1832, and until the coiTipletion of the Great Western Railway was a most successful enter- prise. In 1833 an act was passed defining the limits of the town and establish- ing a market and police force. Some iilea of the marvellous growth of Hamilton may be obtained from the fact that in 1836 its population was only 2,846, while in 1S54 't was over 20,000. On the 9th of June, 1846, the city was incorporated, and for some time thereafter its growth was uninterrupted. It suffered sev- erely by reason of the financial panic of 1859, and 't^ advance was retarded for a number of years. A few statistics showing the pro- gress of the city may not ptove uninteresting : In 1867 the total value of assessed property was $8,896,113. At the present time it amoimts to $25,416,- 240. An increase of $16,520,127. The debenture debt in 1867 ainounted to $2,511,092.42; while now, despite the large expenditure, it amounts to only $3,631,773.01. The assctts of the city exceed its liabilities by $265,052.83. There are single works of the city which if sold would pay off the whole debt. The area of the city is 3,696 acres. There are 90^ miles of streets ; up- wards of forty miles of sewers, over ninety miles of water mains and over fifty acres of public parks. In the Federal Parliainent and Provincial Legislature, respectively, Hamilton is represented by two inembers.

There is also a Jewish Synagof>ue, a branch of the British and Foreign Bible Society, a Young Men's Christian Association, and a Young Women's Christian Association. The majority of the city churches are substantial and commodious structures. The members in all are active in their supervision of the spiritual needs of their communicants. There are few cities in the world the size of Hamilton in which order is maintained by so small a ])olice force. At the head of the force is Chief Alex. Smith, a most ef^cicnt and industrious officer, who has under his charge fifty men. The chief has himself risen from the ranks. He joined the forcf* in November, 1872, was appointed i sergeant in 1876, sergeant-major m 1887, and chief in '95. The city is divided into three dis- tricts, and there are four stations. At No. 4 Station the patrol wagons and ambulance are kept. Last year the patrol signal system was put in operation, and the results obtained have been satisfactory. The force is composed of a fine athletic and intelligent body of men, each of whom on joining was required to come up to a rigid standard of physical development. It has been the boast of Hamilton's citizens for many 3'ears that her police force, including the detective department, was second to none in any city of 5O,cx)0 in the world. The i)resent state of the organization makes the claim still hold good. During the year 1896 the value of city proi)crt)- lost or stolen was $9,897. Of this amount $7, 1 39 was re- covered by the police. During the year there were 1821 arrests, of which 269 were made with warrants.

In his annual report Chief Smith makes the observation that juvenile crime is slij^htly on the increase, and recommends as a remedy for the evil a judicious administration of corporal punish-ment. The Fire Department of Han^.ilton and Chief Aitchison are synonymous terms. Tlic department is one of the most efficient on the continent and what it is the " Biy; " chief has made it. The cciuipment is almost perfect, the men have a hi'^jh sense of the duties they are en};agcd to perform, and do them willingly. The perfec- tion of the system accounts for the fact that during recent years Hamil- ton has had no disastrous firos and her citizens have done much to enlarge the bank deposits of insurance com- panies. There is probably no city in the world of Hamilton's size in which the school system is more extensive or efficient. The expense of its main- tenance is heavy and the citizens bear it cheerfully. The public schools are under the supervision of \V. H. liall- ard, M. A., inspector, an educationist of wide experience and high attain- ments. Under his ins{)cctorship in 1896 there were 165 teachers, 30 of whom held first class, 104 second class, 21 kindergarten and 10 third class certificates. The salaries of the l)ublic school teachers during the year amoimted to about $66,ocx3. The total number of pupils enrolled was 8,755. the average attendance for the year being 75 85 per cent. The value of the Public School property is estimated at $460,980, and of the Separate School property $60,200.

Good teachers are engaged, the schools are open to all, and are well attended. There are in the city two Business Colleges, each under the principal- ship of an experienced teacher. Two valuable educational institu- tions exist in the Wesley an Ladies' College, under the principalship of the distinguished Dr. Burns ; and the Loretta Academy, a Roman Catholic institution which provides a cultured training for young ladies, under tlie direction of Sister M. Eucharia, who has had many years experience in teaching throughout the Province. There is also a Public Art School, which was founded in 1885, an insti- tution which is exerting a wide and beneficial influence. The Hamilton Association, the Wentworth Historical Society atid the Canadian Club arc institutions of a historical and literary nature, each doing an admirable work in the city in pursuit of the objects for which they were iounded. The Hamilton Public Library will compare favorably with any in the Dominion. It contains over 24,000 volumes and is one of the chief features of interest in the city. During the year 1896 the library was open 305 days ; the total recorded use of books was 221,672 volumes, an average daily use of 726 volumes. During the seven years the library has been in existence the total use of the books in it has been nearly 1,300,- 000 volumes.

