on the ply of freight Since there l‘cu 0011 ofc Sc the At] serv her, da 3' We are far from sympathizng with many of Mr. Goldwin Smith’s politiâ€" cal opinions and aspirations, but we are free to express our high admiru~ tion for his splendid talents, and for his unfaltering courage in boldly pr0~ claimng what he holds to be right. candidate for Kass York 2 pending Federal election, i ion to Mr. W. F. McLean‘ “Canada,” at their annual banquet. Well, Mr. Smith did reply, and the applause with which he was received, both before and after his address, must have been a fitting rebuke to the narrow-minded men who are ever ready to thrust their darts at him. It is needless to say that the Professor’s remarks were worthy of the gentle- man that he is. Indeed, these who objected to his appearance knew well that he would say nothing that would reflect discredit either upon himself" or the Press Association. When Mr. Goldwin Smith first be- came a citizen of Canada, now many years ago, people Could be counted 1)) the hundred who acted as though they had a license to pelt this cultur- ed gentleman with stones and brick- bats. His reputation as a brilliant scholar and a powerful writer pre- ceded him, and, what is of infinitely greater moment, he was known as a man of profound moral eonvictions. Such a one at least deservedfrom the enlightened part of the community all that was due to knowledge, to ability and to spotless character. But for daring to think for himself and making known his beliefs on public questions, for doing what every man has a right to do, for doing what every sincere and courageous man is sure to do, he was continually be- ing assailed with torrents of abuse, which would be considered grossly unjust if poured on the worst criminal in the land. His most bitter de- tractoxs never dared to question the wide and accurate range of his ment- al stores, or the purity, strength and beauty of hisliterary style. On these points it was undeniable that he had no living superior, and we are of the opinion, he had no living equal. Times, however, have greatly changed, and the few who yet ven- ture to open up on this gentlemanâ€" whose generosity to all benevolent in- stitutions and private charitics is ac- knowledged by everybodyâ€"the vials of their insensate wrath; are general- ly of the calibre of Colonel Denison and John Castell Hopkins. - This was shown a couple 'of weeks ago when a of those seem to think they have a monopoly of loyal~ ty in this countryâ€"strouglyâ€"protested ag..tinst the Press Association aSking Mr. Smith to reply to the toast, Runmmn HILL Tim Eiliim'zai.
