PERSONNEL, OP THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF COMMONS.

RT. HON. SIR WILFRID LAURIER, P.O., K.C-M.G.

(Prime Minister and President of the Council.)

PERSONNEL OF THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF COMMONS. 1 1

Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Prime Minister of Canada, was born in the village
of St. Lin, County of L'Assomption, Province of Quebec, on the 2Oth of
November, 1841, his father being the late Carolus Laurier, Provincial Land
Surveyor, a descendant of an old French family. He was educated at
L'Assomption College and at the University of McGill, where, in 1864,
he took the degree of B.C. L. He was called to the Bar the same year,,
and on October 11, 1880, was appointed a Q.C. His first parliamentary
experience was as a member of the Quebec Assembly, to which he was-
elected in 1871 for the Counties of Drummond and Arthabaska. lie
represented that constituency in the local House until 1874, when he
resigned to contest the same seat for the House of Commons, in which he
was successful. In 1877 he entered Hon. Mr. Mackenzie's Administration
as Minister of Inland Revenue. At the by-election held through his
acceptance of office he was defeated, but found a seat in Quebec East,
through the resignation of the Hon. I. Thibaudeau, and retained his port-
folio until the resignation of the Mackenzie Administration in 1878. He
was re-elected for Quebec East at the general elections of 1878, 1882,
1887, 1891 and 1896, in which year he was also elected for Saskatchewan,
but chose to stand by his old constituency. On the retirement of the
Hon. Edward Blake, in 1888, from the leadership of the Liberal Party,
Mr. Laurier was unanimously chosen for the position, which by his win-
ning personality and commanding eloquence he has vitalized from a dor-
mant faction into a living force. On the resignation of Sir Charles
Tupper's Administration in 1896, Sir Wilfrid was sent for by Lord
Aberdeen to form a Government, himself as Prime Minister and President
of the Council. Sir Wilfrid, like a great many of Canada's public men,
has had some journalistic experience, having been at one time editor of a
paper called Le DefricJieur. At the celebration of Queen Victoria's
Jubilee in 1897, Sir Wilfrid represented Canada with such dignity and
grace as to command the admiration of all classes in the two countries.
On that occasion Her Majesty bestowed on him the rank of K.C.M.G.,
and he was also the recipient of many other tokens of appreciation
from different cities in England and Scotland. He also visited Paris, and
was specially honored by the President of the French Republic and by
several public bodies. During his tour, which was in the nature of a tri-
umphal procession; he delivered several notable addresses, and, for a time
at least, attracted universal attention to Canada, which there is good rea-
son to believe will benefit greatly in the future from the masterly way in
which he set forth her claims as a field for the capitalist and emigrant.
Sir Wilfrid was married on May 13, 1868, to Miss Lafontaine, who shares-
with him the esteem of the whole Canadian people.

PERSONNEL, OF THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF COMMONS. 45.

Lord Strathcona, better known as Sir Donald A. Smith, was born
in Morayshire, Scotland, in 1820, and educated there. He came to Canada
when quite a youth, and entered the service of the Hudson's Bay Company
rising gradually step by step until he attained the position of Director and
afterwards President, Resident. Governor and Chief Commissioner in
Canada, and was elected in 1888 to the position of Governor of that
Corporation. It is safe to affirm that no man living knows more of that
extensive tract of country known as the North-West Territories than
Lord Strathcona. He has led a busy and active life, and during his long
career has been closely identified with most of the great commercial
enterprises which have done so much to build up Canada, and at the present
time is President of the Bank of Montreal. He represented Winnipeg
and St. John in the Manitoba Assembly from the first meeting of that
body in 1871, until January, 1874, when he resigned. Sat in the
Commons for Selkirk on the admission of Manitoba into Confederation
in 1871, and was re-elected at the general elections of 1872, 1874 and
1878, which latter, upon petition, was voided. He was returned for
Montreal West in 1887, and sat continuously for that constituency until
Parliament was dissolved in April, 1896. Sworn of the Privy Council and
appointed High Commissioner April 24, 1896. Lord Strathcona's many
acts of benevolence are well known. In conjunction with Lord Mount-
Stephen he built and endowed the Royal Victoria Hospital in the Queen's
Jubilee year, 1887, and his munificent gifts to McGill College (of which
he is Chancellor) has been the means of raising that institution to a fore-
most position among the seats of learning of this Continent. His latest
gift in this connection is the building of the new " Donalda College" for
the higher education of women. On the celebration of her " Diamond
Jubilee," Her Majesty the Queen was graciously pleased to bestow a
peerage upon Sir Donald under the title of Lord Strathcona and Mount
Royal. A Liberal-Conservative. — Montreal.

ed the usual occupation of the
time, farming', and the son helped
him. At the age of twenty he
obtained a gift horse from his
lather, and joined a Company of
York Light Dragoons under Major
Wilmot, this Corps having been
raised "to protect the interests of the Province during the troubles which
existed between the Colonies and the United States in regard to the
boundary line between the Province of New Brunswick and the bordering
State of Maine." It was after this that Mr. Temple, having good fore-
sight, at once perceived that the lumbering business offered an excellent
field for enterprise, and embarking in this business he soon had achieved
so much success that he was enabled to purchase the splendid Poquiock
Mills. He is now engaged in the lumber business on an extensive scale
There is no other man to whom the central portion of New Brunswick is
as much indebted as Mr. Temple. In 1869, in conjunction with Mr.
Burpee, he be^an the construction of what is known as the Fredericton
Branch Railway, a road which gave the Capital and the country surround-
ing it connection with the Western Extension Railway (formerly the
St. John and Maine Railway), which connects with the great railway
system. In 1871 it was completed and ready for traffic, and Mr. Temple
has remained its President since. Mr. Temple is proprietor of the largest
farm in New Brunswick, situated in Gloucester County, it having an area
of five hundred and thirty acres. For about twenty years Mr. Temple
held the position of Sheriff of York. He is a director of the People's
Bank of Fredericton. Upon the death of John Pickard, in 1884, he con-
tested York in the interests of the Conservative party, and was success-
ful, defeating his opponent by 178 votes. In 1887 he was again re-elected
over Mr. Gregory by a majority of four hundred, and again in 1891 he
defeated the Hon. F. P. Thompson by a majority of two hundred and
twenty-seven. He retained his seat until the month of April, 1696, when
he was called to the Senate. Mr. Temple has made a valuable represen-
tative, for among the many benefits conferred upon his constituency
the greatest was his splendid achievement of bridging the St. John
between Fredericton and St. Mary's. The Canada Eastern Railway, which
otherwise could not reach Fredericton, attains its entrance over this bridge.