Hamilton possesses a large and well equipped hospital for the sick and injured. The cost of its construction was over $50,000, and there is in it accommodation for 150 patients. Besides the City Hospital there is St. Joseph's Hos})ital, under the control of the Roman Catholic Church, an institution thoroughly inodern in every way and conducted in a most satisfactory manner. Hamilton enjoys the use of an electric railway system in every way modern in equipment. There are entering the city two electric railways, one running from Burlington, a distance of ten miles, the other from Beamsville, a distance of twenty-four miles. Surveys have been made for electric linos to other points.

Among those whose memories the present generation of llamiltonians delights to honor, the most conspicuous i»lace belongs to Colonel the Honorable Sir Allan Napier McaNab, known to his contemporaries as Baronet of Dun- durn, Hamilton, Canada West. Col- onel MacNab was born at Niagara in 1798. He was of Scotch descent and came of a warrior race. His father WIS in His Majesty's /fst Regiment, a: id his grandfather bclongerl to the famous Hlack Watch. When the Americans attacked Toronto, in the war of 1812, Sir Allan, then a boy at school, was selected, with some of his com])anions, as old enough to carr)' a musket, and after the retreat at Kingston became a midshipman in Sir James Yeo's ship, and crossed to Sackett's Harbour and other points on the American side of the Lake. He was with General Riall when Black Rock and Buffalo were burned in retaliation for Niagara. At the close of the war he studied law, and was called to the Bar in 1825 and began practice in Hamilton. He was the first appointed Queen's Counsel in Upper Canada. He was elected to Parliament in 1829 for Wentworth, and becai ■ the city's first rejiresen- tative aftci having served as member for the county through three Parlia- ments. It was during the Rebellion of 1837-8 that Sir Allan became more than a local celebrity. He was in command of the Cana- dian militia at that time, and his ser- vices were duly appreciated, not only in his tiative country, but by Her Majesty as well. Sir Allan was a hard fighter politically, as well as in his capacity as colonel. He battled vigorously for the retention of the clergy reserves, but it is to his credit that when he saw the country was strongly averse to his view, he graci- ously submitted and rendered every _ 40 1837— QUEEN'S JUBILEE— 1897 j^ assistance in the settlement of that much-vexed question. Sir Allan sat in the Assembly through nine succes- sive Parliaments, and was never absent from his place a week except during the last two sessions, when illness confined him to his home. He was Prime Minister in 1854, and dur- ing his administration the clergy reserves question was settled ; the reciprocity act was passed ; the seig- nioral tenure difficulties were ad- justed ; and the militia act was his last measure. Sir Allan was knighted in 1838, and made a baronet on his retirement from the office of Premier in 1856. The following is from the Hamilton •' Spectator " of 1857 : "To Sir Allan MacNab Canada is indebted tor its preservation as an integral portion of the British provinces, and to him Hamilton owes a lasting debt of gratitude for having by his exertions placed it in the proud position of the third commercial cit)- in the province. Some of his opponents have at- tempted to rob him of the credit of having accomplished anything for the benefit of the place in which he has resided ever since it was a mere hamlet; but his works speak for them- selves, and we will only point to that noble monument the Great Western Railway." Sir Allan died at Toronto, August 8th, 1862. Another eminent man whose mem- ory is revered by Hamilton citizens was Hon. Isaac Buchanan. Mr. Bu- chanan was the pioneer of the whole- sale trade in Western Canada. At one time he was connected with the following firms : Senior partner in the firm of P. Buchanan & Co., Glas- gow ; Isaac Buchanan & Co., New York ; I. Buchanan, Harris & Co., Montreal; Buchanan, Harris & Co., Hamilton, C. W. ; and Adam Hope & Co., London, C. W. Mr. Buchanan saw that unless the clergy reserve question was settled the Provinces would remain in a state of turmoil, and in consequence became a candidate for Parliament for Toronto in 1841, FIREWORKS .^^^s?.

He lent his energies to the securing of responsible government, the educational sys- tem, the municipal system, the con- trol of Provincial trade formerly held by the Colonial office, creating a Pro- vincial sinking fund and systeir>izing the finances of the Province, organiz- ing the geological survey, the reduc- tion of duty on Canadian wheat in 1843, an act on the part of the British Government which was then consid- ered a great boon. Mr. Buchanan died on Oct. ist, 1883. Other distinguished Hamiltonians were Hon. Harcourt Bull, editor and proprietor of the Gazette, who was a member of the Legislative Council, and afterwards a senator ; and Judge Miles O'Reilly, "the Father of the Bar." At present the city is represented in the Senate by Hon. Donald Mc- Innes and Hon. W. E. Sanford,and in Parliament by Messrs. T. H. Macpher- son and A. T. Wood. The city's representatives in the Provincial Legislature are Hon. J. M. Gibson, Commissioner of Crown Lands, and J. T. Middleton. It is impossible to mention in a brief article the names of those who have assisted in the consummation of the city's greatness. It is sufficient to say that where her interests are at stake, Hamilton knows no disloyalty on the part of her citizens. The utmost unanimity exists among them while they fight their civic battles for progress and prosperity. iiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiimmiiiiiiiim SMOKE THE 5 Cents, JUBILEE F-LAGS, 20 cents nnd upwards.
