Lord Lorne, the new Viceroy of Canada, made his farewell

speech to his late constituents at Inverary on Tuesday. It was not a very good one. The Marquis praised the voters for not asking him to come and address them every year or half-year, and for not worrying about the number of divisions in which he had voted, and advised them to resist the creation of caucuses, as Members ought to be independent, especially on foreign politics. The most original thing he said was that it was a mistake to consider imperial or colonial affairs only from a home point of view, a remark which he illustrated by quoting the home objection to grant the Queen the title of "Empress of India," which the rest of the Empire desired.
